1. I picked the Sole Survivor in our pool. I didn’t win the pool, but I moved up significantly after last night’s finale. That was the lamest season of Survivor I’ve seen - having only watched the last three seasons. That whole women’s alliance thing really annoyed me.

2. We have a new deputy who’s from Boston and has the accent. I’m going to enjoy talking to him. Until he’s corrupted by the guys in the back, but we’ll see how long that takes.

3. I have to submit payroll today for some reason. We get paid next Tuesday, but they’re saying we need to transmit early because of the holiday, which is next Friday. Makes no sense, but I want to get paid on time, so I do what they tell me. I’ll have to transmit for the next pay period next Wednesday/Thursday in order for us to get paid on time next time.

4. I’m going to download the free trial of EE tonight. I’m also thinking that when I make the move I’ll use the jenspeaks[dot]com domain and let the freakinjen[dot]us domain expire next year. Since I’m switching my host as well, I’ll let them do all the migration work for me. The spam event last night convinced me it was time to pony up a little more dough for my hobby. It sux that there are people out there who have the capability to ruin my enjoyment of my hobby, so I’m going to do what I can to eliminate their attempts.

In the meantime, I wish it wouldn’t be so time consuming to delete the comments that the bot managed to leave yesterday, but it will be so they shall stay.

5. Conversation with Nee last night:

NEE: Can I touch your hair?

ME: Sure, but it might be a little crunchy. *I was a little overzealous with the hair gel yesterday.*

NEE (after a quick touch): Sometimes your hair is a little scary.

Then this morning, when I saw her on my way out the door she said my hair was scary today. ECD was horrified, but I cracked up. I asked why she thought it was scary and she said, “Because it looks like you didn’t brush it.”

“I didn’t brush it,” I confirmed. I’ve got that tousled thing going today.

“It’s too fluffy,” is the other problem, apparently.

“Sweetie, by the time you see me tonight, my hair will no longer be fluffy. I guarantee that!”

Hilarious.
