What's your name?


I'm wicked sick.  Shivering and sweats all night.  What a freakin combo.  But I'm in work for now because duty calls. (and my boss is out tomorrow)

Which brings me to the point of this post.  I had plans to meet with a new employee this morning, which I just did.  Lovely Asian girl, but English is definitely not her first, second, or third language.  Anyway, I ask her how to pronounce her name (I really try not to butcher people's names) and she tells me her name is....

Eugene.

"Really, pronounce it again so I can get it right" I request.

EUGENE.

Does she know she has the name of  a nerdy boy?  I'm thinking no.

Ha! And I thought having a nickname like "Lightning" was bad. Who knew your real name was just as nerdy? LOL

Dogs Are Vermin

I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. Sugar Bear does. I especially don't like small dogs. I'm considering getting a dog, a chihuaha.  I must be out of my fucking mind.  The dog needs a home and it's free (I'm fucking cheap).  Sugar Bear doesn't know of this thank goodness. OMFG I should just say NO like Nancy Reagan, or as Waffles said, Barbara Bush.  :P Oh and there are a couple of new blogs on the blog roll over yonder. --->  Check out the newbies, Rob and Cranky.  Good shiat. Josie PS I should really just say no instead of ruining my life, right? PPS As luck would have it Sugar Bear has always wanted a chihuahua specifically.  :(  and a duck.

Upset

I got a lot of much needed sleep last night and woke up with intentions of writing a very funny story but plans have changed my friends. I just read Tony's Latest Post and I'm too worried or upset to write about anything so frivolous.  I think many of his readers just see him as an interesting story, and not a person.  I see the person, who I was trying so very hard to steer away from a train wreck, but it didn't work.  In fact, the part that scares me the most is maybe I, with my good intentions, pushed him further off the cliff.  Maybe I put too much pressure on him to avoid the machines - too much pressure about something he is unable to control.  I need to shut the fuck up and stop giving out unsolicited advice, which most likely will not happen.  I cannot express how badly I feel about this. I was only trying to help because sometimes when you're in the eye of the hurricane you don't have the entire picture, at least not a...
