Productivity at work.

I also have an awesome job.  After I finish putting together tax returns, I do my homework, catch up on Facebook, check my email, listen to music, and look out the window.  And, I also have been helping Joanna.  Here are my top picks for her so far.


(I would be willing to chip in for the latex gloves if Joanna chooses this one)





I would be willing to be one of the bamboo stick holders if I'm not too busy at work when Joanna gets married.  I love my job.

Yum, water

I know my birthday isn't for a few months (8), but I already know what I want.  My pathophysiology teacher and member of the missionary medical commitee developed this:

28oz Flip Top Filter Bottle, Advanced 28oz Flip Top Filter Bottle, Advanced
The 28oz Seychelle Water Filtration Bottle provides great-tasting, fresh water wherever you are. Ideally suited for situations where the drinking water source is questionable or not disinfected, it comes with an attractive insulator sleeve.



He developed it on assignment from the Brethren to keep missionaries from getting sick, but it has many additional uses such as:
hiking
camping
water storage
disaster relief

Not only do I want one of these things, you all should too.  Just think, you won't have to store water in case of an emergency.  These are available at the Distribution Center, or online from seychelle.com  I have the discount code for the company (50%), but the Distribution Center is a better deal anyway because you get a second filter with purchase.

Overheard at BYU

I found a new page on Facebook called Overheard @ BYU.  After a bunch of my (Facebook) friends became fans, I checked it out to see what it is.  It is HILARIOUS.  People just quote things they've seen or overheard at BYU, and it's pretty good.  See the following examples:


Math 113, Professor Kutler: "This function diverges in a flagrant and abominable manner."


two girls discussing how one was going to go on a road trip
Girl 1: i am really excited
Girl 2: really? how excited on a scale from 1 to 10?
Girl 1. : 11.5
Girl 2: wow thats really high
Girl 1: yea well ive never been to
idaho before.


In the parking lot, a guy goes to pull out and sees a girl he recognizes. She is wearing head phones and looking at her iPod.
Guy:
Brittany! BRITTANY!!
(honks the horn) - no reply
BRITTANY!
(nothing again) - pulls out his phone and calls her.
The girl pulls out her phone, looks at the caller ID, and puts it away.
Poor guy :)


My little sister is visiting me here and we walk across campus...
Sis: Did you see that boy?
Me: The one who just passed? Yeah.
Sis: The workmanship thereof was exceedingly fine.


Psychology Professor: Now I would never encourage anyone to watch TV on a Sunday, but maybe you should all TiVo it for family home evening!

Why in the expanded universe would Luke Skywalker fly something as archaic as the T-WING?!?!? -Nerds in the ESC


Dr. Bergenson: for you girls in electrical engineering, math, and physics majors, the odds are good but the goods are odd


Last year, I was walking next to the Tanner building behind two guys talking about taking a Bio test. One turns to the other and says: "I'm sitting there praying to know the right answer to a question about the Big Bang theory. Then I realized, why would he give the right answer when they're all wrong?!?" I laughed so hard the pair looked back at me. Only at BYU...


 (In RS, talking about the upcoming Indexing competition) "Indexing increases your chances of getting married by 800%"


"How is it even possible for the BYU chocolate milk to be so good? They must, like, put the spirit in it or something..."
