Guess that's why stealing a "fraction of a cent" in Office Space didn't work too well.

Invite to all members of the BC-Squared Social Club

As I was packing and moving this weekend, I found a Medieval Times cup in my car from Shane and Kim's. It occurred to me that I don't think anyone a part of the BC-Squared Social Club has ever been. Was curious if you guys wanted to? :)

Either Really Strong or Really Light...

You be the judge....

First day

So I left the house at 6:30 after taking the puppy out etc. I got to work at 7. I guess I should leave for work a little later instead of wasting time drinking coffee and eating breakfast in front of the Silver Comet. Today is Cash's first day home alone. I am expecting an accident in his crate, but that is to be expected.

Moving update

I am about sixty percent moved now. Guess what I will be doing every night this week?

To my new home

I cannot stand liars. I put my bike for sale since I will be the owner of a Blue bike. A guy offered me $100 yesterday and I accepted with pick up today. They live in Buckhead. I get to the meeting place and put my bike together. A snotty woman walks by with her Pomeranian and does not say a word. A few minutes later a guy walks up sees my bike hands me cash and says count it out. I am glad I did. It was only 80. I stopped him as he started to walk away with my bike and tell him that we agreed on 100. He said no we said eighty. I quoted him his email (since I have a great memory). He said I am not going to argue and pulls out twenty while telling me I need to check my email then. I pull out my phone and said sir we can check it right now. He says no no that is okay but we said 80. He walked away I got in my car opened my email ...$100...and I forwarded him our email thread. They drove away in their Cadillac Escalade.
