Title: Fell's new job
Post by: Fellfrosch on November 09, 2004, 02:33:22 AM
I am leaving my crappy job in scenic Logan to take a much better, much higher-paying job in ugly Utah Valley. I'll miss my house, but since it's 11:30pm right now and I'm still at work, I obviously don't see much of it right now anyway.

I will be the senior writer for a scrapbooking company called Close to My Heart. Really. No, really. I bet I could have put that on the poll and no one would have guessed it was the real answer.

Well, except for the fact that you were talking about it at Bucca di Beppo's.

Hey, let me know if they need freelance artisty-type people such as my husband.

I'm familier with Close to My Heart. They come to my hotel every month to have a scrapbooking party and completely trash the place. In fact, tonight I'm cleaning up the mess they left four days ago.

I'm not sure, but I  think one of the owners is related to my boss, so I'm betting Close to My Heart is a rather laid back environment. My boss is so laid back he's catatonic.

Anyhoo, Congratulations, though I hope you are ready for the geekiness and fanaticism, that is the scrapbooking world.

No acutaly he's busy inventing a Time Machine that will take him back 2 weeks in time so he can put in his 2 weeks in the Past, then he can go forward to next years NaNoWriMo and write a book about it.

yes, but I axe him right before he goes back to warn himself.

Just make sure to tell his future wife he would have loved her.

When I told my boss I was quitting he just sighed and said, "yeah, well, we all know what it's like here." I found that really funny.

Were you wearing a Sombrero at the time?

Not yet. Or maybe not anymore. Time travel plays havoc with temporal memory.

This is so surreal I may have to post this on my cubicle wall.

Exactly.

Now, where exactly did I put that Fell clone we made?

My new job starts on Wednesday, and I will be staying in Provo Wednesday and Thursday nights this week (probably in Tage and EUOL's basement). Thursday is D&D, which I will be observing but probably not participating in, but Wednesday is wide open--if anyone would like to play some games that night, let's do it.

I'll do my best to be available. It's hard to say sometimes whether a church meeting will occur or not. I'll try to find out in advance this time. Congratulations!

I have tithing settlement but can be there by 8pm, si la esposa me deja (pero no pienso que sera un problema.)

Parece que podria ser problema, si tienes que decirlo en una idioma extranjera.

so are you wanting to do something tomorrow then? or are you talking about next Wensday?
Title: Re: Fell's new job
Post by: Fellfrosch on November 30, 2004, 03:20:48 PM
No, I'm talking about tomorrow.

for some reason "esposa" comes as readily to mind a "wife" when I think of a word to refer to the woman that I'm married to, hence my lapse into Spanish, which I would have corrected if I did not know that at least Fell speaks it.

I read it. I don't write it or speak it or understand much of it spoken, but I did a decent job reading the Quijote in Español, so I suppose I read it.

k, if you want to do something post here tonight with the time, where and what.  Or call me tomorrow (you can get my number from EUOL or Tage).
Title: Re: Fell's new job
Post by: Lieutenant Kije on November 30, 2004, 04:24:14 PM
I'm assuming it's at ETUaOgLe's?  I'll be there around 8.  

(Did you like that?  It's "EUOL" and "Tage" blended together.)

Yes, you're very clever.
Title: Re: Fell's new job
Post by: Prometheus on November 30, 2004, 04:50:24 PM
I'll *likely* be available at around 6 PM, but I'll keep an eye on the site to find out when we're actually doing it. Games are fun!
Title: Re: Fell's new job
Post by: Fellfrosch on November 30, 2004, 05:13:53 PM
Kije is free at 8, so we'll say 8. That will give me some time to do some errands and eat and whatnot. And we'll just do it at EUOL's unless something horrible happens between now and then to stop us.
Title: Re: Fell's new job
Post by: Lieutenant Kije on November 30, 2004, 06:11:09 PM
My place is an option as well, in case something horrible happens.

I would have guessed that your keyboard burst its apendix.

K, I'll be there at 8ish.
