ranting on leg use and anti-ranting on roommates

rant part: Fucking hell. ive been dealing with this for a while now and because of my suddened and rather extreme desire to just drive somewhere and see how starting over feels i think i almost snapped today.
im at my little cube like area, laptop frantically running behind me desktop threatening the fourth blue screen in a week. phone rings.. wait that wasnt jsut one phone... it was two???
m-[insert my name here] Downs (when i must refer to my employer i will uses this pseudonym) IE
boss1 (heretofore to be refered to as Rawker) -i think these numbers look strange
[note at this point i hear him through the phone and speaking into his speaker phone about 12 feet away
m-{confused by .5 second delay between him bellowing in the office and through the reciever} okay, how are they weird
rawker-they just dont look right
m-okay ill look into that
rawker-good
m-bye
rawker-dial tone

okay.. if you didnt get it, he is calling me from 12 feet away using the speaker phone.. am i not worth the 6 steps to talk face to face?
or even better (and more common.. i think it happend 2x today)
{ring}
m-[insert name here] Downs IE
rawker -{via speakerphone} can you come into my office.
m-{disbelief} okay..
arg..

now the anti rant..
so my roommate is nuts.. in a good way.. she makes at all kinds of weird times and tongiht she made some blueberry cake thing and brought it over on a plate with icecream and a strawberry.. i put a picture on flickr lifeInverted on Flickr.. it was good.. i really dont understand how i got so lucky with this chick... check out her feet while you are there..


alas alack i want to go back
