Seriously, that has been my reaction to a handful of things lately. I'm kind of ashamed to admit it. I've become one of those people whose first instinct is to blog when provoked.
In other news, I'm thinking of buying something large and expensive -- a house. Not right this instant, but in the not-too-distant future. When I do buy a house, I will be the first of my siblings to have a mortgage. See, my brother lives with our mom (a mutually beneficial relationship), one sister rents, and another sister has a sweet housing situation created by a generous in-law.
I could live with mom, but then again, I couldn't. It's too much of a commute to work -- an hour each way. And the cost of gas is ridiculous.
My commute to work now takes 35 minutes, tops, and that's if I ride from the Shrewsbury Metrolink station. Most days, I ride from the Delmar station, which is only about three miles from my apartment. And it reduces my drive by about 75%.
In other news, work is work. And I will be the only one at work on Monday morning. No, it's not a holiday of any sort. It's just that everyone else is either on vacation or off campus for various meetings. Including the director's secretary, who answers the main phone line. So I will be covering the phone for her Monday morning.
I'm planning on putting a sign on the door to the main office that says, "Bob is the only one here this morning - please adjust your expectations accordingly."
Seriously, I'm a terrible secretary. That's why I don't fill in much. Some people are still missing some tooth enamel from the last time I filled in for her and had to make the morning pot of coffee.
I had no idea 15 scoops was too many.

oooh, jealous! I totally believe in our neighborhood and I really think amazing deals can be had here right now, and that in the long-term the property values will skyrocket as the neighborhood continues shedding rent-a-centers and adding yuppie bars.
