It's the most brainless, monotonous, time-consuming, incredibly painful job. And the firm's part-time people are its victims : Me and Michael. Though I think my version is the preferred way, cleanliness wise.

Shredding Day
I think my firm should invest in a shredding company, mainly because I do all the accounting shredding.

EARTHQUAKE!
This cannot wait! I just experienced my first earthquake here in CA and am a little freaked. It happened just a few minutes ago and I never jumped under my desk so quickly in my life! I don't understand why the building is not being evacuated right now - are we not concerned of an aftershock?
People around me are calm and laughing. I am not quite there yet; being the girl from Utah.
OOOHHH, the building just shook again...is that the aftershock?
Okay, I want to get out now.
================================================
12:05 PM - So apparently, there can be more than one aftershock; but, not the same size as the original quake.
News says it was a 5.8.
====================================================
12:30 PM - Just got back from a quick trip outside. I really had to get out. Funny, everyone was eating lunch outside. I wanted to take the stairs but since the fire alarm would go off so I was forced to take the elevators - that was pretty nerve racking.
12:59 - I just realized this is Java's first earthquake too. I wonder how he is doing...
=====================================================
Back at home - exciting day at work today. Came home to a seemingly unaffected Java; he was just happy to see me, as always. My room is a mess! My picture frames fell, one of them on my laptop - but it's working fine. All was restored but one frame - the one from the Strut Your Mutt event in Sugarhouse, UT 2005. The glass cracked in three places.

The Greatest Game
I LOVE tennis! And even if you are not an avid tennis fan, you would've at least appreciated what went down in London today. I was blessed to have witnessed one of the greatest tennis matches in history.
A friend hosted a Wimbledon party and I was welcomed in bearing Peet's coffee at 6 AM. The welcome wore out when I admitted to be rooting for Nadal, and she for Federer. Tough crowd, all Fed fans. No matter who won, we all agreed that it was one of the greatest matches we have ever seen. So intense. Edge of my seat riveting on every single point! This was the match of all matches - the two greats: one seeking his 6th consecutive wimbledon title, and the other hungry for his first and to also become the #1 ranked player in the world. Well deserved. It was an epic, momentus match that broke all records: longest (4 hours 48 min, not including two rain delays); latest into the night; Nadal, latest in decades to win both French Open and Wimbledon in the same year.

Look at these stats! Such a close match up, Here is the match score: 6-4 6-4 6-7 6-7 9-7
Awesome! They bring the best out in each other and this match was not just between physical skill but also mental toughness. That was some great tennis. And this is why I LOVE this game.
If by some bad luck, you missed this momentus occasion, don't fret, I have online access until July 21st to watch this match. If you missed it, let me know and I will set you up for the greatest tennis experience yet in this century.

I want to knit, read a non-school related book, improve my tennis game, organize my room, CLEAN MY DISASTROUS CAR, give Java a bath, frame and hang my art collections, watch the entire season of Buffy, and RELAX!!!!!
The next five weeks will go by quickly.
