Wow, you guys should have seen the amount of Chinese food I ordered yesterday!  I will definitely be working on it for a few days... I really like spicy food, so I was hoping that by picking the items marked with a little pepper that they would be hot.  Nope - I got Mongolian Beef (kinda bland), Regular Chow Mein (plain), Chicken Chow Mein (same as regular chow mein, just with chicken), Firecracker Chicken (kinda sticky, not hot at all), Crispy Dumplings (chicken) and Brown Rice......  they were all delicious, just not as spicy / hot as I'd like. Good thing I have a new jar of chili paste!  Anyway, I barely made a dent in it.  As much as I enjoy cooking, it was nice not heating up the house just to make dinner.

I also stopped by Trader Joe's since it's in the same shopping center that I got the Chinese food.  I'm addicted to TJ's orange juice, so I needed to pick up a jug, along with some fruit for lunch this week.  I'm kinda bummed that they've been out of the wine I like for a couple of weeks now.  They don't have it at the two locations I usually go to that are fairly close to my house.  I was able to find it at the Monrovia location, but I'm not going to drive all the way up there just for a couple of bottles of wine.  I ended-up getting a new wine that had a cartoon pancake stomping around a city.  My friend bought me a bottle of it a few months ago and I can't remember if I liked it or not.  It's a blend of five different types of grapes, so I bet I can have it with anything!  Here's what the label looks like, isn't it cute?  I got the image from the internet, so that's not my kitchen or my bottle of wine.

The big work project is almost completed.  I gave it to another set of eyes to go over everything and check to see if there are any glaring errors.  After that's done, it gets mailed out to approx. 600 people.  I'm hoping we'll get it out today.  Our mailroom is gonna just LOVE us.  Aye, I have a headache now.  My desk, as well as the two cubicles on either side of me are disaster areas!

I haven't heard anything back about the tests last Thursday, so I'm going to take that as a positive thing.  I figure that if I don't hear anything by close of business tomorrow, that I'm all clear (for now).  No news is good news, right?  I think they usually get the results in two or three business days.  Waiting sucks!

I just got off a conference call....... have you ever been on a call when someone who's participating is on their speakerphone and they don't realize that technology has evolved to the point where they don't have to SCREAM IN THEIR SPEAKERPHONE TO BE HEARD?  Oh my god!  I had the volume on my phone turned down all the way and my ear still hurts!  I'm just glad that the call only lasted 20 minutes.  Small favors, right?
