Fangirls Can Relax; I Wouldn't Be Able To Fit A Woman In This Refrigerator

I decided that I would use the gift card my mom gave me for Christmas, along with the one she gave me for my housewarming, to buy a mini refrigerator for my office, as that’s where I spend most of my time, and it would spare me the trouble of having to go down to the kitchen to get something cold to drink when I wake up in the middle of the night with my mouth feeling like the Gobi desert.
I wasn’t 100% sure that I’d be able to fit it in my car, though, so I enlisted Kathleen to go shopping with me, as it would definitely fit in hers.



I also needed to pick up some new clothes, as the dress code at the new job isn’t quite as casual as it was at AOL. I grabbed a couple of pairs of Dockers, but I could only find one shirt that I liked:



Okay, no, that’s not the shirt I bought. The box for the refrigerator was ripped open on the bottom, and when I was taking it out of the box I found this shirt stuffed in the freezer. Evidently someone at Wal-Mart felt the need to stash it.
Anyone out there need a size 5T Halloween-themed shirt?
The cashier at the lane we went through caused Kathleen and I to give each other a few “WTF?” looks, as he was this extremely talkative – and utterly gay – male version of a southern belle. Luckily he chose to direct his gregariousness at the woman behind me when I got to him.
After that we stopped at Ruby Tuesday for lunch, where I used the gift card my sister Kim had given me for my housewarming.
While we were there the recruiter from my new job called to inform me that I should be getting an e-mail with a user name and password for the “onboarding” process sometime this afternoon. So far all I’ve gotten is an e-mail from her addressed to someone named Scott telling him to get his drug test ASAP that she CCed me on. I’d be happy to oblige, but a) I’m not Scott and b) I don’t know where I’m supposed to go for the drug test (presumably that information will be part of the onboarding process).
And that’s been my day so far.
Yesterday, thanks to the When Fangirls Attack! link Threshold set a new record for number of returning visits, as many people who had followed the last link returned via the new link. I won’t tell you the number, as you don’t really need to know how depressingly few return visits I actually get.
(The title of this post, by the way, is a comic geek in-joke that I really don’t feel like explaining, but you can go here if you want to learn more.)
