Listening to music at work (through earphones) really can make a difference. Too bad I have ghetto speakers - the cord is like a foot long, so it can barely reach the back edge of my desk, plus my right speaker doesn't work. So I have to listen to the music through my left earphone in my right ear (because the speaker is so far away because of the short cord, my earphones can only reach my right ear, and that's if I sit right right up to my desk). ghetto, but hey, it works! (well... sometimes. Other times neither speaker works, so I have to play with the ghetto one-foot long cord and push it around and pray that music eventually will come out of that left earphone. This morning I wasted a good 20 minutes trying to get it to work.) Many thanks to my coworker peter for providing cds upon cds of mp3s, although he claims he has no knowledge of some of the interesting songs I see on them... right. ;)

I know too many Johns and Peters. Stop naming your babies john or peter, please. Once, I had lunch with three peters. Yes, I went to La Burrita with peter hyun, peter kim, and peter choi. People we ran into would greet us as "hi karen.... and... peters." Actually, add andrew to that list as well. Too many of them around too.
