The joy of newsgroups

It's fun to be reading a newsgroup, and recognizing someone's former workplace (a fact that was purposefully obscured) based on rather generic facts.

Doubly fun when you realize that the name sounds familiar, search through the LUG mailing list, and discover that he's a member.

Triply fun when you realize that the guy was probably a co-worker of one of your ex's.

Small world, eh?

bleh

I have an entry to write.

It won't come out of my brain.

So I'll continue trolling k5 and being a general PITA to everyone who comes in contact with me until I get over the urge to write it.

BTW: Attack of the Clones is the fucking stupidest name they could have come up with.

(no subject)

So we're having a meeting at work with the guys who are working on developing our new server. One of my co-workers makes a comment that makes the lead developer (who's cute-ish, and I'd guess my co-workers think so too, as they seem to enjoy teasing him) blush. Very cute. I hope others find it equally cute when I blush, since I tend to do that way too often.

That prompts my other co-worker to say "At least you aren't having Mike's baby" while looking pointedly at me.

I kick her and tell her to shut up, and then explain that I am not, in fact, having anyone's baby. Probably blushing madly the whole time (a good reason to hope it's cute when I do it).

See a few months ago Mike got tired of everyone thinking we were dating. So he went to my boss and told her that I was pregnant with his baby.

Why he thought this would help the situation is beyond me...

Since then, it's been a running joke. A joke I rather wish I wasn't a part of. Especially when they have to go involve all new employees, including the cute, young, potentially dateable ones.

I sound like a total airhead today. I apologize. I'm tossing around some rather serious stuff in my head, and this is my way of letting off steam.
