Randomness Abounds

Found More HIMYM :)

2012-05-19T08:46:15Z

1:35 AM

- Finished logging 12:50 AM (20 minutes), got ready for bed and finished surfing and everything, and then finally went to sleep at 1:40... Blah, so late! :(
- Woke up whenever Ryan left to go to work, and then woke up on my own around 11:35.. I feel like I drifted in and out of sleep after that until Thomas texted around 1:00, and then I was checking facebook/twitter/google reader until about 2:00... :X Considered trying to fall back asleep but couldn't, so I got up at 2:30. >_> Heh. Got ready and was gonna go find some food, but Ryan said he would be home at 4:35 and he hadn't eaten lunch yet.. so I decided to wait. But he read the wrong train schedule and actually wouldn't be back until 4:55. -_-;; Boooo, that's like dinner time! >:/ But it was already 3:45 by the time he found out, and I still hadn't found food yet, blaaaah. >_< And if I ate then, then I wouldn't be hungry when he got back. :/ And I was already too hungry/dizzy to drive up to SF and back on an empty stomach. :P
- So I waited... surfed around and caught up, and then was trying to find a TV show on Netflix or Hulu that I wanted to watch/catch up on, but nothing was on either of those services! >:/ Eventually left around 4:50 to go pick up Ryan, but his train was late. -_- Got in around 5:00 or so instead (practically dinner time! -_-), and I drove us to Americano Deli. :P Long wait for sandwiches, but it was really good. :X I got the "San Mateo" sandwich, which had roast beef, turkey, avocado, havarti cheese (couldn't even taste any cheese actually :X), their "Americano slaw" and the Godfather sauce.. Mmm. The dressing on the slaw might be a little much though, so I dunno if I want slaw next time... but it was still really good. :X
- We both only ate half, and then we left and I stopped by Ocha to get myself a milk tea. ;P I dropped Ryan off at the corner so he could walk home first, but the milk tea place was surprisingly quick. I got my drink before I finished putting away my change. :X I probably got home around 6:00 maybe...? Or earlier? :X Ryan was already logging into D3, which I'm pretty sure he played all night... I complained on FB about not being able to watch TV shows, and got new site recommendations. Yay! :) So after I caught up again, I spent all evening watching season 7 of HIMYM. YAY! :D I got through episodes 1-12 tonight... Heh, half the season in one night. :X And I wasn't sure if I was feeling hungry again or not, but around 12:15 I figured I should eat, so I had the other half of my sandwich from earlier... >_> Ryan had his other half sooo much earlier. :P And even had some of mine. -_- But yeah, still good. :P I ate that while watching episode 12, and then took a break and watched a video of some D3 kill with Ryan... I did understand what was going on. He even said it was boring after it ended, meh. ;P And then I got back online, caught up again, and then started logging. :X
- Tomorrow is Sunday... Gonna sleep in, eat, watch more (the rest of?) HIMYM, and then I think Ryan is raiding so I'll just eat and then sleep again. :P Don't have very big plans... just the way I like it. ;P
- Still need to get ready for bed and finish surfing a little bit, and then it is bed time. Mmm, getting pretty tired... my eye has been twitching, I think that's a sign. -_-

Olive oil, night all.

HIMYM Marathon :P

2012-05-18T07:47:41Z

12:30 AM

- Finished logging 9:40 PM (20 minutes), showered and got ready for bed and finished my shower routine and dried my hair and finished catching up... and then went to sleep at 11:45. Not very early, but still before midnight at least? >_>
- Alarm went off at 7:49, got up at 8:14, got ready, left at 8:44, dropped Ryan off at Caltrain, got to work at 8:58, checked stuff, and went up at 9:08.
- Went through a few emails first and then Thomas showed up at 9:40. :P His laptop still wasn't ready yet though, so he just went back to filing and I was entering the tax invoices, and then entered all of the wires for the week.. There were like 8 of them. >_> That was pretty much all of the work I had to do today though. :P After that I was trying to help get Thomas' stuff up and running.. They set him up with only his own email and Lync, and that was pretty much it. -_-; Danny installed Adobe Acrobat for him, but it doesn't seem to work like mine... :( I figured out how to add him to the scanner by myself. :P And I had to send helpdesk tickets to request Oracle access, AP inbox access, printer access, and F drive access... All of which Rinky ALREADY requested when she filled out his paperwork, but nobody did it?? -_-;;; Bleh. And then I didn't really have much to do so I was typing up a quick outline of procedures for things that Thomas will be doing. I can expand on them later if I have to. >_>
- Took lunch 12:00-12:45 with Sam, Donnice, Chris, Yu Jin, Brian and Thomas (although Yu Jin and Chris left early). And then after that I finished typing up the attachments-in-Oracle procedure since Priya gave him Oracle access... and then went to go train Thomas. :P And that's when I figured out he didn't have access to the F drive (so he couldn't FIND the files to attach -_-;;;), and he didn't have printer access either.. And I don't know how to find the printer on Windows 7. -_- My laptop has XP. :/ So that's also why his Adobe is behaving differently, probably. -_-;;; So bleh. Kind of another day wasted. :/ Except he was doing filing all day. ;P And yeah.. I left the mail for him to do later and didn't want to go through the AP inbox and print stuff... so I ended up leaving at 2:55. :P Everyone else left around 2:00 or 2:30. -_- And Rinky left before we even got back from lunch. :P Thomas probably left right at 3:00. ;P
- I got home around 3:05, and then got online and was just surfing around catching up on stuff... I reeaaally wanted to take a nap, but once I was done catching up I ended up watching more HIMYM season 6 instead. :P And then Ryan called me at 6:45 cause he was outside trying to fix his car... it died again. >_< The spot next to him was open so he had me go down and park (backwards) next to him to try to jump it.. Didn't work. >:/ Gave up at 7:15, and he brought his stuff back up (and washed his hands >_>) and then we left again and I drove us across the street to Denny's for dinner. -_-;; I wanted to get milk tea after, but I was way too full from pancakes... Seriously, nothing else on their menu looks that good, and I generally don't like pancakes! >:/ But pancakes with white chocolate chips in them are something else. >_>
- Anyway, we probably got home around 8:30, and then I did more catching up Ryan just played D3 all night. ;P And I watched the REST of HIMYM season 6. >_> Heh. Now the ending of season 7 (that I saw on TV this week) makes so much more sense! :X Ryan watched the end with me, and then went to bed around 12:20 cause he's WORKING tomorrow... -_- And then I caught up again, and then started logging.
- Tomorrow is Saturday. I may very well still be in bed by the time Ryan comes home from work (2:00-ish?). >_> I just plan to sleep all day, and figure out what show to watch next... and that's about it. :P
- Still need to get ready for bed and finish surfing and whatever else.. and then it's bed time. So sleepy. T_T

Busy Busy Work :P

2012-05-18T04:40:02Z

9:20 PM

- Finished logging 10:40 PM (20 minutes), got ready for bed and finished surfing and stuff, and then went to sleep at 11:25... Nice and early!
- May have been too early though... :X I slept pretty much straight through the night, and when the alarm went off at 7:49 I was in the middle of a dream and woke up nice and groggy. >_< Blah. Middle of a REM cycle or something, bleh. :( Checked stuff and actually fell back asleep before my second alarm went off at 8:10. T_T Ryan got up and left me, so I stayed in bed till 8:21 I think. -_- Meh. Got ready and Ryan biked himself to the train station, and I finished getting ready and left at... 9:00?? OMG, how do I take so long when Ryan isn't rushing me? -_-;;; Got to work at 9:12 and went up around 9:20? -_-
- I checked emails all morning and was saving/printing invoices since Elena is out today and tomorrow, and Thomas may or may not have a working laptop tomorrow... -_- So yeah, I was just doing that until 11:00, and then we had a G&A meeting. :X Roxy talked about the results from an outside research project about how to improve the UI of the Citibank interface (outside vendor is Quonundrums... who I pay :P). It was pretty interesting, actually. We ended around 11:50, and I printed a few more things before we took lunch at 12:00. It was me, Sam, Marc, Dane, Brian, Chris and Yu Jin... And since Marc was with us, once we were done eating and kinda ran out of stuff to talk about, then we all went back to work...at 12:35. >_> So early. :( I checked facebook/twitter on my phone first though, and then went back to work around 12:50. ;P
- I did more inbox stuff, and some more dev testing, and other emails... And then I spent some time stuffing all of the checks into envelopes, since Elena wasn't there. -_-;; And I gave those to Nicole to mail, unsealed. ;P And then after that I received a bunch of PO's before I finally started entering invoices around 3:00 I guess...? :X At least I got through all of the invoices I had (that weren't waiting on PO's). >_> I think I entered 17 today. :P Yay. And I put that on Thomas' desk to show him how to attach stuff tomorrow. :X
- Finally left right at 5:00, and got home around 5:15. I caught up on facebook and twitter, and was mostly through google reader before I left again around 6:35 to go meet Ryan for dinner. ;P We went to The Counter tonight, and got seated by the same hostess at the same table and had the same waitress as last time... She recognized us. >_> I got a 2/3 lb-er instead of 1/3 so I could have leftovers, and the guy who brought out our food tried to give mine to Ryan cause it was the bigger one... And when Ryan told him it was mine, the guy looked soooo confused... :P
- After we finished eating, we probably left around 7:25 and got home around 7:30? :P I caught up on stuff again and then around 8:00 watched episodes 9 through 11 of HIMYM season 6. ;P I'm going through this pretty fast... Half hour episodes are so quick! :X And yeah, then after that I did a little more catching up, and then started logging. :P
- Tomorrow is Friday, YAY. I have work 9:00 to whenever... sometime early. ;P Thomas will also be back in again though (he said 9:30... we'll see), so I get to do more training with him... assuming his computer is up and running and ready. >_> And then after work... I will most likely finish watching season 6 of HIMYM and then have nothing else to do. >_> But sleep. :P
- Still need to shower and get ready for bed and everything... and then it's bed time. Still want to sleep early today, even if it was a terrible time waking up. ;P I'm tired!

Olive oil, night all.

Thomas' First Day >_>

2012-05-17T05:41:18Z

10:20 PM

- Finished logging 10:50 PM (25 minutes), got ready for bed and finished surfing around and everything, and then went to sleep at 11:40... Not *too* bad. :X
- Alarm went off at 7:49, but I think I'd been awake since like 7:15. -_-;;; Checked stuff and got up at 8:12, got ready, left at 8:51 (cause Ryan read there was another Caltrain accident and the train would be late... -_-), dropped Ryan off at Caltrain, and then got to work at 9:07. >:/ Checked stuff and went up around 9:15.
- Ate while checking mail, and then started the check run... And then THOMAS SHOWED UP... At 10:03, haha. He was late. :P I picked him up from the front desk and then gave him a tour of the place and introduced him around. Some guy I DON'T EVEN KNOW saw us in the kitchen and said "... He must be your brother." And Thomas introduced himself. But I have no idea who that guy is. >_> Heh. :P And yeah, then I took him to Michelle to get him his paperwork, and let him do that while I was working on the check run some more... :X And after he was done with his paperwork, I got him started on the filing project that Elena thought of... Go through all of the 2011 files and make sure everything is in the right folder, and in the right order, and if a folder is too full then split it. :P So that's what he was doing the rest of the day. :X
- I was matching invoices and checks until it was time for lunch. I ate with Sam, Donnice, Yu Jin, Chris, Junko, Brian, Thomas... Christy... and Dane. >_> Christy didn't need table space. :P And Marc joined us too, but sat at a different table all by himself. :P Thomas showed me up by bringing cheesecake that he made with Maggie, and everyone was like "OMG, are you actually related??" cause everyone knows I don't cook. :P MEH! Whatever. ;P But Thomas also did my dishes for me when we finished, hahaha. :X Yay, intern! ;P (I jokingly asked him to do my dishes too when he was doing his, but then Priya came by and asked a questions so while I was answering he took my dishes from me and washed them. ;P ...I dried? :X)
- We probably stuck around until about 1:00, and then went back to work... I finished the check run stuff and left it on Marc's desk, and then almost had nothing to do... :X I did a few emails and was testing more approval stuff in Dev for Priya, and then I asked Elena if she would have time today to save everything in the AP inbox before she left, since she's taking tomorrow and Friday off... She was pretty busy though, so she just printed out the stuff that she had already saved, and I went through and saved/printed the rest. And then after that... I think I was doing more dev testing for a bit, and then everyone started leaving around 4:00. >_> (Chris especially... cause Rinky wasn't in today, and she was gone as soon as Sam and Donnice left. :P) Thomas left at 4:00 too, so he'd have time to go home before his 6pm class. >_> And then I had to finish a few things (attaching approvals and clearing everything from the AP inbox that Elena gave me), and then I left early too... at 4:45. -_- So not that early. :P I was the last GL person there though, heh. :X
- Got home right around 5:00, and then just got online and was catching up on stuff. I got through google reader first, and then was kinda going through twitter while watching Smash in a different window. :P Season finale from Monday! I'll probably keep watching this show when it comes back. :P Ryan got home somewhere in the middle of that, and was just playing TOR and D3 all night. :P Which was fine, cause once I finished Smash, I finished catching up on facebook/twitter, and then found out that HIMYM season 6 (which I stopped watching after the first 2 episodes) is on Netflix streaming. :X I watched episodes 3 through 8. :P And then it was 10:00, so I stopped. ;( Caught up on stuff again, and then started logging.
- Tomorrow is Thursday. I have work 9:00 to whenever, and then home and more TV and dinner and more sleep.
- Still need to get ready for bed and finish surfing and whatever else... and then it's bed time.

Projects... And Glee

2012-05-16T05:49:46Z

10:25 PM

- Finished logging 10:45 PM (15 minutes), got ready for bed and finished surfing and everything... And it was still 12:20 by the time I went to sleep. :(:(:( How did that happen?? >_< Slept well until I woke up in the middle of the night screaming, cause Ryan had stabbed me with his sharp, uncut toenail. >:/ >:/ >:/ I have a scab now. >:O And it took forever to fall asleep again after cause I was so pissed off. >:/
- Alarm went off at 7:49 and I was exhausted. >_< Checked stuff but then went back to sleep... And kept snoozing. >:P Alarm went off at 8:10, and snoozed through that.. didn't get up until 8:21. And then I got ready , and Ryan took my keys to get his bike and biked himself to Caltrain since I wasn't gonna make it on time. I ended up leaving around 8:52 I think, and got to work at 9:03, and went up at 9:10... Not any earlier than normal. -_-
- I ate while checking emails, and then I almost didn't have anything to do... :X But then Elena gave me yesterday's batch, so I checked the attachments. ;P And then I was working on projects the rest of the morning, like looking through the legal file for Sam, cleaning up the files in the AP folder on the shared drive, and starting to enter invoices in Dev to test for sending for approval. :X I took lunch 12:00-1:00... Donnice and Sam had gone out with Jenny, Elena and Long for whatever reason. O_o And Yu Jin, Chris and Junko left to go to the market to pick up food... and there was a products (or something) meeting in the kitchen area. >:/ So I ended up eating at a table outside with Dane and Brian. Kinda weird me and two of the guys. :P And it was a little windy/chilly outside, but it was fine. Steve also came to tell us embarrassing stories about Dane when he got back from lunch, which was pretty hilarious. ;P (But he called me Jessie. -_-) Yu Jin, Chris and Junko saw us but didn't join us when they got back cause it was too chilly outside. :P
- After lunch I did more with the dev testing of invoice approvals... Junko didn't get the email, but Yu Jin and Sam did.. Sam's rejection took a while. And then I sent one to myself and didn't get it. -_-;;; Apparently I had to change my options. :P But one of the links in the email wasn't working, so Priya will have to work on fixing that... :X But yeah. After that then I entered 2 invoices that needed to be paid this week, and did the batch reports for yesterday and today... and started the check run... and then was going through the invoices on hold/AP Aging reports. -_- And finally left at 5:10. :/ I thought I didn't have much to do and would be able to go home early today. :P
- I went straight to the Caltrain station and got there around 5:25. :P Checked my phone while waiting for Ryan's 5:38 train, and then drove the both of us home. :P I just got online and caught up on stuff before I ordered us delivery for dinner around 7:00, and then I took a shower around 7:20. Ryan was raiding. ;P I finished most of my shower routine, and then watched Glee 8:00-10:00 (2 episodes tonight). :X I actually enjoyed both of tonight's episodes a lot, and almost cried many times.. >_> Also dried my hair and ate and did dishes and caught up on my phone during commercials. :P And then after that I folded some laundry, got back online, caught up more and checked comics, and then started logging. :P
- Tomorrow is Wednesday... I have work 9:00 to whenever, and THOMAS IS STARTING AS AN INTERN. AT YODLEE. >_> I think he's gonna be the first intern to start this year, cause Michelle hasn't had time to go through all of the resumes, but Rinky and I wanted an intern ASAP. :P And I know someone. >_> So yeah. I told him to get in at 10:00 (to give me time to settle in/eat first :P), and then I guess Michelle C will give him paperwork to fill out, and then.. I get to give him work. Bwahahaha. ;D Although he won't have a laptop yet, so it'll mostly just be projects/filing until Friday or Monday. :P Elena thought of a good/long project though, so that should last him the day..? And I'll just be busy with the check run. :P And then after work... home and Smash and eat and sleep. ;P
- Still need to get ready for bed and finish surfing around and whatever else... And then it's bed time.

Sudden "Return" of HIMYM and House >_>

2012-05-15T05:47:25Z

10:30 PM

- Finished logging 11:00 PM (15 minutes), got ready for bed and finished putting away my laundry and finished surfing, and then finally went to sleep at 11:55... Except it took forever to fall asleep cause Ryan wasn't tired and was watching TV... and then he strangled me with the sheet, and kicked me with his toenails at 1am... >_< Blah. And I just didn't sleep well at all after that. :( Tossing and turning all night. >_<
- Alarm went off at 7:49, checked stuff, got up at 8:15, got ready, left at 8:45, dropped Ryan off at Caltrain, got to work at 9:01, checked stuff, went up around 9:10.
- Checked emails while eating, and then remembered that I had to do an emergency check run today before the mail went out at 10:30. >_> Oops. Well, by remembered I mean I had set a reminder to go off at 9:00, but I didn't remember why I set it so early and pushed it back to 10:00... and THEN I remembered it had to go out today before the mail got picked up. -_-;;; I think I got it out at 10:00. :P And yeah... then after that I went through the last two invoices batches from last week and checked the attachments, and then did the invoice batch spreadsheets... And then went through the AP inbox for stuff that Elena printed out this morning. :X Took lunch 12:00-1:00 and didn't have any food! >_> So I made myself a turkey sandwich with guacamole... it wasn't too bad. >_> I ate with Donnice, Yu Jin, Chris, Junko, Brian, Dane, Christy, and Marc... yeah, there were a lot of us today. :X
- After lunch I started entering invoices... I entered 10 and was caught up and started saving/printing out approvals from the AP inbox, and then Elena gave me the mail that came today. ;P Boooo. So I sent those out for approval, and then also entered those as well. >_> I think I got to 20 invoices today. :P Maybe. :X And then by the time I was done with that, it was time to go. ;P
- I left right around 5:00 and stopped by the Americano Deli & Grill, which is a sandwich shop I found on Yelp that I wanted to try. :X I got an avocado cheesesteak, and an avocado chicken sandwich... Took a while to make, even though there was only one guy ahead of me, and I got my order first. :X Got home around 5:30 and ate right away cause it smelled good. >_> I think this shop is a winner. :D The special garlic sauce was a liiiittle spicy, but tolerable. :X And avocado in cheesesteak just makes it that much creamier. :X Mmm. And then after I finished eating I was just sitting around catching up on stuff... But there were issues with Caltrain today (in the morning too, Ryan said it was behind... in the afternoon a train hit someone again >_<), so Ryan wanted me to pick him up from the Millbrae Bart. :/ He got on a 6:20 train in SF, and I looked and saw it would be in Millbrae at 6:50. -_- So I left around 6:25 to allow for traffic, which wasn't too bad until I actually got off the freeway. ;P Getting over the tracks to El Camino was the worst. >:/ But I still got there a few minutes early, and Ryan texted to say his Bart got stuck in a tunnel at the airport, so he was even later. -_-;;;
- I think he finally showed up around 7:10. :( I drove us home and he ate while I continued to surf around, and then around 8:00 I watched the season finale of How I Met Your Mother... not that I've seen ANY episode from this season at all. >_> But I heard on the radio that the finale was tonight, and didn't have anything else to do. :P And then I also watched the pre-series finale of House (which ends NEXT WEEK... Like, SERIES ends, not season :O !!!!) from 9:00-10:00.. And I could've watched the finale of Smash too, after that, but I figured I can save that for another night when I'm bored... Wednesday, probably. :P And then I got back online, caught up on everything, and then started logging. :P
- Tomorrow is Tuesday. I have work 9:00 to whenever, and then home and eat and Glee... and sleep. :P
- Still need to get ready for bed and finish surfing and whatever else, and then it's time to go to bed. Yay, sleep. So tired. T_T

Late Day, GoT, and Laundry

2012-05-14T05:58:21Z

10:45 PM

- Finished logging 1:15 AM (15 minutes), got ready for bed and finished surfing around and everything, and then went to sleep at 2:00.. so late! :(
- Woke up around 12:00 again, but managed to fall back asleep this time. :P Ryan tried to wake me up a little before 1:00, but I was determined to sleep in later! >:/ Finally woke up around 2:25 on my own, and then started checking stuff on my phone... I got up around 3:10, got ready, and then Ryan and I left to go get food... Late-breakfast/lunch-slash-early-dinner. >_> Heh. He wanted to go to Quiznos, but we ended up going to The Habit instead. Yum. :P I got a teriyaki burger, sweet potato fries, AND a strawberry shake... such a fatty. >_> But that was pretty much my only meal of the day, so whatever. :X
- We got back around 4:40 I guess, and then Ryan got online and got ready to raid. ;P I caught up on stuff for a while and then called my Mom for mother's day, and because she/Rebecca emailed me about a family vacation/cruise in September.. :X And I wanted to ask Mom if she was free (of course >_>) on the Saturday that Ryan's parents will be here and free for dinner. :X Ryan's idea. ;P Called my Dad too, and then after that just got back online for a while... I eventually started showering around 8:15, and then I switched some laundry and dried my hair, and then watched Game of Thrones with Ryan from 9:00-10:00. :X And then after that I got back online, surfed around, watched Ryan play some SC, started logging... and then remembered my laundry, blaaah. -_-;;;;
- Tomorrow is Monday, start of a new week. :( Boooo. I have work 9:00 to whenever, and then home and TV and eat and whatever... and then sleep. :P
- Still need to get ready or bed and finish surfing and finish my laundry... and then it's bed time. -_-;;;;

Home for Mother's Day

2012-05-12T08:17:09Z

1:00 AM

- Finished logging 12:05 AM (20 minutes), got ready for bed and finished surfing around and everything else... and then eventually went to sleep at 1:05. :/
- Woke up around 12:00 on my own... Ryan was still in bed and asleep! Weird. :X I didn't feel like I could fall asleep again so I started checking stuff, and then Ryan eventually woke up. ;P I got up around 12:40 and kinda started getting ready, but then I started to feel sleepy again... -_- Didn't really start getting ready until 1:15 when Ryan also got up to get ready. ;P
- We left around 1:45 to go get food... I had a craving for cheesesteak, so we tried the "Plaza Gourmet Deli" or something like that, which is near the Lucky by the Japanese place we went to before. It was decent, but not quite what I had in mind... But they had avocado, which was good! :X Will try a different one next time, but this one isn't ruled out for sure. ;P After that we stopped through Lucky for a few things, and then stopped by the Baskin Robbins in the same lot cause Ryan wanted a smoothie... >_> I got ice cream. :D I had a craving for ice cream yesterday, what timing! O:)
- I think we probably left around 3:00 and then came home... I surfed around and caught up on everything and had originally planned to leave early to go home... but I felt tired. :( So I ended up taking a nap around 4:00 instead. ;P Alarm went off at 5:00 and abruptly woke me up in the middle of a dream. O_o I really was tired. :P And I kept snoozing for a while until Mom called to finalize plans, and then I stayed awake checking stuff after that. ;P I eventually got up around 5:40, and then got ready to go and left around 5:55 or so. Ryan didn't come with me, but that's Ok.
- I drove straight out to Alameda to meet my family at the Zen Lounge.. We were originally gonna go to Sushi House, but couldn't get a reservation. ;P So yeah. I parked in the parking garage and probably got to the restaurant around 6:35 or 6:40? We were supposed to be there at 6:30, and Dad and Erica were the only ones there when I got there. ;P Mom, Rebecca and Thomas showed up maybe 5 minutes after me. ;P We ordered a bunch of stuff since it was a tapas/small plate kind of place, and the food was decent... not sure if I would want to go back though. ;P We also got some "Japanese toast" for dessert, which was a little weird. ;P And then we gave Mom her mother's day gifts/cards/etc. Thomas and Maggie had made a card for Mom that had all of our baby/kid pictures on the front, and it made her cry. >_> I got her a See's candy certificate from me and Ryan. :P
- I think we probably left around 8:30, and then I went home for a bit... I checked my mail (not too much... I got my ballot but haven't gotten my 401k rollover check yet! :/) and played with the dogs for a while. Awww, the dogs. :D And then put a few things away in my room before I played with the dogs more, said good bye, and left around 9:55. ;P Stopped to get gas on the way home cause Dad said gas prices are gonna be going up... :( My car still said I had about 100 miles left/a quarter tank, but I figured it would be easier now than on a weekday when the station is crowded. :P And then I finally got home around 10:35...?
- Got online and caught up on stuff while Ryan was playing SC still.. ;P He was doing that the ENTIRE time I was gone. -_- And then around 11:30 he asked if I wanted to watch more Heroes. O_o Uh, sure? We watched season 3, episodes 2-4, and then stopped after that. We watched the episode where I started to change my mind about Sylar. :D But Ryan still likes to make fun of it all. ;P And yeah, then after that I just got back online around 12:45, caught up on everything, and then started logging.
- Tomorrow is Sunday... Gonna sleep in, eat, relax, and then ... ::shrug:: Eventually go to sleep early, I hope. ;P
- Still need to get ready for bed and finish surfing around a little bit... and then it's bed time.

Olive oil, night all.

Another Exhausted/Early Friday

2012-05-11T07:04:56Z

11:45 PM

- Finished logging 9:00 PM (25 minutes), got ready for bed and showered and finished my shower routine and dried my hair and finished surfing around... and then went to sleep at 11:25. Early, but not as early as I was hoping. -_-;
- Alarm went off at 7:49 but I was soooo tired I ignored it and actually fell back asleep. Ryan's alarm went off at 8:00 and then I started checking stuff, and my second alarm went off at 8:10... But I ignored it again, and didn't get up until 8:24. T_T Blaaah, late. :/ Got ready and left around 8:54, dropped Ryan off for the 9:02 train, and got to work at 9:10. -_- Checked facebook/twitter only (no TT), and then went up around 9:15. :P
- I went through emails first, and then had to make a few calls requesting invoices, and was doing some random chatting cause it was Friday, and there were so few of us there, and nobody really felt like working... >_> It was just me, Yu Jin and Dane when I got there. And then Chris showed up (at 9:30! Early for her! O_o) before Bryan or Junko showed up... Heh. And everyone else was off or WTH for the day, on our side. :P Elena and Long were there on the other side. ;P
- And Chris reeaally didn't feel like working... She chatted as much as me and Yu Jin would let her (we were actually trying to get work done so we could leave early.... Chris was just waiting to leave early :P), and then she was shopping online... and then at 11:00 she left (with Yu Jin) to go to the post office to mail her mother's day card, and then go to Whole Foods to pick up lunch... and grocery shop. -_-;;; I was entering invoices while they were gone. ;P They got back right at 12:00 and Chris complained about how she paid $16 for her salad, cause they charge by weight and she didn't know that?? But she WORKED there before! -_-;;;; And yeah... I took lunch 12:00-1:15 with Yu Jin, Chris and Junko. The guys all went out to eat around 12:30 or so. :P And we just sat around and talked... well, Chris did most of the talking... and most of it was about shopping, and then about sex. -_- Uhhh... is that really work-appropriate conversation? >_> We are not your girlfriends, we are your coworkers! -_-;;;; Bleh. And then we finally went "back to work" although Chris left at 1:30. -_-;;;; Yu Jin left around 1:45, and I dunno when Junko left. :X The guys got back around 2:00 though, and I was the only one still there. ;P And then I finished entering my invoices, and left at 2:45. :P At least I got stuff DONE today! -_-;; (16 invoices)
- Got home around 2:55, and then was just surfing around catching up on stuff until about 4:40...? I was gonna go take a nap, but then I got IMed and ended up chatting instead. ;P And then I also remembered I had TV to catch up on, so I watched Castle and Smash on Hulu until Ryan got home around 6:30 or whatever. And then after I finished my TV I caught up on surfing again... and THEN went to go lie down around 7:30. -_- I was tired and wanted to take a nap, but I couldn't actually fall asleep... So I was mostly just resting listening to some ghetto teens screaming at the pool. -_- And then Ryan turned the lights on at 9:00 and wanted to eat. ;P He ended up going to Taco Bell, and I got up after he left and started eating my salad that I ordered for lunch yesterday (before we went out for Korean BBQ).
- He got back and I finished eating, and then he finished what I couldn't and we started playing Assassin's Creed... Ryan bought it used a while ago, but we just never started it. The controls seemed kind of hard though, and we didn't get very far. I think Ryan is also too impatient for this game, cause he likes to run/gallop around and knock people over, but the point of the game is the EXACT OPPOSITE and you're supposed to go slow and blend in... -_- So I dunno how far we'll get with this. :/ It was definitely frustrating to watch.. >_< I heard it's supposed to be good though... :( And yeah, after that we stopped around 11:20 I guess, and then I just got back online, caught up surfing again, and then started logging.
- Tomorrow is Saturday... Gonna wake up late, eat lunch, sit around, and then go home sometime in the afternoon. We're going out for Mother's day dinner at 6:00 in Alameda, apparently... Fun. -_- And then after that I'll go back home for a bit, and then come back to San Mateo. ;P Not sure if Ryan is coming with or not yet.. we'll see. And yeah, then just sit around and then sleep. :P
- Still need to get ready for bed and finish surfing... and then it's bed time. I hope I can fall asleep tonight. I'm so exhausted. :(

Olive oil, night all.

Free Lunch, but Otherwise Bad Day

2012-05-11T03:58:09Z

8:35 PM

- Went to sleep sometime around midnight, and didn't have a hard time falling asleep at all... but I woke up at what felt like 5:00 (not sure what time it really was), and just kept tossing and turning as I watched the room/window slowly grow lighter... -_- Blaaah. :(:(:( Alarm went off at 7:30 and then I eventually got up, got ready, packed, and left around 8:25. :P
- Still got to work right around 9:00, checked stuff, and then went up around 9:08. :P I checked email first, and then was doing MORE W-8 research before I started stuffing checks that Marc signed into envelopes... I figured I had the time, and then that would give Elena a break. >_> That took a while though... kind of a waste of time, but I needed something mindless to do. -_- After that then I ended up going out to lunch around 11:40 with Yu Jin, Chris, Junko, Marc, Christy and Dane... :X Cause Chris wanted Korean BBQ. :P We ended up at a place in downtown San Mateo, which was decent. Took a while though... :X And I only ate half of my food, of course. ;P But Marc treated us all, which was really nice! It wasn't even a special occasion or anything, just out to lunch. :X I think we got back at 1:10. And then I went through emails again, checked the attachments of Tuesday's invoice batch, and then around 3:00 started entering invoices for today...
- I got kinda distracted with other things though... Like I found out that Michelle (Costa) sent Thomas an internship offer letter today, finally. :P Rinky and I have been trying to get it going all week, because of the little power trip Nicole (the receptionist) pulled. >_> She emailed me last week asking us to seal our own envelopes for the AP checks, but Lara always sealed them for me before, and Nicole has been sealing them for Elena for months! And all of a sudden she "didn't want to do it" anymore?? So Elena freaked out cause she doesn't have time to do it, and I said I'd ask Rinky about it... And Rinky asked Marc to talk to Michelle (Mitchell), cause Marc thought it was hilarious that the receptionist didn't want to do her job... >_> Except he didn't ask Michelle, so Rinky asked again today... and Michelle (C) talked to Nicole and apparently I had given Nicole "500 checks" to send out, and then Elena gave her "60 more checks" and she got overwhelmed.. First off, I gave her 273 letters to mail, and there were no more than 40 checks last week... ;P And the letters are not a weekly thing. And how is sealing and stamping envelopes OVERWHELMING?! -_-;; It's like the most boring thing to do ever! Is it too hard for her? :P But yeah, apparently it really pissed off Elena to be asked to seal all of the envelopes, and she had no problem writing a little note to Nicole (I didn't read it) asking her to seal the envelopes to mail out tomorrow morning after I told her we got the green light from Michelle to give them to Nicole unsealed. ;P
- But yeah... All of the drama with the receptionist just made me and Rinky push to get an intern in here faster, so if they told us we had to seal our own envelopes, we could have the intern do it. >_> So Thomas got the official offer letter/email today. :P They want him to start next Wednesday. :X Yay for him.
- So yeah, I was a little distracted all of today. ;P I finally left right around 5:00, after entering only 10 invoices today. :/ Got home around 5:15 and just got on the computer and was catching up on stuff until Ryan got home around 6:30. We left right away and actually walked across the street to eat at Denny's... I had a pancake breakfast. >_> And then after that I stopped by the Chase to deposit a few checks, and then we walked back... I asked Ryan to run ahead to hit the crosswalk button so we could catch the light, but he STILL THINKS that crosswalks automatically say "WALK" ALL THE TIME, and pushing the button is just something for the pedestrian to do while they wait. WTF, REALLY?! Buttons are there to let the signal know someone slower than a car wants to cross, and to give the person time to cross... Otherwise it'll change when there's no more traffic going in that direction! WWTTFF. So he completely ignored my request and we missed the light, and then he started arguing with me about how crosswalks work... >_< Uh, we didn't push the button, and there was no walk signal for us?! Doesn't that explain it!? >:/ I was soooo pissed! Why is he arguing about how crosswalks always work when it was SO OBVIOUS that he was wrong! >:O And then he just walked the other way against the light, and I waited for the crosswalk to go full circle. >_< UGH.
- Got home around 7:40 I guess... Pissed. >:/ Just got online, and finished surfing around, and then logged for yesterday, and then logged for today.
- Tomorrow is Friday... Good. >:/ I have work 9:00 to whenever, and I'll probably leave early if I can. :P After that I have a few TV shows to catch up on, and then... no real plans. Sleep and relax. ;P
- Still need to get ready for bed and shower and finish surfing later... and then it's bed time. >_< I am tired and cranky, and need to get to sleep. >:/

Home for a Night

2012-05-11T03:36:12Z

8:30 PM (5/10/12)

- Finished logging 10:05 PM (15 minutes), showered and got ready for bed and packed and finished surfing, and then went to sleep at 12:10... :/
- Alarm went off at 7:49, got up at 8:12, got ready, left at 8:44, dropped Ryan off at Caltrain, got to work at 9:00, checked stuff, and went up at 9:10...
- Email was down for most of the morning... :/ So I was gonna start the check run, but Marc had 2 questions and was working from home.. And I couldn't email him the invoices he wanted to see. -_-;;;; Christy gave me his number and I texted him, and then he called me to give the OK to pay, and THEN I processed the check run. -_- Was just doing that all morning, along with some W-8 research... Blaaaah. Took lunch 12:10-1:05 with Sam, Donnice and Brian (and someone else?), and then after that I finished up the check run stuff and put it on Marc's desk.. not that he was going to sign them tonight. >_> After that email was mostly back, so I was going through the AP inbox, and then I finally left to go home-home around 4:10. >_> Wanted to beat traffic. :P
- I played with the dogs for a little bit, and then had dinner and was just watching a bunch of random TV downstairs with Mom while surfing around and catching up... Took a shower around 10:45, got ready for bed, took some quick log notes, and still ended up going to bed at 12:00. -_- Bleh.

Invoices and Meetings

2012-05-09T05:03:37Z

9:50 PM

- Finished logging 9:10 PM (15 minutes), showered and got ready for bed and finished surfing and everything, and then went to bed at 11:45. :( Had a little bit of a hard time falling asleep, but had a really hard time staying asleep... >_< I woke up at 4:00 because I was cold, but immediately got hot as soon as I woke up. :( Checked the time at 4:10... and again at 4:50... blaaaah. >_< Ended up checking stuff to try to get my mind to dull a little, or something. :/ Put the phone away at 5:25 and eventually fell asleep again.. and then my alarm went off at 7:49. >:/ Blaaaah, so tired! :(
- Got up at 8:13, got ready, left at 8:44, dropped Ryan off at Caltrain, got to work at 8:58.. and went up at 9:10. -_-
- I went through emails for a while.. And then I was sending out invoices for approval. I'm pretty sure I did something else this morning too, but now I can't remember. -_- I was busy, though. :P Took lunch 12:10-12:50 with Yu Jin, Chris, Sam and Rinky. And then after that I guess I started entering invoices? I was doing that until 4:00 when it was time for our postponed vendor maintenance meeting (to go over stuff that David used to do and figure out where to go from here... -_-). Sam and I got there first, and then Marc, Rinky, Santhini, Chris (IT guy) and Rajesh showed up... and finally Sunny, who called the meeting. ;P ::sigh:: Sunny tried to wrap it up around 5:00 but we still ran a little long and ended at 5:15.. :/ We weren't quite done, but at least we got through some ideas? Nothing really for me to do though, but it was good to be there and be aware of what's coming. :P
- Went back and had to finish entering 2 AMX invoices (and a third one that didn't save before I left for the meeting, so I had to re-enter it.. >_<)... And then I started the check run list, gave it to Marc, and finally left at 5:40... Blaaah. :( So late. >_< Got home around 6:00 (so much traffic just to go one exit! >:/), and then was just surfing around.. Ryan was already home and trying to raid, but that fell through... -_- So we ended up going out to dinner around 6:45. We went to BJ's, and ate a quick meal, and we were back around 7:50. I did more surfing and then watched Glee 8:00-9:00, and the season finale of New Girl 9:00-9:30... Finished checking facebook and twitter during commercials. ;P And then after that I got back online, did more surfing and stuff, and then finally started logging.
- Tomorrow is Wednesday. I have work 9:00 to whenever, and then I think I'm going home for the night. :X It's been a while... And I have some stuff to take care of. And then just hang out with family and sleep on time... I hope. -_-
- Still need to get ready for bed and shower and finish surfing and everything... and then it's bed time. :P

Free Food Monday? >_>

2012-05-08T04:10:01Z

8:55 PM

- Finished logging 10:25 PM (20 minutes), got ready for bed, finished surfing and playing games and whatever, and then finally went to bed at 12:20. -_- So late still. :(
- Alarm went off at 7:49, got up at 8:13, got ready, left at 8:44, dropped Ryan off at Caltrain, got to work at 9:00, checked stuff in the car, and went up around 9:10.
- I checked email while eating, and then was going through the AP inbox for stuff that Elena printed, and checking the attachments of the last invoice batch. I probably was doing some other stuff too, but now I can't remember... the morning went by pretty quick, though.
- We took lunch early around 11:55 cause Pauline brought in a bunch of Vietnamese sandwiches that she made for all of us (her parents own a shop). O_o I pulled out the pork intestine though... >_> Bleh. :X But otherwise it was tasty... >_> Pretty much our whole department was there too, cause we had 2 tables (7 and 8 people?). I ended up staying later with Sam, Dane and Brian before we finally went back to work around 12:45. ;P Surfed around a little, and then got back to work... :X I went to write the PO numbers on all of the paid invoices that were already filed (continuation of my project from Friday). I was just finishing that at 2:00 when Rinky came to get me cause I forgot we had a call with the bank to review the ACH payment process. I almost missed the cream puffs that Junko brought, but she saved one for me. >_>
- I was on the call until about 3:00... bleh, so long. -_- It was mostly for Priya too, and a little FYI for Rinky (and myself) at the end. :P Not like I had much else to do though, so whatever. And then after that I went through email again before I started entering the invoices that gave me from the AP inbox.. ;P I think I entered 10 today. :P Not that many... but at the end of the day she gave me the invoices from the regular mail, and there are a lot in there. T_T Meh, tomorrow. :P
- Left around 4:50 and got home around 5:05. I got online and was just catching up on everything until l left a little after 6:30 to get Ryan from the Caltrain station. There was a dead bird behind my car... I probably hit it on the way home this evening, or on the way out this morning. T_T Auuuugh, so gross! :( Cause it looks too close to my car to have been hit by someone driving behind me... :/ Blaaah. T_T
- But yeah... :( I was a minute late for Ryan's 6:38 train, and then we just went across to The Counter for dinner. So full afterwards. -_- I got their "market selection sauce" of whipped avocado.. which was spicier than I thought it would be! O_o;; ... I didn't think it would be spicy at all. :P But I didn't put too much so it was Ok. >_>
- I think we got home around 7:45, and then I just got online and was doing more surfing while Ryan was playing his games... And then once I caught up I went and started getting ready for bed around 8:40, got back online and did more surfing, and then I started logging. ;P
- Tomorrow is Tuesday... I have work 9:00 to whenever, and then home and GLEE and whatever other TV I feel like watching, and then.... sleep. :P
- Still need to shower and finish surfing and getting ready for bed... and then bed at a decent time?? :O We'll see. :P

Avengers and GoT

2012-05-07T05:27:27Z

10:05 PM

- Finished logging 12:10 AM (10 minutes), finished getting ready for bed and surfing around, and then went to sleep at 12:35... :X
- Woke up at 9:30 when Ryan's alarm went off, and then I started checking stuff when my alarm went off at 9:45. :P Got up at 10:00, got ready, and left at 10:35...
- I drove us since Ryan's car has outdated tags... blah. >_< We went to the Panera in Sunnyvale for breakfast. Got there around 11:00 and probably left at 11:15. And then I drove us to the theater in Cupertino. Had to find parking on the roof (on such a hot day :(:(:( ), and we met up with Helen around 11:30.. She was waiting outside for us with our tickets for the 11:45 showing of The Avengers, and her kids were already in the theater holding seats. She said they got there at 11:15 and we got stuck with seats in the second row... blaaaah. T_T But at least they were in the center? :/ (I TOLD Ryan it was opening weekend and it would be crowded! -_-)
- The movie itself started around 12:05, and was pretty good! The only bad part about it being so funny was that people would laugh too loud/too long, and I would miss the dialogue after a joke. ;P Plus there were a lot of kids... and seat pushing... and someone hit me in the head! >:/ WTF. This is why we don't usually go to crowded movie theaters. -_-; Meh.
- The movie ended around 2:25 I think, and we only stayed for the first mid-credit scene, although there was apparently one at the very end that we missed. :( But yeah, after that we met up at Bonjour Crepes for a late lunch. The guy there mixed up our orders so we had to wait longer... -_- But it was the middle of the day so it wasn't very crowded, at least. :P
- After that Ryan and I left around 3:35 I guess, and then I drove us back up the peninsula. ;P No ramen today, I postponed. :/ We stopped by the Sportsmart in Foster City on the way back for Ryan to get a new helmet, and then got home around 4:20 I guess? I just got online and was catching up on stuff and surfing for a while... Ryan started raiding at 5:00. ;P And I was feeling pretty tired.. and ended up taking a nap at 6:00. >_> Heh. Ryan woke me up at 7:30 though. ;( I checked more stuff before I got up around 8:15, and then was just surfing around more online. ;P Ryan finished raiding and we started watching Game of Thrones while it was on at 9:05.. we missed a bit of the beginning but oh well. :/ Ryan made us a PF Chang's frozen thing for dinner to eat while we watched... which was kind of hard to do cause this was a pretty violent/gory episode. :( And then after that ended at 10:00, I got back online, caught up, and then started logging. :P
- Tomorrow is Monday, bleh. :/ I have work 9:00 to whenever, and then home and... nothing. :X No GoT to watch since we saw it tonight, and I don't want to watch Castle or Smash while they're on and have longer commercials. ;P So hopefully I'll just go to bed on time. :P

Happy Cinco de Mayo ;P

2012-05-05T07:10:17Z

12:00 AM

- Finished logging 12:50 AM (20 minutes), got ready for bed and finished surfing and playing games and whatever, and then finally went to sleep at 1:35.. So tired. :(
- Woke up a few times in the morning... I think Ryan left around 12:30 to get food. :P I slept until he woke me up around 2:00 when he got back with food from The Habit for me. >_> I started checking stuff but couldn't get myself out of bed until 2:40... :( Got ready and reheated the food and ate around 3:00. -_-
- Checked more stuff online while I was eating, and then after that... did a little random surfing before I finished watching the rest of Downton Abbey... last 2 episodes of season 1 on Hulu, and I dunno how to find season 2. :( Booo. Got back online around 6:00 and then was just surfing around and checking random things while I was waiting for Ryan to be ready for dinner. I eventually got ready and was still waiting for him to finish playing SC. ;P And then.. I think we finally left around 8:00? :/ Went to Celia's for Cinco de Mayo, which had a MUCH shorter wait than Chevy's. >_> We both called, and Celia's said they had a 10-15 minute wait, whereas Chevy's said they had a 50-an hour wait. T_T Yeah... easy choice. :P I just wanted some guacamole after not getting enough at the Cinco de Mayo party at work. ;P Also got a single enchilada. Ryan had 2 margaritas, and was a little tipsy. -_- They also had a mariachi band going around and playing for tables, and gave out Chevy-style hats. :X Happy Cinco de Mayo! ;P
- We probably got home around 9:40.. so late! :( I got online and caught up on stuff before I went to start getting ready for bed, and then showered around 10:15. :P After that I finished getting ready for bed, finished my shower routine, dried my hair, and then got back online and was just surfing around for a while... and then finally started logging. :P
- Tomorrow is Sunday. Gotta wake up early so we can be in CUPERTINO *well before* the 11:45 showing of The Avengers that we're going to with Helen and her family.... >_< WHY SO EARLY?! :(:(:( Sigh. And then after that I think we're going to crepes for lunch, and then... I was planning to go to ramen with Janice, Kathy and Kat while I was down that way, but Ryan needs to be home for raiding and I don't want to drive him back up and then drive all the way back down again. >:/ And he can't drive separately because the tags on his car are expired and he has to wait for his smog check (which he did today) to go through before they send him new tags/registration... so his car is kind of dangerous to drive right now. >:/ So I dunno what's going to happen. :( Might have to postpone, and just sit around at home tomorrow evening while Ryan raids.. ;P Meh. And sleep early. :(
- Still need to finish getting ready for bed a little bit, and then I can go to sleep.. getting pretty tired. :/
