(no subject)

I achieved my mission of adulthood today! In case anyone really was waiting for the update. It took me a minute and a half of time on the phone, during which I spoke only to robots. For a sense of scale (or how lazy I am, or how much I hate the phone, take your pick), I have had this needing-to-be-activated card since Thanksgiving, and only bothered getting it activated because my current card expires at the end of the month. By which I mean on Tuesday. I'm actually impressed I didn't wait til Monday to call.

At work today, one of my coworkers was wearing manpris. And he kind of made it work. I am not okay with being okay with manpris.

Speaking of my coworkers, as I was leaving, I walked past the new girl's desk (she's newer than I am, but also an actual employee as opposed to a student worker. I am sometimes sad that she is learning tasks that I don't get to, until I remember that one of things she has to do is answer phones. Then I feel better.) and saw over her shoulder that she was on LJ. And it was a comment page with at least one icon I recognized. (Luckily, not from fandom, from the b0st0n community, because I don't think I could deal with that much crossing of the streams.)

Speaking of LJ and RL intersecting, the book I got yesterday? Its author not only thanks her LJ friends, but gives her username, so I shall have to add otterdance (Lynn Flewelling) to the list of authors on whose LJs I creepily lurk.

Tomorrow I'm meeting a geek boy for ice cream. We met online, and don't really know each other yet. It's either going to be awesome or a terrible terrible idea.
