Wow.....Messenger is starting to suck rocks!

Yeah...all night I've been plagued with the inability to access some important emails on my friggin Hotmail account..I tried to access, and the window pops up that the server "is too busy". Ummm..excuse me? Like when does this ever happen? Certainly never happened to me before tomight, and I've had the same email address since 1998. Geez..then to complicate matters, my fuckin comp starts to freeze up on me, so accessing the info I needed to take care of the freezing prob I had became utterly impossible, and so, am slightly cheesed that I have to stay up longer than anticipated tonight to run my Norton program to ensure I don't have a worm or Trojan Horse lurking in my system. This'll be the first time since I installed the new hard drive and had all the bells and whistles programmed into this puppy. So Norton is halfway thru scanning all the files on my comp, and at the rate its going at present will complete when the sun starts rising, which out here is in an hour and a half. And to think...I have a 16 hr workday ahead of me.
Don't get me wrong...I can handle 16 hrs...its the next day, working the second set of 16 hrs that starts to get to me. I've actually decided to test drive a new energy "gel"..called Agel..a friend is selling it and claims to be just wired all day..basically its supposed to give you natural energy. Apparantly its a gel that is loaded with vitamins and minerals..you take one (or 2) a day and you should have energy for hours. Well, I just wanted to get it for the weekends, mainly cause I work ridiculous hours and don't want to be cursed with yawning through my shift. So, I get the package, and I try one....hours later, I'm yawning through my shift. I think, hmm..maybe it needs a few days of using the stuff before you feel the effects. So the next day I have another...still yawning thru the shift. So I decide to take one early in the afternoon and then one in the evening. I'm yawning, but not as much. I have a sneaking suspicion that it doesn't work as good as it says...its better at putting me to sleep, rather than keeping me awake. Hmm...maybe if I take one before bed, I'll fall asleep faster. I think I'll try it. For me tho, caffiene is the one drug I use in excess, and I have no probs with that. Coffee all day, even if its hot out. I find I drink pretty much the same amount now as I did when I went to University, but, it keeps me awake, and keeps yawning at bay...I hate yawning, because if you're in a group of people, it becomes some "Monkey see Monkey Do" or "Simon Says" game..suddenly everyone is yawning. It can get annoying, let me tell you.
Damn..Norton is still running..frig. What else can we chat about today? Oh! I had my picture in the local paper this week (for the record, I didn't want to do it, but Mom had it in her head that I was far more photogenic than she that day) cause some lady won a shirt from the house giveaway contest thats happening in town over the summer. Since the shirt had the restaurant name on it, it made sense that one of us would get the mug shot done. I insisted that my name (specifically my first name) be spelled proper. I was assured that my name would be accurate. So the paper comes out, and am dismayed to find that my last name is misspelled. Keep in mind, ladies and gents, that my first and last name was on their files from last year, accurately spelled and yet they still fuck it up. Then when I saw in a title the name "Northshore" spelled "Norhtshore", I had to shake my head and walk away. That error was in THE TITLE!!! How the hell could he miss it? How could the spellcheck on his comp not see that glaring error??? How much crack did he smoke that morning as he was meeting his deadlines???? God Almighty!
I swear..the next time I buy a paper with atrocious spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors, I will personally mark it, and send it back to them via the mail, so they can see. And to add insult to injury..they are raising the price of this "paper" (I use the term loosely) from 70 cents to 75cents. Well, I know that with inflation,sometimes one must raise the costs to offset overhead, but come on! Isn't there one person in all the people that work for the local paper that can at least SPELL????? GGRRRRRRRR!!!!
Anyhoo, virus program is done, and I must be off....Blogger question...what stupidity did you witness this week? This is your chance to rant! Also...alll my Blogger friends, and I know you all check this site from time to time..why the heck don't you leave a comment? I know some do, but they neglect to answer the Blogger question I almost always have with every chapter. SO evryone must leve a comment! One rule...keep it clean...no sexually derogative shit aimed towards me or anyone else who responds to the blog...I get enough of that crap from customers at the restaurant! You can swear (obviously I do). SO So tell me your stories, and rant away, and as always..long live Blogs!

I had responded earlier but got an error message and my response disappeared so here’s the Reader’s Digest version of my original response.

The stupidest thing I saw this week was the 20-year old girl who flipped me off in traffic after cutting me off. By coincidence we had taken the same exit and low and behold I found out that she lives only a ½ mile from my home.

Now what would have happened if I were not a mild-mannered worker bee who left the jobsite after a great day but instead was a deranged woman abuser who had a bad day at work and was on the prowl for his next victim?

Like I say often, “Always be polite to people, especially those you have never met because you just never know…”

I agree Sugarfoot....okay all you nasty drivers out there...quit driving like you own the damned highway..yes you may pay taxes, but so do all of us. We have a saying in Theatre that goes.."Be careful of the feet you step on today, because they may be connected to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow". Thanks for posting Sugarfoot. It makes my day! Cheers!
