Guess what I'm eating..

SMOKY BACON PEANUTS.
It's how I'm avoiding smoking, and it's working thus far :)
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 86: Noobs, Halloween, and Pumpkins, oh my!

Let's recap the reasons why today is not my day.

- Gas light turned on in my car on the way home from work last night (after I'd passed the gas station). Left early this morning so I could put gas in my car on the way to work. Get to the gas station 5 miles up the road - their pumps aren't working. Fantastic. Get back in my car and it almost doesn't start because at this point I'm pretty sure it's running on fumes. Drive to the gas station a couple miles up the road (and completely out of my way), fill up my tank, pay, and leave. By this time it's 8:45, I have to work at 9:00, and I have a 20+ minute drive ahead of me. You see where this is going.
- Get to work only 5 minutes late, by the grace of the Walmart gods.
- About an hour into work my receipt printer stops working completely. It takes somewhere around 15 minutes to reboot my register.
- Got my 11:00 break at 11:30.
- After work, on my way home... I'm less than a mile away from my house and I passed a cop going the opposite direction. Check the speedometer - yep, I'm speeding. Check the rearview - yep, he's pulling a U-turn. GREAT. I was only going about 43 in a 35 so it wasn't terrible and I didn't get a ticket. What I want to know is, where were all the cops when I was going 75 in a 55 this morning trying to get to work on time? :p

I have an enhanced drivers' license, which allows me re-entry to the United States from Canada (or Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the Bahamas, I think). When I gave the cop my license, he had no idea what it was. o.O Shouldn't police officers, even of small postage stamp-sized towns like mine, know what the valid forms of identification are? I would think so, especially since we're a stone's throw away from Canada...

I'm done with the excitement now. Hopefully the rest of today is just normal.

bando - sounds like a fun day. :rolleyes:

my day is similar...crappy for a Friday. The boss' boss loves to take mole hills and make them mountains, so i've got that going for me.

The boyfriend decided last night he won't be able to go to football tomorrow (despite my having looked forward to taking him to the tailgate for about a month).

I still want to go see him race the following weekend, but the ticket I could have purchased 2 days ago for $130 is now $700. I didn't purchase it 2 days ago 'cause he thought he might drive down Friday and then I could just ride with him...but now he's going Thursday and I can't take that day off work.

and just a bunch of other minor annoyances.

The Heene family is a bunch of complete nutjobs. About once a year for the past three or four years someone in the family has made it onto the nightly, local news for the latest halfassed caper in which he, she or they have been involved. Total whack jobs. :mad:

If any Lodge members happen to be watching the Oklahoma/Texas football game tomorrow look for a guy wearing a #7 Gopher football jersey in row 8 of the end zone full of Oklahoma fans. I heard a rumor that some Gopher fan is going to be at the game and will be the only one wearing maroon and a sea of red and burnt orange. :D

So, what you are saying is that they fit right in with the rest of your neighborhood? ;)

They make the cast of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest look like Amish people. These guys are total dipsticks, just like the monkeys in the cubicles surrounding yours. :D

WOOHOO! AWESOME!

Hellish day here - major annoyance with boss and co-worker's boss. Mini-meltdown barely avoided for co-worker. Wanted to hit my boss...hard...with a large fish (makes for a funny mental picture as he is 6'6'' and I am 5'...3'' (in shoes).

No cubicles in my office. Besides, hard to see the monkey's from the corner office on the top floor with all the windows and such. :p

FWIW I made a mistake on my call for the Gopher vs. penn state game. I mentioned Gophers by 8 touchdowns. What was I thinking? Clarification. 8 touchdown lead by half time. :p

It's official: you're an even bigger nutjob than the one for which Mookie keeps hoping from some Asian blonde. :eek:

Do you two have the same boss? ;)
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 86: Noobs, Halloween, and Pumpkins, oh my!

Now I get to be the downer dude.

Didn't get the Sirius job.

Weak, even though they are really impressed with my resume.

Poop.
