Firday the 13th don’t scare me. I have a black cat (Ursala aka Sula) and she’s crossed my path MANY times this morning. MWAHAHAHAHA. ---

Still no boss sighting. Bored bored bored bored bored. I was up front chatting with the receptionist when the Verizon guy was leaving - he can’t figure out what’s wrong with our network. According to the boss, it’s something between our facility that houses the servers and the rest of the facilities (the company has 4 or 5.) Regardless, no phone, no email, no printing… And until the boss comes back, no work for me. ---

Irking or trying to. The network is in and out. If it hadn’t been payroll day I would have taken the day off. I am tired from my foray into Miami and the horsepistol. There is a Mockingbird here at my irk that has a nest in a bush out on the back patio. If anyone walks near she swoops down and dive bombs. She got me in the shoulder. TGIF I hope everyone has a Great weekend. ---

In Comic News, Spiderman is sitting on the sidelines while a Real Superhero and Bad Guy [duke it out.](http://comicskingdom.com/amazing-spider-man/2016-05-09) As a matter of fact, Spidey hasn’t been in his own comic since May 9th. ---

It only took 3 hours for me to get something to do. So I’ll be busy for the rest of the day. That’s good. So don’t interrupt me!!! 😛 ---

Dear MuMPers, This post is late, because I have had a truly ridiculous week. There are toilets and cancer and bell peppers involved. I do not believe in Friday the 13th as an unlucky day. My parent’s first date was Friday Now 13, 1964, and they were married less than a year later. I do kind of believe in “full moon” stuff, at least with behaviors of the psychotic elderly, but I recognize that “noticing error” and c"orrelation does not imply causation" play their parts. However, I do believe my [SNAFU SPRING](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=792736) and today is just another shitty day in a terrible month in an insane season. Sunday was the day I found out about my MIL’s cancer diagnosis, and I spent Monday with her at a clinic… Not exactly shitty, but definitely no fun. Today the shit is literal because my toilet overflowed, so I had shoe, glue, and poo, plus a cable guy at the door. He could not stop staring at my face which is bruised and I look like I was on the receiving end of a sucker punch. The bell peppers? I bought a bunch of small green bell peppers, (all tennis ball sized or smaller) a bag the size of a normal pillow case for 4.00) . I have been coring, seeding, chopping etc all week. I also have two large sized bags of semi soft apples (applesauce on the way) a case of mangoes, and already made a giant pot of spaghetti sauce. I plan on eating a lot of Greek salad and also making pickles… I overbought on mini cukes as well. So, who wants veggies? ---

Howdy Y’all! I have decided that shortly I shall head on up to Ye Olde Home Towne. If’n I get outta here by two p.m. any traffic madness will be averted. As good a reason as any, I reckon. So y’all may not hear from me before Sunday. Be nice! Use coasters to set your drinks on not to throw at each other like last time. Laterz! ---

I took a nap and there is less blurfage. Weird dreams though. I was at a party and couldn’t find anything to eat. I’d see food but when I got to it, it was gone. Then I was looking for something to drink, and the drinks were gone. I set my glass down and it was gone. Then when I found it, my cousin knocked it over and made a mess on the floor. So I went to get some paper towels, I found them and when I got to them they were gone. Then I saw a different cousin wiping up the mess, and when I tried to help him I tripped over him. I wanted to leave, and every time I headed for the door it would move to a different spot. I couldn’t find Sah-son, but every time I turned around the HFH was there. The only good thing was my mother said that she knew I’d never get around to coming to see her so she may as well give me my birthday check now. She pulled out her checkbook and wrote me a check for $2000. Not that it does a lot of good when you can’t find the damn door. So I woke up hungry, thirsty, and frustrated. The sun is coming out. We’ll see for how long. Time to make some lunch, and then get to work. ---

In the strange but true file: There is a gym in the building that houses my office and others and because the gym is unmanned I get the pleasure of making sure there is no foolishness going on in there. Today I heard this bird screeching and went to investigate. There is a patron in the gym with a bird in a small cage. I questioned my staff and apparently he comes in often with the bird. :rolleyes: ---

One of the busier roads around here (next to the river) has an annual orange construction sign: “Caution: Aggressive Red Winged Blackbird Ahead” Every year I say I’m gonna pop a cap in its ass. The only bird Bob the Wonder Pony feared was the RWB. Just their caw made him spin and run for home. ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > I’m wearing my stoopit jeans today - the ones where the front pockets are so shallow, they won’t even accommodate the length of my fingers, and my fingers are kinda on the stubby side. I don’t feel secure in putting a folded dollar bill in a front pocket. Stoopit jeans. I may find some fabric and make pocket extensions. I haz these jeans!!! Are yours from Lands End or is the stoopid spreading? My mom did make pocket extensions for hers. I haven’t gotten around to it yet. > [@Spiderman](#): > > Just walked into the bathroom at irk; the bodily noises coming out of the first stall was [spoiler]Snoring! :eek: > > I could see nodding off, but a deep enough sleep to be snoring?

I hate that. Who needs to take a call while on the can? Happy Friday the 13th! My mom was born on a Friday the 13th, so in my family we consider these good luck days.
