So I had a pretty good week. Really good actually. Yesterday I had an interview with Samaritan Health Services for a data entry job. The interview was going pretty well, but then it got even better. The lady that was interviewing me decided I was better suited for a different job....a job as a financial specialist. It sounds pretty impressive, but what it really means is that I call people and let them know they owe Sam. Health money. My job would be to make sure they understand their medical bills and help them set up a way to pay. But they seemed pretty impressed and gave me the distinct impression they would be offering me a job once they did a background check and called references. So, barring an unforseen problem (and that has happened before) I'll be giving my two weeks notice at the clinic sometime soon. I couldn't be happier. Trading in a job as a medical records bitch....er....clerk at $8 with semi-decent benefits for an $11 an hour job with great benefits sounds pretty good to me.
The other news of the day was that today was the annual OSU Spring Awards Banquet. This is a dinner where they honor OSU alumni who have well-represented the university. The most prestigious award is the E.B. Lemon award, named for my great-grandfather. After graduating from OSU in 1912, he continued to work at OSU as a professor and later as a dean until he retired. He was known as "Mr. Oregon State." Pretty cool, actually. Anyways, every year they give out this award with his picture on it to some extremely successful Oregon State Alumni, and every year our whole family goes. It's really a big deal for my grandpa Butch, and he's always proud to show off E.B.'s great grandsons (as well as the rest of the family.) Pretty fun stuff....and it's always fun to be able to say your great-grandfather was one of the most influential people in the history of OSU.
That's about all I have. The OC almost (repeat: ALMOST) made me cry last night. Great season ending. I will be anxiously awaiting the start of season 3 in the fall.

Did ya miss me?
Been a while. I feel a little guilty....for some reason I feel that I have to "perform" in my journal. Like if I have a bad post or take too many days off, I'll lose my audience. Probably would actually.
So it looks like they're ruling the death of the OSU student who died at Lake Shasta a suicide. Crazy. I didn't know her well, but I knew her. She was friends with my brother for about a month. She seemed like a pretty normal sorority girl....nothing to suggest she was capable of suicide. Guess that goes to show that it's not just the people in dark trenchcoats with pentacle tattoos or members of a cult that feel the need to end it all. I'd tend to think alcohol played a part in her decision making, but then again I don't know. One of her sorority sisters said that they would remember Gina for her "courage and motivation." Funny how those qualities abandoned her in her final decision........
On a brighter note, Rachel and I went to Seattle Saturday for a college-major league double header. At 1 we watched Oregon State play Washington at Husky Ballpark on the University of Washington campus. Pretty cool baseball field. Right on Lake Washington, plus it has a FieldTurf infield and natural grass outfield with a purple warning track. The game featured some strange occurrences:
~ A swarm of bees descending on the field delaying the game for a few minutes as they made their way over the first base dugout, past home plate, and up over the bleachers on the first base side. Nobody was stung. I think they were focused on making a poor bird's life a living hell for disturbing their hive or something. But it did incite mild panic. Players running for their dugouts, fans not quite sure what to do, some breaking out umbrellas or coats they'd brought, others covering up their young children and running for the nearest cover.
~A flock of Canadian Snow Geese honking and landing in the lake right behind the OSU bullpen.
~A near brawl after a pitch came up and in....quickly defused by OSU coach Pat Casey, who yanked his pitcher immediately, despite him only facing two batters.
~Some of the worst sportsmanship I've ever seen by fans in my life. Grown men and women calling for OSU's pitcher to bean a UW batter. OSU fans bitching when a UW coaches visit to the mound took a little too long. Nevermind the fact that just one inning later, OSU had a conference between the pitcher and catcher, followed two pitches later by a conference between the first baseman and pitcher, followed three pitches later by a coach’s visit. Perhaps my favorite was when UW took a 1-0 lead and got excited and some jackass goes "Yeah you were doing pretty good for a few innings last night too....just wait, your pitcher will blow it," Followed by raucous applause everytime their pitcher threw a ball. I was absolutely disgusted. I seriously considered sitting on the UW side the rest of the game...instead I opted to sit as high up in the bleachers as possible.
The Mariners game was better.....tons of Red Sox fans in the stands made it interesting. The fans were much more good natured about their ribbing. Chants of "Red Sox Suck!" were rebuked with chants of "You Suck!" and laughter....nothing malicious.
A letter to the editor in yesterday's Oregonian compared Oregon's Golden Boy Joey Harrington to Pat Tillman. It seems Joey Harrington bought a former teacher of his a car when he found out that Father Tom of Central Catholic had totalled his. Someone needs to explain to me how buying a car for a friend is the equivalent of passing up millions of dollars to GO TO WAR for your country. Yes, buying a car for Father Tom is a nice gesture, don't get me wrong....very generous of Joey. However, this is the equivalent of a friend of mine finding out that I'd dropped my remote control and broke it and buying me a new universal one. Not that much money to an NFL starting QB. Now on the other hand, turning down a $3 million dollar a year contract and trading in shoulder pads for an M-16 and a soldier's salary is a slightly bigger gesture.
That's all I got for today.....enjoy season finale week(s) on television.

Wurk
had this conversation at work today
girl at work: Man is it ever going to stop raining?
me: Any more of this and we're going to have to start rounding up two of every animal.
girl at work: *laughs* seriously.
me: Ya know....how cool would it have been to be Noah? Not only are you the smartest person on the planet because you were the only person that listened, but you also have all the animals on your boat if you want to hang out with elephants or koalas!
other, more scary girl: Or you could breed the lions then kill one and make yourself a fur coat!
(uncomfortable silence)
Me: Ummmmmm.....yeah.......
Other things from today:
~Due to the inability of Brown Sugar to start over the past few days, I have been forced to resort to public transportation. Nothing is scarier than "the bus." I have no clue what is so scary about busses, but I'm always terrified that I'll take the wrong one and end up so far from where I need to go that I won't be able to get back. Turns out it's not so bad. Although due to bus schedules I'm forced to get to work a half an hour early and, unless I leave work 5 minutes early, I have to wait a half an hour to catch a ride home. Either that or beg someone to give me a ride home.
~Everyone at work complains about country music, yet I hear them singing along with the songs...why?
~"What's a Guy Gotta Do" by Joe Nichols absolutely wins the award for "breakthrough performance by an artist Andy absolutely despises." It also is the first song ever that makes me want to square dance every time I hear it.
~It seems that nobody stays in medical records as an HIS Clerk I for more than a year. If I make it to a year and have not got promoted or anything, I think I will quit.
~Doug and Carrie Heffernan from CBS' "King of Queens" are absolutely the tv version of Andy and Rachel.

Cinco de Mayo....way better than Quatro de Mayo
The OC was on last night, and it was good one! Holy crap it was intense. So intense in fact, that when I returned to the couch after getting something to drink, I was so involved in the show that I started cuddling with the wrong girl!
I was sitting on the couch between Rachel and Nicole. I've written before how I think Nicole and Rachel are pretty similiar. Well I sit back down on the couch and start cuddling with who I thought was Rachel. Something didn't seem quite right though. I look over to my left and I'm like "I didn't even realize Nicole was wearing the same shirt as Rachel." Then I kinda looked up at the girl whose shoulder I was using as a pillow. Definitely Nicole. She's got this face that's kinda half confused, half amused. And she just starts laughing hysterically and says "I was wondering how long that was going to take you." Probably a good 30-45 seconds had passed. I turned so red. Rachel, who didn't notice until right then, just shakes her head and starts laughing. Probably the most embarassing thing that's happened to me in a long time. Props to Nicole for not freaking out though, and letting me figure it out on my own. Made it way funnier.

11. Spit, swallow or gargle?

49. How many drinks before you're tipsy?
>I'll go with one.
50. Do you think you're cute?
>I have my moments. What do you think?
Huh?
When Nightline asked the father of the American Idol contestant who is alleging he slept with Paula Abdul and fell in love with her before she broke his heart what he would like to say to Paula, Mr. Clark responds "Stick to the Script!"

bzzzzzt!
First off, happy birthday to my cousins, KBear, and Kindra.
Now......last night I decided to cut my hair. I've cut my own hair since I was in seventh grade. Saved I don't know how many thousands of dollars that way. Anyways, as I'm cutting my hair, Rachel gets home. I'm thinking "great, she can touch it up, trim my neck and around my ears." So she comes upstairs telling me how she got a table and four chairs for $50 bucks from one of her patients. Well she's so excited about this purchase (it really is a great purchase) that she doesn't notice that I took the clipper attachment off. Next thing I know, a giant clump of hair lands on my shoulder and she screams. I now have a golf ball sized chunk of hair missing behind my ear. After she almost started crying she felt so bad, we decided it'd be better just to leave it and let it grow back than to shave my entire head. Based on the reactions I get today at work, we'll see if that was a good decision or not.
