It's Not ALWAYS About SSG

SSG has been ALL OVER THE PLACE lately, what with her interviews over here and over here and soon to be over here, here and here.  (Lys your questions are coming!)

I'M starting to get sick of myself, I can only imagine how you guys must feel.

So!  In the spirit of being all undercover secret agent like--is there something you want to know about any of the people that I've written about here?  This could be friends, family, co-workers or even other commenters?  I promise to get the scoop.  (Predo won't let me interview him thinking I already know too much and will get him in trouble.  But TRUST ME when I say next time I see him I'll distract him with a few gin and tonics and a low cut shirt with LOTS of cleavage ... that Jimmy will be wearing.) 

And then some other bits and pieces on people you haven't heard about for, like, a week.

Work BFF

 (On Tuesday--SSG took Friday &Monday Off)

BFF:  DUDE!

SSG:  Dude!  Did you miss me?

BFF:  Not at all.  GUESS WHAT?!

SSG:  I'm not listening.

BFF:  I won CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK AT STARBUCKS!

SSG:  Awesome!  Wait, what does that mean?  Do we get free coffee?

BFF:  No, but I do!  Or did ... yesterday.

SSG:  Not the whole week?

BFF:  No, but my name stays on the chalkboard all week showing what my drink is.

SSG:  Nice!  What's "your drink?"

BFF:  Grande coffee of the day.

SSG:  So it's only when I have to buy you coffee that you pick the one that takes 10 minutes to order and costs $20?

BFF:  Yep.

SSG:  So why did they give you this fabulous honor?

BFF:  Because ME + ZERO = AWESOME!

So Me + Zero = AWESOME goes to Starbucks and gets recognition.  SSG goes to Starbucks and gets the "Deluxe Fruit Blend" for $3.45, opens it up at her desk to find a few slices apple, some grapes a half a kiwi and a chunk of pineapple.

So NOT deluxe, Starbucks.   

Quiet Guy

I think Quiet Guy might be reading my blog. 

Yesterday he came up to me.  On his own accord.  In the LOBBY of our building (AWAY from the confines of our cube farm) while I was waiting for some friends to go to lunch.  And MADE A JOKE.  

And then today, he forwarded me an e-mail he thought I would think was funny.  Which I DID.  And then laughed at something I said when I wasn't talking to him but that was HILARIOUS (if SSG does say so herself.)

Are you there QG?  I have this paranoia that you're reading and secretly laughing at me by doing crazy things and then making me write about them.

SSG's Nemesis Known as THE WEATHER

Um, do you see that below readers?  THAT is a patch of blue sky.  In Portland.  In JANUARY.  I wasn't the only one out there taking a picture.
