  yup... jane says i've been lazy and needed to blog so here goes: jane is grounded cuz she stayed out too late w/ josh yesterday night (until 10:45... man... control yourselves! j/k) so now she can't call (bleh) and has to resort to aim of all things to stay in touch w/ her ppl. rags has a situation... and can't call me either. ^ other than those two things... my life is peachy keen ^_^ yesterday... i woke up and was like "this is way too early for me to be getting out of bed" cuz it was so dark outside... and i respond to light and touch more so than sound while asleep. so i dragged myself out of bed and got ready for the zoo. my dad's all like "call the zoo" but i've lost the contact sheet (actually i know where it is but i didn't feel like gettiing it) so we drive to the zoo in the rain. we asked the guard at the shack whether the children's zoo was open... and he said it was. but when i got there, i saw the the "children's zoo is closed" sign had been knocked over by the wind.
i go inside the discovery center.... the lights are on everywhere but there is no one inside the office. so i call jane (she's stilll home at 8:15... of course... ^_~) and ask what's up. she tells me that zuhair and yusra will prolly come today and directs me to the BEC. on the way... my shoes and socks and in turn my feet get soaked in the puddles. my legs are already wet... the slashing rain... arg. i go the blue smurf's office (still on the phone w/ jane) and find ross playing runescape (what a pointless game! ) on the comp. j-rod comes in and talks to jane for a while. so i take off my shoes and socks and leave them out to dry.
i'm starting to worry that i'll be the only one here (cuz ross said he was going home early) when zuhair and yusra show up. i am saved! so we tell deb that we are here and we start on this envelope filling/labeling thing for lia. man... there was this whole debacle about which radio station to listen to. i wanted 94.5 but zuhair kept changing it to 104... so it was like.... tunes in to 104, zuhair starts dancing/singing, i go "how can you stand him???
" to yusra, and change the station. this would continue as i pestered j-rod about his silence. he eventually calls somebody and loses his head (he pass an empty enveloped as filled...) so it was the cool-aid after all... i thought he was always hyper... we got to see the battle eagle fly... and the raven and the parrot (forgot their names) did audience demos... basically you volunteer for the bird to fly to your arm and fly back to the trainer. or you could hold out a dollar bill and let the bird take it from you and stuff it into the trainer's pocket... then fly back to you and return it to your open palm.
it was pretty fun to watch... but gawd are those claws lethal... the scratches!!! haha j-rod got rejected by the parrot (they think that it was b/c he had rubber bands on his wrist and the birds aren't used to that) i fell out of my chair! or rather... my chair broke under me and i fell with it. doug calls it "a lawsuit waiting to happen" 2 chairs in the same row broken... and what is w/ those plastic nut thingies?
at around 11, i get hungry so i eat my lunch. i introduce yusra and zuhair to the lotus root! hehe so we go the smurf's office (we did the envelopes in the conference room) and start to edit the newsletter. i complain about the bad spacing and placing of the pics/logos and the whole non-integration of the diff. font styles. so i mess around w/ that... and in the end we have the finished product (much better than the original version... if i may say so myself... ;) ) but alas... the color printer runs out of ink before i can get my very own personal copy!!! grrrr.... while i'm editing the newsletter... zuhair managed to spill his platter of spaghetti on himself and the carpet... but he more or less picks up what he can and leaves the sauce on the floor. the room smells pretty filthy now... hehe after lunch, lia moves us into her office to finish the envelopes cuz there's a meeting in the conference room. sarah and bennet come in (so they were here! ) and everyone stares at my petite feet (enough already! i know they are small! *runs away wearing zuhair's flip-flops... trips on self...*) sarah acts out this number... but then zuhair's all pointing behind my head and yelling "raghu! raghu!
" i'm like "huh? " i mean... i never expected him to show up in the office... or the zoo for that matter (it was closed for the day)... apparently he was let in by the guard after he told him he was looking for jane (someone else was looking for her too) i tell him that jane's not coming today cuz she went jogging and is hurting, so he leaves. after we finish w/ the envelopes (there were mountains of them! ) zuhair (with the new and improved newsletter in hand) and i walk over to HR so i can file and he can give the publication to the public relations guy.
i file the background checks while the lady is mad cuz she's having issues w/ an excel spreadsheet. then i pulled out files of the police officers for some salary thing... monotonous work... when i get back to the BEC, deb has database for me to do... and me and zuhair pick hairs again over which cd's to play (j-rod had left some for jane).
we discuss how lia hates the intuition song by jewel cuz of the vibrato... and how justin sounds like michael jackson. so zuhair doesn't like evanescence, but i leave it on and he gets headphones so he can listen to his radio w/o being "disrupted from his work". i finish all the sign-in sheets on the clipboard and it's 4:17 already so i leave. lia reminds me to get my 6 free tickets after i come out from the BEC w/ my cell (rags asked to use it and i realized how i didn't have it in my bag) we walk to the park and i show him my mad duck driving(-away) skills. hahaha today... was perfect. that is the only word to describe it. no more needs to be said... :)
