My department "holiday party" was earlier this week. We all went out to Chevy's (at our own expense . . . heaven forbid they actually pay for employees enjoyment) and did a little ornament gift-exchange game thing. Initially, I wasn't planning on going. But on Monday I was informed by a couple co . . . (

Someone recently asked how my home repairs/improvements are coming, pointing out that I have not posted about them in quite some time. Um, yeah, I haven't. Mostly because I've been lazy busy and haven't really been working much on the house. However, I recently had cause to actually get off my du . . . (

Years and years ago, a friend of mine had this idea. He thought that every licensed driver should be issued a gun. Not a bang-bang-kill-you-in-a-drive-by gun, mind you. His idea called for a gun that would shoot a powerful magnet with a red flag attached to it. The plan being that any time you s . . . (

Okay, I know I've been slacking in the blogging department. And I usually try to keep things light & fun on here. But what the hell was Whoopi Goldberg thinking when she defended Michael Vick?!?!
Goldberg said that "from where he comes from" in the South, dogfighting isn't that unusual.

Conversation overheard (and participated in) during lunch at work:
"You know what movie is really good? Momento."
"I really liked What Dreams May Come"
I know this may not appear to be all that interesting. But bear in mind that everyone in the room heard "wet" instead of "what", and one gi . . . (

The other day I was having lunch in the break room. One of my co-workers was reading the newspaper. She suddenly turned to me and asked "Is Hilary Clinton running for President?" I was a little shocked that someone didn't know the answer, since you can't hardly turn on the TV, surf the Internet o . . . (

The doctor I saw on Wednesday about the problems I've been having is a bit of a moron. Three weeks ago my regular doc referred me to him. After his initial exam, he essentially said "Gee, I dunno what's wrong. Take these meds and see me again in 3 weeks." Wednesday he essentially said "Gee, the . . . (

I just got home from a round trip visit to Southern California. A touch over 1,000 miles in 2 days. So, I'm tired. And all I have to say is this: SoCal drivers are idiots. Morons even. And many times, arseholes as well.

Remember how just a moment ago (well, okay, not really "just a moment" . . . maybe from your perspective as a reader, but as far as writing goes, more like "just a week ago") I was commenting on how unbearably cold it is in my office? Well, they're finally doing something about it. The problem is . . . (

There are disadvantages to having a desk near a window. While it's nice to be able to look out and see various attractive women walking around, my particular windows have a major draft. Today, it was 58 degrees at my desk (yes, we had a thermometer), not counting the windchill.
I was watching O . . . (
