I have used this on my dog before. It's true, it makes them faster and smarter, but also quicker in smaller spaces and 3 cone drills.

 

Can we get some of that for Tre Edmunds?

What you don't know is they were pissed off and blamed you in the third minute!

Unbelievable &#%$ing chuckleheads.  Twelve people just spent two days trying to debug a script...it took me precisely thirty seconds to find that they'd spelled "load" L-A-O-D.  

 

That's almost $24k of your tax money down the drain, for a mother&#%$ing spelling error.  &#%$ing harebrained ass polyps I work with. 

 

How the hell have you not shot up the place yet?

I woke up with a stiff neck/shoulder and can barely turn my head. But hey, a few hours later I found out that I got a promotion. So hey, I get to celebrate that by sitting in bed all day.

Wake up this morning to an email..."Can you explain how to fix this?"

 

Yes.  First drink some bleach.  Then hit yourself in the head with a hammer.  Then go play on some railroad tracks - shiny ones. 

 

Jesus &#%$ing Christ.

DC Tom wanting to respond to the morning email typing "you're an idiot"

Checks script...

 

"You changed the wrong word.  You now have two misspelled words.  What is wrong with you?"

You and I should collaborate on a book.  No one would believe half of the stories.

5 or 6 military helicopters just flew over my house in formation. We see some interesting stuff since we’re a short distance from Fort Bragg. I just wish I was able to identify the planes/helicopters when they fly over.

Today at work:

 

"Hey, I don't recognize these accounts in the database.  They must be people who left the project.  I'm going to delete them."

 

No, you goddamn &#%$head, they're new people who joined the project this week, who I added Monday. 

 

Some people are only alive because it's illegal to kill them.

 

Flip side of that is:

 

Me:  Why are these people still in the database?  They both quit months ago.  We pay license fees per seat you know.

Marketing:  We haven't finished transferring their projects to other team members

Me:  How long does that take?

Marketing:  Not sure, we haven't really looked into it.

 

(Note:  we ended up firing the head of Marketing from those days).

Wait...what?  Someone turned an SNL skit into an actual product?  And it's not a floor cleaner?

Speaking of SNL, I just randomly flipped to nbc and was greeted with Phil Hartman and then a Wayne’s World skit. That was a pleasant surprise.

I saw three consecutive magazines on the rack at the grocery store today with Van Halen, Alex Trebek, and Sean Connery on the covers. I figured “hey, it’s all the issues for people who just died”. Then I noticed that the next one over had John Lennon. I thought, ok, during my lifetime, they’re pushing it a bit. Then the next one? George Washington.

I’m listening to music I haven’t heard in at least 15 years yet I remember every single word. Is everybody like that?

Since getting SiriusXM I've heard songs I haven't heard in decades.  Invariably I not only remember every word, but my steering wheel drumming is spot on.
