jeans day!

first off, i'd like to apologize for something. yesterday, pelt had an allergy attack and i forgot to tell you about it. i know, dick move. anyways, she's fine now (it would appear) and hungry for some chocolate covered popcorn (not joking). also, she informed us that one upside to an otherwise crippling allergy attack is that her lips swell, "which is sexy." uh, thank you, grace, i think you're wrong.

also, since i spend so much time complaining about stuff here, i thought i'd tell you about a couple things i love:

1) today i got to write the sentence "a number of important details were obscured by the cartoon penguin logo printed at the top of each page of the document." what kills me about this, is that whoever made the decision to print this penguin on the document was probably working on the assumption that it would lend credibility to both this and future exchanges of information. this is what i like to call an "incorrect" or "delusional" assumption. i mean, look, i'm not going to pretend to be professional, but i know, FOR A FACT, that cartoon characters should not be printed on any official document. i might be going out on a limb here, but i don't think warren buffett ever says "hey team, i was thinking of starting this powerpoint presentation with a couple sweet drawings i did of the tazmanian devil. is everyone on board with this?"

2) there is a lightswitch in the building for which someone made "on" and "off" labels. they are affixed, respectively, above the lightswitch when it is in its upward position and below the lightswitch when it is in its downward position. could this be the most unnecessary explanation of an intuitive concept EVER? i'm guessing yes. although i do have a sign inside my refrigerator that says "the refrigerator is open" and a sign on the outside which says "the refrigerator is not open." you know, just in case i forget what open looks like.
