caller unknown

the past few weeks, i have been receiving numerous calls from a blocked or unknown number. sometimes i'm in a meeting and just let it go to voicemail, but i have yet to get a voicemail from the unknown caller. other times when i am free to pick up, the caller immediately hangs up. i've probably gotten around 7~10 calls like this over the past two weeks and i'm not really sure what to think. debt collectors? a stalker? or maybe someone who is just bored?

water, water, everywhere

i hate it when you are eating or drinking something and it startes to go down your windpipe. your throat immediately closes up and you start coughing violently. and in order to cough effectively, you know that whatever is in your mouth has to come out. i especially hate it when you have just taken a large swig of water and then you have to start coughing all of it out all over your shirt and pants; thus creating a small pool of water inside your cube at work. at least my laptop is still safe and dry (if not my lap).

wouldn't it be hilarious?

one third of a gallon of gas to get to work:
$0.90

cafeteria burger and tater tots:
$4.69

sugar from the vending machine:
$0.95

staying until midnight and putting in an extra 40 hours a week just to get canned in the latest 'efficiency' efforts:
priceless.

dreams come true!

i assume i have dreams every night, but for the most part, i don't really remember them. or if i do remember them, i forget them within 10 seconds of waking. unless of course, i happen to be doing something fun or strange like playing soccer or throwing a frisbee. unfortunately, sometimes when i dream of doing such activities, my body decides to play along and i'll physically jerk my leg or extend my arm in a throw. speaking of dreams, one dream i had recently that i do recall had to do with nuts or some other substance being lodged within my teeth. not surprisingly, i decided to brush my teeth so as to rinse out all of the remainders. and that is where my dream ended. now how did i manage to recall such a mundane and boring dream? it probably had something to do with the wet pool i found beside my pillow. sure, i've had plenty of dreams i wish would come true (even one i had that same night), but this dream was one i wouldn't have minded staying just a dream.

ugh.

a word of advice: don't have potato chips and ice cream for dinner--no matter how good of an idea it may seem at first. your stomach will thank you.
