GOBLINBOX n., slang. Any kind of device (computer, PDA, cell phone, GameBoy, iPod, or television) that relentlessly sucks up all of your time and attention. If you're reading this, you're utilizing a goblinbox right now. You might even have a S.O. who wishes you weren't pasted to the goblinbox who's hollering, "Turn off that blasted goblinbox and come to bed this very instant!"

Update

In which I’m happy.

The new job rocks now.

I have a desk, a chair, a phone, and and extension. I’m taking calls. Co-workers are all adorable and geeky. Got my last direct deposit from the call center yesterday, getting my first direct deposit from the ISP tomorrow.

I have access to accounts and billing software and qhost and the ticketing system and am learning stuff left and right.

I had sushi for lunch today because one of my co-workers IMed me to see if I had an order (I totally did) and then ran and picked it up!

Sushi

Life is good!

    Oh and lightning strikes about 6,000 times per minute on this planet, just sayin’.

    Planets are cool. They have gravity. -m

    How was your WW Union Bulletin bento article received by the reading public? Any feedback? Get paid for it?

    B-t-w, even Einstein couldn’t figure out was gravity IS. He could figure out how to predict how it’s properties affect bodies, but nobody knows what it is exactly. The earth really does suck.

    Pretty well, I guess. Not really. Nope. I love you but your grammar and punctuation drive me batshit! ;-) -m

    i’m glad you’re happy at your new job. happiness is very important.

    the sushi looked marvellous, though unlike you i would’ve had it all eaten up before i thought to take a photo.

    I barely managed to get a pic before the Lex was gone. Those things freakin’ RULE. -m

    Co-workers who go out and about for sushi sound like they could soon be friends.
    May all your work days be happy ones!
    (Bindu under the desk yet?)
