1. Successfully resist the urge to kill a difficult coworker.
2. Not have my head explode from stress.
3. Find a better job within the company.

Max Headroom cannot have his head explode! It's just not right!

Yeah! That's Draco's job!

(Unless someone wants to make a MaxHeadAsplode sigpic, in which case, boom.)

Hey Wellie.

1. Fix the toilet. Tired of holding it in, anal retentiveness isn't the romantic experience it's been built up to be.

2. Fix the A/C. Summer in AL is not fun without A/C. I think I had a coolant leak, guys are due this evening.

3. Checkout "Mockingjay". Must be a prequel/sequel to "Hunger Games"?

Edit: Just to demonstrate what a can do/will do kind of guy I am, Mockingjay is the third book of the series. Am currently in book two. Also, am in love with the Kindle. Wish I had gone for the Fire, and I may yet do so. I have expressed my hatred of my friends with IPads, so that path is closed to me now.

Silvergirl's Silly Summer List:

1. Break up with my secret boyfriend, which is harder than it sounds, because we never talk.

2. Go swimming in one of the 2 public pools in our town. It only costs $3 for me to get in.

3. Decide whether I want to take this summer course in the Fundamentals of Music or drop it for later. The tuition is free, but it will still cost $106.30 for other fees, plus most likely I will need to buy a textbook for the course. It's an online course, though, so I won't have to travel to school much.

It's OK, secret girlfriend. I enjoyed our romantic non-walks in the park, our lack of book enthusiasm exchanges, and the coffees we didn't drink together.

I can take it, and I sort of understand if you've found another fantasy boyfriend that fulfills you in ways that I couldn't. Mainly because we never met.

You were a pleasant non-chapter in my life, and so I wish you the best.

We can still be friends, I hope.

Since you are now single, would you like to be my secret boyfriend? Your relationship with her sounded like a dream come true! I've got big plans for the weekend if you are interested in not being part of them at all. *eye waggle*

Actually, Kingfish is not my real secret boyfriend, but you could go ahead and give it a whirl. I'd hate to discourage such a promising non-relationship.

I did manage to break up with my real secret boyfriend, but as it turns out, he didn't even notice.

Which is just as well, because he's not my type of secret boyfriend anyway. He actually wanted to come out of the closet with our relationship. He really need kingfish to give him some secret boyfriend lessons.

I just could not resist!

1. I have turned to wringing my hands to avoid wringing anyone's neck - at work or at home.

2. Today I ate the damn croutons on my salad. They sucked. I kept eating them hoping it was just a fluke.

3. I have been surrounded by the number 47 lately. That, combined with the Redskins moving training camp to Richmond has me thinking a Cooley encounter is in my future.

My three:
- have a tent sleep with my youngest. Maybe backyard, but likely at the cottage
- have a family canoe/kayak day trip. Has to be long enough to require packing a lunch!
- fix my personal schedule. Need to exercise more (have started doing this already), FB game less, and sleep more!

2. Euro 2012

Es-pa-na! Es-pa-na! Es-pa-na!

Your boys looked good yesterday, albeit against a pretty weak team. A win or draw against Croatia guarantees an advance.

And laser hair removal sounds painful. They have to laser zap each hair follicle, right?

Unibrow, chin, or upper lip? Knuckles? OK. Kinda of falls into the required column.

Arms? Legs? Chest? Back? OK.

Underarm? A little less OK, but still OK.

Down there? You are a braver person than I.

Write that report!

ETA: Happy bourbon day, yesterday!

1. If you are someone's alibi, s/he's also yours. This can come in very, very handy.
2. No one know how to brew a decent iced tea here.
3. If you really desperate determined, you can remove a cork from a wine bottle with a screw and a pair of pliers.

2. No-one outside of the UK knows what a decent cup of tea is.

3. I find it easier to push the cork into the bottle.

2. True.
3. True, but my way was better than the suggested alternative of smashing the bottle neck against the counter.

I never found a decent glass of Iced tea in London. They don't use ice much, as far as I can tell.

One cube per glass.

If you want good iced tea, brewed and prepared right, come to the South.

Except for the fact that it's always sweet tea, which is an abomination against nature.

Here, iced tea is always sweetened and rarely 'real' brewed tea. It's a PITA to have to go to starbucks or any other coffee joint and patiently explain to them that they can just brew some tea, give me a glass of ice and I'll do the rest.

Splenda makes it good calorie-wise/bloodshgar wist too.

Splenda makes it good calorie-wise/bloodshgar wist too.

But not taste wise...

(Unsweetened matches those calorie and bloodsugar goals just fine, thankyouverymuch)

Last night I went into a Second Cup (a Canadian coffee chain) and asked if they had unsweetened brewed iced tea. Yes, yes they do. I exclaimed loudly at that "Fantastic!!! I am so happy I found a place that has unsweetened iced tea." The barista (baristo?) asked if I wanted lemon with that because it tastes really good with lemon. "Sure," I replied. I get to my table and look at the tea and there are 'syrup legs' mixing around in the tea. I taste it -- BLEECH! I bring it back and ask if he put lemon syrup in the tea. "Why, yes!" was his enthusiastic reply. I then had to explain to him that a) I definitely didn't want it and b) even though I did say he could put lemon in it, I assumed he meant a real lemon and if he said anything resembling the word 'syrup' I would have stopped him right away. I finally convinced him to brew me a cup of earl grey and stick a bunch of ice in it.

In addition to the fact I do not like sweetened tea, that industrial lemon syrup crap they pass off as tasty is just wrong on so many levels. Come to think of it, I probably got charged for the shot.

I find it easiest to push the spout on the box.

My two party tricks:
Open a non-twist off bottle of beer with a Bic lighter
Open a non-twist off bottle of beer on the edge of a table, counter, etc

I know a guy that takes tops off non-twist of beer bottles with his ring, while still wearing it. It appear to be a regular school ring, and he uses the palm side of the ring to do it.

3 more things with no real topic.

1. the coworker wasn't in today, so i didn't get a chance to ask her out. there's always next week.

2. while biking home in rush hour traffic, the freaking pedal on the bike i bought 10 days ago, breaks off. i nearly died. it was promptly returned to the store which shall remain nameless and i will be looking elsewhere for a new one.

3. i need a beer, now.

Good Luck with number 1 today!

We attended the annual "Leinie's family reunion" event this weekend at the brewery. This is the photographic evidence.

Oops-sorry I posted this under Mattyboy's crappy day post.

-Handcrafted by RollDdice

not an oops at all. Mattboy did say he needed a beer, which your post provides.

AND... your post is a reminder to Mattboy that we are wondering how his thing #1 is going!!

It's the new swoop;
or boink;
or it's code.
I'm not sure which.
