This is my profile. There are many like it, but this one is mine. I post a lot of random stuff. Greenville, SC. DMs welcome, or hit my GVoice 321-AKA-TINA
OMGOMGOMG!! Trader Joe's is coming to town!! Give me a TJ shopping list in the comments.
orange chicken - holly #ravingfangirl
Also, I never leave the store without a bottle or two of their lime sparkling water. - vicster.
Two months ago I was drawing unemployment. Today I am conducting 2 interviews. Life is weird.
Go girl! - Shevonne
You can say that again. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
You are where you belong, girl. So proud of you. - Josh Haley
*snooze* coffee isn't working.
Amanda made me snarf my coffee!! - FFing Enigma
I am now at hour 7 of "functioning but in danger of falling asleep at any moment". Dunno why I feel this way since I slept last night. Not great, but OK enough. Apparently not enouh (or well enough) to keep me from waking up tired though =(
My head hurts and my face hurts. I'm not 100% sure whether the two are related.
:( - Katy S
Dave can bite my big toe!!! He put the milk jug back into the fridge empty, so I am unable to satisfy my midnight craving for cereal. FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!
justifiable homicide - VALZONE#SCREWED
Take it from me: a six pack of Whole Foods soda in Key Lime or Cherry Vanilla Creme goes very VERY well with coconut rum. I should've remembered this in preparation for this evening =/
Oh, man. Those flavors sound great! - Easter LAMB
Too TOO good! The lime soda and the coconut rum taste a lot like an Ocean Water from Sonic... - FFing Enigma
One of the ways Imma Geek: I love seeing computer hardware and mobile phones in movies. That stuff that was so Damn COOL 10 years ago? Brick and a half.
Apparently the long-distance retinal scanner has been developed. - Kevin L
It's 2010. Why does this company actually advertise that their TP is 2-ply instead of 1?
I think Scotts is still one ply? - adf
I'll take 1-ply that doesn't fall apart over the cheap 2-ply that dissolves upon contact with wet surfaces. (Note this cheap 2-ply shows up in office bathrooms all the time) - Maggie
Yeah, I'm watching Legally Blond. What of it!?!??
I watch that show almost every time it's on, too. - Trish R
I like that movie. - Bren
I like those movies - Scoble, Alex Scoble
I only watch Clueless for Paul Rudd, TYVM - FFing Enigma
With a new job comes new traditions. Friday's at lunch I go to the Publix down the block and get fixin's for next week's lunches. Today I got 4 frozen meals, 2 lbs of grapes, 2 lbs of pears, a lb of apples, 2 lbs of carrots, 2 bags of Craisins, a box of crackers, and munster cheese for $22. I love a good sale... And food, in case you couldn't tell.
Wow. I want a Publix! - Rochelle
I really need to check out their yogurt selection it sounds like. Big fan of yogurt but alway forget to buy any. - That's So CAJ!
My current favorite lunch, little frozen Chinese take-out boxes. Omnomnomnom!!! - http://www.taipeifood.com/product...
Bourbon Street ≠ Chinese to me. - Easter LAMB
Tried the Bourbon Street Chicken earlier this week. Not as spicy as the Orange Chicken was, but still good. - Easter LAMB
Guess what I'm doing August 21 2017... - http://www.hermit.org/eclipse...
Solar eclipse in mah backyard. Woohoo!! - FFing Enigma
Drinking coffee and watching I Am Legend again. I really like this movie, until the last 5 minutes. Then I kinda hate it.
That movie gives me daymares. - Jenny
Agreed =/ Then again, I can't watch Humane Society commercials either... - FFing Enigma
Fireworks? Someone must be really happy about the recent autumnal equinox...
Nothing like burning down some freshly orange tinted trees - Steve C, Team Marina
My options tonight: be a grownup and clean both bathrooms, be a truant and head out of the house for a coffee and a doughnut, or be a slug and watch random TV and drink the coffee I have here. Pfffft, like there was even a question!!
That would be option three, then? - Laura Norvig
Did you read earlier about CLEANING ALL THE THINGS? (At least I think that's what it said. I'm paraphrasing.) - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
Slug. Always. - Josh Haley
Courtesy of Dave on his way to tonight's pool tournament:
=) - Anika
This week's summary >> I worked, dad got approved for 'food stamps' over a year and a half after his stroke, Dave and I went to a derby scrimmage in Charlotte last night and didn't get home until 1a on a school night, and he is playing a pool tournament this weekend to try to win another trip to Vegas.
This all means one thing: I'm flyin' solo tonight with a bruised up leg, a sore nose (elbow to the face), and a cramp free hand thanks to Uber Mouse. - FFing Enigma
Yay for the cramp-free hand, at least! - Easter LAMB
Oh, and a lady had a wreck in front of our office today. Bear in mind we're in a 35mph zone, and this lady managed to turn her car over. OMGWTFBBQ!!! - FFing Enigma
Das Uber Mouse!!! Logitech Performance Mouse MX - Mouse - Wireless - 2.4 GHz - http://www.google.com/product...
tres' magnifique. - Gunneh-MoTo Calls me that
I normally hate thumb buttons too, but the ones on Uber Mouse are pretty out of the way. I've reset mine so that the bottom one pastes instead of switching applications, and the top one refreshes instead of zooming. Cause I'm lazy like that =D - FFing Enigma
What's to hate about thumb buttons? Me likey. - Scott
My job is getting more and more mouse intensive: I have had cramps in my right hand for 2 weeks now. Today I finally said FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUuuuuu and dropped stupid money on a better mouse over my lunch break. I should be able to claim this as a preventative care medical expense, right? =D
Can you ask your employer to cover the cost? - Anne Bouey
I've got the predecessor to that mouse and I love it. It's got a feature that the newer version is missing, the "flip wheel" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Scott
The AC is not working in my office today. It's going to be in the 90s today. I picked the wrong day to wear pants =(
Is there ever a right day? - Alex Scrivener
*hands over a fan* - Kirsten
:( - Anne Bouey
we are having "enviromental issuse" here as well. *sigh* - MoTO Boychick Devil
New boss took me to lunch today and informed me that he and the CEO created a comp plan tied to my job performance. All in all it'll wind up being about a 20% raise. I'm rather proud my jaw didn't land in the plate with my cheesy burrito.
1UP Tina. - Derrick
oh she's back.. !! thats nice to hear that its going well !! - Peter Dawson
We left a party last night at about 3a. On our way back to the interstate we saw a 1 year old cow grazing in the culvert in front of an apartment complex. Quite surreal...
Dinner was 5 hours ago. My tummy has a rumbly and I have a sleepy. Hrm...
Warm milk? - Easter LAMB
Indeed it does Derrick. Sadly, I have no biscuit =( - FFing Enigma
Dave just got home. Someone walked in the front door with him and I don't recognize the voice. Good thing I'm wearing pants and stuff.
Turns out it was someone I know picking up some cigars. Still, though: good thing I'm wearin pants and stuff.... - FFing Enigma
It's not a FF homecoming if I don't crowdsource somethin', so here goes: best lappie, netbook, or tablet for under $400. Needed for internet browsing, email, and mebe some games: I do enough computing at work. >>GO<<
No idea what's good now. My Dell Mini 9 is out of print now but was only $199. Maybe Dell has some deals still. - Josh Haley
Any games I play are web based time wasters so processing power won't really come into play. Odds are I'll just start saving my extra lunch money and get something when electronics go on sale for the holidays. - FFing Enigma
Other things that have happened lately: I went to a pretty epic party on the 11th. Dave was on his bike trip so I did the smart thing and stayed the night (as did 13 other people). Pic 1 is at the beginning of the night (my hair is growing like a weed as always), pic 2 is after I changed into my stay the night shirt =D
Panty meme. I am aware that this is cheating since I wear them in public, but I bought them off the panty rack at Kmart so they count dammit!
*whistles* *catcalls* - Hookuh Tinypants
Hey, if there aren't derby girls with runs in their tights, I'd want my money back. Just sayin'. - Wirehead
After posting my slippers and talking about my slippers, I realized I wasn't wearing my slippers. Have been going balls to the wall since I got home from work. Trust me, I have now rectified the situation.
Whose balls? - Sue - Friendfeed is best
In Tangentially Tina news: we won our 8/21 bout in Greensboro where I played every other jam. It was our league's first ever away win. We followed this up with a win at the tournament on 9/4 in Myrtle Beach. The only bad thing? One of our best blockers broke her neck, I poop you not. Granted she just snapped a protuberance on a cervical vertebra,...
... But STILL.... - FFing Enigma
DOOD. Gratz, but srsly, DOOD. I hope she recovers well! - Hookuh Tinypants
The funny part (yeah, there actually is a funny part) is that she's a dancer of the glitter and pole variety with a lot of regulars who see her because she does roller derby. Everyone's first thought was to wonder whether the neck brace would help or hinder her ability to work and/or her tips =D - FFing Enigma
The last month and a half in three sentences: I dropped off the face of the earth and fell into a cube. After 6 weeks I outgrew the cube and got moved into my first office ever. Once I found the sock monkey slippers I knew my life had changed forever.
Long story short: OMFGWTFBBQ where did the last month go?!?? I'll tell you where it went: me stuck in a cube with no way to internetz without everyone seeing me and my phone post blocking my FF efforts. Why do you think I'm so excited about the office: no one can see my monitors!!! =D - FFing Enigma
Actually, just about every salaried person in this place rolls with two monitors. They also have laptops too but I'm happy not having my work that portable. - FFing Enigma
Work is going well so far (1st paycheck is Monday, woohoo!!!). I'm about to be put in charge of managing and approving all store collateral for 50+ locations. Including office supplies. My inner #OfficeSupplyFiend wonders if they realize what they've done...
Oooh, office supplies are my porn...I went to Office Max today and wandered for a while. Bought the one thing I went there for and was very proud of my self-control. Cause there were some fabulous retractable gel ink pens I would have loved to own. - Corinne L
Hey Tina, haven't heard from you in a bit and am hoping the job is still going well. - Stephen Mack
