Calli ~ma to your dad that weird is a good weird.
I'm sadly missing winter today. It's sticky and hot and I got eaten alive by a mosquito last night. I went to the farmer's market, the comic store, and the natural food store today. Picked up some lavender oil to fight off the mosquitoes and now it is time to collapse.
And I though *I* once had a bad first day on the job:

And I though *I* once had a bad first day on the job:
It's no Squirrel Cop, but, still, poor guy! Hopefully he's used up all his crappy-day-at-work mojo on the first day and it'll be smooth sailing from here on out. Or maybe he ought to switch over to bicycle cop.
Well, at least HE didn't wreck the car, someone else drove into it while it was parked.
And I though *I* once had a bad first day on the job:
My friend Jay (not the one you know) set the Dairy Queen on fire on his first day. Basically, he accidentally started a small grease fire. He threw some paper towels on it to try to smother it. The towels caught fire and then set a poster on the wall on fire. The fire alarm went off and everyone left the kitchen. He just walked outside, got into his car, and drove away. He never went back.
OMG! That's hysterical. I could totally see the Jay I know doing that. I wish it were him who the story was about. Hee. Then I could tease him about having worked at DQ.
(Also...paper towels? On a grease fire?? Dude. I know that maybe you think "OK, water isn't supposed to go on a grease fire", but...who thinks PAPER TOWELS go on a FIRE?!?) (Isn't it baking soda or something, on a grease fire? Or, um, FIRE EXTINGUISHER?)
Well, yes. When he would tell the story, he would say "so, then I tried to throw some paper towels on it to smother it. I know, I was 16, give me a break"
who thinks PAPER TOWELS go on a FIRE?!?
Maybe he was trying a homeopathic remedy?
Catching up:
Neither did the Girl--I showed it to her tonight!
There's a Girl? meara has a Girl??? That's AWESOME!
(Clearly I have skipped some somewhere).
Hah! Well, yes, there's a Girl, but she's only been around a few weeks, so it's early days yet, Sean, you haven't missed much. And I"m sharing her, so she's not only MY girl. Hmph. OTOH, given how little I'm in town, I suppose it's only fair. And it DOES mean that I get to still go flirt with hot roadtripping twins at Trivia Night. If I were only smoove enough to, like, make something OUT of that. Sigh....
