Friday Fires
Fridays are supposed to be relaxing and go smoothly. The perfect entrance to a rather relaxing weekend.
Blow that for a lark.
I spent the first three hours at work this morning putting out administrative bullshit fires. People that want to change the rules so that they work less even if it does disaccommodate others. People that can’t seem to realize that most of us are intelligent enough to recognize bullshit when it comes our way. People that think they are King of the World (even though they’ve got a REALLY tiny scepter).
And then there’s Verizon Wireless. ‘Nuf said.
It’s pheasant season (I can hear all my local readers saying “No shit Sherlock!”) and there are some really yummy-nummy hunters in town. With big guns.
I wonder what the record time for getting a hunter out of his carharts happens to be? (And Mr. Owl says “Let’s find out. One…two…three…)
In a typical display of Humbuggery I’m playing Not-at-Home for trick or treaters tonight. There aren’t any children in my neighborhood and I refuse to pander to the Minivan-driving parents who bring their boistrous brood into my neighborhood in search of the “good” candy.
Unless, of course, they happen to be Yummy-Nummy Hunters. Then I’ll take the Trick, please.

Instead of having to hide in your own home every year, hand out sugar-free diabetic candy and plain boring erasers to the kids…next year you will be known as “Don’t go to that house ’cause they give away crap.” It works every time!!
Is Humbuggery different from run-of-the-mill buggery?
We’re pretending to be out, too. From now until after Christmas, in fact, to avoid trick-or-treaters, then any ‘penny for the guy’ kids for Bonfire/Guy Fawke’s Night (although this has all but died out I think) and finally bloody carol singers. God, I’m such a miserable old git these days.
I have had those co-workers around the office this week too,
trying hard to get out of the duties they’re responsible for…
ass-wipes..
as for trick or treat,,, i pretend not to be home….
drives the dog crazy.
Have a good weekend,

What did Verizon do now?
They’ve been pretty good to me. I’ve had them since they were Houston Cellular and then Ariel? I forgot what they were. But one of my good friends’ ex is that Verizon guy, the can you hear me now guy.
@apocatim - For some reason they shifted me to a different call plan, indicated that I violated my contract and wanted to penalize me. It took about an hour on the phone to get it straightened out.
