You do know that…

…Evildeb only reads my blog when I tell her I wrote about her. Which I only do about a third of the time. And when she reads it, she usually comments. Because she is unable to let me have the last word in anything. If she could, she would temporarily take over my blog just for the purpose of proving that. By commenting, she is trying to leave her mark, one that says “you cannot have something that I cannot have! I won’t let that happen!” She’s so cute, she doesn’t even like blogs. Although, if she took the time to write one herself it would be entertaining, but I think she is more comfortable responding and reacting. I told her about the post from a couple of days ago, because I was unsure if I was a saint, in general, for sharing my wit and humor with my co-workers. Or if I was a saint for putting up with her. Probably the later.

This is how every argument with Evildeb goes, and keep in mind an argument can spring up from the most innocuous of comments, we argue constantly. Example:

Solution 1 in that document is wrong.

No, YOU’RE wrong.

I’m not wrong, the solution is wrong. YOU are wrong!

Your FACE is wrong!

“Your face is…” fill in the blank is the end of all arguments. Unless you want to pull out the extra ammo of “Well, your mother’s face is…” fill in the blank. But you gotta be careful with that one, because it’s only going to escalate from there. It might lead to pinching.

What’s simpler than a potato?*

Sometimes I hate telling super active people my plans for the weekend. Because then they get all sad. The pause and say, “um.. yeah… I have no life either.” What? I never said I had no life, I simply said that I have a lot of books I want to read, a web project I want to work on, and the first two discs of season 4 of Oz from Netlfix to watch. I work with people all week long. I look forward to Jodi time. It just so happens I did not have any plans with other humans, this weekend. By choice! No life, indeed.

I just did not happen to mention the most exciting part of my weekend. I discovered that I could apply for a Seattle Public Library card, even though I do not technically live within city limits. Because I work in Seattle. I did not know that. Louise knew it, but did not tell me, because she wanted to hold her dual library card ownership over my head, belonging to both the Seattle Public Library and the King County Library. [I belong to the KCL] Well, no more… because I figured it out. Ha-HA!! Surely, if everyone knew about that part of my weekend, they would not feel unduly sorry for me. TWO LIBRARY CARDS!!! Just wait until Louise gets back from Scotland. I’ll flash that SPL card in her face.

Shut up! I did too have a delightful weekend! I like books and the library. And I definitely like season four of Oz. Although, I was a little depressed by the time I finished “Hey Nostrodamus” by Douglas Coupland. But a copious amount of web surfing and random blog reading rectified that.

*Today’s subject title is dedicated to Fee, who is watching season 4 right along with me. It’s an O’Reily quote! About a potato!
