Miscellany of the weekend

Is Miscellany a word? I could Check... but if its not a word I'll want to take it out. Since I like it, I won't check and wait see if it gets adopted into the common language.

Saturdays. Ahh. My PC. Some net surfing. About 20 cups of Coffee. Now thats what I'm tlking about. Saturdays have a certaqin ritual to them for us. I save the episode of Lost from the previous wednesday and watch while I have my first coffee of the day. Tehn we clean our house. Then whatever. Then dinner at dad's house. Its all pretty routine and sometimes I feel like we should be trying different things of doing something else, but, it seems to work. I hope.

Today I am listening to The Flaming Lips' "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots". I'm a new convert to them although I know that they have a rabid fanbase. There are some truly great moments on this record and its kinda sad that they will most likely be rememebered for "Do you realize" being used in a car commercial.

Work is going well. I was recently moved into a new spot in september. The "Cube Swap" is always difficult. I've been through three moves in the year that I have been at this job. The last one was particularly hard. I left what was really the best working experince I have ever had and moved into a new group that two months in is still looking for their groove. My old team was AWESOME. From the first day I joined them I could tell that it was just going to click. There was a sense of camraderie and an unspoken pact of mutual sucess. We all knew that if we were to seceed, the best way was to do it together. My new group is a bit different. We have an amazing manager and assistant, and all ou individual realationships are great, but, one member is overly ambitious. And, is willing to take any opportunity afforded to up their cachet, while making it appear as though otheres are not pulling their weight. Add in a strong case of "holier than thou" syndrome and its unfortunate to see how someone who is otherwise very sweet, and I would consider to be a good friend (well friend is abit strong so lets go with... contemporary), becomes so difficult to work sucessfully with. Anyway, just my thoughts. I wonder if she blogs and what her thoughts of our team dynamic are?

But that's enough Work-talk for the weekend. I think I will enter the city of Heroes!!
