.worth.something?.

well today i was not worthless. i was defo worth something (that reminds me of a worth nothing story that i will digress to in a minute). yes, i actually did something productive today. i painted 1 more wall in the living room. so that leaves 1/2 a wall to finish up and then maybe we can finally entertain properly. well...i mean we can entertain after we finally get our coffee tables. and those tables should be coming in a the end of the month. i guess i hit the wall today, and got sick of surfing and just putzing around, so i taped up the surrounding walls, painted the edges first, and then finished up with the roller. woohoo. yay. slowly but surely this place will feel more like home.

and i digress to that worth nothing story*. when i was at my former place of business (FPOB), we received these periodic emails with the subject line: 'Worth Noting!'. since FPOB was bought out last year, it has been sending out these emails so the employees can keep up to date with what changes were being implemented. one of my friend-coworkers, who is also a developer on my previous project, received these emails also, but as a typical consultant would do, he would scan his inbox and delete any email whose sender name was not recognizable. apparently in a project team meeting (which i missed because i was on vacation), one of our project managers was explaining something that had to do with the company transition, and he said that this issue was mentioned in our 'Worth Noting!' emails. my friend proceeds to blurt out, "don't you mean those 'Worth Nothing!' emails?" everyone laughed. not because they knew he seriously thought that's what the email said. but because it was funny, since these is no love lost between the company and my coworkers. however, my friend emphasized the fact that he really thought those emails said 'Worth Nothing!' this is where i assume that everyone bursts out into larger fits of laughter, at this dyslexic faux pas.

in reality, FPOB really is worth nothing.

new job countdown: 10 days.

*details may have been exaggerated. i said i was on vacation when this happened!
