recent ish times

i was thinking i haven't really blogged as of late. hmmm... let's see what has happened. last friday night we had another group date. it was so much fun. there were 4 couples. lis & jake, mary & adam, sarah & mitch, and taylor & me. we went out to west haven to sharon & gus' house. they have a huge basement and were gracious enough to let us borrow it for the evening. we made pizza and played card games. the pizza turned out fabulous. i ate like a pig. actually, all the girls ate. we put the boys to shame. it was quite funny. but whatever. it was good food, and hey, i never pass on good food. the night went really quickly. i am always amazed at how fast time flies when you are having fun....and we had fun. i have decided i really like dates when there is no pressure. i like taylor. he is a great person. i also like that i don't have to worry where things are going between us. if it goes anywhere beyond friends...it is his call. and no we haven't kissed! (lis i know that's what you were thinking...) ;)
last saturday mindy was in town, so lis & i got to hang out with her. we went to joann & justin's house and played pit. i love that game! it is so much fun. then we had to take mindy back to charlie so they could get some sleep before driving back to minnesota. thanks to the snow...they didn't leave as planned, but they spent time with their families that are out here. let's see...what else has happened..... monday i got to see twilight again. we found a discount theatre here in ogden. so on monday night after body attack at the gym, lis & i took mary to twilight. she hadn't seen it. it was exciting to see her see it for the first time. mostly i think lis & i annoyed her because we were quoting the movie and singing along with the background music and sighing whenever edward (for lis) and jasper (for me) was on the screen. mary likes emmett. so there is one for each of us... hee hee hee. hmmmm... what else has been going on....
oh! i have a date friday night! my good friend hoppe is setting me up with one of his buddies, bret. hoppe's girl is making dinner and i am not sure what else is on the agenda, but i am actually really excited. i just don't know what to wear. from what i hear, bret dresses really well and is also an amazing musician. two big bonus's right off. he is 27? (hoppe couldn't remember) this is, i am reassured, a fairly casual date and doesn't have to go anywhere beyond perhaps a new friend. who knows though right?. regardless, i think it will be a good thing for me to break out of my usual lame ish life. ok, i really can't think of much else....
work?...eh. it is the same ol thing. i get frustrated with stupid people. for example.... monday night, and my boss and i know it was night because it was after we left for the day... someone came in our office and got on the internet on my boss's computer. very bad idea! the last few months our computers were attacked by a virus that almost crashed our corporate computers. a few stores were completely crashed by the virus that was downloaded from the internet. since then, the internet has been strictly banned except for the storelink. however, they can't truly put a good enough block on the internet, so people keep getting on. well, thankfully nothing has happened to my boss's computer. if a virus were to get in, our entire store would be shut down. no one could ring anything up at any register and it would be very dangerous because this virus was one that downloaded all information that is on the computer and transmits it to the source of the virus. very bad!
they have been talking of installing cameras in our office because the last few months we have also had a huge problem with people stealing and people messing with the other computers in the office. whoever it is or multiple people have come in our office has been helping themselves to the food we have in there. monday night someone came in the office and ate all of my boss's m&ms. it was a gift from the meat guys for a happy valentines. the package was tied to balloons and had a note on it for my boss. whoever it was tried to hide the evidence. the empty wrapper was in the garbage under all of the papers we had put in that day. and the balloons were paper clipped to old price tags and also in the garbage. upon further investigation, we found a half eaten m&m on the floor. who actually has the nerve to do that?!
my boss & i have tried telling everyone to lock the door in the past, but we aren't sure who actually has keys to the office. we talked to the main manager, when my computer had issues because someone was messing around on it, about changing the lock and getting keys for only certain people. that was more than 2 months ago and nothing has changed. now we flat out have someone clearly breaking the internet rules and stealing! my boss & i have actually come to the point now that unless a scanning person is in the office, that the door remain locked all the time. meaning, i have to always have my key on my person while at work. annoying, but hopefully it will solve the problem for now until the culprit is caught or they decide to actually change the lock or put a camera in. who knows what will really happen. the last office they put a camera in, they were not very sneaky and within 2 seconds of pulling out the ladder to "fix a vent" everyone knew exactly where the new camera was. hence, we think, the reason they came to my boss's computer to get on the internet. dark office, and no cameras, and no one to know...except we totally do know! just not who...yet. well...that is really about all so i shall close for now. until next time...
