**spats** , oh, the office \*\*is \*\* getting a reboot. That would be when co-worker and I leave in September and they get to deal with cow-orker who will be all by her lonesome and as clueless and helpless as a newly weaned calf. Theyā€™ll have some fun then. Our supervisor might have to learn what our jobs entail and she may even have to, gasp! _supervise_! The horror, the horror! **rosie** , I like your cover letter. In the right environment, your resume might even go directly to the top of the stack. In fact, I worked for a boss once who probably would have hired someone with a cover letter like that, assuming the resume matched the job. My cats have watched **mice** run across the floor and then turned and looked at me all ā€œcanā€™t you do something about the vermin?ā€ Forget about insects. Although, Keisha still occasionally tries to catch her tail. Once, she did catch it and \*\*bit \*\* it. Normally, sheā€™s pretty smart, but that one timeā€¦ ---

Smokey likes birds, but as ā€œvideoā€ entertainment only, since sheā€™s not allowed outside. The occasional creepy crawler that finds its way into the house gets the same reaction **Jahdra** ā€™s cats display. Smokey will sooner chase a shadow on a wall than something she can actually put her paws on. ---

[QUOTE=eleanorigby] [QUOTE=Originally Posted by Ellen Cherry] Reading about porn set-ups reminds me of my old grudge against word problems in math. Iā€™d get all engrossed in the story and the BAM they throw in some ridiculous problem that can only be solved by formulating some sort of ā€¦ what do you call it? ā€¦ equation. I wanted to know WHY theyā€™re on the train. Where are they going? Is it to visit distant relatives? Meet a clandestine lover? Plot a murder? So much more interesting than math. [/QUOTE] Yes! And WHY did the Thompson family decide to go to Colorado for their vacation? Who cares how far it was and how long would it take them? Why there? Why not somewhere closer to home or far more exotic?

Tskā€¦Tskā€¦ **Sean** you are _such_ a middle aged straight white guy! Missinā€™ out on all the good Pr0n and such. šŸ˜› ACBG is working tonight, poor thing. So, at four p.m. we met up at DQ to grab sumpā€™n to eat and talk for a bit. DQ was the choice of \ restaurants \ because I had this coupon for buy get one free 16 ounce Blizzards [sup]TM[/sup] since I just had a birthday. See, I signed up (so did ACBG) for the Blizzard bday club. That was my present from DQ. So we had DQ Brazier Burger[sup]TM[/sup] specials and Blizzards[sup]TM[/sup] for supper. 'Twas gooooood!!! Now Iā€™m sippinā€™ on a beer and considering a dip in the pool. It has not rained anywhere near the swampcave (yet) but has rained all over Albeeeny. I want rain at the swampcave dangit! ---

Heeeā€¦youā€™re good at reading stuff **Sean**. Thatā€™s the kinda cover letter Iā€™d love to write someday, **rosie**. Iā€™ve been helping one of my many godchildren with job-hunting. Sheā€™s fresh out of college with not a lot of experience and boy, is that hard. Made an escape to the library and the grocery before the rain moves in. Itā€™s been looking like rain for a while, but hasnā€™t done much more than drip. So now Iā€™m just hanginā€™ out considering dinner and watching a movie. Exciting way to spend an evening, I know.

Well, Iā€™m back from my errands. It took me slightly longer than I anticipated. Who knew buying underwear for your 13 year old son would be so farkinā€™ difficult? I had a hell of a time finding his size; although after much digging and rooting, I found some. At any rate, all I need to do now is buy food for the housesitter and buy food (sannich makings, etc) and drinks for us to pack in our cooler. Iā€™ll also buy some fruit. That way, we donā€™t have to stop to eat, and itā€™ll save us a few bucks. We plan on eating one meal a day out (dinner). Yes, I AM cheap. I figure Iā€™ll have a damn heart attack when itā€™s time to fuel up the rig in California, anyway. So, thatā€™ll save the hubby a few bucks on the food budget. šŸ˜‰ I am hoping that hubby comes home in a much better mood today. He was supposedly called in for crossing four lines of traffic without a blinker. \*\*Uh, I donā€™t think so. \*\* You donā€™t receive a million miles safe driving award by pulling stupid shit like that. AT any rate, he was forced to watch a bunch of safety movies yesterday. His boss refused to give him the benefit of the doubt. One of the other drivers was called in on six times. It turned out, it was another driver playing games and trying to get this driver in trouble. Even though they knew it was this other driver and what was up, they still made this guy do all this safety crap. Company bureaucracy at itā€™s worst! I just got off the phone with hubby and heā€™s still pissed. I guess his boss asked him to hang around for a minute so they could talk. This was after the hubby asked for the national safety managerā€™s phone number and e-mail address because he plans to follow up on this issue. God, I hope he doesnā€™t lose his temper. Iā€™m thinkinā€™ his mood wonā€™t be any better when he comes home now. Sighā€¦ ---

After much thought, I have decided I either want to be the Green Serpent from _The Silver Chair_, or a luckdragon for Halloweā€™een. I think thatā€™s overambitious enough. I think Iā€™ll do the luckdragon, too. They have ruby red eyeballs and pearly iridescent scales. And manes. Thatā€™s cool. **Taters** , just think, in only eight more years (or so) youā€™ll no longer have to buy underwear for your son! Isnā€™t that nice? ---
