Oh, my god…my heart is so full. I am so happy I could dance and sing. In fact, I think I will! (Currently Playing: England 2 Columbia 0 by the late, great Kirsty MacColl<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Apropos to nothing, while I was surfing Kirstymaccoll.com, I came across a site selling pictures of Kirsty, including one of Kirsty with Morissey, ex of the Smiths. Merry Xmas to me? Ooh, and another one of Kirsty with Billy Bragg. I hate having too many choices!<\/p>\n

And since we’re feeling maudlin now, here’s today’s “People are Assholes” story, courtesy of CNN.com. See? I told you people were assholes<\/a> I’m really glad that we can’t afford a baby but some damned fools just can’t help themselves from doing stupid, stupid things.<\/p>\n

Speaking of stupid, stupid things, I made a joke at lunch yesterday that probably didn’t set well. (The good news is that I don’t really care). One of my coworkers is on his second marriage and has a daughter from his first marriage. I said to my former boss that “that would be interesting math” — to compare the date of birth of his daughter with his wife. Well, per my old boss, this guy’s new wife is no spring chicken. Ah, open mouth insert foot. At least I didn’t say it loudly.<\/p>\n

And today — I’m posting this because I will want to remember it for awhile — I found some information for our CFO and then asked if there was anything else I can do. His suggestions included buying an airplane (so the effing wanker can get to his Villa…uhuh) or washing his car (umm, it’s raining…). I said “Anything to do with payroll?” and he said “What about the line of your job description that says ‘and anything else asked’?” And Elaine…being a smartass…replies “Oh, THAT’S why I’m still doing benefits!”<\/p>\n

So maybe I’ll be on the breadline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
