Now i know i just posted not too long ago, but that was before THIS happened to me and my coworker, Lorne.
Lorne and I decided to make a nice little trip to Jimmy Johns for lunch. We had a nice chat the whole way there and a lovely time waiting in line to order the number 1..."The Pepe." After I had my sandwich (Lorne didn't get one, she went next door for coffee instead) we made our way back to SPS Commerce. While passing through the Thrivent Building, Lorne and I were called to from behind, "Ladies? Do you know what time it is?" Having no wrist watch between the two of us, I grabbed my cell phone out of my pocket to tell this woman the time.
"It's 12:49" i said.
"What, are we making a phone call today?" the lady said as she got real close to my face.
"Oh, heh, No. I was just..."
"Don't laugh at me. I'm very busy today and I just worked out. i have to go volunteer at the church and I will not be laughed at by you two. i know exactly what you two look like and if i have to I'll call the police. Don't ever laugh at me again. or my family. We all live here. I Minnneapolis. I know what you look like...(her voice fades as Lorne and I briskly walk towards the Accenture Tower (SPS Commerce Locale)
Lorne looks at me with a look of utter confusion and astonishment, "What was....What just happened?"
Needless today, our simple walking through the skyway evoked some kind of demon in this woman and caused her to lash out at us for reasons unknown. Upon coming back to work, we shared our story with several people, all who asked us "was she carrying a lot of bags?" Of course, neither of us can remember such a minute detail...but it seems like this type of behavior happens a lot in the skyway, particularly in that area.
So there we have it. An example of the crazies that roam our very streets. Mothers, keep close your young ones...no one is safe. yeesh!

*Megan--minutes before leaving for a big meeting*
Harassment training?
Is it really that bad here?? I suppose they think we all need a reminder. Maybe they're right?
*Megan--sits down at her desk after big meeting*
Well, that was entertaining at least. The presenter was engaging and humorous...not a complete waste of an hour. I mean, I actually DID learn a few things...well...back to work.

Dear Mom and Dad,
I'm having fun at camp. The other kids are nice, but I don't like the girl with the red pig tails. She made fun of me at lunch today. We are not friends. Sometimes, in the afternoon, before they make us supper, I get hungry. Please send dried fruit. I have to go play tether ball now. I love you.

Sincerely,
Megan

Ok...today i am feeling silly. It's almost my last day up in customer support. the happy thing is....TOMORROW IS MY LAST DAY!!!!!!! i decided to make a collage of things i do and think about while sitting at my desk counting the hours until i'm done. I know, i know...i never i have much to say about my days...perhaps once softball starts up i'll have more to report. for now, i think people like looking at pictures. And i like taking ridiculous pictures, so this is what we get to see.
"well, that was good Coffee, but, why is it gone already? i wasn't ready for it to be gone already. Rats!"

"I wonder why this rasta head looks so upset. He is perhaps screaming at something that is scaring him? Maybe he Is yawling with a look of terror in his eyes. He might have just swallowed a bug. No one can be sure. I think that making the same face he is making will help me understand.....nope. I still don't get it."

"Oh little pig? Why are your eyes so big? I can make a face just like you can. I like imitating the animals and trinkits at my desk. Gives me something to do. and of course, no one is watching!"

"I wish i was really sleeping. Oh huh? what? who said my name??"

"Tee hee. No one even saw me make that cute little slide show. No one caught me wasting valuable work time taking pictures of myself. Ah..i am sneaky!"

I suppose that's all i have to say for right now. i'm going to go buy myself a Jimmy Johns sub! A number 1 please! mmmmmmm....have a good day my friends and family! xoxo

This is possibly the greatest snack on the face of the earth. I think there are probably more healthy options out there, but this is fruit and i love love love it. so...if you're ever feeling like you need to buy me a gift or some kind of treat....i'll take a bag of these. (or a chocolate extreme blizzard from DQ!) SOOOOOOOO...if you haven't tried...go out and do it. delish!

and in other news...i only have three more days left of this job. i couldn't be happier! I'm more than ready to get out of here. more than you all could possibly know. My new boss came up to see me today and tell me he's looking forward to the change. they have my cube all ready down there. I asked him if it was the best cube there and he said "no...it's the only open one!" i said "Troy! You're supposed to just say 'Yes, the best we have'" and he goes "well, every cube in our department is the best" i said that was a better answer and more what i was looking for! Anyway, i'm nervous because he's the only one down there that i know, and i can't go being buddy buddy with my new boss..my old one, Kim, will be extremely jealous! but, i plan to come visit her often! Anyway...big changes are scary...at least this one hasn't made me lost my appetite....*oink oink oink* I can't STOP eating. ugh....always one extreme to the next. whatever happened to normalcy? Does it exist?

well..here's to Aaron...my old roommate.
Aaron, You make me smile. Thanks for always being there for me...you're a good friend. Better than a good friend...a great friend, a non-blood related big brother. I couldn't ask for a better non-blood related Big brother!
Look how handsome we are! This was at Charlie's graduation party! We are classy.

Well, Good Afternoon. This is a picture of me yesterday. Tired and sleepy. Seems normal for one who works in customer support where the work is always riveting and challenging. Oh boy!

Then, there's today. I went and worked out last night and I feel pretty good. I took a bubble bath last night after eating some butterscotch pudding with Jenna and i used my new aroma therapy bubble bath! It is spearmint Eucalyptus. mmmmm was so relaxing. I then went to bed and slept like a baby! I think tonight I'm going to head to the gym again and lift....then go to the grocery store and pick up some suitable food and snacks for me. Since i feel i need to eat all the time, I might as well get myself something healthy and better for me to eat than chips and pudding. Not so very healthy, is it? Anyway...
this weekend my two girl cousins, Brie and Alex, came to visit me! We had a blast going out to eat and then bowling with Jenna and Kate. We stayed up until 1:30, which was entirely too late for little Alex, poor soul, and then got up in the morning to go shopping at the mall of america. I don't know what i was thinking going to the MOA on such a busy day, but being with my cousins doing something fun, together...was worth it. We don't get to see each other much, but when we do, it's always fun! it was good to have time just the tree of us, and i hope that we continue to do this for years to come. And perhaps when little Jensie gets old enough she can join us! It was nice to have Kate along for the day on Saturday too...i'm glad she was comfortable coming along, because i sure love being around her! And jenna....i'm soooooo glad she came bowling. She's amazing. Such an incredible friend. i'm so glad i have her!
It was a really good weekend. I guess it's going to rain pretty soon here. Sounds pretty lame if you ask me! I hope the rain gets out of the way so that this weekend, for mother's day...and for saturday when Jenna and I are repainting her garage that she's going to tear down...the weather is nice and sunny and warm. Well, my lunch is almost over. I walked to Jimmy Johns and got myself a number 1...The Pepe. Brice would know that one. it's my fav! I hope you all will forgive me and my lack of posting. I'm usually pretty lazy. What can I say...?
