tonight's breath sensation = cancun salad = one of those salads in the edible fried tortilla bowl = yipeekiyay!

so, i spent about a day & a half working on flowing a word document into indesign. this would take most people probably about a week or so, and someone with as little experience as i have, well who really knows. i will just say that having figured this out, i was feeling somewhat more of a genius than usual. i sent the document around the dept for feedback, and my boss, who was well aware of the amount of work involved, and the speed with which i accomplished it, said - you could add some running heads. uh... what?? how about a simple thanks for your hard work or even it's a good start -- but, you could add some running heads?? criminy.

i am so over "criminy". need a new word. thesaurus does not recognize criminy or cripes. darn suggests blast as a synomym, but that's not quite the same thing as criminy. criminy's like... disgusted, frustrated. blast is more like angry. perhaps zoinks will do or begorra or jiminy. i shall try them in convos.

from the world of odometers, i bring thee 214412 and 36963, both of which have since changed, but live in my garage. 214412 is attached to a jeep w/ a tailgate that opens upwards. being up there in the 214412 range, ol' jeepster has its flaws. one of these is that the upwards opening hatch doesn't like to stay open. it's tired. it wants to sit down. this is especially true in the cold weather. so, if you are alone with the vehicle and have been at the grocery and are loading groceries into the cargo hold, your choices are: [1] bring the cart really close in, and hold the hatch up by standing under it and letting it rest on your head, reaching back to bring the groceries into the vehicle, or -b- opening the hatch, putting a bag in, letting it close while reaching for another bag, opening it again, rinse, repeat. the major problem with the first method is that you cannot really reach the groceries while holding the hatch up with your head. the main problem with the second method is that it is quite difficult to get in & out before the door closes. and, it is most likely to close, you know, on your back. i generally opt for #1, but sometimes settle for #2.

heh heh. #1. #2. heh.
