Sometimes the english language fails me. Fails to really convey complex feelings or emotions in any meaningful way. Language is a weird thing isn’t it?
That’s all.

I’ve known the payment function on the PGE online statement has this ‘note’ feature for some time, but I’m not entirely sure why people would use it. Regardless, I’ve decided to sent PGE a new note every month along with my statement. I have a few possible options:
- Start a new short story and send them a chapter every month.
- I can discuss how my day is going, my goals and aspirations, etc.
- Start a list of my favorite foods, and include one of those foods on each statement.
Thinking about it now, the possibilities are endless.
Michelle: you know when you walk into a room and you forget what you went in there for?
Me: absolutely
Michelle: I just did that, but with a firefox new tab
It was a day like any other… I had just gotten a job as a lifeguard (which, for whatever reason, was extremely easy to get) and was sitting outside the pool our class used to use in Junior high. I then saw something small swimming in the water, and another something chasing it! The creature getting chased looked small and dangerous and the bigger creature that was chasing it somewhat resembled a Chinese babyfish. This babyfish looked to be about the size of my foot. I realized this wasn’t the case only when it crawled out of the pool and was 3 times my size! Robyn and I climbed the 20 foot fence trying to escape it while it got distracted by another person at the pool’s edge (it may have possibly ate her).
Later, I got separated from my sister and my Dad and was stuck in Fresno after a Dodgers game where they were flying planes on the field. They made me bat and were expecting me to hit a home run. I don’t remember if I did or not. I needed to catch a plane to fly back but there were many challenges including stumbling upon a conveyor belt covered in Jello packages.
AND that’s what I dreamt about last night.
“emails all the time”
- Cool beans
- Just Joshin’ ya
- Later fool
- Raining cats and dogs
- Your goose is cooked
Well, I can’t really think of anymore but I’ll make sure to add to this list...
Every day I walk into the office, unlock the door and scan my hand to clock in. Every day after I scan my hand I walk to my desk past a fax machine sitting on a desk.
This last month has been different. I have walked past the fax machine and sitting next to it has been a nickel. One single nickel. I don’t know how it got there and (more importantly) why nobody has taken it considering everyone walks past that fax machine (I hear that some people even use it). Sure it’s only a nickel, but our soda machines are 65 cents and snack food is 45 so I can imagine a nickel would have to be useful for someone at some point during A MONTH of it sitting there.
Regardless, I have seen that nickel every day when I come and go and thought it might be fun to do a little experiment. One day as I was leaving there were very few people left in the office and I took my chance. I picked up the nickle, put it in my pocket and replaced it with a dime. I imagine people will think two (4) things:
1. Hey, that nickel turned into a dime.
2. If that nickel turned into a dime after a month of sitting there, what will it turn into next?
2a. Will someone take it because it’s a dime now?
2b. Should I wait to find out what it turns into, or take it now?
This was 3 days ago that the switch was made, and the dime still sits next to the fax machine. I suppose next week sometimes I’ll have to replace it with a quarter. The general consensus between those who know about this little test say the quarter will get snatched up quick. (Let’s hope so, otherwise I’ll have to track down a 50 cent piece somewhere)
Now it IS possible someone put this nickel here as some sort of morality test and is waiting to see who’s take it, in which case I guess I’m messing up their test (or making it better imo). Only time will tell.
Will keep you posted…
I don’t draw on paper as much as I used to. In school it seems as though you are surrounded by paper so naturally you can cure your boredom by doodling.
Most of my work at the office and home is now digital. I try from time anyway.
