March Madness is more fun when you are beating all the boys in the office! But only for this week. When they play this weekend I'll no longer be winning.
And currently tied with roommate. We've decided that instead of going to the winners movie choice only, we get to go to both since we were so close in points!
(I'd show proof, but I can't get the screenshot to come in big enough to see it.)

Coldness...
The furnace went out at work yesterday. It's a little chilly in here this morning, but I came prepared with blankets and gloves and extra layers of clothing! I was commenting that I felt a little like an old woman as I used my blanket as a shawl. My co-worker reminded me of my lap blanket I had, which furthered the old woman metaphor. Now if only my chair was a rocking chair, I'd be set!

Phone call today...
I've never had a problem with people misspelling my first name, so I never spell it out for people. Today I answered a phone call at work and after verifing a bunch of information about the company she asks for my name. Here's what happened:
Caller: Can I get your name?
Me: Amy
Caller: Okay, is the spelling E M I.
Me: (trying not to laugh) No, it's A M Y.
Caller: Okay, thanks.
Now, she had an Indian accent and English was not her first language, but Emi? Seriously? At least we all got a good laugh when I finally hung up.

Funny Story...
So the boss is in town last week and I had a half hour meeting with him. Not too bad, but I'm pretty nervous about it. He works in California and we almost never see him in Utah.
That morning I figure I should be a little more dressed up than usual. (And this summer I've been a lot on the casual side!) So I pull out a pair of dress pants I haven't worn in months and go to work. All is good, my meeting went well but about 4 o'clock I can feel that there is this strange bump on the back of my leg, so I go in the bathroom to check it out.
Turns out I've had a dryer sheet in my pants ALL DAY LONG! Luckily, it stayed in my pants and I didn't have it trailing behind me when I went for my meeting! :) I'll be checking inside my pant legs from now on I think.

well now I feel guilty, tired and hungry...
Roommate's plans changed again and she ended up leaving last night as originally planned. Now I feel guilty for being so happy that she's gone. Is that wrong?!?
Something woke me up at 4 this morning and I couldn't fall back asleep (until it was time to really get up, then I could have gone back to sleep!). It was kind of nice knowing that I didn't have to worry about waking her up too, but there's not much to do at 4 am especially when you've left your book out in the car.
But today's not all bad, it's the monthly potluck lunch at work and I made these cute mini cheesecakes and it's killing me to wait until lunchtime. I did eat one last night because I had never made them before and I had to make sure they wouldn't kill anyone. :) And it was YUMMY! I probably could have eaten the whole batch.

Update...
My vacation from my blog lasted much longer than my vacation from work did! I'm back and with lots but not lots to discuss.
First, I had a marvelous Christmas and a wonderful vacation from work until we went back. Then, the first week back, my office laid off some people. I still have a job, but it's a bigger job than it used to be. I'm grateful that I am working, I just wish I could get a handle on it so that I wasn't working 10 -11 hour days.
Just as I was starting to get a handle on the extra work, to add to my stress, I got a summons for jury duty. My first ever. I hoped that the trial would be settled out of court and I wouldn't have to go in. Not with my luck - I got to go for jury selection. And another credit to my luck, I got chosen for the jury. I spent 2 days (and one evening/night) at the courthouse. On the one hand, it was very interesting and I enjoyed seeing the inner workings of a trial (since my limited knowledge is based on what I picked up on TV and movies) but I didn't like making the decision of if someone was guilty or not-guilty. Since I am a little nervous about what people can find online - that's all I am going to say about it here. Great learning experience, hope to never have it again. :)
