no pie for fee!!

arifa [aka. fee] did not like my theorem. or lance’s theorem to be precise. because it did not make sense to her, there were no events. but there weren’t supposed to be any!! it’s a joke!! it says “no pie?” i have a t-shirt with a photo of a kitten that says “no pie?” which i find hysterical. and lance was so proud of it! i actually shrieked when i figured it out, i enjoyed it that much.
anyway, fee says she can’t like it, because it’s not logical, and she is like spock. all about logic. however, i ask you, how can she be a vulcan, if she freaks out whenever she’s a bug? that’s not vulcanish. they don’t go for that silly emotional outburst stuff. so i reject her statement that she is like spock, based on those observations. i’ll be hard to convince otherwise.
today, a women came into the bathroom while i was there. she scrubbed her hands vigorously, as if she was a surgeon. she dried them on three separate paper towels and THEN she went to the bathroom. i don’t know what she was planning to touch in there… or what she had been touching… but it must be pretty cootie infested. i didn’t stick around to see the post potty ritual.
it’s been a while since we’ve seen extreme cuteness on this blog. here’s a picture of maggie with pigtails. it makes her look like cindy lou who. i also shrieked when i first saw her with them. as always, click the photo for a larger image.

tipping… it’s not just for cows.

well, hello. it’s friday. and not unlike any other friday, i am in no mood to work. however, i don’t exactly know what i am in the mood to do instead. so i guess i’ll just attempt the work thing.
yesterday, i saw a couple of previews for some training on the work philosophy based on the world famous pike place fish market here in seattle. it’s pretty cool. i think it’s the only kind of work philosophy or motivation type crap that has ever really made any sense to me. no corporate speak. these were just preview tapes, but it did talk about the four basic ummm… things. philosophies about work. that lead to their mission to be world famous.
– have fun
– be there
– make their day
– choose your attitude.
it sounds all super positive doesn’t it? but it is very interesting how they turned this market around from a business losing money, at which nobody really enjoyed working. to the World Famous Pike Place Fish Market, where everybody likes to work. and they are world famous. i never knew. i just thought of them as the guys that threw the fish and goofed off with people walking by. i took elle there last year when she was here. i’m pretty sure lisa and fee saw them when they went down to pike place.
ok… co-worker craig is talking about his health. time to put the headphones on.
oh, and i got my new library card in the mail. so things are moving at a pretty exciting pace for me right now.
