So, I usually use my little square of the internet to bitch about work or something, but today I feel really good. Gene’s safe and home from his recent trip and he’ll be home for Valentine’s Day. The dogs are doing well. The living room is practically empty but that’s okay (seriously, if it’s just…

and a final note…
Someone got to my little plot of Internet by googling “employer did not send out w2 by 1/31”. We were under no legal obligation to send out your W2 until yesterday, February 2. (Happy Groundhog Day, by the way). Most employers want them the hell out of their way long before the deadline (including me…
In funnier news…
the dogs, especially Betty, hate it when I sing. I was watching YouTube videos last night and singing along to U2’s song “Stay” when I noticed that Betty wouldn’t stop groaning (“MOM, STOP IT!”…freaking dog). Okay okay, I can’t hit the notes Bono can but seriously who does Betty think she is?

Ten Year Old Divorcee What a terrible thing, marrying off your 10 year old daughter. What a terrible thing, marrying a 10 year old little girl. What a wonderful thing the judge did by granting the little girl a divorce, a way out of the horror that was her “marriage.” Seriously, read the story at…
Beagles in the News…
Puppy Bowl MVP Holy cow… between this and the beagle being named Best in Show at Westminster last year, I expect that Betty and Scooby are going to pop up with some J-Lo style demands. Scooby will demand I debone his beef ribs and Betty will make me kill mice for her.
Now that’s what I call a tip!
My Worst Freaking Nightmare! So, I guess if it could happen to Nobu, the famous sushi restaurant partly owned by Robert DeNiro, it could happen to anyone. I would LOVE to talk to the payroll clerk there – were they paying server OT at 1.5 times server minimum ($2.13 times 1.5 = $3.20) instead of…
The Plan…
So, Gene is still in NJ (through Wednesday, so he can have face time with the Boss’s Boss), which I am bummed about but I also feel that timing is impeccable: The W-2s are at the office and I have to have them…oh, let’s say the hell out of my office… by Monday night. No…
Politics as Usual…
Did I tell you all that I was going to go be co-Governor of Illinois? Stefania, my coworker and former boss, and I were going to go run Illinois after Governor Blagoveich was ousted. Our theory was that we couldn’t do worse than him, right? We had big plans! We were going to work one…
More music…
So, around Thanksgiving, the Muzak channel changed from “Cool Songs that Elaine doesn’t Automatically Hate” to “Hits of the 50s and Eeeeearly 60s” and stayed that way until a week or two ago. Actually, I liked the old music channel because I hadn’t heard two of my favorite old songs “Let’s Hang On” by Frankie…
the chair affair…
(hee hee, that rhymed) Ugh, chair is at FedEx. Finally. When my only time out of the office during daylight is my lunch hour, sometimes I have to do things I wouldn’t normally do, such as struggle with a screwdriver in a light Cheesecake City rainstorm. Additionally, I wanted the damned office chair out of…
