Enter the fourth dimension

[smeddley]

...of itch. Mr. Smeddley decided we needed to work out in the backyard (read: he needed to mow and I needed to suffer with him!) and despite the bug spray... A few mosquitoes drew blood. Proof that it can always get worse.

Also, a few flies followed us in as we were packing stuff up, and they're following me. No, I'm not crazy - they followed me from downstairs up to my bathroom, then into the laundry room, and now into my office. ARGH! So annoying.

I think I've decided to wait on Twilight until I get a copy of the book. I moved up to 7 on the holds list today, so hopefully it won't be long. The narrator of the audio book really is making it worse.

Can I call in to work itchy and sleep deprived? *sigh* Probably not. I have too much to do tomorrow, intern starting and all that, plus a lot of lunch plans. Oh, hey, want to hear a story about how appreciated and noticed I am at work?

[Boss, Me, and another girl were having a conversation about people being hard of hearing. I mention that I was blessed - or cursed, depending on how you looked at it - with quite good hearing, it's just that my eyesight was horrendous.]

Me: But at least I got my eyes fixed.
Boss: You wear contacts?
Me [staring at him]: No, I had Lasik.
Boss: Really? When?
Me: About 5 years ago.
Boss: You were working here at the time? [note: I've been there 10 years]
Me: Um, yes. I went to Topeka to have it done, got horribly car sick, one of my eyes was a bit swollen for awhile...
Boss: I don't remember that. When was it?
Me: About 5 years ago. When I sat where {...} sits now.
Boss: You sat there?
Me: Uh, yeah.
Boss: I thought you went straight from that cube to your office.
Me: No, actually, I never sat there [the cube right outside his door], I sat where {...} sits.
Boss: Oh, right. But you sat where {...} sits? Really?
Me: Yeah, it was when {...} had my office.
Boss: Really?
Me [calls to co-worker]: Remember when I sat over there?
Co-worker: Yes.
Boss: Huh.

I feel so speckled and appreciated!

EDIT: I also forgot to mention that I picked up another skein of yarn at lunch. It was chunky and bright and obnoxious and I love it. Mr. Smeddley thinks it's... a little loud. BUT! I finished off those two scarves over the weekend so this last week I'm -2 +1 = -1! So I'm only up, what, a dozen overall? :D

Nah, skip the book, move on. I did enjoy it as a light fun read, but reading shinga's snarky summary, I have to admit it's pretty bad if you actually pay attention to it.
