company youngin'

a notice went out regarding work's christmas party. with the details was a page asking for you to list yourself and your guests, with one of the column headings being "age (14-25 only)". since i'm of the ripe old age of 24, i asked..

me: is it really necessary to put my age down..?
party co-ordinator: *laughs* it's for the kids that are attending.
me: well that's a little disturbing..
another co-worker: *sarcasm* silly reena, you shouldn't be concerned with children older than you being at the party!

the other co-worker TOTALLY got the disturbed look on my face since she's only a few years older than me. i guess it really hit me at that point that i was the youngest out of all the office people. at least the co-op student in qa doesn't make me feel so young!

i got carded at winners!

the other day i went into winners to buy a pair of mitts since my old ones now have a big hole in one of them. so i paid for my $12 mitts with my credit card even though i had enough cash on me to pay for it. (i'd rather save my cash for tim horton trips.) anyway, right before i signed for my purchase the girl asked me for id. that's right, she asked me for id on a $12 purchase. i'm a little disturbed by the fact the first i'm asked for id on a credit card purchase, it was for a ridiculously meaningless purchase. i suppose all in the name of security!

catching some zzz's

while driving home today there was a short bout of traffic near an intersection. a van was sitting in the middle lane with the brakes engaged. the traffic light was green, so the cars in front of the van were long gone. the cars behind the van were struggling to get into other lanes to get around it. i ended up stopping right beside the van and looked in. it always bugs me when someone is stopped on the road and fails to put on their 4-way flashers and open their hood. anyway, the man in van had his chin on his chest and his eyes closed which had me worried for a moment. then some guy on the sidewalk walks in front of my car and knocks on the van window. the driver opens his eyes looks at him, sidewalk guy points to the road, the guy freaks out and drives off. the man was sleeping at the traffic light!! i couldn't believe it. i didn't see him up ahead when i crossed the traffic light, so i can only hope he pulled into the gas station or the grocery store and bought some water or got some fresh air.

smelly bathrooms, nerdy boys

one of my co-worker's boyfriend is moving into her apartment. the other night when she got home from work she was greeted by a strange guy sitting on her mattress. her boyfriend had invited his friend over to help move around the bedroom furniture during the day. after introductions, his comment to my co-worker: "your bathroom smells nice. it smells like girl."

...

hehehehe *snort* you really can't get any more nerdy than that.

i'm in love
