I Made A Funny At Work Today

By -
So we had a big 90 minute meeting at work today to let us lesser workers know more about how the new warehouse software really is the best thing since sliced bread even though after 7 months there are a lot more people with gray hair now then before the new advanced warehouse system.

And a question about receiving widgets came up and my boss brought out the tired line about the two theories of receiving widgets.

Boss: There are two theories about receiving widgets
Me: Tell us. Tell us both of them.

Well I laughed anyway

This IS The Fun Part! said…
I used to work for a HUGE bottling company in Charlotte (tax accountant). Without fail, some idiot in a widget meeting would actually ASK what a widget is!

It was usually some "golden boy" in the up and coming middle management level . . . who would disappear soon after!

We would almost always make bets on who was going to ask THE question before the meeting started. I made $10 one day!

54 MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS A YEAR

By -
this has been pissing me off for a long time so tonight i decided to use my ancient portable computer machine to save the government 54 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR (and yes I am sure I am not the first person to run these numbers) Drop congressional and presidential and VP salaries from 174K and above to 100K each (hey they still have to eat) Charge members of the house and senate who live in their damn office $1000.00 a month rent, up the gym membership from $20.00 to $1020.00 a month and for ex members $5000.00 a month (hey K street will pay it for the access) Ex Presidents? NO PENSION FOR YOU YOU ARE ALREADY RICH (and for the exes this figure does not include staff salaries etc etc) Since I am bad with "teh google" this doesn't count what we pay for their health care. Lets let them pay for their own damn insurance 54 million. A lot of money. Pell grants anyone? Or how about repaying Social Security? Or a whole lot of other uses for "our" money we give these

Lessons in Bad Parenting: Lesson 6

We'll call this one "Kids are really freaking stupid." I would like suggestions as to an alternate name for The Boy in light of yesterday's events. I like the way that DCup changes the name of her youngest Spawn depending on behavior--from Cupcake to Resident Evil. I want something along those lines. The Boy plays all the time, every chance he gets, with the boy down the street. His name is Cesar and I've mentioned him before. Cesar lives exactly three doors down from us on our side of the street. So, we don't really worry about The Boy heading on down there on his own. As a matter of fact, The Boy has very definite limits to his ability to roam. He's allowed exactly from one speed bump just the south of our house to the speed bump just north of our house. That's the extent of his free area all of which is easily within eye shot of our front porch. See below: Yesterday, The Boy went out at about 3:30 or so to go play with Cesar. At 4:00, Ces

Maybe It Is Time To Stop Being Angry

By -
My sister Sheri sent me one of "those" books on death and dying and blah blah blah with a nice note saying it really had helped her deal with Michele's death. I was telling a friend about the book tonight and he asked if I was going to read it. "No I'm not done being angry yet." I answered. Tonight I complimented myself on how profound I was for knowing this about me. Wow I've got this all under control. Process step B underway. No problems here. And then I really thought of something. I'm afraid if I stop being angry I won't have anything left. I know something else is there I just can't seem to see it right now. Michele would SO kick my ass if she saw me doing this.
