The lil' things that bother me

I wasn't a superofficer
I've never had sex on the beach. or at all. no actually this doesn't bother me much, added it for fun
I haven't produced or shot on the HD workflow. nor do i know what it means
I haven't produced or directed a single film
I couldn't code in HTML, PHP, ASP, and SQL at 17, and still can't
I have no idea what's the Baroque music era, if there is one
I have just 3 skirts and wear only only 1
I couldn't do a DVD [OR insert item of choice] sales pitch even if my life depended on it
I am not thinking substantial thoughts at all
At the age of 27 the only thing i think i'll concern myself with would be my debt
I am not overperforming!
I have no desire to get a tattoo. but if i had a change of heart at the age of 51, I wouldn't give a damn what the Bible dictates
I am not on an overseas scholarship.
I don't -- never did -- write or speak well and it gets bloody worse every bloody year
I am not an actress
I am not boyish-cute and pretty
When I hit 30, there is abs no way i am going to look like a 22 year old. i mean, look at me now!
I told the SMU interviewers of my interest in derivations and then promptly and brightly proclaimed that I'd forgotten ALL of them. which was the horrible truth
I have a peculiar sense of humour, even i think so
^I don't own a single Apple product. I am amazed the boxes and Macs in the office don't punish me by collapsing on me when i go near them. I am secretly afraid that the brochures are conspiring to come together to whirl me away to Apple Neverland รก la the Sylphs in The Spiderwick Chronicles

I can't recall how to use modals
I overuse 'thing'
I have never been 19

Everyone I'm met at the new workplace is a Very Interesting Person (Maybe I am just dull)! I can learn a lot from them. I just need the conversation to start and move beyond canned drinks, $1.50 snacks, and ticket stubs.

I am currently very much enamoured with JB. i wish i could include a representation of her somewhere, but to do that i'd need to first get past the tricky bit of explaining what I was doing Googling her name. Until it becomes socially acceptable to openly Google all your colleagues, I will not admit to it! Or I could fib and say I followed a link from facebook, i hope there's a link from over there. I just need to open a facebook account first. Alternatively, she or someone who knows us both could just stumble on this and let me know! JB is, like, the entire package: musical, writes well, pretty, and... geeky! just short of athletic to pwning everyone else. Awesome! She's my role model for the month of July and August. Yay!

Not so yay-worthy news: I cleaned out my reserves on Tues. Bless me

Edited to include this ^ at the end of the list on work related things [The Thing is here again!] that bother me

Bummer

Someone stab me please. I turned down a chance to be suspended in midair (for half an hour) with Sodagreen in person. for work

I am such a hardworking bumblebee lah -dee -dah

If no one turns up again on Thurs, I swear I am going to stop speaking to You-know-who in civilised tones for 2 weeks


And yesterday, I saw a 51-year-old flash her middle finger no less than 3 times (granted it was at the same, um, target). I hope I am as feisty when I'm half her age
