why am i at work today? Staples didn't close our office. So annoying. My snowboard is at home, begging to be used.
I have no excuse not to work bcause of the weather since I can work from home.
so i hear you were snuggling w/rob thomas of matchbox 20...
more like his wife! although i swore lauren to secrecy about that whole night, haha, it was pretty crazy
haha no...im so glad she told me. it was the raddest thing....she said they were like BFF's w/you! so awesome! seriously!
and ive got the hugest crush on your wife! she's SO cool and is SOOOOOOO in love with you! i LOVE it!
it's hard to explain my love of punk/ska and matchbox twenty, they just kind of don't go together at all ... i usually keep it secret, lol.
haha i built her on the internet that way, LOL j/k
ya know what...i totally get it. i love ska/classic punk but there are just some nerd bands that're so cool to love. ya know
What is considered a nerd band?
hmmm, i dont know how to explain it. a lame band that you love....? lol like abba....lame....but i love them.
haha. yeah. band that you'd never admit to liking, probably.
Gotcha... So Savage Garden would be that for me since I like that song "Truly, Madly, Deeply". hahaha...
YES! lol *very gay btw....nuthin but love!!
I've been ripped on a lot by peeps who know I like that song. Haha... Now the Redsweater community will probably do the same.
hmm. i might admit liking "To the Moon and Back" if i was held at gunpoint.
*said to make brotherman feel better* haha
You're a chick though. Guys take more heat for liking stuff like that.
and you did a great job building her! lol
yeah, great times... all that happened is i got made fun of cause i didnt know what kinda cheeses that stupid place had or how to pronounce wine names... bah...
yeah mike walked in asking for a milkshake. lauren and i were like OMG you're fired.
FIRST of all... i thought she said ROOT BEER FLOAT... so i asked... and SECOND... if its a restaurant they DEF can make them... she was just lazy
it was a wine tasting bar.
our office closed, but I'm working from home. :/
I didn't even call mine. But when I opened the IM program, I saw someone online who doesn't work from home, so I guess they are open. They already know if we get dumped on with snow, I won't be there. I shot my boss an email.
I have the best job - my boss called ME and told me to go back to sleep!!
My work was cancelled and they didn't call us, so I drove 104 miles for nothing, risking a car accident... what a 3 hour / half a tank of gas waste of time.
Usually company's have a hotline to call for weather.
I don't work for the company, I'm contracted.. but Bloomberg never closes, the global economy would nosedive.. someone just decided not to work and someone else neglected calling some of the people on our team...when they knew 5 hours ahead of our shift to tell us not to come in. Half of the people on the team slipped their mind. So not coo.
Plus, we went in on the day of the snowstorm previous to this, which was a worse one. So frustrating. Could've planned a fun Friday night instead of driving for no purpose.
I hope the 104 miles is roundtrip and not one way. Cuz I'd have to say you are crazy to drive that far then. haha...
Roundtrip and still crazy. But, you do what you kinda gotta do to earn a buck and a can of beans in this crazy world.
Very true. I drive 64 miles roundtrip and am very happy I only do it 3 days a week now.
If I were working full-time or apartments in my job area were cheaper, I'd move closer to it. Almost moved to Bensalem PA area where it's affordable and closer to work, but I shifted my plans.
Where do you live and where do you commute to?
Madchester NJ to Skillman NJ (Princeton vicinity)
Haha... I looked up Madchester and it is a type of Rock. Is that the codename for your real town? Cuz I've never heard of a town by that name.
he means Manchester. a little, woodsy area near Toms River, Lakehurst, and Jackson.
Ah, gotcha. Sorry, I don't speak South Jersey. LOL!
Redsweater doesn't need another regional Jersey discussion, does it? Look, there's 2 hours of Jersey below me, 2 hours of Jersey above me. I've always been from Central Jersey that's why I find it so strange and aggravating that anybody above The Amboys disses me for a Southerner (not saying they're the uncoo - just that I'm a Central boy - it's very cultural... at worse, I'm South Centralite, but nonetheless a Centralite)... not about to have a psuedo yuppie tell me otherwise at any time of the day. hahaha
This will probably spark another regional Jersey war, but oh well.. Had to respond.. couldn't let it go.
But in a more direct response to the comment.. it's not Jersey speak at all. I just say Madchester, 'cause my town is called Manchester, and Madchester was a music movement in Manchester England in the 80s/90s (Happy Mondays, New Order, Stone Roses, etc)... so your bit of internet research had the right reference in that regard. Kinda made me laugh you thought Madchester was the actual name of where I live in NJ. hahaha. Wasn't trying to be cryptic or anything... truly thought you'd figure it out.
haha i got this rad geography lesson from lauren and dan on their last visit. still kinda confusing BUT i kinda get where things/people are. lol
Sorry... I had to wikipedia it to figure it out... I do not know music movement history, nor do I care to know.
Us Northerners consider everything below route 78 as South Jersey. We rule... you drool... :oP
So in other words, Cranford, Elizabeth, Bayonne are South Jersey ...whatever, take the 1/4 of NJ you say is North Jersey and just declare it a brand new State. Where I'm from will always be Central... as well as anyone who lives in this region... Northerners will never legitimize that.. not the first time I've had a NJ regional debate with someone, so nothing new. I have Southern Jersey cousins... they even have different accents. Central Jersey exists not only geographically but culturewise as well. Ask a real South Jersey person if they consider me or anyone else in Ocean County to be a South Jersey person. Northerner's won't let us be Central, Southerners won't let us be South. Keep the Peace, Tear Down the Wall. This isn't Belfast.
Wow, I don't think I can respond to that. That was like a line out of a movie.
...and the award for most overacted soliloquy for something completely trivial goes to.......
hahaha
"Manchester Township is 82.5 square miles and is the third largest Township in central New Jersey's Ocean County."
Toms River = "Total 52.9 sq mi"
Little? South Jersey?
I think not
Rest my case
Goodnight
