The teenage solution?
Wed Dec 19 2001

Ok, someone needs to invent a pill that will halt the hormonal influx into pubscent children. That person will be the richest person in the world.....

Now, where did I put that duct tape......?





Relief In Sight

The kids actually almost behaved better this morning, it's amazing what threatening to cancel Christmas will do!!!
Relief may FINALLY be in sight. After being kept apart from hunkka-hunkka hubby since last July, it finally looks like we will get to be back together sometime in early January. I am totally stoked about this. My boss on the other hand started crying.

It is so awesome to have a job where the people you work for like and appreciate you! I can only hope that if I have to work after we move, I will be able to find another great place to work for. I HATE LEAVING MY JOB!!!!
Most people think I am nuts, but working a computer Help Desk has been an endless source of amusement and fun. Particularly slow days when we can make up causes for problems with the computers to tell people.

-Non-linear waterfoul insufficiency - don't have their ducks in a row
-Impedance of electron flow - power not applied
-Reverse position of the power button - they didn't turn the damn thing on...
-ID 10 T error - person is an ID10T (idiot) and shouldn't be allowed to have a computer
-Short between the keyboard and the seat - see ID 10 T error
-Sunspots - who knows, but the problem magically stopped

At least I am not as bad as my co-worker who tells the user to re-boot, then puts the caller on hold, goes to the bathroom, gets a cup of coffee then comes back to the call....

I still recall with fondness the call I got from someone who thought they broke the computer. Their explanation was that when they moved it, the weight had not changed from the day before. This caller thought that the software that had been loaded that morning somehow was lost. After explaining to the caller that loading software on a computer WILL NOT MAKE IT WEIGH MORE, and walking them through a couple minor installs to prove this, the caller was convinced.

Some people should have their computers taken away and be given an etch-a-sketch...





Downward spiral into my addiction

I can hear it calling me in the chambers of my mind. Knowing that submitting to this addiction will bring a short blissful time where my mind blurs and becomes absorbed in colors and shapes without meaning.
I open my arms to embrace this substance that rules my life. The guilt and shame lost in the knowledge that as this substance infuses my body, bliss will overcome any and all other feelings...thoughts...truths.

This addiction that rules my life, leaves me with an agonizing decision that I have to make. Weighing each option with guilt, regret, indecision.

Which to choose, plain... or peanut?

    kids are so amazingly able to magically bring out a vast array of emotions... frustration and love are the two that most often surface with me... Now if I can only find that manual...
