Plays Well With Others

Back to the routine …

Well, today meant back to work and back to the routine … After having nearly two weeks off of work … I’m refreshed, and ready to get back into the routine of work … okay, that’s what people say.. I’m actually really tired, and could’ve used a nap halfway through the day.

It was nice to see all the coworkers again, though. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed their time off and although we are all a little tired, we are getting back into the swing of things. A couple of tiny things that were amusing …

One of my coworkers left her orchid on her desk over the break … she’s been babying the thing, and gave it a big drink of water before we left … well, we came in this morning and it was half dead. She ran over to it, and then ran into the kitchen to get some water and then ran it over to the window in her arms, like her baby had just died. She’s now nursing it back to health.. I’m sure it’ll do just fine.

My other coworker decided to go totally crazy during the break … he quit smoking and decided to become a vegetarian at the same time … his thinking is that when you quit smoking you usually make it up by vacuuming all the food you can possibly find into your face … so by becoming a vegetarian, he feels that he won’t gain the weight caused by the lack of smoking … I dont know how long this will last … thank god smoking isnt my bag and well, I need to have meat … I’m not vegetarian material. First off, I dont really like vegetables.

Has anyone tried smoking? I mean it’s really disgusting … I smoked a few times when I was younger … not really for the cool factor, but more just to see if I could do it. I mean, I’m not one to say something is stupid without first trying it … well, it’s stupid.

First off, I can’t light a cigarette … I suck at it. I think I lit it on fire, instead of lighting it like your supposed to. I can sort of puff the thing, but I look far from cool. I dont know how to hold the thing, I dont know how to smoke the thing, I dont even like the smell of the things … you can tell why I dont smoke.

Plus, there is nothing better than smokers breath. I mean … you can never have minty fresh breath because the shit is imbedded in your pours. Your teeth get yellowed, your skin gets dried out, your voice gets deeper … am I making my point?? If you havent started, dont.

Well, you can tell I’m playing with the layout a little bit … again. I’ve decided that the copyright symbol © is a good logo for commixion, so welcome the commixion logo. I stuck it up inthe corner for now, and perhaps down the road if I totally ever redesign I’ll figure out what to do with it.

The reason for the redesign … well Tim hated the Khaki colored background, and I wasnt all that crazy about it … so all it took was a word from the wise one and it’s gone.

I have some sad news to share with you all … during the break there was a death, and you all know how I feel about death.. but I guess I should share this with you … I found it in the news.

THE PILLSBURY DOUGH BOY – DEAD AT 71
Veteran Pillsbury spokesman, The Pillsbury Dough boy, died yesterday of a severe yeast infection and complications from repeated pokes to the belly. He was 71. Mr. Dough was buried in a slightly greased coffin and the graveside was piled high with flours as longtime friend, Mrs. Butterworth, delivered the eulogy. She described Dough as a man who “never knew how much he was kneaded.” Dough rose quickly in show business but his later life was filled with many turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Still, even as a crusty old man, he was a roll model for millions. Dough is survived by his second wife, Play. They have two children and one in the oven. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

Did you see that thing in the sidebar about the guy who never slept a wink in his life? The guy died at 92 and never slept, even once in his life. OHMYGOD! I dont know if that’s cool or strange or bad …

I mean I always wondered what it would be like to not have to sleep.. I mean if I didnt have to sleep and still wouldnt be tired, that might be great. I mean imagine how much you could get done … we sleep away about a quarter of our lives away, we work about half our lives, and then actually get to enjoy the other quarter of our lives.

So without sleep you could actually enjoy half your life. That is, if you didnt feel tired or rundown all the time. It would just suck if you physically couldnt sleep, but you were tired all the time … that would probably make me jump off a bridge or something …

I’d actually love it if my body didnt need sleep …

I dont know what I talk about and what I dont talk about anymore, but if I’m repeating myself … just whack me on the head.

My friend Les came over last night to talk to me about buying an engagment ring. How the hell I always become the Luuuuuuuuuuuurve Doctor, I dont know … but somehow I must put out a smell that says “Greg knows everything about the love business”.

Anyhow, he’s ready to make the big commitment and buy an engagement ring and announce to the world he wants to marry his girlfriend. I’ll support it, but I’m not sure I totally think its the right time.

She’s been putting a lot of pressure on him to propose … she’s set a date that she wants to be married by, and she’s even said she wants to start telling people they are engaged … even though he hasn’t officially asked yet. Some of the problems are that Les is just starting his job.. and isn’t really settled in it yet … he’s a teacher aide. Second, he just moved into his first place … a studio that barely contains him, let alone two people. Third, they’ve been apart longer than they’ve been together … she was in tonga for two years, and they’ve been a couple for under three years … they were together about nine months before she left and now a few weeks since she’s returned … I think they need a little more time to get used to each other and for her to get settled …

They feel they are ready to do this … so I’ll just have to support it. What I’m afraid of is that he’s going to get her pregnant and have more to deal with than he can handle. They are extremely unsafe when they have sex … he says they dont always use protection … and since she doesnt work, he’d have to support everyone … on his measly income from his job … I dont know how they’d do it.

Does anyone think I just think too much? Maybe that’s what marriages are all about … for two people to love each other and struggle through the problems together as they come. Personally, I dont want to struggle for anything … I’ve been there … my family has been through the struggling thing … eating ramen for dinner everynight … having handed down clothes … nearly missing Christmas at times … Although now we are all doing well, it wasn’t always that way, and I just dont want my friends going through that … but I guess that’s how you learn, through experiences.
