Today has been a comedy of errors.

My work computer is in the hospital. So, I find another computer to work on. It does not have any of my DOE software. I find something else to work on. The online connection to the Department goes down. I find something else to work on. There is an error in the letters. This computer does not link to the drive I need. I find something else to work on...it does not end. The details of these problems are often minute and hit you at submachine gun rate.

But we smile smile smile and laugh laugh laugh after each process breakdown because that is what robots get paid to do.

Sigh...

I can't find my tweezers and I want to do my eyebrows
My room is a mess
I am too slack to do any tidying

The above are all connected

Keep smiling Shawnee!

I've been back in the job (ie. re elected) five minutes and I am already in trouble :P Watch this space, I could be facing disciplinary action lol....they may even withdraw the whip!

what's wrong, Dana? Late to the orgy were you? AGAIN? No wonder you'll get the whip!

;)

Fingers crossed for you chicken.
I understand if you can't post what you did, but I'm impressed the brown envelopes got to you so quickly.

She was caught being honest with her constituents. ;)

Ugh. The Father and the Husband cannot have a 5-minute conversation about the weather without getting bitchy at each other. Literally, my dad called to warn us about a big storm coming our way tonight, and somehow this turned into a pissing match about how our digital cable (and its accompanying weather channel) works. Fucking alpha males, I swear to God...

My personal as was removed from Craigslist :mad:
Only mildly irritating because I had as many responses as a girl could need, I'm just annoyed that someone saw fit to flag it.

I hope their random clicking deletes something they really need today - gah!

Why did they pull it. Sundae?

lol. Got 'em, opened 'em, spent 'em :P


Put simply, I voted against the group line in Full Council. Myself and one other group member. It was a three line whip, so voting contrary to the group line is a disciplinary matter :P

We are leaving for 3.5 days and are leaving our 18yr old and 16yr old home alone. I wonder if they will let the dogs out and feed them? I wonder if they will drink all the beer? I wonder if they will have a big assed party? I wonder if they will burn the house down?

I will try not to think about these things.

Ahh, Merc - the memories are flooding back - those truly were the best of times. The drinking, the drugs, the partying, the girls, the sex..... Just make sure they know your room is off limits.

The biggest events were always in May. You still had the school network available to get the world out, people were getting ready for the big summer break, relationships were getting fully realized, and it was the last chance to get everybody together and get this done.

A good idea is to make sure all bookcases, china cabinets, etc. are bolted securely to the wall with a molly bolt or other secure method. Some homeowners assume that nobody is going to put undue stress on them, and never bother to attach it to the wall. But a big heavy structure can tip and cause very serious injury.

It's a good idea to have fire extinguishers located on every floor of the house, and an additional one in the garage. They are not that expensive. Instruct everyone in the household on how to calmly use the device.
