Happy Birthday Kate!! :*

Dave King remarking on the Geek Squad...
Me: I can't even go in there and ask for Michael McDonald. They have no idea who that is. I have to ask for "Agent M."
Dave: Geez. It's like Dungeons and Dragons only he gets paid for it.
Me: Exactly.

So the internet hasn't been the only technology giving me a hard time lately. My cell phone battery sucks a nut too, and I'm planning on replacing it before I go to Ferris in three weeks. Let me give you an example of how crappy it is. I worked on Wednesday and Shruti called to leave me a voicemail. I listened to the voicemail, called back and left my own voicemail, and that was it. The whole process took about five minutes. It drained my entire battery. Seriously, this happens all the time now and I want to throw it against a wall. *sigh* This is just another thing to add to my long list of Reasons Why I Hate Verizon Wireless. Depending on how expensive batteries are I may just get a new phone if that's possible.

Let's see, it's been mega hot lately and holy crap. I hope that nonesense goes away.

Yesterday I got a tetanus and hep B shot for pharm school, and I still have to have some lab work done and another TB test at Sindecuse. This whole process should wipe out my next paycheck--awesome. I hate money anyway and always try to get rid of it as fast as possible. No that's a lie.

So yesterday was Kate's 21st birthday (EEE!!!!) , so the gang got together and went out to Logan's steakhouse to celebrate with her. It was a ton of fun and tonight we're going out again because some of her friends from home will be in town. She seemed like she had a really great time. It's becoming a pain for me to buy drinks though. Since turning 21 in July I think there have been four or five times that I've wanted to have a tasty mixed drink with my meal, and at least three of those times I've had trouble proving I'm actually 21. I have a Michigain State ID (as opposed to a driver's license) which is vertical and expires in July of '07. In red letters at the top it says that I'm under 21 until 07/05/06. So the thing is legit as long as you read it. But of course servers don't want to take the time to do that. One even brought over her manager and told him my ID was expired and I wasn't 21. Uggggh. If it's going to be this much trouble I might as well just have a coke with my meal. It's cheaper and usually tastes better.

I haven't even started packing like I was planning to this weekend. I'm such a slacker. I'm really going to have my work cut out for me when the time comes, but I figure next weekend will be a great opportunity. Mike is going up north to his family's cabin on Thursday night and he won't be back until Tuesday, so I'll definitely get a lot done that weekend.

I have less than two weeks of work left. Less than three weeks until I'm gone. Geez.

just a hit, if you can't just get a new cell order the batter online... they are a whole lot cheaper when you buy them from someone other that verizon and they work just as well

see? i'm tellin' ya! just speaking of me..woa woa..just THINKING of me is energy draining..hence the constant replenishment of STP required. *ahem* wonder what's going to happen to your battery at ferris! maybe it'll EXPLODE!!!! *gasps*

that would be neat to watch..except i would want it far away from you then. no no, i'm not THAT evil..i would NEVER wish death upon you..especially not 'death by cell phone.'

:D
