… so I walk into the company cafe this evening (it’s far from a cafe, just some vending machines in a room) and I see that they have finaly finished the upgrade that they’ve been working on. They finaly gave us a new coffee machine that A) takes the new curancy (yeah those notes we’ve been using for over 5 years now.) B) has a cup size larger than a shot glass and C) makes a fairly decent cup of coffee. That’s my simple pleasure for today. I find that life becomes more bearable if we stop and take a moment to appreciate something in our day. It can be anything from beating that high score on Mortal Combat XVIIXLD, to having a good cup of coffee for the money. any other simple minds have a simple pleasure to share? ---

lol… like I said, what ever makes you feel better. I’d say that’s a good start. We must be the only two simple minds here. 😛 I’ve got another one… I’m simply pleased to be reading “Underworld” by Graham Hancick. If you haven’t checked it out in the book store Phil, go to Borders, get yourself a capuchino and spend a half hour looking through it. I think you’d really like the primise, and scientific data that he brings to the global flood theory. ---

I have a simple mind. I am amused by almost anything. Yeah, it was possible that I had ADD but… ooo look… a blinking thing! :beam: ---

I have one… I’ve just completed an absolute b@stard of an addition to our company website, that went live yesterday. Came in to work this morning to find the guys who commissioned it had bought me some chocolates. How sweet and nice is that? 🙂 ---

Yesterday evening, I was so tired I crashed on my bed. It took me 5 seconds to fall asleep, but I had the time to feel the softness of the pillow, and the wonderful smell of my girl. That was a delicious moment. Or was I dreaming already? :love: :love: :love: ---

I just found out I’m moving into a bigger house and I’m getting a new car soon, have a jeep now, but it is getting way too expensive on maintenance and gas cause it’s sponsored so I always have to go to the shows and videos (usually end up braking a few brackets and blowing out the airlockers): > **[MY JEEP - PIC 03](http://telekinesis.deviantart.com/art/MY-JEEP-PIC-03-1199852)** > > This is my jeep, a 98' TJ Jeep Wrangler, I work for one of my dad's local off road companies (Off-Road Unlimted) and he hooked me up like mad! I bought this after I totalled my truck a few months a... I also have a girl now, it’s great, I used to hate dedicating myself to a relationship, but I guess I just met one of those girls that you just want to have forever. Does that count? ---

I feel for you novatake. on the subject of ball sacks (you’d be amazed how often I use that phrase) Last night I watched a guy stapling his ball sack to his leg. I was pleased it wasn’t me. And it’s one of my best friends 18th birthday tomorrow. this week I went round with a video camera getting our friends to leave secret messages and she’ll see them tomorrow. we did puppet shows and stuff on it, that was fun. ---

Don’t get her anything, just say you don’t bother because every day with her is special and you shouldn’t have to wait for a certain day to tell her you love her. My boyfriend said something along these lines this morning, and he left for work with a big smile on his face. 🙂 [SIZE=1]Because I cooked him a lovely fried breakfast. Why, what were \you\ thinking?[/SIZE] ---

today a co-worker colleague that sits next to me, and love to complain about everything - g/f, boss, weight, money, work, sun, moon, rain, etc…- and thinks that i give a damm, coz he´s always complaining to me and no one else boring me to death :sleep: didn´t show up =) I find that work becomes more bearable if the whining guy gets fired 😉 ---

😏 Yeah… Cept for one thing Kitiara… Half the time I see people using that phrase due to the sher fact that they “forgot” to actually get something… Therefore… When I actually “in a true meaning” tried to use that… (had money but wanted to do something nifty)… I got a disgruntled look and a “\*\*\*\*\*ing session”… _rolls eyes_
