“What do you mean, fun?”

An actual conversation I had last Friday with an engineer at my work:

Jenna walks into room at 530 pm on Friday afternoon to get bag.

Two engineers are working away.

Grabs bag and says: “You guys should hang it up and go do something fun.”
Engineer 1: “Like what?” pauses..
Engineer 2: looks at me with blank expression.
Engineer 1 (sitting in front of two huge monitors full of code): “this is fun. what else would i be doing?”

and thats why my job rocks. :)

Sunny California, My Ass

They said it would never rain here. They said there wouldn't be a cloud in the sky. They said it was sunny 24 hours a day. Yep, that's right, even at night.

They were so wrong.

It has been raining on and off for the last three weeks (and yes, in Mountain View too) and today, it has been raining non-stop for at least 24 hours. Its cold too.

Needless to say my .8mi walk home from the shuttle was not too pleasant. Time for some galloshes and a pink rain slicker. I wonder if they make them with space invaders...

Its hard to move across the country and leave all your friends behind, but its small things like this that make life easier out here in this strange strange land.. AND it reinforces my personal brand! who can beat that?!

anne- your hat has debued to RAVE reviews, i think you might have a cult following out here at the big g should you wanna give up this "doctor" & "PHd" business and become a full-time knitting bitch! :)
