Been taking the public transit this week because Ian’s been home sick. Incidents of note:

- Two people discussing google maps. One of them had never heard of it. She made a point of repeating it a few times so she could go look it up later. Geez… you been living in a box or something? Google maps is the best!

True dat. Double true! (Link to the video

on NBC, but apparently they’re anti-firefox; wouldn’t even work with my IE extension in Firefox.)

- Standing on the metro, I was holding onto one of the poles near the door. Some lady got on the train and kept touching my hand. Uncool, lady. Uncool. No petting on the metro.

- The bus I take to and from the metro has a back door that you have to push open. This is different from the only other buses I’ve taken on a regular basis (Blacksburg Transit), which had both sets of doors open at the same time by the bus driver. I noticed this difference the first time I took the bus because I saw what essentially looked like people walking into the door and using their body to force the doors open. Then, I noticed the green light above the door and the large lettering instructing passengers to push the doors open when the light turns green to exit.

This morning, there was someone who was either new to this concept or was incapable of comprehending his part in the bus-exiting process. Because as the first three people exiting through the back doors pushed the doors and he followed, he did not take his hands out of his pockets. And the doors promptly slammed shut in his face

. At which point, he proceeded to stand there obliviously in front of the door. Not angry, confused, or even in a hurry to leave. Just stood there with his hands in his pockets.

Finally, the girl behind him got impatient and reached around him to *magically* push the doors open for him. I don’t think he even noticed her. He definitely didn’t thank her or look around to see how the doors happened to open for him. He got out and there was freedom for all.

- Happy St. Patrick’s day. The one day of the year when it is acceptable to drink before noon. The one day of the year when it is acceptable to start drinking before dawn. There was a group of loud, obnoxious people, who I can only assume were drunk. Early 20s, covered with shamrocks, beads, and crowns/tiaras. I thought a second group of people were with them because they were dressed in similar fashion. Maybe they just originated from the same place.

Anyway, I was on the blue line. One girl in the group was unsure whether they were going the right way. One of the guys kept trying to shush her, telling her they were going the wrong way before. Now they were going the right way. Just don’t worry her pretty little head about it. She figured out they were definitely going the wrong way when we got to National for their third time. She asked someone not in their group if this train was going to Vienna. Sorry, chicky. Wrong color, about 20 miles away.

Thank goodness none of these people were driving, I guess.

If you don’t want to hear a lot about urine, this might be a good entry to skip. You have been warned.

I had a drug test yesterday for my new job. My task: pee in a cup. The problem? I had to pee when I left my office, but was headed to my parents’ place for lunch before the drug test. Time in between: 3 hours.

I thought I could hold it, but by the time I got to my parents’ I knew it was a lost cause. So, 1pm and I had to start the clock over. I drank a glass of water before lunch, one with lunch, and one while we were sitting around chatting. Honestly, I have no idea how long it normally takes my body to process water. Why? Because I’m sane? Actually, because i try to keep myself hydrated, so I’m usually constantly drinking water anyway. And I don’t keep track of the time between trips to the bathroom.

So, I get to the testing facility, fill out some paperwork, and am led to a bathroom. In the past, when I did drug tests, I was handed a cup and told to either leave it in the secret cubby in the bathroom or bring it out to the desk when I’m done. This time, the woman directing me told me to fill the cup half-way, don’t flush, don’t wash my hands. She would wait for me outside the door. At least she didn’t have to stay in the room and watch me pee, right?

My dilemma at this point is that I’m not sure I can fill the cup as much as necessary. I’ll skip the part in between, but suffice it to say, there was spray and I had a brand new dilemma. I now had urine on my hand, which I wasn’t allowed to wash, and pants down while a woman outside was waiting for me to call her back in.

Am I really the only person who finds it exceedingly difficult to pee in a cup? Shouldn’t women get like a funnel of some sort or something? Maybe just a P-mate

I got home today and checked my mail to find that we had some!

Ok, so that part wasn’t so exciting. But I did know that Ian was expecting a package so I asked at the front desk if it had come in. It had and The Addams Family dvd

there was a second package. A mystery package. In a box clearly labeled from Mrs. Fields though. So I knew it was a good mystery package, without so much the mystery. But from who? I had to wait to find out.

I had gotten around to carrying a rather bulky Christmas present in from my car. I picked it up this weekend and it’s waiting to be wrapped, so I figured tonight would be a good time to do that. (Also on my list: put my computer together and line the cabinets with cabinet-y stuff.) So, I’m carrying a box about half the size of me and then she has two more boxes that, together, are about half the size of this box. All boxes that I do not particularly want to drop.

So, go upstairs drop my things and go back down to get the packages. Now, who’s the package from? My realtor. She sent me a cookie package in a little mailbox that says “Home Sweet Home” on the side. So cute. :)

Off to do something with all my free time now!

I’m sad that I didn’t think to bring my camera with me down to VT on my recruiting trip. I figured it was just Blacksburg, right? I’ve seen it 1598 times before, what would I possibly need a camera for?

- Downtown: Main St now has Starbucks, Subway, a parking garage, Ben & Jerry’s, and a bunch of other new restaurants.
- The Inn at Virginia Tech: The new Alumni Center and hotel (with gift shop) on what was formerly the Virginia Tech golf course. Also, instead of little cubbies of public phones lining the walls of a corridor (you know, like some other places have), they had public computer terminals. Free internet! Free computer access!
- Public computers: Now with Firefox!! Disappointing thing: One of the times I used the computers, someone had loaded up IE and left it open. Cool thing: Someone left a window open on the gmail log-in page.
- Donaldson Brown: Now with extra grad student goodness.
- The Fire Hydrants: Now in orange and maroon! They’re so cute. They have orange hats.
- Chemistry and Physics building: The new building they had started when I was there last year is done. Apparently there’s supposed to be some kind of perpetual motion pendulum thing going on inside, but I didn’t know so I didn’t go inside to look.
- Lane Stadium: The new pillars to make it look more castle-like. Well, that and the huge addition to the stadium, but whatever.
- New Dorm: On the corner of Washington St and West Campus Ave.
- Corner of Washington St and West Campus Ave: Now a circle!
- Hokie Passport: Newer and shinier.
- Cassel Colliseum: Now with less “Home of the Fighting Gobblers”
- Marcus Vick: Now with more suck! Ok, that was mean. I’m sorry. It wasn’t all

Hulk psp his fault. They’ll all do better this week. They better! Or… or… I’ll totally trash talk them on my blog again.
- New Residence Hall West: Now with a name!
- The Capri: Ok, so it went away over 2 years ago, but they tore it down and the new building is up and running now. I don’t know what it’s for though.
- The Math Emporium: Not because of anything new or different. It is still there. It is still open 24 hours a day. It is still filled with math. *Awesome*

So, I went down for a recruiting trip and did my work stuff and whatnot. Met up with some friends and met some new people. Tried out a new restaurant and returned to a few oldies, but goodies. I can’t get over how inexpensive that place is. I went out with a bunch of friends and bought drinks for the night and it ended up just over $20. Ok, so I don’t have that many friends left down there. But, those friends do like to drink… Really. Anyway, still. It was cheap.

I stopped by the University Bookstore to pick up something for my sister and ended up getting some Christmas shopping started. :) Hehe. Shh… don’t tell anyone.

Can’t think of any other highlights in the past couple days. Won’t bad-mouth the interviewees on here, so you’ll just have to talk to me if you want to hear stories. Otherwise, those stories get to stay at work!

Oh oh:

Two women and on man were charged with distribution of cocaine in the Centreville area. On Thursday, October 27 detectives from the Organized Crimes Division made arrests after developing information on suspects involved in illegal distribution of narcotics in the area of Lee Highway and Stone Road. During the arrest one suspect brandished a loaded handgun, but dropped it when he was challenged by the police.

The three arrested subjects were held at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center. Nakasha T. W*rren, 28, of 14486 Four Chimney Drive in Centreville was charged with two counts of distribution of cocaine. She was held on a $10,000 bond. Casey Y. G*ter, 35, of 6016 Havener House Way in Centreville was charged with distribution of cocaine. She was held on a $2,000 bond. Marron F. N*wlin, 23, of 13 Place S.E. in Washington D.C. was charged with distribution of cocaine, possession of a firearm by a felon and alter serial number. He was held on a $25,000 bond.

*Sorry… don’t want these people happening past here in case they google themselves.

I am going to preface this entry by saying this happened last night around 9pm. This is not a dream sequence. I am not

Tremors video

making this up.

I went to the Carnegie Science Night lecture with Sonny and then headed back homeward (more on that later). I had forgotten to get gas the night before, but didn’t want to spend the extra 20 cents/gallon in Arlington, so I risked it and headed home with my gas light on.

Almost 30 miles later, I cruise into a gas station ($2.45!) and fill up. I get into my car and hear honking, so I look up:

The main road is completely clear, but Car#1 isn’t going. Then I see Car#1′s reverse lights turn on and back up right into Car#2. What the…?

There was no reason that should have happened. What’s going on?

Then, I’m not sure about this part, but either Car#3 moves forward or Car#2 backs up. Either way, #2 is tightly wedged in between the other two cars.

Seconds later, Car#5 pulls up and before it’s even completely stopped, 5 men dressed completely in black with bullet-proof vests on jump out with guns drawn! I assume the drivers for Car#1 and Car#3 get out the other side in similar fashion (though, I couldn’t see the other side since all the cars were trucks/SUVs).

What is going on? Some gang thing? A weirdly complicated car-jacking, whereby they ruin the car they’re trying to steal?

Should I be calling the cops? Are

they the cops? Should the people at the gas station know what’s going on? Do they care?

Car#6 comes speeding along just after the 5 men get into position and the 6th guy jumps out with gun drawn.

It is at that point when I finally see the front of one of the men and see that the front of the vests say, “POLICE.” Oh good. They’re either a really well-supplied gang or the cops are already here. Time to sneak away!

I went around to the other exit and pull up behind car#4. He has his emergency lights on and waves me around. Oh, look… another cop.

I guess he was the back-up plan. Car#6 might have been in the turn lane next to him originally and then pulled around to back up the other people.

Anyway, I called up my district’s police station today to find out what happened. That was their narcotics team. There was a “narcotics violation.” No other details besides that. I guess I could have stayed around and watched the action, but the arrest wasn’t made until an hour later and I was supposed to meet up with people to watch the VT game (GO HOKIES!). Well, that and I wasn’t really

all that interested in being around for when they start giving away stray bullets.

So, yeah… Just say “No” to drugs.

*Gasp* So hard to keep up with people lately.

Got to thinking about keeping track of people today when I started making up a list of birthdays and special dates I should remember. Also, got around to making a couple phone calls tonight, so I got a little caught up on people’s lives.

Haha, well Sonny

already posted my big news up on his blog, but that’s ok. I’ll still write about it here.

Big News:
I put a bid in on one of the condos Ian and I looked at this past Sunday and, as of Tuesday night, a contract has been ratified. Still need to meet with my loan officer to finalize stuff, do the inspection, and some other things. But so far, things look good. Pictures will be coming when I have them.

It’s a two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo in Alexandria. The location is excellent and will be saving me close to 2 hours a day on my commute and is also close to a Metro station. About 1250 sq. ft., appliances in the kitchen updated within the past decade or so, hardwood floors in the foyer, living room, dining room, and hallway, and a swanky, cool balcony.PCU movie

During one of my summers home, I got tired of sitting around being unemployed. I went around on a job hunt for a little while before settling on a data entry job at a medical lab. This happened to be the medical lab where my mom used to work, but I totally got that job on my own… ;)

The specimens arrived at the lab in boxes on the conveyor belt. They were unloaded and sent down another conveyor belt for the lab technicians to sort and label. Then, the forms and labels came to me to be entered into the database. It was pretty mundane work and there was no internet or games to play when there was a lull. Most of the time I would just bring a book and read for half the day and work the other half. The daytime shift was usually the slowest, so I was the only data entry clerk there. I would talk with the lab technicians or go around trying to do other people’s work, but I got in trouble because I wasn’t “qualified” to feed papers into their scanner or something like that.

The specimens that came through were usually only one of a few different types: blood, stool, urine. Every once in a while they have something else in the mix, like hair, bile or other fluids. But one day, there was a big stir when something came out of the box at the first conveyor belt. It was definitely something out of the ordinary because people actually seemed excited about seeing what it was. You really can’t say that about a stool sample. This sample was in a medium-sized mason jar. Now, that by itself is weird for a medical lab. Samples are supposed to come in vials or hermetically sealed bags or something. Not in mason jars. But that aside, it was obviously the plant inside the mason jar that was attracting the attention. One of the supervisors noticed the commotion and had to get up to the front and take care of that sample herself. I guess, there was a possibility that someone might try to steal it? Anyway, I can’t confirm or deny the contents of the jar, since I didn’t see the results after it was tested. But it seemed pretty obvious to the people trying to get their hands on the jar that it was filled with weed.

In college, I was a member of an engineering team that designed and built a human-powered submarine. It was basically a fiber-glass hull with some bike parts inside for propulsion and controls (it was, of course, much more complicated than that… right…). The majority of the members on the team were ocean engineering students, but we also had some other people heard about us from friends or saw around and stuff. There were aerospace engineers, mechanical engineers, and some math/sciencey people.

The process of designing the sub had us split into different sub-teams, but when it came to construction, everyone helped out. The largest part of the build was the hull. This required a large mold, which we special ordered the last year I was there to work on the sub. In previous years, a plug was made and then the sub built around that. Every year, working on the sub, there were accidents and all kinds of minor “incidents.” But this particular year, we went above and beyond.

The mold that we had made was a female mold. It had an indentation in a large piece of foam in the shape of the hull. We would lay the glass in the mold and just pop it out when it had set. This was better than the male mold we had used previously because the majority of the imperfections in the glass we laid would be on the interior instead of the exterior, resulting in less time needed for sanding.

Every year, there was a tradition of writing our names and the lyrics to Gilligan’s Island in the interior of the sub after it was done, painted, and ready for competition. But this year, a certain member of the team decided that he wanted to be cooler than the rest of us and leave his hand-print in the sub. Now, if you know anything about fiberglass, you’ll know that this is a horrible idea. Instead of just leaving a cool handprint in the sub, he got his hand stuck into the hull. The resin we used didn’t really set that fast, but he had waited until it was mostly set before sticking his hand in it. I guess to leave a better imprint. It backfired though, and stuck to his skin so we weren’t able to pull his hand off.

We ended up cutting a square of glass out of the hull before it was completely set and took him next door to the EMS station. Luckily there were people there and they had some kind of solvent to get most of the goop off the guy’s hand. That piece of the hull was ruined though. Which meant that this hull we had spent weeks getting ready now had a hand-sized hole in it. However, being the clever kids that we were, we worked that into our sub as a “feature.” We made a new square that was separate from the rest of the hull and hinged it in place on the bottom side of the sub. This was our new water release hatch. It actually came in really handy at the competition, so it all worked out.The Omen full movie download About Last Night… movie

When I was living down in Blacksburg, I was living in an apartment with some friends for a couple years. We were on the top floor, so we didn’t get much noise. Everyone in that area was a college student, so we were polite and said hi, but I never really met any of my neighbors. It was almost a year into living in one apartment before I discovered that I knew one of the girls living in my building on the ground floor.

In any case, there was one night when I was back in my room, which was adjacent to one of the rooms in the apartment next to ours. There was a ruckus coming from the other side, but I couldn’t quite tell if it was a party or something else. A few minutes later, I hear a loud thud and can feel the shared wall shake. Hm… It sounded like someone was just thrown against the wall. Maybe something tipped over..? No, there it was again. For the next 20 minutes, my roommate and I could hear them moving from room to room in their apartment fighting. Still, it was through a wall and there was other stuff going on. Maybe it’s not a fight. Maybe it’s a loud party. It was a weekend night, after all.

Then, we heard them start yelling. One was yelling at the other to get up. Someone else responded and sounded like he was crying, begging the other to stop. Uh… Time to call the cops. Told them we had no idea what was going on over there, but it sounded a lot like fighting. It might just be some people being loud, but if they had an officer in the area, maybe they could come check on them. A few minutes later, a patrol car pulls up just as the guys next door start settling down. They claim they’re brothers and they just had a disagreement. Right. The officers escort one of the guys to his car and that was that.Armageddon film
