We had our employee outing today. At the end they do a raffle, so this year they did different gift cards and 3 Toshiba tablets. As people got their gift card the announcer would say where the gc was too. Every time people would clap and would say "Oh! That's a good one!" So one lady got one for B&N...

Crowd: Ugh....
Fred: *yells* They sell coffee there too, ya know!
Me: (-_-)

The world is doomed...

[Jinka]

it is a sad day for humanity indeed.

I always want Chapters and Amazon for gift cards. But I'm weird.

I won a two sizes too small t-shirt at the conference I went to last week. I would have been ecstatic to win a University bookstore gift card.

[Becky]

LOL That's always how it goes, Leslie. Win, and then your prize is something that you can't use or don't want.

"Oh, great. I'll just rock this shirt right after I drop 1/3 of my bodyweight. Awesome."

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

lol

[Elise]

Open up the side seams and add some fabric? ;)

But I totally understand what you're going through!

[Mike (the Paladin)]

My daughter got a couple of those. T shirts in what I guess are "misses" sizes? Anyway she gave them to her little sister (big brothers big sisters program).

[Leland]

That's a good suggestion Elise. I just handed it off to one of my tinier co-workers.

[Dawn, Dawnerys, Mother of Modding]

Free tee-shirts must just be fated to never be the right size. The ones I get are always too big. Sorry mam, all we have are XXXXXXXXXXL. Is that alright?

I take them anyway and use them to cover my car when I leave it in the sun.






I don't really do that. That would be weird.

[Elise]

lol

I save them for when I paint my house ;)

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

Workout clothes, lol.

I hate Amazon sometimes. It's not free on amazon.co.uk

Why????

[DoodlePanda]

Cool! Congratulations :D

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

Thanks!

Congratulations MrsJ.

I have two followers. One if I don't count you. :)

I really need to work on my social networking.

:-D

I don't use any social networking - I just write about a bunch of random stuff, lol.

[DoodlePanda]

I don't even have a blog... I used to for my cardmaking but it felt like a waste of time as no one was visiting :p
I would like to have one, but I'm not sure if I should

If you enjoy it, you should! I do it because I stopped reviewing on GR. I wanted to keep reviewing AND I decided that - even if the other book site(s) I use were to do something as stupid as GR I would maintain all copyright without question. So now, no matter where I dump a review I always post it to my blog FIRST and then post to whatever booksite (currently Leafmarks).

[DoodlePanda]

I am tempted, but I wouldn't know what to write, so it would probably be a waste of time and I would get fed up after a few days. I don't think I have anything interesting to say that would make people want to follow my blog. *shrugs*

You never know. I felt the same way about people following my blog _ i figured it would be just a few friends to be nice.

And 100 ppl isn't a huge number, lol. And its no indication that they are reading it. So I only blog about stuff I want to blog about. Books, wine, funky news stories, pulling ass muscles (ouch)...

[DoodlePanda]

Lol :)

Surely they must have liked it in the first place when they joined though :)

Yay MrsJ!!!

Doodle, if you think you'd enjoy blogging, you should go for it. I've had insecure thoughts about blogging -- who'd want to read what I have to say? -- but I made myself get back..."


Thanks!

And I agree with you (re Doodle).

[DoodlePanda]

hmm maybe... if I can think of something to write about :)

[Chris , cookie guilt]

I have a blog that I use for reviews. They're all posted on GR as well, so I don't think anyone ever visits it. Still, it's a place I can keep my reviews as a backup in case GR ever gets as worthless as Amazon for reviews.

I actually revived my mostly inactive blog when I joined NetGalley.

Of course, having moved domain to something book-related, I'm now thinking of writing some non-book-related stuff. I had the idea of doing watches/rewatches of shows like Buffy and Farscape and blogging about them as I go. I might start a Tumblr rather than dilute the blog.
"


GET OUT OF MY HEAD. LOL!

I felt funny about diluting it, too. But then I was like fuckit.

But I do want a tumblr or something that I can feed into my blog but I can attach all my favorite book pics I see.

[HomeInMyShoes]

You never know what kind of random serendipity might happen on a blog. I blog for photography, but it touches on the built form, reading, places I've been, just plain whatever.

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

butter on bacon. O_O

does seem it would be gilding the lily.

I read "damfino" as "dam-fee-no". I can't get my brain to see it as "damf-eye-no".

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

Ya know, I read it as dam-fee-no, too. Heh.


Speaking of blogs, a friend suggested to me the other day I shoudl start a blog. Apparently my mini-rants/commentary about the b.s. of corporate America I occasionally post on FB is funny...

But I worry I'd get repetitive really fast.

Plus, knowing me, I'd be all into it for a few months, and then post every now and again out of obligation, and eventually just let it languish entirely...
