A funny thing happened on the way to lunch yesterday

I took a friend to lunch for her birthday on Saturday. That was a lot of fun. On the way, though, I saw someone else whom I used to be friends with headed in sort of the same direction. As I drove into the parking lot I found myself hoping she would not be there. I just wanted to have lunch with... Sign in to see full entry.

The Unholy Goddess of Infatuation Has Struck Again

Yup, I am in that mindless, irrational, head over heels state of being. I say unholy goddess because she always catches me off guard with this. I know she's there. I hear her laughter every time she sets me up. I end up a frog wishing he had the power to transform himself into a prince so that his... Sign in to see full entry.

Too Many People Who Know Too Little About It

Spend too much of their time trying to use psychology terms to describe what they think is wrong with others. That's not when I want to hit them, though. Then if I try to tell them they are full of crap, they say, "You're in denial" or "Denial is the first sign." That's when I want to hit them. Sign in to see full entry.

Did It Ever Occur To You That Now is NOT The Time?

I was listening to Coast To Coast AM with George Noury. One of his guests was Richard C. Hoagland. The topic had to do with NASA and the Cassini probe. Some IDIOT caller tried to connect the discussion with the Iluminati. I turned off the radio for about a minute and then turned it back on when I... Sign in to see full entry.

FREED!!!

The sister of a woman on my crew is now OUT of Iraq and at her new duty station in Germany. I am cheering that we got one out of that place, but what about the thousands who are still stuck there? Sign in to see full entry.

I am ashamed to call them coworkers

We are running a Black History Month quiz in our classifieds section. The people who put this thing out neglected to run spellcheck. They listed singer Mary J. Blige as "Mary J. bilge" They listed John Henry "Pop" Lloyd as "John Henry "Pop" Llyod" This looks BAD people!!! Hopefully the folks who'll... Sign in to see full entry.

We had the discussion anyway

On Tuesday 2/15 I wrote a post about my decision to cancel an appointment which was scheduled for Friday 2/18. Well I got a call on Thursday from the "counselor" who is little more than another breed of FTHPSJ (Fast Talking High Pressure Sales Jerks). I figured that if I treated the call like I do...

Finding stuff

Why is it that when you are looking for something you always find stuff you were looking for weeks or months ago? It's like when you are looking for something you go to a giant celestial warehouse staffed by evil prankster elves who operate a conveyor system that delivers everything you were after...
