my beer money

There's a thread going on over at Making Light where people spoof the Most Interesting Man in the World. I thought it was quite hilarious, until contributions were made by the author of an SF novel that was turned into a movie where Kevin Costner delivers mail after Civilization's collapse. Sorry, but that author once was quite condescending to me, an act that resulted in my getting rid of anything by him that I might own and Hell will freeze over before his words get any of my beer money. Mind you, I don't drink, but you know what I mean.

carpentry and socks

If I can, I'll leave work early and do a bit of 'carpentry' in the garage. I tend to put quotes around the word because saying that what I do is carpentry would be the same as my sticking my hand inside a sock to make a puppet of it and then pretending I'm the equal of Shari Lewis.

an old Klingon proverb - part two

My fellow team coordinator may be from India, but she does know about revenge being a dish best served cold. She learned about the saying thru "The Wrath of Khan".

stopping

The new henchboss turned out to be just like its predecessors, and will always kowtow to incompetent users rather than supporting me. Note to myself... Stop caring, dammit, and be content with the paycheck. Pride in work well done does not pay grocery bills.
