oh for christ's sake. this is hilarious! i almost (almost) forgot i even had this little diddy going. i think my goal was one post per month. i hate goals. i'd rather just be pleasantly surprised with a mild level of success - which is to say, low expectations don't leave you disappointed. i know, sad. but i always have a smile on my face so it can't be all-bad.

we just got back from a radical trip to Big Sky Country. holy smokes was it great. pete likes to push me and prod me to be faster and better, but i just like to roll down the hill, gain some speed, take a fast turn and enjoy the ride. i think he could snowboard every day of his life. we've got to get that boy back to the mountains.

in the meantime, did i say, "holy fuck it's hard to get back into the swing of things" yet? cause it is. my body rejected my computer desk like a bad organ. a cirrhosified liver. it wasn't pretty. i almost cracked some skulls on tuesday. but today went more smoothlyer. i was actually able to laugh about the poop water dripping from the flooded boy-toilet upstairs. if you can't laugh at poop water, you have problems. unless of course you are the poor soul who has to clean it up. god bless 'em.

and in the spirit of trying to be excited again about work, let's talk about the fact that we recycle now! i don't have to wake up nights devising new ways to make our office manager feel bad about not recycling. not that i put in that much effort. mostly i just got pissed about it but kept it to myself. oh here and there i'd drop clues...but i think it took a few more employees dropping their jaws at our past practices to finally wake 'em up. i think it's working out well if only b/c i see all the cardboard taken away for recycling instead of hauled to the dump. i didn't know people didn't know about recycling. my dad has been recycling since i was born. it's hard to teach something that wasn't learned. is that true?

i think it might be. things that are just so engrained in you - i mean i've not thought about what is recyclable for ages. i just know. why can't you recycle ziplocs in your weekly recycling? i don't know - you just can't. i am going to think of other things i live daily and should be able to explain better.

yeah right, i'll be back in three months - laughing my ass off at the november posting but grimacing again at september and october. tschus!
