Perfection on Display

Perhaps the most beautiful desktop wallpaper in all the world? ;) ... or maybe I'm just biased.

400% Smart

I found this a fellow blogger's website, so I decided to run my own and see how I turn out. Check out my results below.

Your brain: 40% interpersonal, 160% visual, 40% verbal, and 160% mathematical!

Congratulations on being 400% smart! Actually, on my test, everyone is. The above score breaks down what kind of thinking you most enjoy doing. A score above 100% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 100% means you use it less. It says nothing about how good you are at any one, just how interested you are in each, relatively. A substantial difference in scores between two people means, conclusively, that they are different kinds of thinkers. Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice, which I think is obvious: Don't date someone if your interpersonal percentages differ by more than 80%. Don't be friends with someone if your verbal percentages differ by more than 100%. Don't have sex with someone if their math percentage is over 200%.

Moving Up Moving Up

I've currently thinking about moving up the dates of my proposed relocation to the North Valley. My lease currently expires at the end of the year....precisely the end of the year actually....December 31, 2005. The original plan was I would go month-to-month for January and make the move at the end of January so as to not conflict with Christmas or the New Year's holidays. But now I'm thinking maybe I should move before hand...take possession of the new apartment in Mid-December...say around the 17th, so I could actually spend Christmas up at the new apartment. So I'll probably pay a visit to the leasing office up there this weekend to see what availability they have at this point and go from there. :)

Lunch After All

We had a rep from California in the office today, so our "home-office" worker had to be here to put up the good front of "one happy office". As a result, the boss decided we should do lunch that day. Chuck of course still sat it out, but the rest of us all went over to Black Angus for lunch.

Birthday Boy

Today is Chuck's birthday, but you'd never know it around the office. Normally, the boss takes us all out to lunch when it's someone's birthday. Usually with Chuck's and mine being so close, we combine the dates into one luncheon. Well Chuck has been in severe depression mode for the last 6 months, so he doesn't want to do a lunch. Someone else in the office doesn't even WORK in the office anymore...she always works from home...so she probably wouldn't come anyway. So today I just put a kaibosh on the whole thing and said to forget it. It wasn't worth the hassle of trying to get everyone on the same page.

Death of Lucky

Back to the grind stone at work, but there was a hint of sadness in the office today. Our pet goldfish, Lucky, finally succombed to old age. He was nearly 4 years old. He actually was the pet of Cole, our office manager's son. He bought him when he was a freshman in high school. He got the nickname lucky because he just wouldn't die. They would forget to feed him for days on end, the tank would never be cleaned, etc, etc, etc. Finally, he was brought in to the office where he got a new lease on life in a fresh tank with feedings twice-daily.

He took a turn for the worse about 3 months ago when he contracted flukes, but we managed to pull him through it after about a week of treatments and tender loving care. Since then he had been active in his tank and always the hungry fish. However, this morning we came in and he was motionless on the bottom of the tank, a pale white color.

Farwell, poor Lucky, may you rest in peace. :)
