I thought I was just tired, but no, I had a full-blown allergy attack on the way! This morning, I walked into my office and sneezed, dripped, itched and coughed for almost 20 minutes. I took a Claritin, and I’ve been clear for the last hour… whew! No wonder why I couldn’t open my eyes this morning, they were hiding from the air outside! It’s okay, I’m alright now.

Holy technological advancement, Batman! Look at what I got yesterday!! A NEW PHONE! Go go gadget power! I also got an amazing little digital dictionary and thesaurus, 220,00 words, that’s right. I best not excite myself too much, I AM in the office, you know. I love my new stuff. I can’t wait to pour over the manuals after work today, try out all the ring options, screen savers, oh my!

Yes. I am digging this little picture thing, I can’t wait until this evening when the activation kicks in. For all of you who know me, realize that this means my number is changing, no more personalized phone number, it’s completely random and ordinary now, much unlike the new phone itself. Oh, the price we pay for the cool shit, the utter compromises I’ve had to make in order to have this color, this capability – all worth it, I’m sure.

That’s all you get for now, I’m having a busy morning full of snotty claims adjustors and senile clients who can’t remember what type of car hit them, how it hit them… I’m beginning to think some of these people hallucinated their injuries to begin with. Fucking litigation. Stupid people, greedy people, incompetent people, sneaky people. I’m so happy that the majority of my friends don’t fit into those categories. It was lovely to hang with Ollie last night as he helped M.s. hang something much bigger than all of us.

I can’t wait to see those up! Cool shit, man. Cool shit. Tonight, I better see Bobo, else I’m going to have to hunt him down like an animal. We WILL catch up, and I WILL return his gem of a gem. How nice that will be for many reasons. Tomorrow, Zimbabwe & Spider Monkey and dinner. So much to look forward to! And all I want to do is hide out and read all about my new gadgets. I’m such a geek.
