When you say that you agree to a thing in principle you mean that you have not the slightest intention of carrying it out in practice.
-Otto van Bismarck

blah. i really truly hate fake people. okay hate is a strong word. i dislike, despise, abhor them. how's that? why say something to someone or act a certain way to someone, yet when they're not there, you do/say exactly the opposite of what you just told them? no need to put on an act if you're really not that way. i mean, if you have a problem or anything concerning me freaking say it to my face. don't tell me one thing and then act like everything's hunkydory. because you give me the wrong impression about things, and it just aggravates me to hear that things aren't as you say they are. sorry just need to vent.

blah. so it's been almost 2 months since my old boss left and i was given a new one. we've worked together before and so i figured okay shouldn't be so bad. totally different personality from my old boss, we got along great. this one..i dunno. it's like she'll say one thing, but totally do the opposite instead. she keeps saying she hates micromanaging, that as long as we do our work then everything's fine (that's how all our old bosses have always been). yet for some reason she doesn't seem to practice what she preaches.

i notice more now that everytime she walks past my cubicle she makes a quick glance at my computer screen. i've heard that when i leave for the day she walks over to my cubicle looking at what i'm working on. she'll subtly ask me about something that has to do with another co-worker, but really she's trying to find out more information about what it is that i'm doing (not sure if that made sense). i mean, even when my old boss left she even told me to be careful with so-and-so. yeah i know, it just sucks cuz you always want to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. but man, when they keep doing things opposite of what they tell you. pshh, no respect. this is why, no me gusta la gente fake. haha. you treat me that way, fine i'll do the same right back at you.

anways. onto more exciting news. UMAMI! not you-mahm-mee..oooh-mah-mee. it's a supposed 5th taste, that of "good taste" when eating.. i think they said it's also a 5 taste for msg, haha go figure!

finally it's thursday. can't deal with stupid drama at work. just want to go home now and eat some golden spoon. oooh or yogurtland! that place is freaking awesome. no it's not a pinkberry or fiore or whatever. you actually get a choice of over 10 different flavors. and then you can choose whatever flavors you want and whatever toppings you want. it's all do it yourself. ha, you get charged at the end when they weigh your creation=P. last time i wanted to try all the flavors to see what i liked. was good in the beginning until they all started to melt together..blehh..hehe but anyways yeah, mucho yum-o! check it out. it's right next to taiko..mmm taiko.

hehe only tommy will bust out the history on whom i took a quote=P

umami jay? this is what i got sent:
Definition: No, today's word is not an illiterate reference to your mother but a word representing what many believe is a fifth taste, that of monosodium glutamate! The same taste is referred to as "xian wei" in Chinese cooking.

Usage: The consensus is that the human tongue can detect only four basic tastes: sweet, sour, bitter and salty, and that all other tastes are combinations of these plus smell and texture. Some Japanese, however, contend that we have a fifth taste, that of savory, and they have named it umami "good taste."
