Do I even have to give these Defective Yeti stories an intro?
I mean come on, gentle reader! You know. You’ve been to his site. You’ve laughed your ass off.
Why do I even waste the effort in typing something that only will be forgotten when you click through and read his funny story.
So, I’m just going to stop writing intros to these things.
Right now.
This is me stopping.
I’m stopping.
I’m not writing anything else. Really.
OK…well this one is a funny story about shopping in Walgreens.
And yes. It is funny.
Yep - went to Seattle for a Anthropology seminar. That makes sound all, like, academic and stuff. But really, I just needed a freaking 1 unit class and this was the only one available. Fortunately, it was in a subject I adore and taught by a professor who I think is the cat’s pajamas, Dr. Nancy McKee. She’s the kind of teacher I hope to be - fun, challenging, interesting - and all those other good adjectives that make people remember a professor long after graduation.
Anyhoo, the trip was fabu. I only wished I could have stayed longer. I got to bond with the other Distance Degree Program senators and hobnobbed with advisors. Everyone was very kind, supportive and helpful.
Thanks tons to Sally for letting me kidnap her house for the whole weekend. She wasn’t even home! So nice!
And I got to see my buds Jeannette and Brook, and Cary and a few former co-workers at the old pit-o-despair, REI. All in all, a grand time. Did I mention all I did was eat? I tried to get as many favs in as time and money would allow.
Ah…Pagliaccis Pizza, TS McHughs, The Five Spot, more Pagliaccis, Rain Sushi…sigh…so yummy and so far away…sigh.
OK that’s all the info you get. I may remember other fun stuff later. Till then, go look at the pics on my photo page.
OK, I hear you…you’re disgruntled because I have totally slacked in the updating of the blog. Well, it’s been hella busy here and I’m sorry. Please forgive me.
Besides, I’m just not that funny anymore. I’m too socially isolated to keep my funny bones sharpened. This post is a great example of that…absolute drivel which isn’t interesting even to me.
So thar…
Lemme go and find something funny or interesting to post. Stay tuned…
I’m somebody now! I’m somebody now!
Wait a minute…
I have a cell phone and I’m unlisted.
Dang. Nevermind.
Guess what? I’m soon to be unemployed! Yay!
No longer will I slave in the Pit-O-Despair! My last day is February 8th and I leave for Seattle on the 9th! Can life get any better? Well…yes. I could have won the lottery. But this is pretty dang cool! Say it with me, ‘Woh Babs! That’s soooooo bitchin’, like totally’!
So now, gentle reader, I will be dirt-poor and on my way to the land of student loan debt! Woo hoo! But I care not. I am happy to be making small but important steps to a life of academia. Please keep in mind that at any moment I could completely chicken out and just go get a regular job. It’s my perogative and that’s that.
There are way too many exclamation points in this post. Can you tell I’ve had coffee? Yep. I did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, please notice my sassy countdown-o-meter in the sidebar — it’s a new addition thanks to the fine plugin support provided for WORD PRESS blogs like mine. Love the WORD PRESS!
OK — going to eat ice cream now.
