I know that there has been much lacking here on the old blog recently. It's because I have moved to a new location and have been working hard on the redecorating! :)
So, there's nothing witty or exciting there yet, but http://www.livejournal.com/users/em_porium is my new home. And, by popular demand, you will be able to comment on my musings. That's right!

I just have to go on a little diatribe here. I work in an office where they order a lot of food. Today, they had a breakfast meeting and they ordered muffins. After the meeting, there was food left over so they left it out for everyone to eat. Now, I can understand that some people may not want a whole muffin because they already had breakfast or whatever.

This is where my frustration lies today: I don't know html. I want to format and fix this site so it looks more "Em-ish" and I can't figure out the damn code. I am a frustrated website designer at heart.
How do people, for instance, make more than one page? Do I have to get a paid site to do that? Why the hell is the font so freaking big? How can I fix that???

I just have to say right now that I love Rhode Island. Wanna know why??
Because tomorrow is Victory Day in Rhode Island, and I don't have to go to work. In fact, the office is closed. Ahhh...
I know what you're thinking: what is this Victory Day that you speak of??? And why don't I get it off??
Well, I'll tell you. Now gather around little children. It's time for a (Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14537192309802324252noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5615016.post-1060313067586443752003-08-07T22:24:00.000-05:002003-08-07T22:24:27.583-05:00The Two Bobs

So, I was trying to decide how to kill a half hour before my next meeting and checked out "blogs of note" on the main Blogger page. That's when I found Alex's website. She's done something that's inspiring to me. She quit working for corporate America and decided to become a writer. She just decided one weekend while on vacation that she was going to give her notice and Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14537192309802324252noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5615016.post-1060029008791122032003-08-04T15:30:00.000-05:002003-08-04T15:30:08.763-05:00Honorable Mentions
I was recently asked by Ms. Dolores Radlo how she could get a spotlight mention in this blog. We discussed it, and now here it is. A bio can be obtained from her website.
I thought that I would forward along all information about honorable mentions for all of you who might be interested in the future:

While my weekend was not as funny as SNL, it did have its moments. :) (Actually, it was probably funnier than SNL, which has gone from bad to worse in my estimation.)
Friday
Friday we had a surprise party for Dolores at her house. Now, surprising Miss Dolores Radlo is quite a feat because she will question and try to help out with any alternate plan that you try to think up.Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14537192309802324252noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5615016.post-1059752555872847922003-08-01T10:42:00.000-05:002003-08-04T15:46:18.880-05:00T.G.I.F.
I am an administrative assistant for 5 people. Today, only one of them is in the office. I know a lot of people who would be at their wit's end with nothing to do for most of the day. I have to say, I am not one of those people. Wasting time doing nothing and still getting paid...now that's something that I can get behind while sitting on my behind! :):)

I don't want this Blog to become a whole lotta complaining about everything. So, I'm going to suggest a new show and some other things that I absolutely love in hopes that you too will grow to love them. :)

Please Hold. Your Call Is Important to Us.
I didn't write anything yesterday because I was actually immensely busy at work. No one understands the data entry program that codes all the donors and volunteers for mailings and stats. Because of this, there are a huge group of people who work with the organization but are not listed in the main computer system.

Ever get to that point where you forget what you were just going to do? Yeah...that's just what happened to me. I finished the entry before this one and just couldn't remember what I was doing.

I never really felt one way or another about sticky notes until the other day when they told me at work to write out 300+ of them and keep them categorized. I thought that once I wrote out the said sticky notes, that would be that. Oh no, I was mistaken. Today I got the job of re-typing the list of sticky note phrases dividing them into further categories. Oh joy.

So, I work for this large non-profit agency in Rhode Island. You could probably figure out who I mean, but I enjoy being a little vague from time to time. :)
Right now I'm an administrative assistant. I am not being snooty when I say that I am over-qualified to copy, print, type and fetch food for other people. This is not what I got a Master's degree for, Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14537192309802324252noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5615016.post-1059407814189541992003-07-28T10:56:00.000-05:002003-07-28T15:28:51.643-05:00Weekend Wonderland
If anyone was in my hometown this weekend and couldn't find me, it's because I was hardly ever there. Let me give you the play by play.
Friday
My Memere's birthday. Went to dinner at her house, and brought a pie from my all-favorite place for desserts: Gregg's. Then I went to the mall to see "The Matrix Reloaded" on IMAX.
Hint for people going to see that movie: don't go Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14537192309802324252noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5615016.post-1059166663080706662003-07-25T15:57:00.000-05:002003-07-25T16:00:53.670-05:00The Blues Traveled to the Rocky Coast
Last night I drove down to the Cape with some friends to the Melody Tent to see Blues Traveler perform.
I'm a big fan of their album, Four, and I knew that they did other stuff, but didn't know what. It was a high-powered show. John Popper is a shadow of what he once was size-wise. Harmonica-wise, he's better than ever. I just wish that they had Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14537192309802324252noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5615016.post-1059163811846857642003-07-25T15:10:00.000-05:002003-07-25T16:01:22.486-05:00For the First Time EVER
Since this is my initial post I guess that I'm supposed to say something that befits the occassion. (I used "befits" in a sentence to show I went to college and that I mean business.) So, maybe I should have a little history and mission statement about how I got to this blog.
