Give Me Back My Five Bucks

I am in discussion with one of my co-workers about doing some contract work for him on the side. So today he sent me an e-mail to my work address that read nothing else but: “what time should I call you tonight?” Except that he didn’t just send it to me. I don’t really know how he did this, but he also accidentally CC’d every single person in his Outlook address book. We’re talking about hundreds and hundreds of colleagues, clients, family members (including his wife!), etc. Whoops! :)

BF is treating me to sushi tonight! :) I’m definitely looking forward to it. Because it’s so expensive, we rarely go out for sushi, and usually opt for something cheaper. We also rented Passchendaele. I’ve heard mixed reviews about it, but we both want to see it. Plus I used one of my Blockbuster free rental coupons.

He wants me to go out on Sunday with him and a few of his friends to … Continue reading →

Today is pay day! I updated my sidebars and my NetworthIQ. I’m an inherently impatient person, so I never feel like I’m doing anything fast enough – but on average, I’m growing my net worth about 3% per month.

It’s hard to control your spending when you haven’t really been paying attention to things for months and months. And even though I keep going … Continue reading →

Yesterday evening BF and I were supposed to go rock climbing, but he bailed. So instead I went for a run. When I got home, worked on my abs and then did a lot of stretching. I wanted to do some weights but my apartment is kind of ghetto and the weights are holding some things up. Oh well. I am so out of shape! But I felt good (a bit sore today) and I’m hoping to keep it up. We were supposed to start going to the gym together once per week, but that hasn’t happened yet. So perhaps … Continue reading →

I haven’t used Internet Explorer in years. I’m a Firefox gal. But today for some reason, about every 2-3 minutes or so I keep getting an error: “Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.” Why? I’m not even using IE. I’m not doing anything different than what I would normally be doing at work. So why all the error messages? WHY INTERNET EXPLORER, WHY!? I HATE YOU!!!
