 +Thursday, March 30, 2006 - 4:35 PM I'm beginning to notice that people often don't really answer questions. With many questions that ask for a yes or no answer, people give explanations instead of a yes or no.Q: Are you going in to work today? A: I have a few phone calls to make. Wouldn't a yes suffice? Why do we feel a need to answer a question with an explanation that no one asked for? It's like you're defending yourself for your reasoning for going into work. Does the asker really care what you're going to do at work? Did he ask why you're going in to work? I'm really going to start paying attention to how I answer questions. Shawn is going to be thrilled. Something else I'm going to be nit-picky about. As if correcting his spelling and grammar in instant messages wasn't enough. +Monday, March 27, 2006 - 7:18 PM Had a lot of downtime on the site lately. Hopefully the issues are finally resolved. It kind of sucked trying to edit files and then watching them disappear.I somehow got sucked into this huge trial. I think it started when I said, I'll do what I can to help. And help meant running the trial presentation. Oh and getting the file ready to go to trial. It took an army of two legal assistants, one nurse legal assistant and one associate to organize the file. Sharon and I threw out so much unnecessary crap. It was unbelievable. And then this morning, opposing counsel tried to continue the case. Oh hell no. Not after what all we went through getting the file prepared in two days. That and this case is fascinating. I really want to see this go through. +Thursday, March 23, 2006 - 7:59 PM Another episode of fun with depositions!!This whole deposition is like this (I feel sooo bad for the attorneys taking this), but this was the most random answer I've found yet. Q: So all of your answers with regard to what you observed during [name edited]'s stay in the hospital, that's just you speaking as a layperson. Is that correct? A: Right. I didn't allow [name edited] to iron and one of my big pleasures was ironing her white shirt with French-rolled sleeve. That means no seam here. We learned that in high school. WE were graded on our -- on our uniform blouses and she just -- I just loved putting her in a white shirt. And I didn't allow her to cook. O_O And people wonder why attorneys are alcoholics. Labels: depos +- 3:02 PM Well. I've been in my cube for only two hours and I don't like it. Once you go office, you just can't go back.+Monday, March 20, 2006 - 11:12 PM Check out the time stamp below. Notice the p.m.? I'm STILL at work. I agreed to help with a project that seemed like it would be quick. And six hours later I'm still here. Think I'd get in trouble for coming in late tomorrow? Well, union break over. Back to the grind.+Friday, March 17, 2006 - 8:19 AM I think I'm a little depressed. I didn't really realize it until I was on the phone with my sister and she said I sounded distracted. It didn't make any sense why I would, because I was doing nothing else. I was alone, in my room, talking to her. I mentioned that I had been tired a lot lately. I'd go to bed at 9 or 9:30 and then have a hard time getting up in the morning even though I slept well through the night. She asked if it might be from de-toxing the caffeine in my body, but that was well over two weeks ago, and I've never been a must-have-coffee-everday person. Thinking harder, I began to realize that I haven't done much of anything in the past couple of weeks. I come home from work, I collapse on the couch and avoid cooking dinner. I think I had a meal of Girl Scout cookies one night. A friend invited me to go to the St. Patty's parade last weekend with her and I declined just because I didn't want to be around people. I haven't visited my cel forum or even talked to anyone with AMN. I don't remember the last time I went over to Dave's for anime night.The past few months at work have been rather drama-filled, and the sequence of events has been strikingly similar to things that happened at my last job. I've done my best to be positive for awhile, but as things have been unravelling it's been hard to remain positive. For awhile I was angry and now, well... I feel so out of control, which is the worse thing a control-freak like me can feel. And that probably explains my depression. No, I'm not clinically depressed or anything. I think that I just wanted to wallow in my self-pity for a bit and now that I realize that I was doing such a pathetic thing, it's time to take charge. +Thursday, March 16, 2006 - 2:09 PM I'm not a journalist, was never a journalism major, so I don't understand something I've seen lately with all the news about the upcoming Playstation 3: what's up with all the speculation? Why are people wasting their time writing articles about POSSIBILITIES for the PS3? Is it so hard to just relax and wait for Sony to officially announce something?So far, the only official news I've seen is the release date (November, 2006) and the cost (50,000 yen/$425). I've seen pictures of it, with those ugly boomerang controllers, but no one has been allowed to handle it yet, and Sony keeps saying that it isn't the finished product. So why all the other talk about the backwards compatibility, the high-def compatibility, or the possible hard drive that may or may not ship with the console when Sony hasn't released one definite thing about them? Seems like a lot of wasted effort to me. I thought journalism was about reporting the facts, not speculating what could be. Of course, I'm not one of the frothing-at-the-mouth gamers. I still have plenty of games to go through on my PS2 before I think about the next generation. +Tuesday, March 14, 2006 - 2:39 PM Belle and Sebastian is the coolest name for a band that I've ever heard. Brings back childhood memories of one of the best drama cartoons. (Belle and Sebastian, duh.) I may have to look into their albums just for the creativity of the name.+Wednesday, March 08, 2006 - 10:24 AM No, my life isn't like this, but I've seen it happen and I've had days with similarities.http://opinionistas.com/2006/02/07/a-new-perspective/ +Monday, March 06, 2006 - 3:22 PM Oh yeah, should also mention that for Lent, I've given up buying cels.
