Dave's Trapper Keeper

I'm going to try to post an update every hour, from work while inside my little cube. Wish me luck.

8:51 - I'm already thinking about what to do for lunch. I'm a fattie.

I came into work about an hour ago. After I had started my computer up, I went into the break room area and got myself a cup of water. After I get my water, I like to stop and stare into the vending machine. It's a different experience altogether when the lights are completely off in a room, and the only thing luminating the room is the vending machine. You really get to analyze it. It's almost like an art exhibit of foods I have eaten, and some that I will never try.

9:53 - In the hour since I last posted, I've started working on a spreadsheet for Contact Lens information. "BOooOooOOoring, Dave!" I go on my break in over an hour. I'll probably head to "Chumpies" real fast for a fountain soda. Chumpies, is Newtowns version of a Wawa. They're against these corporate entities, which I can respect, but they have a snootiness about being that way. Try being humble, please. It's an admirable quality. I've also been looking at booking a hotel in Atlantic City, for when Maegan comes back. Not so much for the Casino stuff. I'm not into losing large sums of money, but I can do with 2 days of funnel cake and amusement park kind of fun.

10:49 - Just as I was about to enter this next entry, my paycheck was dropped in front of me. Thank goodness for direct deposit, this company sucks with distribution of paychecks most of the time. Mainly due to the fact that they have an office in Jersey that sends up the checks. There have been a few occasions where Fed-Ex didn't ship on time, or paychecks got lost. I recommend direct deposit to all readers. Pro DD. I printed out a $10 coupon to Target that I got in my email. Don't know what I'm going to spend it on. Perhaps, bird seed? Break soon!!!

11:33 - I just got back from my break. I fountain soda. Much more so then the bottled product. I'm going to start my own product line inspired by the Garfield grafiti I made on Facebook. It's going to be called L L (LOVE out Loud! LOLLOLOLOLOL!!!) I can see it now! T-Shirts, Sweatpants with L <3 L on the ass, and other crap. I would be swimming in gold coins. The commercials will feature a raped version of a Beatles song, or some other band I love.

12:40 - Oh, iPod. You save me from the sounds of the radio in the cube next to mine. I will never forget you. I'm having my computer upgraded at work today. So I don't know how this will effect my renegade blog coverage, but I think I should be fine. The e-bay auction I was following for both of Joanna Newsom's vinyl records is up to 60 bucks. Damn. Well, I think I'll have to bow out. I go to lunch at 1:30, so I probably won't have a 1pm update. I'll talk about my lunch when I return. The text-to-speech robot "Microsoft Sam" saying "lolololol" is too funny. Give it a go in samples section: http://www.naturalreaders.com.

2:04 - I spent my half-hour at lunch, reading a Mike Nelson book, while dining on a few slices of pizza at Mama Fertelli's or whatever the place was called. For whatever reason, the half-hour doesn't seem like it's that long. You have to drive to destination--get food--drive back. A lot of time is eaten up right there, even if the place is right down the road. Regardless, two hours until I am out of here. The L<3L line will have its fashion show tonight at my house. Gizmo will be modeling the Spring collection, while I'll be displaying the Summer line. I've been doing countless amount of touch-and-goes this morning. I should have mentioned them earlier. This happens almost everyday. I dread the day, I actually do fall sleep at my desk. It's bound to happen.



2:48 - One more hour to go. I recently was in the mail-room, where a co-worker of mine, Nick, was raving about the movie "300". Said it was one of the best movies he'd ever seen. Really? I just rolled my eyes. Why does everyone ejaculate over that film? Just like everyone loves Tim Burton, even if he's only had one or two good films. They'll still say "Sweeny Todd is AWESOME!" "But, Bill, you didn't see it yet..." "Well, it's Tim Burton! It has to be great!". No one is infallible. If one of my favorite artists or creative people made a stinker, I'd be the first one to say "Yeah, they missed on that one." I hate blind loyalty to entertainers like that. Everybody poops. Current song on iPod "Sam's Town - The Killers"

3:57 - Well, looks like I'm headed out. I hope you enjoyed this look into the day of the life of Dave. Not that you learned anything from it, but I hope you took something from it. Maybe a new found love of timestamps. If I could do that for you, well, I did my job. Have a good weekend, readers.
