So, today I got paid from my job at CAPSIC, but who knew that I could not just receive my paycheck, just like that, I had to get a personal "recibo de honorarios", I still don't know how to get them, but tomorrow I have to go to "hacienda" to get my RFC (Registro Federal de Contribuyentes, or Taxpayer Identification Number) and some other paperwork, I just hate this kind of things :(.
Well, I am so lucky because a friend that works here too let me use one of hers, but it was a pain, I had to get out of my work early to go to my friends work place (she works at another place apart from CAPSIC), and then I had to get back to my job so my boss would sign my check (that was written with my friends name), then I had to go to my friends work place again to give her my check and then we went to the bank to get my money :P
It was a pain, but at least I had a good time with this friend, now I just have to wait for her to tell me how much of taxes I will pay her. And if it isn't that much I told her that I would invite her dinner next time I see her (which would be when I pay her my share of the taxes) :P

Embarrassment...
Today I was talking with a co-worker, I only see her when I have to stay for a meeting, and I have only seen her like five or six times, well she asked for my phone number and I gave it to her, she then called me to register her number (or verify that it was my number, lol). Since I didn't remember her name I used something else to know that it was she.
I think she noticed and asked with what name I saved her number... I had to admit that I didn't remember her name, I do know it, I just couldn't recall it at the moment. She was a little mad and I had to make a bet, I told her that if I remember her name she would forgive me... and give me an ice cube (she had a glass with ice cubes), but first I needed a clue, she gave me the first letter of her name, an S.
I remembered her name instantly, Sandra, and she wasn't mad at me and I won an Ice Cube. But dammit, I hate when I can't remember names, lucky me I did remember it this time, but I might not have it next time.

There is a problem when...
...your dad tells you to play some video games.
For the first time in my life I heard that words from my dad, and it is a problem because for the last month I have done nothing but work most of the time. Since I started programming my dad always asks me if I was programming whenever he sees me, and most of the times it is either a yes or not know, I am working with my other projects.
For the last weeks he has been asking me this because he always wanted me to be an engineer and now that I am working with something similar to what he always thought I would study he seems happy when I say yes, but today while eating dinner I was thinking of something work related, he approaches to me and says that he knows that look, that I was thinking of work, and I couldn't say no, he was right, he also told me that he had not seen me much lately even though I spend most of my time at home.
We started talking about many things, we always do this at the table, either while eating or after eating, at some point he asked me if I was still playing WoW, and I told him that no, I haven't played that since February I think, he asked me what was I playing now since that game was technically the only one I played and I told him that I wasn't playing much lately.
He then told me that since I spend so much time in my computer he thought that I would be at least playing something since my parents always assume that the only thing I do at my computer is playing video games, we talked for a while, at the end of our conversation he only told me to go play any game, that I wasn't allowed to work. LOL, I love my dad, but unfortunately I had to disobey him...

+ points in regeneration
Today Sergio, Michelle, Marjorie (Michelle's sister) and I went to a tribute to the Beatles, I won't talk about it since I think Sergio will do it, as I already wrote I hurt my ankle this Tuesday, it hurt so bad the first day, and I thought it would take me longer to heal, it doesn't hurt too much, just when I make some specific movements, and because of that I can't jump or move to quickly.
Some local bands played at the tribute before the main event (Los Biruls), and between bands they played music, while a band was getting ready the staff put some music to do some riot... well, that is how I see it, back to the point, I was dragged by Marjorie to the mini riot, I was trying to do it, but I really have no coordination for this kind of thing :P, that didn't matter, I was really trying to do it, but I had a bad turn and my ankle hurt a little and I came back to the table we were at.
When the main band was finally twist and shout I don't remember if it was me or Michelle, but we started to jump around and make some good old fashioned "desmadre", I was trying to jump with my right foot mainly so I don't hurt my ankle again, I did land a few times with my left foot, but it didn't hurt that much, it still does sometimes, but I feel like I will be able to move freely soon enough, tomorrow (or in a few hours) I will try to run some laps to see how if it has healed fine.

Yet another awkward day...
Today in the morning I had to go to do some work, a friend bought a new desktop and she wanted me to install some software, but the problem was that she wasn't going to be there, she had to attend an event from our work (we work in the same place), and her father and mother were the ones who had to receive me. I thought it would be a nightmare because I don't know these people, and I am not very good at starting conversations.
I was thinking of getting the job done as fast as I could so I didn't have to stay longer than needed, well, it was in vain, I got there at 10 a.m. and went out at 3 p.m., I finished what I was supposed to do past 11, but all that time I was talking with my friends dad and mom, it was actually pretty funny and interesting. I had breakfast there too and helped them to learn some things, like using wikipedia, how to search in youtube for tutorials and things like that, created their gmail and facebook accounts since they told me that they knew that some members of their family used facebook to stay in contact, and they wanted to do that too.
At 1 p.m. my friend came home, she and another friend that was in school with us, we were talking there till 3 and it was pretty cool and I got another client to check a laptop next week.
Oh, and I ate some cherries like the ones Angelica or Chuy posted some time ago, they were awesome, and I was called a nerd by my friends father... dammit, well, at least that is a compliment to me :P

Awkward situation...
Sergio, another friend and I went to the movies, but since we got there super early we were walking in the mall until it was time to get to the theater. We went to Liverpool (in Las Misiones) and I saw an old classmate, he didn't saw me... or at least I didn't noted that he saw me. I told Sergio and my other friend about him, and asked if they wanted to meet him, I must admit that I didn't want to speak with him, at least I didn't care about it.
We decided not to speak with him and went our way, after that I saw him near us like 4 or 5 times when we were just hanging around, and when it was almost time for the movie to start we went to buy some snacks and he was there, we waited for him to go and then bought our stuff. We got to the room were the movie was being showed and went upstairs since most good seats were already occupied.
Daniel (our other friend) decided that I was the one who should look for seats since, I think, he wasn't competent enough for the task :P, I saw three not so bad seats and went there, I saw this guy again, he was at the first seat in the row I was going to I didn't saw him directly, like if I didn't know him, Daniel I think did the same, but Sergio... I don't know what happened but by the time I realized this guy was talking with Sergio, it was funny because we avoided him all night, but in the end he got to one of us.

Taste...
A few days ago I bought hummus, I have been wanting to taste it from some time now and since I found some here at sams I bought it, it is an artichoke and spinach hummus. Since I have never tasted this food I decided to try it alone first, but just a small bit, I don't wan't to repeat what happened with blue cheese :P
At first it tasted weird, I don't know if it had too much garlic or not, but it sure had a strong flavor, well, next test was with some bread like if it was using peanut butter, this time it didn't feel that strong, but still it needs something more, I tasted it with some tortilla too and chips like if it was a dip, it was ok, but too salty :P
Those were all the tastes I had with it, but yesterday in the afternoon I prepared a sandwich and I used hummus instead of mayonnaise (not a big fan of mayonnaise) and it tasted good, I still need to get accustomed to its flavor, but I liked it. When I have some time I will try to look for some recipes where I can use it, but for now, with some bread it is fine.
