NOTE: Current battles are in the previous post.
Some various blurbs in the update of my life:
Today was an odd, but interesting day at work--one of my co-workers (and friend) purchased online a strange, tasteless object...several hundred of them. It was a bag of communion wafers. Just before 9, most of us were laughing it up, passing them around, making little peanut butter sandwiches with them. And here's where this LJ post title came from--because let's face it...if a communion wafer is supposed to represent the body of Christ, then he really, really needs some seasoning. It's right up there with matzoh on the bland-o-meter. Now, let me make one thing abundantly clear--the office that April and I work at is pretty big, and there's a fine line that splits the office--on April's side, we have the fun, joking, loud, happy, enjoyable side of the office. On my side, it is quiet, monotonous, all serious and hardly any fun. I know work is work, but sometimes the monotony and quietness gets so annoying--and this is why I usually wear my headphones and listen to music from start to end. I also have a supervisor which, while quite nice, is a stickler for rules and policies, and is an extremely devout Catholic.
While there's nothing wrong with being devout to a faith, she seems the type of person who is easily offended when someone pokes fun at religion--not to her directly, for that's just rude--but about any facet of Catholicism. Someone makes a joke in the office--doesn't even have to be to her directly--she takes offence. She has a closed mind about it, so it'd seem. I know plenty of devout Catholics, Christians, whatever, who, while they practice and worship their various deities, can also make and take jokes and humor about said religion. Regardless, news of this silly passing out of wafers and peanut butter made it to her (with some help by me and by the other side of the office laughing and having a good laugh about it) and she took such offense to it that it'd appeared that she was going to attempt to report said co-worker to the boss of the office. Alas, the head of the office wasn't in today.
So that was the start of today. Much more humor and giggles were had throughout the day.
In other news, overtime continues at work--at this rate, it looks to end tomorrow; that is, unless no one shows up to work due to the fact that we're looking to get 15-30 inches of snow between now and tomorrow night, in which case it ended tonight. Nothing like a historic snowstorm on Valentine's Day (what miracles did Saint Valentine perform anyway? Some clarification, please--if this is supposed to be a day of noted love, was one of his miracles a way to perfect the art of cunnilingus?) to freeze your nuts off--and for the females, have nipples jutting out so far that they can cut glass.
For April and I though, it's just "Universal Chocolate Day," a sweet confectionery that we eat much of anyway. Still, she's making me yummy food tomorrow, and I will return the favor shortly after (most likely around payday). Besides, having this day on a Wednesday just sucks anyway.
In some more other news, we're now deeper into debt as we've now got ourselves a new (used) car--a 2002 Toyota Avalon, which will be the car I end up driving when I learn how to drive (also coming soon to a highway near you). The ancient Babylonian relic known as the French Family Heirloom (the Dodge Spirit) now passes on to April's brother, Ryan, for he is learning how to drive and will be putzing around in a vehicle that's been very much LOVED IN. Makes me wish that my first car will be a freebie.
Last week, purchased tickets to see Blue Collar comedian Bill Engvall, who's coming to Proctor's Theatre right here in Schenectady--April 28th. Nick, I bought yours already. Do you ever get my messages? That'll make 2 shows I see in April--Rent and Bill Engvall. Not bad. I love this theater.
Downloaded the original NES Legend of Zelda onto the Wii--now I remember why I never beat it 15 years ago--so fucking hard, and so easy to get lost because no one gives you a frippin' clue on how to get anywhere in the game--not to mention the Overworld is gigantic and you have no map to help you. Still, it's fun. Also, a new Wii Channel--the Everyone Votes Channel. It's a silly little thing...Nintendo puts polls up, you vote, and you can also predict how everyone else will vote. Don't know if there are rewards for predicting correctly (like in my CONTESTS)--some free Wii points would be nice.
The Vigliotti line of accidents continue. More on that in a later post. Details so far are uncertain.
Soon I shall be taking up a project which may last a few months--appraising my 6000+ baseball card collection. I ordered Beckett's monstrous baseball card price guide which is on its way from Amazon. Last time I did it was 5 or 6 years ago, it's due for an update.
And my copy of Chrono Trigger seems to have gone missing.
All righty, time to hope for enough snow so that I can't go to work tomorrow. If so, I'll be playing in the snow and taking wintry pics. For now, sleep.
Nighty night, all.
