Every week I become that much more of a hermit. Now with the summer heat upon us, if it wasn't for work, I probobly wouldn't leave the house, at least not during daylight hours. I'm seriously considering migrating north.

The payment date for my car insurance coincided nicely with the time of my jury duty so that for several weeks I had approximitly $2 left in my checking account. Fortunatly I know how to live on a very slim budget. The past week has been so crazy work-wise that I now have a significant safety buffer in my checking account plus I've been able to ( Read more... )

How is it that I have six computers but not one rolling pin? I CAN'T MAKE PIE WITH COMPUTERS DAMMIT!

I've noticed that there is an inverse relationship between the importance of what someone is trying to communicate and their ability to communicate it. Generally the less you need to know about something, the more someone will tell you about it. If you really need to know something very important, you'll be lucky to get even some garbled half- ( Read more... )

I just finished serving jury on a trial and this provided even more evidence that my life is one big cliche'. I'll try to list the cliche's from the start of the trial onward but I doubt I'll get the order right.

My reflexes kicked in and before I even realise that the window has actually exploded I'm out the door and into the other room getting myself armed for immediate defense and ( Read more... )

Don't you hate it when you've been storing a box for years and it turns out to be full of nothing but balled up newspaper?

I have a rather dubious history with impressionistic sculptures. When it comes to things of roughly human size and shape I tend to be particularly twitchy, a bit paranoid you might say. This seems to be a problem that comes about whenever I decide to visit an art gallery because many of them, inevitably, possess sculptures like this. Sometimes its ( Read more... )

Did you know that toothpaste and apple juice combined tastes like parmasean cheese?

Any illusions I may have had that there in a relationship between job pay and one's level of education have been swept away. During one of my more random conversations with my supervisor we got onto the topic of animals. At one point he actually asked (in all seriosness too) "But a cats not a mammal is it?" WHAT THE FUCKING HELL! How the hell does ( Read more... )
