Put on a Helmet and Duck

There's a cool bite in the air today in Frog Pond Holler, it's a welcome change from the sticky heat we've dealt with all summer. I have a hot cup of coffee, it's steam rising to circle the little stuffed pig sitting on my speaker. I can't do anything work wise for the time being, our system is down again. This time it involves the phone lines which keep fading in and out.

At least the internet works.

Allergies are kicking my keister this morning. Between churning snot and rubbing my eyes, I look like I've been on a bender for two or three days. I'm also trucking around in my purple fuzzy slippers and any management personnel who even look like they may comment get the runny-bloodshot-don't-give-me-a-reason-to-beat-you-with-this-piece-of-chit-you-call-a-stapler-evil-eye.

Bubbles' Bubbahubby must be off today. It's only 9 o'clock and he's already called three times. I swear, I'm going to sneak some Exlax in her lunch and while she's in the little girl's room for the long term, I'm getting her cell phone and changing the ring tone. I'd love to download some raunchy rap tune to set it to. That would be hilarious, anything's better than "Oh When the Saints Go Marching In" in midi file... over and over and over... all day long.

Bossman is out of town this week and I just had a disaster dropped in my lap. It seems he's been making impossible promises to the customers, then leaving to go out of town on sales calls when the shit is scheduled to hit the proverbial fan.

Oh joy.

I don't think standard ass kissing is going to fix this one. I'm off to put out fires, ya'll have a good one.

Bosses like that are the pits; making you take the fall for their shenanigans!

You have my total allergenic empathy. I have a prescription nasal spray and prescription eyedrops that help. They aren't perfect, but they do help. My eyes get terrible from January-April(tree pollen). Hope the pollen is magically wisked away by a wizard(He can whisk your co-worker's cell phone at the same time).
