full blown nerd and the promise ring

This title actually describes two different stories.

Full Blown Nerd refers to the fact that this evening I am downloading a media management program onto a laptop for my second job, while reading the directions that were emailed to me on my personal laptop. Double fisted laptop usage definitely refers to full blown nerd-dom.

The Promise Ring refers to the 50+ year old woman that I work with that came into work today wearing a "Promise Ring" from her 50+ year old boyfriend, whom she lives with, and telling everyone that it was a "pre-engagement ring". Seriously? You are over 50. Promise rings are for 15 year olds who think that their first boyfriend is the love of their life. Pre-engagement rings are also for teenagers who aren’t legally able to marry. That ring also refers to the fact that at over 50 years of age, this guy most likely wants nothing to do with marrying this woman, and he just wants to get her off his back. I would think the fact that they own a house together would be "promise" enough.
The fact that she wore a shirt the matching color of her ring and painted her nails, and told every single person that crossed her path also just made it wrong. I have named the ring "the one ring to rule the world"

Oh yeah, and one other thing.
The space- time continuum was disrupted today at lunch when the Brothers stole our table, Big Dog sat about a foot away, and everyone was just encroaching. It was uncomfortable, bizarre, and threw everything all off.

methinks you may be a female PUTS. Although I am not one to talk as I have become an official stalker....I may or may not have taken pictures of Big Dog's probable home on my cellphone tonight....which may have meant that I had to pull into the driveway, put my window down and take a picture with the cell phone that i had to have ready, in picture taking mode prior to said entering of driveway.....I think I need to go to rehab like all the celebs.
