Well, I’m at it again… sigh…


If I could clone myself TWICE, I ‘might’ break even…

At least I DO have some professionals on this one, they’ve actually READ the documents- Gee, what a novel concept!

Enough with the @#&* rain already, EVERY time I went outside today it rained; even worse, not a single time did I have a short walk…

Right now my wallet and contents, notebook and clothes are hanging/lying all over place trying to get them semi-dry. Now my cell phone is hissing at me, which is ‘probably’ NOT a good thing …

And no, I’m not changing my callsign to Rainman or Joe Blitzfk…

Oh yeah, it’s Clue Bat time-

I don’t care if you’re a hundred pound brain, you NEVER buy non-refundable airline tickets and you sure as hell don’t buy non-refundable PREPAID hotel nights…

If you ever work for the Government, you KNOW the schedule IS going to change. I’m NOT responsible for your screw up, and no, I’m NOT going to push to get the original schedule back. Shut up and use this as a learning experience (and quitcher bitching)!!!

If you are going to put out a document, at least roofpread it… it’s not MY fault you left something in there that shouldn’t be; and yes, you WILL have to put out a correction, I’m not doing it for you! sigh…

And before you ask, NO you can’t go to the hotel and ‘freshen up’ before the meeting because you’re tired from flying. If you have an issue with it, you should have flown in the day before. It’s not like you didn’t know this was coming…

In other news, or lack thereof, three days with no newspapers, very little TV and not hearing anything about the crap going on in DC is actually pretty nice. The down side, I’m worried about what is going on that I’m NOT seeing/hearing.

I have a pounding in my ears, oh never mind, it’s the drums… DAYUM… I didn’t know a grass skirt could move like that!!! She must have a wind up spring in there somewhere!!! That makes me tired just watching… 🙂

And the rest of the movements aren’t bad either!

Well, back to the salt mines. Break is over, and tomorrow is another work day.

Sigh…

  1. Take heart sir, that the incompetent can be marginalized and grass skirts do really move like that. Oh for a callsign how about soggy downs? 🙂

  2. Cat herder? My job title for many years. I always tried to pass on the six P’s I learned in the military; Prior Planning Prevents P#%$ Poor Performance. A few would “Get It”. Accepting you can’t fix stupid helped my blood pressure.

  3. Or, for relaxation, join Mongo and I writing Haikus. Never tried before but it’s fun.

  4. Tired from watching? Oh never mind, I’m leaving that one alone. It’s the thought that counts anyway, right?

    W/V- presopt 😀

  5. Sounds like work is not getting any better. The grass skirt might be a bright spot. The rain sucks, we havent had alot of rain lately here in Ky but I heard the Northeast is getting hit pretty bad.

    Travel safe.

  6. I am trying to generate some sympathy…

    Nope, can’t do it.

    Grass skirts and ocean breezes make up for a lot of other “stuff”

    Pax,

  7. Top- I wish I could… 🙂 And no call signs are normally one word.

    WSF- I agree, and yeah PPPPPP also piss poor planning does NOT constitute an emergency on my part…

    Crucis- I don’t think I have enough ‘polite’ four letter words for Haiku 🙂

    Alan- Agreed!!!!

    Snigs- Thank you 🙂

    CPD- I’m trying!

    CS- I know, but they’re so damn smart it just boggles the mind!

    New- “Thanks”… I think… 🙂

  8. I’ld second the drink option and advise postponing any trips in this direction for a couple of months if you’re sick of rain.

    I know I shouldn’t complain but I’m getting sick of it myself … it’s supposed to be SPRING that means NICE weather – not raining / not boiling … NICE WEATHER … wish it would happen …

    vw: tablepro … something else along with “grass skirts” that i’m not going to think about …

  9. Julie- Due to broke toys on our end, I’m not going to make it down there in Nov. Probably will be after Jan 1 before I get there. And yes, rain day after day is a pain…

  10. Jim just seen your response … well the rain should be well and truely over by then and we’ll be complaining of the HOT days … good for beers & range visits though ….
