work work work

amid my company's drastic restructuring or "trimming the fat" as i like to call it. i have lately found myself bored at work. not b/c i have no work, but probably b/c just about all of my friends i made in the last six months no longer work there. clearly i was hangin out with the wrong crowd. during my day, in the few moments i'm not juggling three schedules or completing dire admin tasks, i find myself toggling between talblog and bankofamerica.com. clearly i suck at surfing the internet....sadly, i still don't have a hold on my crap spending habits, nor are there enough people commenting on this site.... so i feel it's my duty to add a couple of random thoughts.

on my commute yesterday morning i begrudingly got stuck behind a white car ( i hate white vehicles of any sort ) with a bumper sticker declaring, I [HEART] CALIFORNIA PISTACHIOS. of all the bumper stickers in the world, this joker chose pistachios as his message. it wasn't even on his bumper...he put it smack dab in the middle of the rear view window. i'm thinking, #1, that's gotta be illegal. #2, is he a pistachio farmer...perhaps trying to weasel a tax break on his ride, 'cause he's using it for marketing purposes. random, yes....but that was my momentary thought b4 kevin & bean pulled me back into their rant over how dried up sharon stone is. end thought.

i have met someone truly perplexing, and not necessasrily in a good way (he's one of my coworkers). i mean, i live in LA, so it's only natural to encounter a phenomenal amount of losers and weirdos. but i'm intrigued by this one and i just keep wondering how much weirder he will get. i won't bore you with details, but one of the latest developments is that he eats "goat's whey" supplements, among many others. now, what in the fuck is goat's whey, and why on earth is it a brilliant idea to add it to one's daily diet? he also shuns dairy products and sugars. huh? i didn't think that was too odd until i realized cheese was a dairy product. **NO CHEESE** ... at all - that's practically a deal breaker.

also, he doesn't drink (which shouldn't matter at all) -- but claims not to be part of a 12 step program (a clear deal breaker). and finally...sit down for this one...he doesn't own a television, and hasn't for quite some time. (*clang of hammer pounding final nail into coffin*). does he hang out w/ ted kazinski and write letters?? what about Grey's Anatomy? does he even know who shot JR?!? oddly, granola boy's style is very trendy, so i don't know what to make of it. it would be like justin timberlake going berkeley. if only i were in the market for a good algae vitamin. end thought.

and finally, as some of you may know, last week becky's and my grandma was diagnosed with not only lung cancer but also breast cancer - maybe has 5 months left. ouch. but i keep asking myself, "what the hell did she do to piss off God?" seriously. as if one wasn't bad enough, the big guy threw another olive in the acid martini. sucks. in case you're keeping score at home, cancer - 3, bochatey genetics - 0. maybe i do need goat's whey. end thought.
