I don’t know that I like anything as much as O likes black beans.

Learning to Talk to Project Managers

  • Coworker: I know you said you wanted to talk with some other people about the situation, because it will cost a lot of time and money if we have to throw this away, but we're on a really tight schedule. Is there any way you can let me know now?
  • Me: Well, if I have to make a decision now, I'm going to tell you to throw it away, but if you give me a little time, maybe we can come up with a way to save it.
  • CW: Ok...Why don't you talk to them and then let me know.
  • Me: That sounds good.

I’ve had the Gummi Bears theme song in my head for quite a while now.

I wish I had someone I could blame for that…

Good news: My boss approved my vacation request.
Bad news: That’s about half of my time off for the entire year.

Yeah, first world problems, I know.

Truthful Tuesday: The cartoon dad I’d always wanted to be like vs the cartoon dad I probably am/will be like. (For the record that is Dad from “Calvin and Hobbes” and Hugh Neutron from “Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius”.)

I’m not sure how many times I saw the trailer for The Vow and thought Josh Hartnett had gained a bunch of weight before realizing that it was Channing Tatum, but it was quite a few.

In my defense, I was usually too focused on mocking the plot.

Talking about the Family Feud app

  • M: I keep trying to finish the Fast Money round you started, but I keep getting zeroes, so I quit and start over.
  • C: I didn't do much better. I couldn't come up with decent answers for some of them.
  • M: Yeah, like "Name something women would miss about men if they were no longer around." I guessed penis and companionship, but they weren't there. I don't know what else to try.
  • C: Opening jars, maybe? I don't know. Why do you keep us around?

A coworker brought some cookies she had baked to work. When I first saw the pale blond-colored round cookies covered in cinnamon sugar, my first thought was that she had brought in biscochitos. Then I remembered that I no longer live in New Mexico and probably don’t work with anyone who has had biscochitos, much less would have a recipe for them. (And let’s be honest, they’d all freak out at a cookie recipe calling for lard.) I realized that it was far more likely that these were snickerdoodles, and that I will now continue wanting a specific cookie that I’m simply not going to get.

I still ate a cookie though, because, are you kidding, free snickerdoodle.

In the past week, Olivia has sent a text, written a tweet (and saved it as a draft) and started an episode of Sesame Street for herself on the TiVo. She also runs to the Kinect any time the Xbox comes on and waves at the camera to try to get the game Once Upon a Monster to start for her. I’m not sure if I should be impressed, embarrassed of my parenting or just very worried about what this means for my future control of remotes and my phone.

(For the moment, I’m assuming these were all unintentional, but I’m not ruling out the possibility that she’s some sort of evil genius.)
