If You're Not You Should Be....

If you are not listening to the Ricky Gervais show you are a fool.




It is truly brilliant. Episodes 9 thru 12 are available at the iTunes music store's podcasts or here. Please, please listen. If I may suggest, you should do yourself a favor and listen to Episode 8 here. They start reading Karl's diary. It may make you have to pee just a little.

The Skin of My Not So Yellow Or Country Teeth....

I may have just escaped awkward and uncomfortable training nonsense in Atlanta by using a tactic I like to call "Avoid Eye Contact With Boss."

Ponderings...

I am currently avoiding my boss (whose office is across the hall from mine) so that I don't have to attend even a second of a Wildland Urban Interface Train the Trainer session in Atlanta tomorrow. There "may or may not" be even a second for me to announce the project I am working on to the class and my doing so will "most likely step on the toes of the trainer." Also, the two day training session will consist of some sort of passing around of a ball of yarn and trust falls. I think I can curl up in a ball under my desk for the rest of the afternoon and get out of it.

I recently learned that Folkston County Georgia, home of the Okefenokee Swamp has no planning department whatsoever. Their top employers include International Paper Company, Fulgham Fibers, and Universal Forest Products. Nice!

Unlike Bryant Gumbel, I LOVE L-O-V-E LOVE the Olympics. In particular I love the winter Olympics. I can do without all of the opening and closing ceremony stupidity but count me in for skijump and bobsled. How often does one get to watch short track speed skating, down hill skiing, curling, etc.? The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Fuck Yeah!

That Guy....

Dear Nice Lady in the Office Next Door to Me,

Where the hell are my girl scout cookies??

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY...you saps...

I Took a Shot to the Face and Chest and All I Got Was....

Photoshop Woes....

I have been trying, with NO success at all, to photoshop my head on this.

Ponderings....

I just saw a guy driving a Prius and smoking. It seemed very ironic to me.

My dentist yelled at me yesterday for not wearing my flipper. Clearly, he has never been subjected to a life with a flipper and couldn't possibly know how incredibly annoying they are. Clearly, he doesn't understand that every morning I look at that thing and curse myself for ever wishing I could have a retainer when I was a kid. Clearly, he doesn't get it that I am not rich and cannot currently afford the 3000 dollar surgery so that I never have to look at that damn thing again. Clearly, I did not understand that not wearing the flipper may cause the gap in my teeth to close up making the 3000 dollar surgery impossible. Clearly, I was the idiot. Today the flipper is in and I am not complaining.

I currently require 9 hours of sleep to be able to be a functioning member of society.

I started TiVoing a knitting show this past week and I am petrified to think of what that says about me.

Like Watching A Train Wreck...

I woke up late and was 10 minutes late to work. Oh, who am I kidding. I am always 10 minutes late to work. I could wake up at 4 in the morning and still be in my office at 8:10. None of my usual tricks (setting two alarms, making the time on my clock 30 minutes fast, leaving my cellphone in the living room with the alarm set so I have to get out of bed to turn it off) are working. I am just really into sleep these days.

Following my frantic race out of the house, I had to get into my office and finish up about a half an hours homework that ended up taking forty-five minutes. Then I raced to my class (Transportation Modeling) and realized upon arrival I had left both my notebook and homework sitting on my desk. AWESOME! I raced back to the office and grabbed sed homework and then ended up being fifteen minutes late to class.

Upon my return to my office, the coffee mug that I thought was emptied during class had spilt all over my bag and soaked my W-2 forms. I also forgot to put on deodorant today.

BEHOLD!! GIANT JELLYFISH.....
