Mysterious Summary of Day

[livingdeb]

Zooming and slowing.
Scraping and flossing.
Cinnamony stuff in eye.
Job duty nearly removed, tragically.
January is over. Whew.
Sometimes you should diversify into exploitation.
Answering machines, you can't trust them.
Everyone look at my funny chest.
Free Tex-Mex beanie wienies.
Fourteen thousand steps.
Put down words.

Now my day sounds more interesting than it really was. Only you can't tell what I'm talking about. Heh. It's like me with poetry. What are they saying?

(It's just a fairly ordinary day for me.)

Tex Mex beanie wienies? Ugh!

btw, the "Let's Talk Colorado" ads here are amazingly bad - I am almost impressed by how the "What is LoDo?" one makes downtown Denver sound both boring and pretentious, which it is not. I suppose this is an attempt to reposition Colorado, with its outdoorsy image, as having cities with national chain shopping venues just like any other state. Is LoDo supposed to bring SoHo to mind? If so, that is just embarrassing.

They are regular Tex Mex beans, but for some reason they include sliced hot dogs as well as bacon.

My condolences on the ads. I am fortunate to be able not to read them. That LoDo/SoHo sickness is here, too. I've heard of SoCo (S. Congress) and even LoBu (lower Burnet).

You're right: poetry does obscure things... what *are* they (you... line 4?! line 8?!) saying?

Reminds me of Shakespeare. Need footnotes! :-)

[livingdeb.livejournal.com]

The footnotes would be longer than the entry and mostly not very interesting. Like the first line means I drove in rush hour traffic. To the dentist, which explains the second line. Anything in particular you're curious about?

[fraeuleinchen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, lines 4 and 8.

Is 8 about, uh, a funny slogan on your t-shirt perhaps?!

[grieve.livejournal.com]

I thought 8 was about a small box (chest) on her desk, something you might keep Tex-Mex Beanie Weenies in.

Ew! Beans in a box!

Nope it was just a t-shirt with a cartoon on it. Which my two-step teacher noticed when she volunteered me to demo something, so she told everyone to look at my funny chest.

My nearly removed job duty happened when my boss and I disagreed on whether a request counted as high priority or low priority. His point of view: when he's responded to this sort of request in the past, it has never worked out. My point of view: Someone asked me to extend my main job duty to include her grad department, which seems important, whereas most of the other job duties I've been handed in the last two years seem like a complete waste of my time and energy.

Job duty nearly removed, tragically?

[livingdeb.livejournal.com]

Tragically, because if I were going to list all my job duties, this would be in the top 5% in my opinion. And if we're just going to decide not to do stuff like that, then I have that much less motivation to show up to work every day. Most of my other job duties someone else could do (and perhaps should do, or perhaps no one should do them), but this one is just exactly what I should be doing.

Yes, I am too busy right now, but that's the wrong duty to be dropping.
