I’m glad to see that my cat (Manny) isn’t the only one fascinated by our front-loading washer.

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director how do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.

‘Well,’ said the Director, ‘we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.’

‘Oh, I understand,’ said the visitor. ‘A normal person would use the bucket because it’s bigger than the spoon or the teacup.’

Keep in mind that the Yaris I had was the beneath standard package with power nothing and no cruise.  I think I was lucky it came with a steering wheel.  But I did love having such amazing gas mileage.  That and the fact that it was so tiny I could park it anywhere.  

But this new gas guzzling SUV/Crossover/Whatever the heck it’s called is so luxurious, I’m quickly getting spoiled. This new big, comfortable beasty has power everything, cruise, adjustable stuff, tons upon tons of space and roomy comfort. 

 It’s got a dozen way cool gadgets that tell me how many miles I have left to go on my current tank of gas, what my average mileage is (I don’t look at that one, it’s depressing) and even what my tire pressure is.  It’s also got OnStar, which I’m still learning about.  It’s kind of freaky speaking to them because all of a sudden a voice is coming from your car speakers calling you by name like you’re old friends.  But it’s super convenient.  And it makes me feel all special, like I’m a bigwig of Tiger Woods type status.  

So don’t be surprised if I pass you on Goodman Rd with my nose in the air, cause I’m just that important.  

…or that’s no cat.

Just when I thought I couldn’t get more frustrated at work.

I can’t believe how some people are so afraid of making a decision on their own that they’d rather make 10 time as much work for other people rather than do the right thing. Ridiculous.

….been so pissed off at the world you can’t see straight?  I’m there.  

I am so there.

In what I’m sure will be seen as a hilarious twist of fate, I just purchased a truck so I’m in no position to do anything about a royally fabulous treatment I just got at work.  Maybe next time they’ll buy me dinner before they bend me over like this again.

Yes, it’s another whiny, crybaby post about my knee. It hurts! It’s black and blue and swollen like an ugly grapefruit. A big puffy purple grapefruit. Actually that wouldn’t be a grapefruit. Ok, it looks like a giant blueberry. Like that kid from Willy Wonka, only it’s just my knee, not all of me.
