Argh. August 11, 2006 zuzu For some damn reason, I can never, ever type “subpoena” correctly — or quickly. So what do I get to do? Type “subpoena” a lot today. What’s the hair crost *your* ass today?
Only two cans of Mountain Dew left, and it’s too hot/humid to go after more. Lady I talked to when we toured the apartment said they don’t enforce their cats-must-be-declawed rule; guy I talked to when we picked up keys said they do. Equals potential serious changes in plans, as we will not get Piper declawed. I want to see Pirates of the Caribbean again, and the parents aren’t letting me have the car because of gas prices. $3 round-trip to the nearest theatre.
I fell down twice today and spilled Fritos on somebody else’s desk. I’m a klutz. A big fucking klutz.
I came into work today and got ambushed by my techno-deficient boss, who YET AGAIN believed one of those phishing e-mails that gets set around (this one from “paypal”). I’ve explained to him over and over about the scam but he still thinks that they really, really need our confidential information NOW (even though we don’t have a paypal account in the first place) and if they don’t have it then I must not be doing my job. I have snuck into his office after he leaves and upped the spam filters, but to no avail–those darn e-mails just sense he’s a believer and target him. Luckily for me and our financial security of our little non-profit he’s a delegator and would much rather forward said e-mails to me than handle them himself. Thank goodness for small favors. ARG.
You have to train yourself to say “Sub Poe Ena” when you see it. But don’t say it outloud, heh. Just like I have to say to myself “bus-i-ness” or I forget the “i”.
I’ll 2nd Bryan–It’s pretty amazingly hot in Phoenix, too. But the thing that’s really burning my ass today is… an ingrown toenail. My partner always suffers from them but it’s my first time. It’s fucking horrible.

I always trip over typing words that end in ion so that I spell ino instead. Fashino, conjunctino, etc. It’s fucking annoying. I’m a good typist, but those two letters make me crazy every time. On the other hand, for some strange reason I enjoy typing the word “people.”
Judgment. I continuously misspell the damn word ‘judgment’. For some reason, I still want to put an extra ‘e’ in there and spell it ‘judgement’. Don’t ask me why but my fingers just seem to have a mind of their own when spelling that word. I once sent a pleading with that word misspelled to the state Court of Appeals. The judge who received it routinely criticizes lawyers for poor grammar and spelling. I was mortified but thankfully she never said anything. Whew!
Actually, kelley, judgement is an accepted spelling of the word also. So let your fingers do their own thing next time you need to spell it 🙂
