Spoken while searching for a place to eat when Kevin suggested we could always eat Taco Bell if all else failed: There is no failure bad enough to make Taco Bell an option. http://twitter.com/thedessie/statuses/642405012

OK, Passing the Hat Now....

My company is sponsoring a team for the Aids Walk Los Angeles. It's another good cause, so feel free to send a donation.

More to come on that soonish....work just got busy.

Going PINK.....No, I Haven't Gone Insane.

2007-10-01T07:13:43Z

And yes, I am still sooooo not a fan of the colour. That hasn't changed. However, I think this one is for a good cause. I am participating in Pink For October, which is basically where bloggers/whoever turn their sites pink to help raise money and awareness for breast cancer. Given my family history, I am a fan of doing whatever we can to help find a cure. There are donate links and the like available at the P4O site.

I DOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

Heh, I started writing this post on Monday. It's now Tuesday Thursday. Wonder when I will actually get it put up?

Anyway, I went diving on Sunday....it was the first time I have managed to dive since I fell in November. I celebrated in grand fashion, by buying a wetsuit of my very own. Hooray!

I can't wait til I have the spare cash for an underwater housing for my new camera. Well, its not new anymore, but still, I want the damn housing. Hehe. They are pretty pricey, so I don't think it will be soon. I bid on one on Ebay, but I bid really low so I don't expect to actually get it, which is fine cuz my paycheck was screwed up this week *glares at boss* (Kidding Mister Boss, you know I love ya). I will know on Saturday, so we shall see.

Coffee

2007-08-14T15:38:41Z

I have done it to myself again...I started drinking coffee at work again. I do this every couple of years when life starts to pile up on me at the office. I drink for a few months, then I realise how horrible it is for me, and quit all over again. It's a vicious cycle.

I am having one of those days at work today where I really want to throw my new established Dessie Coffee Cup through my monitor. Nothing's going right, servers don't want to keep doing their job, and I have had to pee for an hour and haven't had time. Sigh.

Were you a child of the 90's?

2007-04-27T21:08:26Z

If you are under the age of 13...you should not read this and if you do, you should not repost this. Just because you were born in '97 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid. It's not like you could remember the original Simpsons. I am sorry but three conscious years of the 90's just wont cut it.

You're a 90's kid if:

You remember drinking Surge, and Tang.

If you remember when every thing was "da BOMB!"

When they made the new lunchables so that you could make pizza AND tacos.

You remember boom boxes vs. cd players.

Making those little paper fortune teller things, and then predicting your life with them.

You played and/or collected "Pogs" :)

You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet, or Nano and brought it everywhere.

. . . Furbies.

You haven't always had a computer, and it was cool to have the internet.

And Windows 95 was the best.

If you even know what an original walkman is.

You remember wanting to sit on the orange Nickelodeon couch.

You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

One word: Pokemon

Before the MySpace frenzy . . .

Before the Internet & text messaging . . .

Before Sidekicks & iPods . . .

Before MIKE JONES . . .

Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX . . .

Before Spongebob . . .

Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night.

When light up sneakers were cool.

When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.

When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing.

When we recorded
stuff on VCRs.

When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off of our walkmen.

When checking out drawing books and that one book about the rainbow fish from the library was THE cool thing to do.

You had slap bracelets!

Way back.

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear.

Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!!

Kick ASS Utility!

2007-04-03T03:45:59Z

FolderShare - File Transfer & Remote File Access - Product Overview

My boss found this today. It's KICK ASS if you are like me and are neurotic about your workspace, and have to keep it the same across multiple systems. You can sync things like your bookmarks, or random folders or whatever. I am using it to keep my cute little cheat sheets the same across the three computers I work at regularly. It also allows me to share documents with other people, so the boss and I can keep our reports and schedules and such the same if either of us makes a change. LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
