(Not mine. Gene’s). He’s on a call right now (yes, 10 PM on a Sunday) and just asked if the computer that is down is doing anything at 10 PM on a Sunday. The person told him, “Well, it’s processing payroll.” And then Gene did something that will NEVER happen where I work. He made the…

Mmm, meatloaf…
Actually, mmm, meatloaf. Finally, I have a meatloaf recipe that doesn’t come out the consistency of pate’ (stupid Ann Landers meatloaf). It’s the first time I’ve cooked in a week or two.

Darkness fills my heart w/ pain
So, have I ever told you that I never hated my mom? Not even when I was 13 and knew way, way, WAAAAY more than she did? I really never went through this. I wouldn’t call her my best friend, but she ranks pretty high up there on the list. I was never embarassed to…

#1) Take 12 year old to see Borat. #2) Do not forget #1 The boy enjoyed most of it but I think the two man nude wrestling match maybe was a bit much for him. I had to go because of a secret shop thing and the boys wanted to go. I think he was excited to…
Printers
Last payroll I had to print the paychecks four times to get it right. The printer kept screwing up. Yesterday I cut paychecks for Monday. More printer problems, so I printed on the accounting printer. I came home today and wanted to print directions to Blanche’s. Printer problems.
ugh, Christmas…
So I just finished checking out the Tolerability Index on the Onion and their banner ad is for “Last Minute Cop Out Gifts”. Umm, WHAT?? Since when is November 1 “LAST MINUTE”??
