Just some random news:

• I spoke with my friend Melanie last night.� She says she has lots of photos of the cactus incident that I’ve never seen.� She says she’ll make copies.� If she does I’ll post them here.� I also found a few more things from the story that I need to post - an email and a newspaper clipping.
• Here’s my new catchphrase: “Well, monkeys are pretty forgiving.”
• I’ve reunited with a long lost friend, S-h.� I’d forgotten how much fun she is.� Her new catch phrase is “Foods Papa.”

That’s it.

“It’s like accidentally shooting yourself in the foot; you just want to avoid doing it.� It’s like accidentally falling off a cliff.� It’s bad, real bad.� You don’t want to do it.” - S the Trainer.

I’ve changed jobs at work and this has required me to go back into training.� I’m still a team supervisor just for a diffrent client.� Training is always boring, always frustrating.� This time is no exception.

Here are some highlights:

• A was wearing a Bob Marley t-shirt today.� Someone saw her shirt and started talking about Mr. Marley.� A asked who Bob Marley was, not even realizing that she was wearing a t-shirt with him on it.
• Class started at 2:00.� C asked for a smoke break at 2:07.

I’m sure there will be more stupidity to come.

We had some fun at work this week.

JD is sort of obsessive. That’s an understatement actually. Here are a few examples:

My first run in was when I ran into him in the bathroom. He was washing his hands when I walked in, washing his hands as I did my business (number one if you must know) and washing his hands as I washed my hands and left.

He quit using the microwaves in the breakroom at work, fearing bacteria. Now he doesn’t use them at all fearing what it does to his food.

A few weeks ago someone who he sees as ‘unclean’ touched his back. He changed his shirt. He used to hide his chair when he wasn’t at his desk so no one could sit in it.

One day this week, I took a few klenex, wadded it up and left them on his desk before he came in.

The second one actually hasn’t taken place yet. D and I are going to get B a subscription to Out magazine. (D tells me that Out comes in an unmarked cover. That’s strange for a magazine called Out.)

Here are some subjects I would have posted on if I’d been posting:

• North Korea set off a nuke…sort of. What no one is talking about is that their test failed.� I sort of feel like we should take an approach similar to that of Trey Parker and Matt Stone in Team America: World Police. Just mock them.
• My friend A told me this joke he made up: Did you hear that Congress is trying to ban bookmarks?� They prefer�bending over the pages.
• My nephew has suggested my sister paint her Pacifica like the Studebaker in the Muppet Movie.
• Yesterday was bosses day and I teased my team about how they didn’t love me.� Today I came into a cereal Fun Pack, a Chug of 2% milk and disposable bowls and spoons.� Thanks M and J!

I’m going to try and start taking a few minutes each day to post a bit, but I can’t make any promises.� I am at work after all.

I’m also going to be turning off comments until regular postings resume.� I’m getting loads of comment spam.

Later.

Who doesn’t think it’s great that Coors Beer’s stock symbol is TAP?

C posted the following on a MySpace bulletin:

What is the oddest thing that has happened to you in the shower?? “That’s a long story.”

Two observations:? If anything odd happens to me in the shower, it’d better be a long freaking story and that’s a story I want to hear.

I back to work to get my medicine this evening.? I stopped by my boss’ office to say hello and she told me she was buying some software:

“I’m going to buy some grammar tutoring software for our less grammarfied agents.”

One of the blogs I frequent has a very funny post today.

I was listening to Matt Drudge tonight because I didn’t think to change the station. It was well worth it though. He came out with this little gem:

“Hillary Swank to play John Mark Karr in the TV movie.”
