    Why does our company insist on doing software updates by randomly calling you on the phone and saying "we're going to install xyz over the phone RIGHT NOW"... uhh ok... #1 I'm busy RIGHT NOW... #2 how is this efficient management of resources to install new software???

    Apparently rescheduling said "software update" for between 2:30pm-3:00pm Eastern was too difficult for Idiot IT Dept. 3:20pm and no call. I'm going to resume work and of course then they'll call, right when I'm in the middle of payouts or something of that sort. :angry:

    I think if our pets could talk, they would be whole lot less cute and a whole lot more annoying.

    I think if our pets could talk, one of mine certainly would have a mouthful to say about my dad.

    I am wondering why in the world the United States did not adopt the tradition of afternoon siestas.

    Canada, too. Also, only giving people 2 weeks holiday per year is ridiculous! I was in the UK for 2 years and had 26 vacation days already!

    If I was a bird, i would want to be an osprey or frigate bird or one of those birds that is really good at gliding on wind currents, not one of those birds that has to flap its wings every second like a chump. Except a hummingbird maybe, because hovering is cool.

    Speaking of annoying "walkers".... I absolutely cannot stand it when people drag their feet when they walk and it makes that annoying scuffing noise. It's typically when wearing those Birkenstock type shoes. ( I love birk's though..but I'm just saying)

    I just want to say...PICK UP YOUR FEET!! I mean really, stop scuffing my floors and wearing down your soles!

    On a different note, why is it that my kid always poops or pukes, or needs a bottle right when I need to do something important or be on time somewhere? It's like he knows and does it to spite me!! haha.. Well he is only 8 months old!

    Another thing...

    How can pancakes in a spray can be "organic"?? Has anyone seen this stuff called "Batter Blaster"?? It's in a can like E-Z squeeze cheese.

    When I was a kid my dad had this funny little saying, a non-sensical riddle:

    "If a half a hen lays a half an egg in a half a day - how long would it take a monkey with a wooden leg to kick the seeds out of a dill pickle?"

    That crosses my mind just about daily. I'm 42 years old. My dad's been gone 10 years. Legacies are strange and complicated things...

    I would not want to be a bird. I am afraid of them and I am pretty sure they will be the ones taking over the world when it finally ends. Stupid birds with their abilities to fly over our heads and mark their targets. One big swoop and a peck, and your brain is gone.

    That crosses my mind just about daily. I'm 42 years old. My dad's been gone 10 years. Legacies are strange and complicated things...

    First, the part about the 1.5 chickens laying 1.5 eggs in 1.5 days: The rate at which any single chicken or groups of chickens can lay eggs has no bearing whatsoever on the kicking ability of peg-legged monkeys. They are not even of the same species of animals. This part of the question exists entirely as a ruse to distract the audience. Unless you're trying to determine the total area of the field the blue tractor supposedly plowed, you may ignore this chicken data.

    The specific answer we seek is the total duration of time it would take a monkey with a wooden leg to kick the seeds from the dill pickle. The difficulty in resolving this problem lies within the fact that various pickles, dill or not, contain a varying amount of seeds. Furthermore, the size, strength and ability of a single-legged monkey can vary greatly. Therefore, without more specific parameters the question is impossible to answer.

    My father passed about 5 years ago. Previous to that he had to go into the hospital for openheart surgery. Two days after the surgery, I got a letter from him. He didn't think he was going to make it. All my siblings got one as well. I was cleaning out a drawer the other day and found it. I hope I can be half the Dad to my girls as he was to us.

    I had a job interview the other day, and I think I might be offered the job. I have mixed emotions about it, because I'm afraid if I start this job, I won't be able to work out as much.

    Hmmm. Time or money. Always a compromise...

    Go for it you can always make room to work out. Weight lose might slow down but it won't go away completely.

    I really regret never learning how to do a cartwheel. Maybe it's not too late, but maybe it is. I'd like to not have to think about it.

    I think that should be your goal this week and you should let us know how you did! :)

    Is the grass really greener??


    Oh.....and why is it that someone asks, "What do you think WE should do?" And then they already had made up their minds before asking you what they were going to do in the first place. I find that so annoying.

    I am tired of crap, in a most literal sense. All 3 of my children at some point as babies went through a stage where I just knew they had an anatomical congenital deformity in which their hiney holes were located in their lower backs as opposed between their little cheekies where it belongs. My 7 month old is going through it now. It drives me crazy!!!!! It leaks out the top of the diaper!!! WHY????? WHY?????WHY?????? Going anywhere is a nightmare and I can't dress him cute because he ruins everything. And my daughter, who turns 3 next month, refuses to tell me she needs to poop in the potty and she won't even go all at once in her pull up. No!!! It is a little skidmark here, a rabbit pellet there and 50 dang pullups/ thrown away undies later we get the motherload!!!!!It is always when we are in a restraunt or store, usually preceded by my 7 month olds explosive poop mess and then my 5 year old likes to interrupt dinner with his pooping habit and I swear we have see the inside of every bathroom everywhere.....he has to have his shirt off to go poop!!!! And to top it all off My HUSBAND is lactose intolerant and we are all stuck in a hotel on the 5th floor right now where you cannot even open a window!!!!! Here a poot, there a poot , everywhere a poot poot!!!! And don't even get me started on the cat and dog. I have been stuck in this room since the middle of May while waiting to close on our house and am starting to feel a little crazy!!!! I feel like pooh and fart is permanently burned into my psyche!!!!!! I am starting a no pooping farting rule. I've decided.

    There is a middle eastern woman who works in my office. Every day she wears the traditional clothing for a woman from that area of the world. I walked passed her today and noticed that she had on open-toe shoes. How come she can't show her hair, but she can show her toes?

    I had a student in a motorcycle class last week that failed her exam.

    She just would not use her front brake properly and couldn't get her bike stopped in a reasonable distance. I stressed that she needed to do it. I explained to her how to do it. I demonstrated how to do it. I had her watch others do it. Each time I asked "Ok, do you know what to do?" she would say "Yes", but then she would do the exact same thing she'd done before. After a few hours I finally had to move class along, the other students were ready to kill us both.

    Come test time we did the braking test. Everyone else in the class stopped in 12 or 15 feet. She stopped in 30 feet. She failed. When I gently told her that she had not passed the class she got mad at me. :mad: :angry: :explode: :grumble:
