Favoritism

I'm obviously playing blog favorites here. All I do is work and hockey, and I figure you guys are tired of hearing about work and not all that interested in learning about what new and exciting ways I've found to injure myself, so...yeah. Sorry about that.

I do have non-work things to talk about today!

The most exciting thing to happen this week: I found some vandalism on a Wikipedia article, and I submitted a correction and got an email from the Wikipedia information team thanking me! Okay, so it sounds a lot less thrilling now, but it totally made my day. I took a screenshot for posterity:


First of all, if you're going to vandalize Wikipedia, at least spell "douchebag" right. Second of all, farting? Really? Who messed with this page? A fourth grade boy?

I had to do some legitimate, work-related research on whether or not triple rainbows actually existed (they do), hence the "Rainbow" page.

Other non-work thing: I went running on Wednesday. It didn't suck as badly as I thought it would, but my front calves* hurt like a mother. I was going to go again today, but I managed to seriously injure my knee while skating yesterday. Things popped. It was not good. But I'm all hopped up on acetaminophen with codeine, which is helping with the pain and making it so I can walk. No hockey for me on Sunday, though. Super bummed.

What else? Oh! We went on a field trip to our new office today. It's pretty swanky. Top floor (out of two, but it still counts). Indoor waterfall/rainforest type thing, which is weird. The trees and water combo somehow make it really humid in the lobby, which is also quite strange. It's like stepping from Mountain View into Miami...and then back to Mountain View again. And we'll actually get our name on the door! I'll take pictures when we're officially moved in.

I think that's about it, guys. S, have an awesome time in Jozi. I expect a slideshow when you return! And H, don't die of heat exhaustion.

*I'm sure there is a more scientific name for the muscles over your shins, but I don't feel like looking it up.
