I didn’t actually ever mention it, unless you count daily organizational tags “mentioning.”
Which (of course) I totally don’t, and I wouldn’t have even used them, but my brain is a mess rocky, barren place organized chaos of maps and folders and sub-folders labeled for your convenience, you’re welcome my sanity, most likely. Thus, not (overly) [...]

Last week someone sneaky and clearly in need of a hug from their mom decided to break into our neighbor’s car, while it sat in our car-covered carport built for four. I walked out to my car early Wednesday morning and saw a city police patrol vehicle parked ominously in front of our apartment complex.
Immediately [...]

“You’re laughing, but that’s what his name is.”
“Dink?”
“Yes, Dink McCoy.”
“What? That can’t possible be his…”
“His name, I know, but, yes, it IS. He goes by Dennis but his real name is Dink.”
“How did we not ever know this? And his brother’s name was what, did you say?”
“Colon.”
“Colon. Right. Like Colin, but…”
“No, like Colonoscopy, Colon.”
“So, their [...]

At my office we are currently (feverishly) attempting to hire a part-timer who could transition into full-time, and it’s been a painful lesson in hilarity and frustration to play both recruiter and honorary co-interviewer for the position.
I don’t mean to suggest I don’t feel honored and excited about the opportunity to be waist-deep in the [...]

My boss just returned from a two-week stint of jury duty. I joked I’d never been summoned.
* Cue Alanis *
Someone In Charge has a really quirky sense of humor. Either that, or they’ve taken to jury pooling on a referral-base only.
On the upside, I have until the end of July to come up with a [...]

* Waves hand as if to signal she is, indeed, not dead, but alive and, mostly, well *
While frantically waving the dialogue in her head goes something like:
“Hi! I’m over here! Right! here. No, a little to the left. A little bit more. Yes! Right there! There, I am!”
Before she (finally!) sits down to write [...]

In only a few short quickly-passing, time-devouring* weeks, while waiting for various persons to pick up on their ends of the line, I’ve been treated to Traditional Classical, Something That Sounds Remarkably Like Polka, and the rare and delightful office boasting bad 90’s soft rock. Re-entering Le Office Space, I was almost instantly reminded of [...]

From The Dilbert Blog
“I opened my web browser today and noticed a story about a man in Oregon who was snorkeling in a river and got shot in the head because some other guy thought he was a rodent.
There is nothing funny about being shot in the head. Unless you were snorkeling in a [...]

Remember when I told you I was mostly unemployed? And trying harder than one would think to avoid that cozy, yet a bit too cramped for my style, van, down by the river? But, no, not that van. Because who, I mean really, avoids that van?
Remember?

It was over a week ago, and if you too [...]
