I only recently got the whole ‘don’t drop the soap’ prison reference. Ewwww.

Note to self

Although the cherry car freshner does smell nice, you are allergic to it. And the last thing your driving needs is incessant sneezing.

Comeuppance

A couple of days ago, I was teasing someone for not charging their ipod overnight. “Rookie mistake,” I called it. Well lo and behold, if the ipod veteran didn’t arrive to work today and notice that her ipod was only half full AND her charger is sitting on her couch at home because she didn’t want to make her bag heavier by bringing it.

We’ve sent our first “why am I not in your top eight?!” message.

Death threats start on Monday.

Fun with horoscopes

Someone might be on your case today, but you really don’t need a reminder from anyone to tell you what you haven’t completed. You know all too well what you must do; the problem is that you may lack the concentration needed to finish the job. If your willpower is insufficient now, rest assured that you will have more energy in the days to follow.

If you’ve tried to IM me in the past few days during business hours and I didn’t respond…it’s not that I hate you. The new computer I received from IT doesn’t allow popups.

If however, you tried contacting me after hours and I didn’t respond, it’s because I hate you.

Still Crazy After All These Years

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007 by Dawn Summers

I logged into one of my old email accounts the other day and I got a message from yahoo that they had closed the address due to disuse. After four months without a log in, they shut it down, erased all the messages and bounce emails sent to it.
This turn of events alarmed me.
I am an unrepentant packrat who saves everything. I hate the idea that there are all these messsages just lost to cyberspace.
So, I’ve been doing the unthinkable.
I’m logging in all my email addresses and rereading all my emails. And printing them.
This is madness.
It must stop.
On the other hand, my friends do write some funny, funny stuff.

Not so random thought

I really do need to stop getting mad at myself for all the wrong things.

An open letter

Friday, March 23rd, 2007 by Dawn Summers

Dear old lady on the M86 bus this afternoon,

If you are going to yell at a man for not getting up and letting a woman stand, you should make sure you are, in fact, yelling at a man and not a middle aged woman with closely cropped hair.

Just sayin’.

Sincerely,

Dawn Summers

Pardon my French

Who in the sacre bleu thought it was a good idea to MOVE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME UP BY TWO FRICKING DAMN WEEEKS??????

In 2005, Congress decided Americans needed a little more sunshine in their lives and ordered that daylight-saving time be extended four weeks beginning this year.

Now with clocks slated to spring forward three weeks earlier than usual, on March 11, high-tech pundits are wondering how big a headache this will cause for computer users — and whether this will be a replay of the Y2K bug drama of 1999.

For instance, airlines could be thrown off schedule, creating havoc for travelers. People could miss meetings. Cell phone calls could be mistakenly billed during peak hours. All kinds of automatic orders and messages could be mistimed.

Just when I thought I’d exhausted my list of reasons for why Republicans were the suck…
