UD Word of the Day
BEDGASM
A feeling of complete and utter euphoria which peaks when climbing into bed at the end of an 18-hour workday, a long road trip or hours of extremely strenuous physical activity. Under perfect conditions, the physical release has been likened to that of an intense sexual experience.
I’m looking forward to this at the end of today.

BLACKBERRY PRAYER
The supplicating position one assumes when grasping the popular six-ounce wireless combination e-mailer/phone known as the BlackBerry between your palms and thumb-tapping messages on its QWERTY keyboard. Also true of other QWERTY keyboard cell phones.
My coworker Kate engages in blackberry prayers all day.
so spot on.

LAND IT IN THE HUDSON
An expression used to encourage yourself or someone else when it appears an endeavor is headed for a disastrous outcome (due mostly to external conditions). Based on when Sully averted tragedy by successfully landing US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River. See also, “Land it like Sully.”
I am making a wish list of things I really want. Things I also don’t want to forget once I have the necessary funds.

MOUSE ARREST
Getting grounded from the family computer.
Change
Nope, not Obama-esque change. Just changing small things in life.
I’ve recently decided to start slowing down while driving. I don’t do well since I have the heaviest foot in the world. I can’t help that. So as to ease the process, I have started speeding up and clicking the cruise control. It definitely helps when there is no one on the roads in the morning.
Today is day 5 on...

BLIND TRANSFER
When someone calls your office phone and you transfer them to a random number from a department you choose because you either can’t find the correct number or you don’t feel like looking it up.
Belated Unborn Story
Recently, I went to see the movie the Unborn. I took my buddy Ryan (who had barely a clue what this movie was), since my little lady has a thing about ghosts and children. So safe to say, this movie was rated R for Amanda.
For those of you who have not seen the previews allow me to explain, the preview shows a scene of what appears to be a man who is howling in pain. The twist? Well, the twist is...
My road rage
This is something that will forever bother me about winter-laden states in the U.S.
Snow hysteria.
This phenomenon is when some drivers panic when the little amount of snow amounts on the ground. Case in point, the last small storm (earlier this week) I was traveling 45 (minimum speed on a highway) on a snow-dusted Hwy. 16. It was not to my surprise that a car ahead of me was traveling slower, I...
Reasons why I love my job:
1. I am my supervisor for the most part. Nobody bothers me about my work. I get it done.
2. I have full priviledge to the internet. Nothing is blocked, e-mail, video, music. The world is open to me.
3. My higher-ups watch my comedy videos with me and think they are hilarious (not offensive or unprofessional).
4. My higher-ups text all day.
5. Everybody compliments me on my professional dress...
The Darkest American Dream
I’ve been applying like fire to the recent boom in forensics positions around the country with no avail to location.
It makes me excited to be on the path to my dream again. It makes me more excited (well myself and my wife) that all of the positions are not in the midwest.
I’ve had enough of Milwaukee. With the exception of a few people who know themselves, Milwaukee is played out...

I AM THREADLESS
Since I felt like taking an extra couple minutes on my lunch for the lack of a lunch yesterday, I went on threadless to check their shit out.
Pictures coming soon, but needless to say I’m Threadless-less.

PARKED IN GOOFY
When you park your car in a very large parking lot and have to practically take a tram to get back to it. Each section of the parking lot at Walt Disney World is labeled by character names, and Goofy is the section farthest from the ticket center.
