Thoughts on the Day

  • Last night I dreamed about a “Greg The Bunny”/”Firefly” mashup.  It was pretty awesome.
  • I woke up at 3:50 AM, 5 minutes before the tornado siren a block from the house went off.  
  • By 4:30 AM, the kids were in the basement, along with all of our things we needed, and Irish Woman and I were upstairs speculating on the odds of the worst part of the storm making it to hour house.
  • The difference in our marriage:
    • By 5 AM, Irish Woman was in the kitchen making pancakes and eggs for breakfast, because people get hungry.
    • By 5 AM, I was unconscious on the couch, because hey, it’s a good time to be asleep.
  • Today I found myself getting irritated with computers who did what I told them to do, not what I meant for them to do.
  • By the time my latest project plan actually gets to implementation, it’s going to be so shot to hell that it’ll form paper dolls if I unstaple it.
  • Sequence for the commute home tonight:
    • Almost make it to my car before it starts to rain.
    • Drive though rain for about 15 minutes
    • Break through the rain and get ahead of the storm for 5 minutes
    • Hit a traffic snarl, sit in traffic for 10 minutes, get overtaken by the storm
    • Get though traffic, speed through storms edge for 5 minutes, take off ramp from freeway.
    • Wait 5 minutes to make right turn off of freeway.  Get overtaken by storm.
    • Get rained on by the storm for rest of drive home
    • Get home just in time to walk through the same rainstorm I almost beat when going out in the first place.
  • I will never understand why some people get offended when you ask them a direct, job-related question instead of dancing around a subject that they don’t want to confront.

      Yep, another series that I have to go back and watch. One day I will be done with school/kids/whatever enough to watch TV series when they are actually on TV.

    Re the last one, it’s because they DON’T want to answer the questions, as that will point out how F’ed up things are… sigh
