Snow in the forecast when there are still lots of green leaves on the trees - please, not another October Surprise! Whatever happened to Indian summer? Freakin' weird weather..............

Our group's grant is up next year - we've reapplied for a new one, but the preparations that we have to go through for the site visit on top of our regular work (which has also increased to make the numbers look good for the grant proposal) are burning me out faster than a VW tail light bulb :) .
I took a week off at the beginning of September and it already feels like that was six months ago. Our site visit is in November, so perhaps when the holidays arrive, things will finally begin to slow down. I'm already considering asking my Harley dealer if they have a sales job open (except that because the economy sucks, not many people are buying motorcycles).
Oh,yeah - the weather has sucked so bad it's been almost two weeks since I last was out on the bike. Lately, riding's the only thing that has put a smile on my face......
Is it Friday yet?

Folks who park in fire zones at malls and supermarkets right in front door. Often let off their honey, who is often a twenty - thirty something sweetie, no apparent disability , hero cranks up the air conditioning, stereo, stretches his seat back, honey races into supermarket, collecting her desires. Where do these folk get that they more special than others, that they don't park like the rest of people. Wish these folk be stripped naked, strapped on poles in front of market , signs reading "selfish arrogant losers". These spots are to be open for a good reason,
My local supermarket has "No parking or standing" signs out in front of their store, each with a nice soft black rubber base. When I see the inevitable jerk parked there right next to the sign, I generally pick one up and put it on the hood of their car. :angel:

Driving the other day and flipping radio stations I came across WBEN 930. All I have to say is WTF? I listened to a women profess what a good Christian she is and how she works at a Christian High School and the offense she took at some of her fellow workers support of our current President. She then went on a 5 minute rant about why she shouldn't have to work and have her tax dollars go to helping those in need. WTF?
Talk radio by nature is designed to raise hackles and get people like this to call in. And the hosts fan the flames. I cannot listen to talk radio for more than 30 seconds because it makes me want to smash the radio with a sledgehammer. Grrr... :angry:

The fact that I scheduled my vacation next week, when the weather has been perfect THIS week. (Latest forecast: Showers next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.) :wallbash:

I'm Mr Obvious, and public transportation etiquette should be a requirement in schools.
Not to mention elevator etiquette (allowing people to get off the elevator before trying to force your way on), cell phone etiquette (too many to go into) and parking lot etiquette (tearing diagonally across an empty portion of the lot while some of us are driving between the rows). Ughh! :doh:

Those who drive their cars in the rain with NO headlights. Hmm...gray car, gray clouds, gray road, gray spray. Yep, I'll leave my headlights off so I can drive in stealth mode. It's not only a really good idea to turn your headlights on when the weather sucks, it's the law. (Maybe it's the same group of people who are texting while driving...) :rolleyes:

I hate thinking about Sabres hockey in the summer...too many happy things to do outside. Maybe after the draft, I can put the Sabres sad situation in a dark, dusty corner of my brain until October....

Why do the majority of my support calls come between noon and 1:00 when I am at lunch (well, supposed to be, anyway)? I've had days when my phone rang ONLY during that hour. (Yes, I tried taking lunch later but the calls shifted too - I swear!)
-
The other day when it was sunny and 72 degrees (with low humidity), I saw people driving around with their car windows up and (I assume) the air conditioning on. What? We wait all winter for a gorgeous day like that and then you don't even open the window for fresh air? Oh wait...that's because the wind noise will disrupt your cell phone conversation. Which is illegal. And annoying. Yeesh!

I hate this guy. He doesn't get the concept of a buffer pisser either.
Kind of on this topic, I heard a great line from a local comedian (first name Bob, last name lost to the dim recesses of my brain...and that's pretty dim!) He was in the rest room before a show and he accidentally splashed water on the front of his pants while washing his hands. A fellow comedian dared him to go out on stage like that and come up with a punch line to explain it. The dare was accepted. Bob goes out on stage, apologizes for his appearance and says he was in the rest room and had to leave quickly. He was standing there taking care of business when a guy walks up to the urinal next to him, looks over and says, " Nice d**k". God, what a great line...... :lol:

My complaint is that the only women interested in me are 45, fat, and from Canada or Russia. :doh:
The only ones who give me the time of day are ones that look like my great aunt Blanche....horrifying! :blink:

My inbox keeps piling up with new stuff to do here at work. Each message says something about it being top priority. Yeah, that really gives me an idea of what to do next. I had just started to get things back in order here over the past week, but now it's chaos again. Would someone please give me a couple million dollars so I don't have to deal with this anymore? I'll take you golfing with me.
If I had the $$, I would certainly share. I feel exactly the same way. Everyone has something for me to do that is more important than what I'm already working on. I wind up with umpteen unfinished jobs, a headache and everyone in the office ticked because I didn't address their request first. I've bought more lottery tickets in the last three months than in the previous ten years. At least the weather is going to be nice over the weekend!

I'm taking a left turn in this thread, but I just had to say - despite the fact that we won, I still friggin' HATE the Flyers. Oh, and their bloodthirsty, unsophisticated fans, too. Boors. Grrrr. OK, it's out of my system, now.

If the Sabres play just .500 hockey the rest of the way ... they finish with 90 points :)
The team obviously listened to Lindy when he said the games in October are just as important as the ones in April. Dang!
:D -Ed

The game is on "Leafs TV", which I guess is a cable dealie up there in Ontario. For us: nada. I think the only locally televised preseason game is Sept. 30 (which I have tickets for, anyway....) BUT! We have hockey! I can't wait to hear RJ reel off his first "he SCORRRRES!".....ooh! Goosebumps!
Let's Go, Buffalo!
