Fresh laundry equivalent at work

Brrrrr i'm cold.  It's been cold at the office lately.  Are they trying to save money by lack of heat?  I guess it's okay if you're wearing a suit with a sweater underneath, but since we've moved to "smart business casual" there's no need for lots of layers anymore.

 

Today I discovered the 'laundry out of the dryer' equivalent at work: paper right out of the printer!  Soooo warm.  It warmed up my arms today for a bit.  It's not quite the same though.  No fresh smell and not as cozy.  It still amused me.  I feel like printing more, but instead I'll go home.  Yay weekend!

I'll have wine with my wine, thank you!

I went and saw Wicked last month!!!!  It was amazing.  I loved it.  Yay witches!

My company's Christmas Party was a couple weekends ago.  It was at this fancy place on Toronto st.  I didn't know there was a Toronto street.  It's very short.  I couldn't find a new dress to wear, so I bought new shoes and fun earrings and called it a day.  High heels are amusing!!  Since Matt came with me I could wear really high heels while still being short.

The party was fun.  Matt and I amused ourselves by drinking lots and enjoying the tons of fancy food.  Soup, salad, steak, and two, yes TWO desserts.  Creme brulee and white chocolate raspberry cake.  Soooo yummy.  Oh, and the bread was awesome.

I don't think I made a fool of myself.  I think I left before the last of the alcohol really hit me so I didn't feel too embarrassed on Monday.  Nobody commented really about how much I drank so all is good.  Thankfully nobody saw me kinda stumble down the stairs.  They were narrow stairs i tell you. It had nothing to do with the wine.

This weekend I went for lunch with Holly and Nadia to celebrate Holly's birthday.  Happy Birthday Holly!!!!!!!!!  We went to yummy spring rolls then Holly and I wandered the mall, and hung out at timmy's.  It's nice that hanging out at timmy's is done by choice now, not because of lack of any other options.

Last thing, is that I am one super duper nice person.  People say I'm mean, but they are sooo wrong.  In the mail there was a cheque for some guy I hadn't heard of before.  Being the first to live here, means it had to be the wrong address.  I was just going to write return to sender and drop it off in the out box at work, but then I decided it's likely just the suite number was wrong.  I took the time to talk to security and found out just that!  The security guy was going to make sure the cheque got to him.  I'm awesome. 

Waking up in a cloud

I had to try really hard to be able to see anything outside my window this morning.  It amused me. 

Customer Care

I just got to talk to the best phone help person ever.  I'll start at the beginning though.

I got a call saying I had a cable installation appointment tomorrow morning.  What???!!!  This is news to me.  So I call, and have to go through the lame voice menus.  Since I was at work I felt especially stupid.  Thankfully it worked well and I didn't have to repeat myself.  I got to the end and the recorded voice said there was no scheduled appointment and asked if I wanted to talk to an agent.  I said "agent".

The guy who helped had a voice that could have been used as the recorded voice or on commercials.  It was awesome.  I told him I just got a msg saying I had a cable installation appointment tomorrow that I knew nothing about.  And then he asks, so you have rogers people coming to drill holes in your house and you don't know why?? hehehe he even made a joke!  I was so amused.  He had a good idea of what the problem was right away which was cool.  He checked to see if somebody else had an appointment with my number and they did.  Why somebody says my number is their number confuses me, but at least the mystery is solved.  He explained he couldn't change the number without the other person's permission.  Then, while I was still on the phone, he put a note in the file saying that the number belonged to somebody else.  Now I know it's been taken care of as much as possible.  To end it well, he makes sure that the reason I called had been resolved.  Well done. 

Rogers customer care rocks.

Cat bonds

I haven't felt like going to the gym lately, but I was given a publication about Insurance-linked securities and I suddenly feel like working out on the elliptical machine while I read about cat bonds.  I'm a little frightened.
