Gay retirees find neighborhood built just for them. Who knew there were so many homos in LA! Why can’t I find a good one!?
12 ways to pimp your office I love the desk!
Nerdy T-Shirts – Digg Me!
Did a 50 mile bike ride today, yesterday I did nothing. I’m sooo dead today. Ok. I’m out. Nothing important going on here. Just waiting for Ben to call me. Ugh.
The last couple weeks I’ve been really disgusted by corporate america. For any of you who don’t know the offices in SM are being condensed from 3 different buildings into 1 building. Reducing the size floor space from 50,000 square feet down to 30,000 square feet. Thus probably saving the company tons of money on rent. However….
The company has brought in outside contractors to do all the moving. You don’t have to pack anything except for your personal belongings, so all your files, etc. Just leave them and they will get packed and moved for you. Your computer equptiment, everything. This can’t be cheap! They have had 4 full time people on staff for at least the last month managing this move. I was here till 7:30 last night and all 4 of them were just sitting around laughing thier asses off. You know charging overtime. I highly doubt it takes 4 people to manage this sort of thing.
Next, instead of reusing all the cubicles, furniture, bookshelves, etc. They are getting ALL NEW stuff. Now, I know that cubicles are NOT cheap, the chairs they got everyone run about $400 each, all new phones, all new bookshelves. All new everything. Even new pencil holders. And honestly I think the the new cubes are a huge downgrade. The ones we have now are about 6′ tall, the new ones are half the square foot size and only about 4′ tall.
On the other hand, the people who do have offices are HUGE and very nice. Honstly half these people don’t even deserve the offices they get. Secondly, they cut 10,000 jobs and then the CEO gets a 36% raise? He already made $11 million.
Now, I worked with some of those people who were cut, and they deserved it. Others didn’t deserve it and should have been kept. And yet, some that were kept should have gone a long time ago.
It’s just disgusting, I have to get out of this!
So on my way into the office the other day I had a brilliant IDEA! Lets SUE all the SUV/Truck drivers for polluting the air! It’s for the KIDS I tell you! Who’s going to think about the kids!??!?!
Furniture from Airplanes! Some very cool stuff on that site! Really neat idea!
Ever wanted to merge PDFs? For a while now I’ve just been using PDFMergeX. Which has been very useful, but today I learned another GREAT built in MAC OSX feature… How to easily and quickly merge PDFs without an added application!
Launch Automator. Click on Finder > Get Selected Finder Items and add to the right. Add “Sort Finder Items” too. Click on PDF>Combine PDF Pages and click “Appending”. Then add “Open Finder Items”. Save it as a Plug-In called “Combine PDFs”.
After all that, select your PDFs with Contro-Click, then in your menu, you’ll see Automator>Combine PDFs. Click that and you’ll see your combined PDFs. Again, I doubt windows can do that!
Thursday night we went out and saw 300. Verrrrryyyy good. I’m going to have to start the 300 workout soon! lol.
That is all.
OMG. So have you seen the FULLY NUDE Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) pics? Well click HERE (NSFW!!!) to see them.
Holy shit, a boy can dream!
As I stated, Helpdesk work today. Which means I was up at 3am. In the office EARLY as hell and didn’t get out of there till 2 because of what I posted in the previous friends only posting (sorry non-friends!). So tonight I am just hangin gout at home chilling and trying to stay off the computer. (Clearly not working).
So much stuff was going on at the office today though. I had 4 people coming to me all day long asking for RIGHT THIS INSTANT changes to thier projects. I felt bad because one of the other projects that I was looking forward too got dumped on someone else. I was really looking forward to doing it too because it would have provided a great distraction for an hour or two.
Anyways the rest of the weekend should be really fun. Hanging out with ben and what not. I’m enjoying him. 🙂
Later.
Wow. I’ve sucked at updating the last week or so!
Let see, So V-Day was great. Went out to The Shore in Hermosa Beach with Ben. We had a great dinner and hung out there in Hermosa and chilled. So that was really nice.
Thursday I went into work late and came home late. So nothing exciting there. Friday I worked in the NB office and apparently we have Monday off. Who knew!? If I had known that I would have gone somewhere this weekend!
Friday, Robert, Eric, Ben and I went out to WeHo. Fiesta Cantina, The Abbey, Here and then the Pizza Place. Here’s closing act is AMAZING. OMG. Next week I’ll try and go and get pics.
Ran into fucking Dustin at Fiesta… Do you all remember DUSTIN? How random! Then of course ran into Mayko at the fucking pizza place. I ignored them both.
The Abbey was great though. We were hanging out in the front area and this random italian boy comes up to me and tells me I’m hot. I say thanks and then am just like. ‘Ok, go away now’. Cause it was really random. But he kept talking. Thankfully he strated hanging all over Robert. Then these two RANDOM people came up and started talking to us. Very interesting times.
The whole group (not the random boys) spent the night at my house. We got up saturday morning and I made them all breakfast. Bisquits and Eggs. Very yummy if you ask me. 🙂 After that Eric and Robert left. Ben and I headed to Downtown LA to The Dock Downtown. The website keeps saying it’s got SO much off on prices, etc. But everything is still $600+. So I was kinda let down. I found a bed frame/mirror that I fell in LOVE with. If/When I decided that I want to spend $1,000+ on decorating one room. I’ll be going to the Dock Downtown. But as for anything else. I’ll stick to the dumpster and craigslist!
After that we headed back to my area. Stopped at South Bay Galleria and accidentially went shopping at Abercrombie Kids. We were wondering why the dress shirts were only $50 compared to the normal $80. I’d still totally buy a Large at the kids store and wear it! Hell to save $30! lol. From there back to my house where I made us lunch and then we headed to the beach for a couple hours. Gotta love going to the beach in Feb! 😀
I think we now have a great group of campers! So there’s talk of going down south to camp in a couple weeks! I’m very excited and hope that it comes through!
Sunday was SUCH a wasted day. I was going to get up at 6 and go biking. But when the alarm went off at 6 I felt really sick and didn’t want to get up. So I went back to sleep. I didn’t wake up till 9:30ish, got out of bed and spent the day on the couch sleeping. I got up for good at 3pm and watched TV, wondered around the house and basically did nothing.
Today I also did the same thing. I was going to get up at 5am and start working on stuff, but I didn’t actually get up till 8! UGH! what’s wrong with me.
Anyways, I have to get some work done. I’m out!
