And through a fractal on that breaking wall; I see you my friend and touch your face again

Love that song. I don't even mind that Alanis has redone it. I enjoy her version too. Tell me you like that song (if you know what it is).

I have to say that I'm very satisfied with my ergonomic mouse. It's so comfortable to use and I don't get the bruising to my wrist bone that I'm susceptible to. When I went to one of the more popular supply stores, the salesperson questioned me on my choice after he told me they didn't carry the type I was looking for. He said most people didn't like that kind. Well, I took that opportunity to school him on why it was beneficial to me. Plus, I'm not like most people. If he knew that, he would have understood.

I think everyone should have someone in their life that makes them feel happy and glowing. I think the best thing in the world is when someone is exciting to you and you see them and you get a happy sensation. Don't you think?

Last week was quite taxing at work. I still feel I’m trying to prove myself. Such is life in the world of career advancement.

Fast forward to today. First two days at the new locale is great. It's so nice to end your day and be home in two minutes. It makes me feel like I can't complain about anything. In our building, they have these cool air vents on the floors that blow fresh air into the office. Very cool, I've never seen anything like it. Just don't kneel on one because you might skin your knee. Air quality is so important in an office environment. Just ask someone who's work in any environment with bad air quality (like me).

Monday, November 21st, 2005 was the first day of my life that I came home for lunch on a workday. I challenge everyone to find a 'first' that they have done this week. Intentional or not. Imagine how life would be if you never had any firsts as an adult? Sometimes we forget about acknowledging our 'firsts', but I think we should note them. It reminds us of how much we still have to learn and experience. It also brings us closer to the way we looked at things in awe in childhood. It's easy to lose that as we pass through to adulthood.

The last couple of days my thoughts have been gravitating towards a friend of mine who is in Africa right now. She is doing some humanitarian work there for orphaned children/ children living with HIV/AIDS. Hoping she is safe tonight.... Peace.

Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head? Are you listening to a single word I've said?

It has been a while since I've written. So much going on. Life is so positive right now. Not without stress, but there's no negativity and I love that. Next week my office will move closer to wear I live. Score! When I say closer, I mean close enough that I can walk to the office sipping my tea. I could even go home for lunch! I've always had long commutes for work and this will be sooo nice. Plus, there will be lots of people in the new office so that is a double score---new people to meet and get to know. I think about 50 or so, not counting the rest of the organizations that will be housed in the Tower.
Today at lunch we were thinking of topics we could bring up at the new lunch room at the new building to clear the men out of the room and make it the ladies lunch room only. I came up with some zingers and got some laughs from the ladies. The ones we came up with were as follows:

1. Menopause
2. Childbirth (my idea)
3. General hygiene i.e smelling armpit and saying, 'did I wear deodorant today?'
4. Feminine hygiene products (another one of mine)
5. And the one that got the biggest laugh ( and was my idea): Talk about anything related to 'your feelings', that will surely clear out all the men from any room, everytime.

Good times, no?
