I file everything away to re-visit on Monday.
Then I then start doing someone else's job, and find they have left several days worth of stuff undone. Get that done.
Then I get to do yet someone else's job to end the day - leave about an hour later than usual and encounter drivers from another galaxy.

Finally made it home, had a Guinness & pepperoni pizza, and am settling into my recliner for the evening.

I'm mad as hell and trying to calm down!

How do you get Guinness to stay on the pizza?

You know what would make you feel better? A nice, hot, bubbly bath.

Here.....I drew one for you. Just step in, and relax. Close your eyes.......aahhhhh, now doesn't that feel better?

(You're already stuffed and seasoned)

Where are the carrots, celery, onion etc?
They help sooth those cranky neck muscles.

Doesn't sound like fun. Was this listed in the brochure as "Fun Things To Do Today?" I'd ask for my money back if I were you. Next time choose "Sailing," and "Horseback Riding on the Beach" instead. They are always good. "SCUBA on the Coral Reef" is even better.

I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.

Poorbear!

If you come down here to the Irish pub and drink 8x0,5L Guinness you get a nice funny Christmas hat, looking as a chimney with Santa's legs sticking out of it.

The Pizza is on me

Thanks guys - I couldn't find the pub in the dark, so I stayed home with my furry cat buddies, swilled Laphroaig, and went to bed.

I don't know what I'd do without your unstinting support, especially desertgrandma and her "herbal naturalistic" relaxation therapies!

Your state of mind was obvious, what with the "swilling" and all.

Forget about work and have a good weekend! Swill as needed...

I'm really hungry and I don't feel like getting up, so I'm ordering a pizza. Unfortunately they put me on hold and I think they forgot about me. It's been almost five minutes.

Stitchawl · 12-05-2010, 03:54 AM

Drivers. Not golf clubs. Car. Grrrrrrrrr..............

Drivers... Listen up... do you want to save lives? Then forget world peace.
Visualize using your turn signals.

I can't tell you how many near misses we had today just because the driver in front of us didn't bother to put on his/her turn signals. We were out to catch the last of the fall colors in the mountains too, just like everyone else. OK... there is a possibility that I may have been going a little faster than I should have. (but only Warp 6, NEVER Warp 9!) But if those SOBs used their turn signals before they turned, things would have been a lot smoother for everyone, including the people they cut off in the oncoming traffic lane!

Turn signals actually serve a purpose. They are not just decorative. Being so vulnerable I tend to put my signals on early, then augment them with hand signals too. I really want people behind me to know what I'm planning well in advance so they can take appropriate actions. Save a biker today; use your turn signals.
