good thing i don't have a normal job, where i have to show up at a specific time or else they get pissed at me. good thing sweats and a shickshinny tshirt slightly wet from wiping off the coffee i dribbled on it is ok to wear there. i slept in till well after nine this morning. one exception to the fragrance weirdenss i have? the CKone. i may not like it on every single day, but it wakes me up like coffee, so it's the only one i carry with me at all times. we are such scent driven creatures, or at least i am. god i love driving, i wish the drive were longer but then i'd only get there later. but i love to cruise the buick and listen to the loud music. tom petty: 'you think you're gonna take her away, with your money and your cocaine'. me: hmm, cocaine. ahh, the 80's. weren't they grand? then i remember for much of the 80's i had a boyfriend that liked to take the song words and make them into these stupid jokes. heart = fart, etc. so the 80's b/f would have been singing along with tom, 'she's gonna cut a smelly fart, it's gonna smell a lot like poo'. he also he would switch love for drugs. actually, that works pretty seamlessly, as far as lyric substitutions go. ok so maybe the 80's weren't so great, eh?
remember that song, johnny, angry johnny, this is jezebel in hell? i used to think it was a love triangle, between angry johnny, jezebel in hell, and either-way ivan. of course it just says, either way, either, but i liked my version way better.
i pull in to the parking lot right before ten am. i think in my mind, today's the day i bitch at them about that non-raise. then i think, how can i flounce in the door at 10am and still think of demanding one more dollar an hour (that's all, just one more lousy dollar, how much is that to them, how much of a difference to me)?
no, there's no point here. there isn't supposed to be, really, that would be silly.
I'm in the habit of using hooha all the time. hee! Batgrl has started a trend, and there's no telling when it will stop. ;)
kd, thanks for the help this am. I haven't tried it yet, but plan to as soon as I get home. You ARE a web goddess. Don't ever think any differently. ;)
hooha is one of the most wonderful words i know of. it's so useful and yet so whimsical.
I'm with you all the way about good music while driving, not too familiar with the ones you mentioned though. It is a really great feeling to drive out of the hospital on Friday evening when I'm not on call for the weekend and blast some good CDs in the traffic on the way home. What a way to start the weekend! (and boy do I envy you for your casual dress at work!)
you've never heard of Tom Petty? whoa.
the other song, yeah, mid-90's one hit wonder band by Poe -- damn i loved that song.
mmmm, Tom Petty. good driving music indeed. :D
I want to strangle people who do that to me with songs. Because ever after, a part of my brain will be singing those wrong words, and I can never really enjoy that song... *sigh* Ok, sometimes it is funny. Depends on how bad the new lyrics are!
Meanwhile I'm having warm fuzzies over your hooha category. It's such a nice, useful word, and so willing to be used. Think how proud it is that it has its own category here!
You should start a home business. With the blog explosion I would bet there would be a huge demand for people to either set up blogs or repair them when they get screwed up. A person could make a lot of money, and they wouldn't have to leave the house or get to a job at any certain time. You would be perfect for something like that, because you're so great at that kind of stuff.
there was an opening at blogger.com for a customer service person, which would have been sorta ideal, except it's in the bay area and some out of work a-lister will no doubt snatch it up. and as far as going into business, the MT licensing strictly prohibits people charging to setup MT for people, because that's one of their revenue thingys.
and if i were to rant about the impracticality of the current hosting situation i've got myself into, well, ...
paychecks are so nice. even little ones. 'cause you know when you're getting them. and how much they'll be. and that you'll have a car and a house for another month, even if only barely.
*sigh*
oh i forgot to mention. another 80's association, is this computer programmer i was foolin' around with. roger. and we were on this boat and this eddie money song comes on and roger sings:
'i've got two ticks and some parasites'
and i sing:
'wont you pack your bags, we'll flea tonight'.
that was really, really, really hysterically funny at the time. you'll have to trust me on that.
I'm curious about some more "roger" stories. You naughty girl.
oh god. roger. funny how your radar picked up on that, that was indeed one of the naughtiest dalliances i ever had.
if only our coworkers had known what we were doing on their desks after they went home. if only.
and the neat thing was, it was this hot crazy thing for awhile, then it sorta went away, and no one ever suspected a thing, nor did it affect our working relationship. do not try this at work, kids.
but god it was fun while it lasted.
I find that your behaviour was perverted and goes against everything this country stands for. In other words, I like it!
