USS BILL CLINTON
The USS William Jefferson Clinton (CVS1) set sail today from its home port of Vancouver , BCThe ship is the first of its kind in the Navy and is a standing legacy to President Bill Clinton 'for his foresight in military budget cuts' and his conduct while holding the (formerly dignified) office of President.The ship is constructed nearly entirely from recycled aluminum and is completely solar powered with a top speed of 5 knots. It boasts an arsenal comprised of one (unarmed) F14 Tomcat or one (unarmed) F18 Hornet aircraft which, although they cannot be launched on the 100 foot flight deck, form a very menacing presence. As a standing order there are no firearms allowed on board.This crew, like the crew aboard the USS Jimmy Carter, is specially trained to avoid conflicts and appease any and all enemies of the United States at all costs. An onboard Type One DNC Universal Translator can send out messages of apology in any language to anyone who may find America offensive. The number of apologies are limitless and though some may seem hollow and disingenuous, the Navy advises all apologies will sound very sincere. In times of conflict, the USS Clinton has orders to seek refuge in Canada .
USS BARACK OBAMA
Details are as vague as his past, his economic policies and his credentials to lead.
But don't you worry.........he has a plan!
I know why some animals eat their young; it's because they're smarter than us! That's why.
First, on a positive note, the best thing about this site is that I can blog right in front of co-workers and they don't even know it because it looks like I'm just sending an email. How great is that?! lol It helps to work in an office full of idiots who probably couldn't tell if I was on a blogging site in the first place, but this just makes it easier. Kind of like taking candy from a baby...
Why do you think it is that, when you are talking about your animals and a co-worker has none, they have the right to be a total bitch about how much you spoil your loved ones and tell you how your animals need to learn to live in the real world BUT when said co-worker gets a dog there isn't a damn thing your animals can do that her's don't do better. She never runs out of stories about how great, wonderful, spoiled, etc. her damn dog is.
Now, don't get me wrong, I love dogs - absolutely! Sometimes I love my dogs more than my own kids (kidding - kinda), but damn it! Let someone tell a story about their animal WITHOUT having to top it or share about your own! There are 8 people in this office and 5 of us have dogs - yours can't always be better, funnier, more spoiled or whatever we are talking about! I think this is going to be a flippin Monday. My Fav Co-worker is just pissing me off today. I need a 12 year vacation!PD and I left our house before 8:30 this morning. We drove 1 1/2 hours to MT and had to stop at 3 stores. Then, we ate lunch and headed for OT. We got to OT around 12:30 this afternoon and didn't leave until 5:00! We got home at 6:00 and are both already ready for bed. HAHA We are so tired! I swear I'm too damn old for this much to do in a day. We need to live in a larger city so we can spread out errands out over the week instead of trying to cram it all into one day. PD and a few others are making improvements at work so he needed to buy a few things while we were out today. I don't think there was a single square inch of that car that was empty! He threatened that I might have to ride home on the luggage rack. I told him HE could ride there and I'd drive. He found room for everyone and everything pretty fast.
When we got home Pretty-boy and Pretty-girl were thrilled to see us, as always. I swear, I should have forwent having kids and just had puppies. LOL They are the bomb! Anyway, we let them run around outside for a while and then took them up to the office to unload some of the stuff we bought. Then we drove around with them for a while and let them stick their heads out the windows. We came home and fed them - guess what?! Turkey from HEB! I told PD if they get sick I'm laughing at him while he cleans up the mess. So far though, they haven't gotten sick. He said he thought it might be the treats he was feeding them. I talked to MLS and MSS yesterday and they are both doing good. I told them I probably wouldn't stop by today since we had such a long list of things to do. It sucks when we have to go to MT and OT in the same day. MLS graduates the first of December; I'm really proud of her. She has really worked hard and will be the first college graduate in the family. I'm pretty excited about that. I bought a new toy the other day, for creating books. It's called Your Story from Provo Craft. It's for making books, like hardback books. I can't wait to make a book. I am going to make the girls both one for Christmas for a stocking stuffer. I was thinking of the first picture being the first picture ever taken of them and the last picture being this years Christmas picture of them. Everything in-between will be of them from birth to now. I'm not sure how many pages a book can hold but it wouldn't even have to be many. I have some ideas but I have a few projects to finish first and I don't have the Christmas picture yet anyway. I think I'm going to work on calendars for a couple of friends tomorrow and then Saturday PD and I have to go to a party for some co-workers. We can't really not show up, it would look bad for PD at work. So, we go...
It seems I can't remember any of my passwords any more. I used to have them memorized without even thinking about it but here lately, I can't even remember my password to the bank! It's frustrating; makes me feel old or something.
Yesterday at work, DQ was being a total pita. I swear that is the most insecure person I've ever met. She has the need to micro-manage every single aspect of every single life around her. She starts trying to tell me how to do my job when I'm the one who trained her on the software we use! I tried to be nice but finally, I got pretty rude and told her that we would already be through if she would do her own job and stop trying to tell me how to do mine. She acted like a wounded puppy for the rest of the day but she didn't tell me how to do my job any more. Bosslady is worthless as ever. She has no backbone when it comes to DQ. I doubt she ever will. Other than that, life is pretty good. Oh but I did tell bosslady that I was bored and she offered to let me do some filing. LOL I told her 'busy-work' did NOT equal 'challenge' and I was not in the least little bit interested in filing someone else's paperwork. Then, she offered to let me set up a web-site for work, which is very interesting and something I would like to learn more about but certainly not for the peanuts they are willing to pay me to do it. That family has built their entire fortune by stepping on the backs of others. Also, at work I am the chair of a committee designed to get people to come to or choose our business over others. We had a meeting today and I felt like it went really well. In January we will have new members come on the committee so I invited them to come to the meeting as well. Most had good input and only one person didn't have much to say at all. But he's brand new to the company and said he was just kind of watching today. I can certainly understand that so I'm not going to be too hard on the guy for not jumping right in. HA Pretty-boy and Pretty-girl (my dogs) are both doing well but everytime we feed them turkey from HEB they get sick. I told PD we needed to stop buying that and just cook them chicken at home so we could control what went into the food they were eating. Who knows if he will listen to me. LOL I guess we'll find out tomorrow when we go to the store. The cat is still alive. Bless her heart, she's almost 14 and needs to die already. Ya, that's mean but it's also true. I think she's so old she doesn't know she needs to die. So I'll just keep feeding her and petting her until she does.This is the place I am going to be me and all me. God help us all!
Shh, no one knows I'm here. Let's keep it that way...
