Harry just came in here and said, "some of these are dirty. Marji printed them out at work," and I immediately saw that they were emails that I-don't-know-who sent her. And I pushed them back and said, "I don't wanna. I bet that's workplace humor, and they're tacked up to the corkboard, so everyone can see and go 'hahaha' in the middle of the workday." And he took them back and left. Mind you, I'm not anti-dirty jokes, but you know the kind of crappy jokes people love to pass 'round the office, right? They're basically just stupid, cheap "hunor," y'know? I've seen them before. So he went back to the kitchen growling about, "they're just jokes. No wonder you'll never fit in at work" and blah blah and how I have no sense of humor, because "they're just jokes." And something about that really hurt my feelings, so now I'm sitting here crying. I should have just taken the (almost certainly) retarded things and read them and grimaced, since that's what's expected of me.
My whole issue is that, just because something is a joke doesn't make it automatically funny. By the same token, not all comedies are funny. Not everything is good, because it has been made and is out there for people to see. I never liked it, when I found someone who thouht every movie/song/show was a good movie/song/show. I always thought knowing the difference between bad and good made a person smarter and made good things better by comparison.
Maybe they're the awesomest dirty workjokes ever (if such a thing exists), and I have too big of a stick up my ass to investigate, though, right? :P

Hello. I am sick. I have a run-of-the-mill cold, and it started Thursday night, but I thinks it's starting to recede. Thank you 19 hours of sleep; I bet you were helpful!
I love my Nintendog as if he were a real doggie. He has helped me win some money, which I used to refurnish my house, and I will later use more to get him a new doggie friend. Most likely a huskey.
I just coughed so much that my entire body went into spasms. Crud.
I need to buy a nice suit one of these days. I can find a lot of nice suits, but I cannot find any that fit. Either I'm a little bigger, or tailored-fit things are a little smaller. I think it's some of both.
Tonight I was thinking of how I need to help my uncle get out and get some exercise. He's had diabetes for fifteen or so years now. His weight is going up, and his doctor gets mad at him for that, and he's always taking me to restaurants, and it always makes me feel bad. Tonight I told him not to drop dead, and he said he wouldn't, which I appreciate. So anyway, I would like for him to get some exercise, and I could more effectively nag him into it, if I participate as well. I said that we should take Dewey out for walks more often. That's something I'd like to do anyway, since it's Dewey's favorite thing. But there's always some kind of excuse: it's too hot, it's too cold, it's too dark out, there are too many ticks, there are too many mosquitos, etc. I'll have to nag harder. No, first I must actually start nagging, then I will nag harder. I don't much care if I get exercise, but I care that he does, so that'll have to be my motivator.
Right, so I started school on the second of this month, and so far so good. Since I don't feel like doing some work, I will share my fabulous schedule with you all.
Monday 6:30-9:00 - Cost Accounting - I haven't been to this class at all. The first meeting is tomorrow.
Wednesday 9:25-10:40 - Principles of Finance - So far, I gather that this class will be a lot of work, but I also think it'll be really useful in understanding financial accounting. And I'll learn a lot from it, because I know very little about finance. And for some "small world we live in"-stylve flava, guess what! It turns out that the professor is Leah's dad! Okay, so I've never met Leah. I'm fairly certain we've been at some of the same concerts, but I never "met" her. I got an idea of who she was from her postings on fruhead.com. But how did I find this out? Based on a few things he said, I started to wonder. My curiosity got the best of me, so I asked him, and the truth blew my mind. {g} 10:50-12:05 - Intermediate Accounting I - This should be a good class. The professor is the same one I had last spring, and he knows me and we get along. Then I have a break, which I fill up by doing some work. Work study work, not homework. 1:45-3:00 Organization Behavior. So far I'm not crazy over the class. Maybe because it's all about management, which I have no interest in. It doesn't seem especially difficult, and the teacher seems helpful, so maybe I'll like it. Then I go and do some more work. I wish I had more time each week to get work done. I like doing my fair share in the office, and everyone is really nice. I got a lot done over the summer, so it's a shame that I won't get to be as helpful in the fall. 4:45-7:15 Spanish I - Hrm, having taken five years of Spanish, I don't think this should be so hard, but after spending so much time in school all day, and then having to attend a super long class makes me tired and disinterested. I think that might have been a major trigger in my catching a cold. I was wondering if I was making the right decision to minor in Spanish, but I guess it doesn't matter, because it's too late to drop now. I just hope future Wednesdays are less exhausting than this past Wednesday.
Friday Friday is the same as Wednesday, minus the Spanish class.
Eck, I feel all clammy. Doing any kind of minor thing, while I have a cold tires me out, and then I sweat a little, and then I get clammy. Bleh.
I'm sure there's more I wanted to say, but I don't know what that would be. This entire year, I've been having recurring dreams where I'm doing improv with The State. Last night, I had one such dream, and then somehow Mr. Show got mixed in there. That was about a million times more exciting than the dream I had this week where I was eating by myself in a Friendly's and the service was really bad. {g}
Let me also reiterate that I love Netflix and everyone should be Netflix friends with me and Nathan.

Hey, Kids in the Hall people! Please answer my question!
So I'm looking at Amazon, and it says that the release date for season three is October 25th. But then I look at the page for the set of seasons one, two, and three all together, and for that, it says the release date was August 22. So is that to say that I can get season three a month early, if I buy the three-pack or is it some kind of freaky mistake/lie?
Y'see, I don't own any of them, but the three-pack is comparatively very cheap at $84. I also have a $25 gift certificate from when I bought my mp3 player. The gift certificate expires at the end of this month, so I need to think of a way to spend it. Rather than maybe just buying one season, I might go ahead and get the three season set. Hmm, or maybe I should just wait for them to finish releasing the series, and then I could maybe buy that all at once at a cheap price...
I have other things to say. Maybe I will say them all soon. Maybe.
