Better Off Popular

Lifeguard | Princeton, NJ, USA
(I was lifeguarding and jumped in to help a boy who had wandered into deep water. This interaction happened with his mother after I helped the boy out of the water.)
Mother: *running over* “What happened?!”

Me: “Everything is OK, ma’am. Your son just went too deep into the water. He should be fine.”

Mother: “Well, why the h*** did you help him?”

Me: “Excuse me?”

Mother: “Why did you have to jump in and help him?”

Me: “Well, ma’am, it’s my job, and your son was having trouble swimming–”

Mother: *interrupting* “You idiot! You embarrassed my son in front of everyone! Don’t you think you should have thought about how embarrassing that must have been for a little boy?!”

Me: “Actually, no I didn’t think about that. I was more concerned about your son drowning than him being embarrassed.”

Mother: “That’s ridiculous! Why the h*** would you ever be more concerned about THAT?!”

Morning tea!

I'm having real trouble today getting motivated to....well anything really. I'm hoping a caffeine and sugar hit might help. Just so.....blah... today.

So Jealous.

I have found that there is a range in the US called M&M's Premiums(link needs Flash)
I *wants* some.
Triple Chocolate, Mint Chocolate MOCHA! Raspberry Almond and Chocolate Almond. YUUUUUUUUUM
Did you also know you can get Custom Print M&M's!!! I think its likely to be confined to the States too. Damn I wish I'd found that before our wedding. (I'll just tell myself they weren't available instead)

Best. Cake. Mistake. Ever.

From Cake Wrecks and ErinsWorld.

I "wish" they made "more" Novelty Cakes in "Australia"*

I have been crying with laughter for the last two days at work as I read through the archives on Cake Wrecks, a blog dedicated to "When professional cakes go horribly, hilariously wrong."

Or theres "does Hallmark even have a herpes section?"

The "Fireman Wang cake"

A cake for every (inappropriate) occassion...

Or see below for Its a Gril!

Congratulations on your WeEding? I cried with laughter over this one. My boss thinks I'm mad.

Bloody funny stuff, and Thanks to K for putting me onto it, through your Blogroll. (Do you know my husband Laughs his heart out when I say that? He goes around telling people how funny it is too. Killing himself with fits of giggles.)

Finally I have made it through the archives, and can return to normal work. Everytime my boss has heard me chuckle in the last few days he's threatened to cut the site off so I can't read it.



*If you've read the site you'll know that there's a lot of unneccessary "quotation" "marks" going on over there.

Top Gear Live - awesome

My First Day - 365 Days



My First Day - 365 Days, originally uploaded by dataceptionist.
So, as I mentioned a few posts ago, I'm starting the 365 day project on Flickr, and this is my Day 1 photo. (Yes, a little saturated, what can I say, I love colour)

Feel free to stop by and have a look, I've already found it very challenging. I won't post everyday's photos, I may post none at all. I might just stick with the ones I really love.

My 365 set http://www.flickr.com/photos/dataceptionist/sets/72157613296360914/
Ciao for now!

The only good cockroach...


Cockroach (a.k.a. plantation bug), originally uploaded by slippay.

is a dead one.

I was sitting in my cafe near work yesterday morning, and noticed a cockroach sneaking toward me. I was concerned it was headed right for my table so I continued to watch it until it was right next to my table. As I watched it sort of turned around and then did nothing for a few minutes so I thought I was safe to look back at my book.

When I looked down again I saw that it wasn't there anymore.

THEN I FELT A TICKLE ON MY LEG AND LOOKED DOWN AND IT WAS ON ME.

I was so shocked, I jerked my leg, it flew off and I didn't see it again.

To think that I hadn't squished it immediately as I sort of thought I didn't want to make a scene, and it wasn't "hurting anyone".

SO EW EW EW

Ever since I've been paranoid about feeling any sensation on my legs. Ew ew ew :(

What punctuation mark are you?

Because I know you're DYING to find out.



You Are a Colon



You are very orderly and fact driven.

You aren't concerned much with theories or dreams... only what's true or untrue.



You are brilliant and incredibly learned. Anything you know is well researched.

You like to make lists and sort through things step by step. You aren't subject to whim or emotions.



Your friends see you as a constant source of knowledge and advice.

(But they are a little sick of you being right all of the time!)



You excel in: Leadership positions



You get along best with: The Semi-Colon

Pink Wii!

For Christmas M gave me a pink silicon cover for the Wii fit Balance Board. So here it is, in action!

We're trying to continue to use the Wii, and we're having good success mostly.

We went to a Rock Band party on the weekend and it was much more fun that I expected (the Rock Band part, not the party). Not being terribly musically inclined I wasn't sure it was going to be "my bag" but it was heaps of fun, and according to the game, I am great at singing. Hahahahahaha

Anyone else find this weird?

Thanks to Riona.

We're off to see our broker, the wonderful broker of....Oz?

We're off tonight to talk to our mortgage broker about buying a house. An exciting time, as it may be the first step to becoming property moguls, as we plan to keep our unit.

*fingers crossed*

This will go perfectly with the fridge...

I Just Lost My Appetite…

Frame Shop | Moscow, ID, USA

(A customer comes in with “artistic” nude pictures of herself and her husband, and throws them on the counter.)

Customer: “What kind of frame should I put on these? They are going in the kitchen.”

Me: “The kitchen, huh? Well, I can start you off with a few options.” *I show her a few frames*

Customer: “…and how much would this be?”

Me: “$350.00 each.”

Customer: “For $350.00 I’d expect something a little more… phallic.”

Well yeah its a bit judgemental....

Fit To Be Wide

Retail | Missouri, USA
(An angry, overweight female customer approaches me with a Nintendo Wii Fit and hands me her receipt.)

Me: “Hi, what can I help you with today?”
Customer: “I’d like to return this.”
Me: “What seems to be the problem with it?”
Customer: “I think it’s broken.”
Me: “All right, what’s going on?”
Customer: “Whenever it weighs me and calculates my BMI, it labels me as obese.”
Me: “And…”
Customer: “Well, that can’t be right!”
Me: “From what I’ve heard, the measurements on Wii Fits are fairly accurate. Are you sure you want to return this? They’re pretty hard to find.”
Customer: “Are you calling me fat?!”
Me: “No, I’m just saying that…”
Customer: “You just called me fat!
Me: “No, I was just saying…”
Customer: “Whatever. I still want to return it. It’s obviously not working right. And, I think someone should talk to the designer; make them use a different word. It hurt my feelings.”
Me: *soothingly* “Maybe you could contact Nintendo; write a letter or something.”
Customer: “You know what, I will! I’ll let them know that their stupid game called me obese and made me cry for three hours straight. I haven’t eaten solid food for two days because of it. I’m so hungry! I almost fainted last night. Do you think I can sue?”
Me: “Well, you can sure try. Have a nice day.”

______________at making coffee on the machine at home.


I bought a new macch glass. Still playing with it

M has gone away for a boys weekend.

I totally hate sleeping alone. I don't share the sentiment with other girls that love when their partners go away so they can "spread out" in the bed.

I just feel lonely.
