What will I be doing today?
After two inches of snow Friday night and now this, apparently, not much.
How about some Monday mood music. . .
Do not follow the ideas of others, but learn to listen to the voice within yourself. Your body and mind will become clear and you will realize the unity of all things. -- Dōgen

That is all.
This is what my Monday feels like.
After a weekend of dreary, dull, wet weather we need some Vitamin D!!
. . .here I is!!
Back safe and sound in the confines of Worksville.
Let me just say that sometimes I'm smart. And sometimes I'm really smart. And other times I'm really really smart. This ain't one of those times.
At the Jackson airport this morning, after a rather uneventful flight, I wheeled my bag out to the parking garage to find that some dumbass left his truck window down all weekend. That'd be this dumbass right here. Yet, thankfully it appears that the innards were unmolested. Even the crumpled up dollar bill tucked under the armrest/console thing was still there, crumpled up.
So, thanks to all the people who walked past my truck and didn't steal my all-important dollar. Or my Gourmet magazine. Or my dirty workboots. Or last week's Clarion-Ledger.
In celebration of the goodness of humanity and my return to slavery work, let's play a personal fave of my by The Pretender's, Back on the Chain Gang.
Indeed.
Gotta love Microsoft.
I tried re-installing Windows XP yesterday and have run into some difficulties, so the trusty ol' laptop is down until further notice. Posting may be at a trickle.
Remember kids, always delete to old partition first, cause if your WIN XP copy in the partition is newer than your recovery CD, then the computer will get stuck in a setup loop asking for a Service Pack 2 file as the install of XP is compared to the partitioned copy. Using a burned copy of SP2 will not work because the upgrade file is an executable file only. So, I'm stuck in loop, stuck in a loop, stuck in a loop. . .
And also for your info, at least on my HP Pavilion ZD8110, there is not way to interfere with install during the reboot to cancel the install and F8 is no help either. It simply leads back to asking for the SP2 'asms' file. SHit! Double SHit! And since during reboot, WIN XP is able to capture the hard drive, holding it hostage virtually, I cannot backdoor a format c: using shift+F10 to kill the partition either. Farked I'm telling you!!
Anyway, my dilemma for today. Have good one!
Another lovely winter day begins here in Mississippi. New Year's Eve I was freezing my boo-tay off trying to break in a new fire barrel and today? Well, it's threatening rain and it's 55 degrees outside heading to a high of 65. It's a blizzard out there.
We are sitting around the office with not much to do on this lovely Monday (Friday?) morning. We have no lab work to speak of and the likelihood of a contractor calling today is minimal. But there are two ding-dongs so far who want to make life miserable for everyone else, so we wait. We wait. We wait.
Hey, the phone is ringing. . .hang on a sec. . .
Wrong number.
So, good morning planet Earth! How you doing today?
. . .this weekend, I ate McDonald's. Even though months ago, I swore off that infernal place.
I'll spill the beans later, but first I get to go stand in the cold, blowing wind and watch other people work. Hey, it's what I get paid for.
In keeping with my declaration a while back about making Monday's a happy day instead of the same old tired policies of the Bush administration, er, I mean my policy of raising hell on Monday, here's a happy thought:
How'd that extra hour of sleep feel last night?
Man, I feel great! Good food over the weekend, a great night's sleep, a steaming hot cup of coffee to warm me up, so Monday, bring it on!!!!
Not even dumb, communistic comments from Barack Obama can slow me down today! Woooohooo!
I'm turning over a new leaf here at The Toast.
On Monday's, instead of making my eyes bleed with rage about some miniscule injustice, I will begin to post happy items for your enjoyment.
So enjoy this and sit back to wait for Tuesday. I can't stand Tuesdays. . .
Ow, my leg hurts.
Ow, my back hurts.
Ow, my shoulder hurts.
Ow, I have to go the the dentist.
Ow, my baby is sick.
Ow, what is the worker's comp. claim number?
Ow, how come I don't have any vacation days left?
Ow, why is my house foundation settling?
Ow, it's gonna cost what?
Ow, that's too much.
Ow, the fax machine doesn't work.
Ow, I mailed time sensitive materials to you through the regular mail and it took 4 days to get there.
Ow, I work for a government entity that builds your roads and bridges, we lost your paperwork from 5 years ago.
Ow, can you send it again?
Ow, the equipment is broken.
My Monday in a nutshell.
How was yours?
