Before I left home this AM, I wrote a list of all the stuff that must get done this week. The list is on my desk, right in front of me under my cup of Starbucks, while I type this. (The Forum is not on the list, by the way...) I was sucked in by the vortex of the Forum before I even started work on that dang list.
I mustered up the energy to click on the link, but it didn't help my "mondaze" because my speakers are turned off. If I turn them on, everyone will know that I'm not working as hard as I appear to be.
Arrggh! this day so sucks. We had to terminate someone this morning, then I got to deal with a disgruntled ex-employee who had issues with his last paycheck. Dont'cha love it when they show up in person and demand answers!! My only saving grace is that I get to leave at 2pm today.
I was watching the first episode of "Survivor" online and I noticed a small button on the bottom of the screen that read "boss button".
When you clicked on it, the screen instantly changed to look like you were sending an e-mail through Outlook. Click on it again and the Survivor video starts up where you left off.
One more to either finish your Monday or start your Tuesday, depending on your time zone and lack of a real life:
Water & Wine
As Ben Franklin said: In wine there is wisdom, In beer there is freedom, In water there is bacteria.
In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. c oli) - bacteria found in feces.
In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.
However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting. Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health
Therefore: It's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shift(sp).
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information.

Three Arkansas surgeons were playing golf together and discussing surgeries they had performed. One of them said, "I'm the best surgeon in Arkansas . In my favorite case, a concert pianist lost seven fingers in an accident & I reattached them, and 8 months later he performed a private concert for the Queen of England. The second surgeon said, "That's nothing. A young man lost an arm and both legs in an accident. I reattached them, and 2 years later he won a gold Medal in track and field events in the Olympics." The third surgeon said, "You guys are amateurs. Several years ago a woman was high on cocaine and marijuana and she rode a horse head-on into a train, traveling 80 miles an hour. All I had left to work with was the woman's blonde hair and the horse's arss. I was able to put them together and now she's running for President!"
Twofer Tuesday: This one's dedicated to Paul and Q: A group of kindergartners were trying very hard to become accustomed to the First grade. The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher insisted on, " NO baby talk! You need to use 'Big People' words," she was always reminding them. She asked Chris what he had done over the weekend. "I went to visit my Nana." "No, you went to visit your GRANDMOTHER. Use 'Big People' words!" She then asked Mitchell what he had done. "I took a ride on a choo-choo." She said "No, you took a ride on a TRAIN. You must remember to use 'Big People' words." She then asked little Alec what he had done. "I read a book," he replied. "That's WONDERFUL!" the teacher said. "What book did you read?" Alec thought real hard about it, then puffed out his chest with great pride, and said, "Winnie the SHIFT(sp)".
In the summer we have a weeky talent show for our guests. One little girl read a "fractured fairy tale" where the words are all messed up.
It was very cute until she got to one particular line which unfortunately she repeated several times. I am not sure how the line was supposed to read but she read it very loudly and clearly:
You guys are great....Steaks your joke was too funny even though it hit home hard. We lived through many years with Billy Bob as our governor, then President, now the Library, but I think it's time to do something with the surgeon who who saved the blonde. That's just too much for any day of the week!

At least it worked for me but I'm easy to please.

So, today we all had the "Mondays". Whats our excuse going to be tomorrow?
Maybe it's "Tuesday Ditto Monday" Either way we are off to a bad start...SOAP...
