Quotation of the week:

"You've left the TMI thoroughfare and entered the 'Why the fuck do you have free speech?' turnpike."
— g4lt-U60

Whenever I get overwhelmingly busy, frustrated, or bogged down, I simply remind myself that at least I no longer work for the ever-so-professional gentleman whose main goal in business seemed to be ensuring that I was in the loop, at all times; not with company policy (about which he couldn't have cared less if I was informed), but as to the current state of his colon health, his underwear, and .:ahem:. a review of his outputs, including their relation to daily inputs. So in case you think I'm not grateful enough for the miracles in my life, hey — I takes 'em as I gets 'em.

(Incidentally, joys like this are why you want to make sure you finish your education. Disgusting as he was, it was better than thankless work and no respect at minimum wage.)

I used to say "Never say never," but then I realized that sometimes no other word will do. As in my automatic reply to questions such as, "Would you like to try our creamed possum-eyeball with moose-poop salsa?"

Stolen from, but giving appropriate credit to, Art:

Things I Will NEVER Own

1. Size two jeans
2. One of those teensy dogs that aren't so much pets as they are accessories to match one's purse
3. A Mac
4. A sex shop
5. A HumVee

Things I Will NEVER Become

1. A ballet dancer
2. President
3. Rich
4. A rock star
5. A basketball player

And, my own addition to the mix:

Things I Have Done, but Aspire NEVER to Do Again

1. Drinking an entire fifth of gin by myself
2. Smoking
3. Allowing myself to be bullied
4. Believing That Man of Mine when he says he already put [fill in crucial item] in the car
5. Eating more than a pound of grapes in one sitting

No one is tagged and, as usual, you're welcome to do it if you want to or ignore it if you don't.

It's that time of year again ...

If you donate to That Man's Paypal, he'll know who you are and tell me to put you on this year's shirt, but if you donate directly to the United Way or mail your donation directly to the clinic, I have no way of knowing what a nice thing you did unless you tell me. So note me or comment me and I'll add your name to the Shirt of Much Tackiness.
