Jun. 13th, 2006 05:23 pmI need to start this entry with a major shout-out/thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
neoathena and tmchiba who both IMed me last night to ask what was up. And then both proceeded to make me feel better about everything in their own way. It's something of a strange compliment, but Kate's sometimes blunt manner of stating exactly what she thinks does wonders. I once had someone warn me against that bluntness... but all I really say to that is, it's who she is and personally, i love it. *grin* And then Dave... well he put it very well. "security issues are always confusing and complicated. if they weren't, they would be security successes." *nod* I also once again have come to realize how lucky I am to have Jacob in my life. Especially with all the emotional swings I go through every so often. (i'm only human.. i have emotional problems.. so sue me) We're going good places and I'm thankful everyday for it.
So anyway.. today was better. I had lots to help with at work today and I got my soda at lunch for only 25 cents. I'd gone to get a soda from the closest working soda machine (in the building next door) and there was a dollar bill stuck in it. It wasnt sticking far enough out to grab but you couldn't push it in. I didnt have any quarters. I'm stubborn, so instead of going to a different machine, I stayed. First I thought I could get quarters from the vending machine. Therefore I was slightly disgruntled by the gold dollar coin that dropped out. So I attacked the stuck bill with my keys. After a bit of poking and pulling and inner cursing... I managed to pull the bill out. I then proceeded to put a new bill in and get my soda... for 25 cents. And life was good.
Sadly, I got another update on the flame retardants I need. They talked to the company and were told that the request is submitted to a consortium of companies that need to ALL approve it. They were also told that one company *always says no*. My thought? WTF. He also emailed someone in the EPA about it but hasn't gotten a response. The solution? "We need to start looking at alternate sources." *twitch* At this rate I'll never start. But I can't complain cuz clearly they're trying...
Oh wells... Jacob works till 9 so I think I'll spend till then catching up on my anime and manga. *grin*
