Random Thougts - Beward of Little Girls in Sundresses...

My boss is still crazy – no doubt about it.  He’s a make work kind of person and instead of just answering a question, he in return asks about three more.  By carrying on with this circular questioning, he’s postponing actually having to focus on making a decision.  I’m wise to his “stall tactics” and now, I’m managing to think 3 steps ahead and have the answers before he asks them.  This drives him slightly more crazy than usual.   If I can manage to push one person over the edge in a day, I’ve fulfilled my life’s goal.   I LOVE my job…
 
Speaking of jobs – I had my 6 month review on Friday.  It went as I suspected and I am now slightly richer with the modest raise that came along with passing my probationary period.   I don’t consider this a big deal because according to the HR Manager – “Nobody gets fired from here, unless of course you feel the need to jump off the building naked.”  Hmmm… that left me wondering if she was actually speaking from experience. 

It's a good thing I'm getting my eyes checked next week.  J, The Boy and I were out for a drive on the weekend and we were heading to our favorite beach.  I saw what I thought was a little girl in a sundress playing along side the road with her dad, where is was busy working on something.  I warn J to watch out for the little girl and there is a moment of silence...turns out the little girl was an orange traffic cone.  Yeah, I'm not going to live that one down for a long time.
 
Does anyone watch House Hunters International or is it just a Canadian show?  I love the premise of people looking for real estate in far off places.   One day – I hope to do the same…
 
With all the good season finales wrapping up – I’m feeling at a loss.  Soon to come is the second string line-up, which includes Wipe Out, Big Brother, America’s Got Talent and whatever other crappy programming TLC decides to throw at me (i.e. Toddlers in Tiaras).  Maybe it’s a sign I need to get off the couch and do something productive with my spare time.
 
The Boy informs me that his buddy is trying to grow a Monkeytail Beard.  WTH is that you ask?  See below for your answer.  I intend to make fun of his buddy on as many occasions as possible.  Seriously is it not the most ridiculous thing you have seen so far this week?

And as soon as I don't have to go to a job everyday, I'm growing that right there.

Naked jumping? Definitely a spectator sport. And as for the whiskers......

There's nothing like making your boss slightly crazier. :)

Congrats on the raise. More money is always good.

I've seen that monkey tail beard before, it's apparently the new 'thing' but I think it's ridiculous.

omg - your post has me literally cracking up - for more than one reason! The beard thing is just ridiculous! But funny too. Also, the tv thing is true for me too. I feel lost when my fav shows are over and I grieve a little too - makes me sound pathetic but I really get into some shows! Also, the traffic cone thing is pretty funny too but I don't blame you on that one. Even with my contacts I still can't see certain things, especially far away. Entertaining as usual my friend! :)

Happy Wednesday!

I Was Feeling Pretty Good Until...

I had my annual “physical” yesterday.   I’ve been attending the same clinic for well over 20 years and am overall happy with the service I receive.  The clinic is part of a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so with that I typically have relatively quick access to a network of specialists should the need arise.  With that being said, I’m usually treated by residents and have rarely had the same resident in all my 20 years. I felt pretty good going into the appointment and then not so much by the time I left.   Why do you ask? Well, first of all I was treated by Miss Doogie Howser.   I swear she wasn’t even legal drinking age.  That in itself made me feel old, because when I first started going to that clinic – I WAS her age. As she was running down the standard list of questions (i.e. do you smoke, how much do you drink, is there any history of heart problems in your family), she asked me “How is your sex life?  Any concerns?

Snot Bubbles and Wedgies...

Scuba diving can be the most relaxing, peaceful experience of your life – no cell phones, no boss and no noise, except for your own bubbles; however it can be a sport that is not for the faint of heart – rough waters, sharks and crushing depths. If you are self-conscious, shy or weak of stomach, scuba diving may not be for you. Let me explain… Warning: The following may be overly descriptive. Read on at your own risk… The scuba wetsuit. There is nothing glamorous about squeezing a size 8, 10, 12 body into a size 8 neoprene wetsuit, while sweating under the Caribbean sun. It’s sort of like trying to put a sock on while your foot is still wet. Scuba diving professionals may tell you, that neoprene doesn’t shrink, but those people are liars. What they are really trying to do is make you feel good about yourself – selfish bastards. I am living proof that my wetsuit has shrunk on numerous occasions – usually over the winter months. Coincidence? I think not. The wedgie. This un
