um, really?

i just submitted an inquiry to a website and got this auto response:

"The message you sent requires that you verify that you are a real live human being and not a spam source."

i considered not responding... then i realized i need to know about their products, so i told them i'm real. they responded with this:

"This message is to notify you that your verification was received, and your email address was successfully white listed."

white listed?? is that a real term?

irony

I spoke to a coworker who took the day off work in order to take the LEED exam. This coworker passed the exam, which is exciting. I asked which test center the coworker went to, as a friend of mine took the exam at the same time... it turns out they were not at the same place; this person had driven to the test site in order to get in some last minute studying... I found it somewhat ironic or hypocritical to drive to an exam focused on sustainability which is in fact less than 1/2 mile from a rapid transit line (SS c4.1)

i am a dork.

shana

i work in a relatively good sized office... yet i still find it funny that i receive shop drawings from a contractor addressed to me only as "shana"-- no last name.... like "prince" or "cher", perhaps i am identifiable by one name only. so... we got into a bit of a conversation about other celbrities known by their first name only. feel free to offer your contributions:

cher, prince, eminem, coolio, rihanna, ludacris, enya, seal, sade, carrot-top, twiggy, tiffany, usher, gallagher, sting, fabio, ice-t, duffy.

daylight

i realized something today.  the day in spring in which daylight savings time starts [today] is one of my favorite days of the year... sure, we lose an hour of sleep, but walking home from the coffee shop at 7:05 PM with a twilight haze is worth it.

41%

3060 hours of 7522 total logged on the job... yes, i just found out today that my time on a particular project amounted to 41% of the total hours on the job. total. hours. on. the. job. over 2 years! the next closest person in terms of hours logged 1398-- a mere 19%.

discuss.
