kissing isn't what keeps me up to my elbows in placenta all day

My company is building a new center to house the majority of employees in its Seattle campus and it sounds super awesome rad.  Fireplaces, neighborhoods, seasonal color schemes, a "scenic outdoor deck overlooking Puget Sound" and a Starbucks that will, in all likelihood, put that Caffe Ladro across the street out of business, which means I shall have to redouble my caffeinated efforts.  My group is scheduled to move in early May (lucky Rira moves in March, the jerk) and I was really excited about it until I saw our floor assignment:  Lucky Number Thirteen.  I asked our move coordinator if it was actually Floor Thirteen or if they were going to do that thing where they just skip thirteen and call it "fourteen," a cunning ruse that always fools fate.  He said "No."  Oh, and on top of this, the area in which I’m supposed to sit?  A013.  What the fuck?  If you’re going to have an Area Thirteen on the Thirteenth Floor, you might as well change the name of the building to Nakatomi Tower.  Godammit.

Note to self:  always wear shoes in new building.

Stop making me have to google things. Nakatomi Tower? Jerk. Also--I just noticed your list of companies on yuor myspace, fucking hilarious.

[John]

Oh, brilliance. Die Hard is the greatest movie of all time.

[Baxter]

Scary, dude.

THANK YOU for lending me Lenore, by the way. I have found a comforting kinship in her good-natured way of destroying things.

I'm halfway through the second book and then I will run them back to you and lend you Fables in return.

[ahe]

Ooh, yay, I am glad you're liking the Roman Dirge...and I can't wait for Fables! Hey, can anybody draw? I want to write a graphic novel.

[rira]

yes, i get to move in early, but not as cool since the building will still be under construction. let's just hope the building doesn't fall down while i'm in it.

a graphic novel? omg, you are so cohen.

[ahe]

Yeah, fingers crossed that nothing goes horribly awry with the construction. I think they won't be doing real work though...more like the decorating and lighting and whatall.

"a graphic novel? omg, you are so cohen."

And I have the bedhead to prove it.

[Ali G]

ha! loved 10 things i hate about you...

but yeah. you should probably stock up on the regular remedies - garlic, pigs blood, a few crosses... then not only will you be safe from fate, no coworker will bother you again!

a chick making not one, but two die hard references? hot.

I'm on the 4th floor of my building. In China, 4 is the most unlucky number, and buildings don't have 4th floors there either.

Who's more fucked, Ahe: you or me?

[ahe]

Well, for right now, you, since I'm not actually on the 13th floor yet. Good luck, Sherrard.

[Steven]

Count on Bruce. He's not over the hill just yet... Oh and what's his name... Carl Winslow. And maybe SLJ will make a guest appearence.

[ahe]

I'd probably just join Team Gruber.
