se habla espanol..

Helloooooooo everyone!! ok, there's something that i should have posted yesterday, but that i completely and totally forgot about.. so here goes.. it has to do with "d"'s weekend.. yeah.. you remember her, don't you?? She was my competition during the hula-hoop olympics.. or, maybe you might remember her as being the best friend that i keep mentioning that lives in NYC and we've known each other for 20 years now.. bla bla bla.. ahahahahah.. well, i live in the dream that i have new readers.. so you know, gotta let them know :)

Anywayyyyy.. back to the story.. so, on sat. night, "d" was in the city hanging out with friends.. basically, that means that there was dinner.. and there were drinks.. and well.. you guys should see "d" when she drinks.. it's one of the reasons i'm still friends with her.. ahahhahahaha.. so.. she calls me at like 12:45 my time.. meaning 3:45 am in manhattan.. and she's going on and on about her night.. so i ask her where she is.. and she says she's looking for an atm so that she can get a cab back home.. that sounds normal right? Yeah.. stay with me.. she gets to her first ATM and tells me (in slurred speech) that the ATM won't give her an english option.. and that it's "speaking in spanish".. which, i think.. is a possibility.. until she calls me back and tells me that the 3 ATM's she tried out.. not one.. THREE.. ALL SPOKE IN SPANISH!!!!!!! (that, in itself doesn't sound possible to me.. but whatever) So i asked her to read it out to me.. so that i could try to figure it out for her.. and she goes... "noooooo se pledu lre su tarkahogineta".. and i go WHAT?? So.. she repeats.. what i just wrote above.. so i try to guess what she's trying to say and go "no se puede leer su tarjeta?" (your card cannot be read).. and she goes.. yeahhh.. that's it! If you're wondering how i was genius enough to translate that.. well.. it's been 20 years.. i mean.. come on now :)

But seriously.. i am still laughing about it.. how this girl does it is beyond me.. but she's a keeper.. i told her this the other day.. the reason we're still friends is because she keeps coming up with new stuff.. ahahahaha.. i mean.. it's constant entertainment.. like i'm actually friends with 20 something different people.. ahahahahahaha.. LOVES IT! :)

Ok.. well.. i guess i need to get back to work.. this excel project is KILLING me.. and the guy that is sending the files over for verification.. well, let me just say that he has absolutely no idea what he's doing.. he has re-sent that same file 6 times today.. i mean.. honestly.. i read a quote somewhere that said that if people took a little bit of time and did things right the first time.. we'd have years of extra time.. that sounds about right to me!

back to excel hell (ahahahahah.. i love how that sounds!!)

    your friend "d" sounds pretty entertaining- I bet she's a lot more fun than you are.

    wow.. you see how it works.. "d" writes comments also.. but pretends that it's not her.. so i threatened to "unveil" her.. so her REAL name is D I O (i'll leave the last two to your imagination).. and her phone # is (646)... - .... (you've been warned!)

    ahahahahahahah
