Um, pain sucks…
New Employee Plaster Prank
There is someone at work I’d love to do this to…
Now today was a great day. I tried to be superman and not used my crutch to get around today. Everything was GREAT, until I got home and my toe had bled through the bandage and was swollen. Thus Nurse Joanna sent me back to work with a crutch and a swift kick in the ass.
I got alot accomplished at work and really felt good about everything at the house. I can see the beginnings of the end of stage 1 of a 5 stage process. Once, this weekend is over and, we have the kids room painted will I feel comfortable.
But I am choosing the rest of my time on the blog this evening to tell you about my friend Mitch. Yup, he’s stuck in Spring, Texas and recently has spent 12 days without power. His family, of his wonderful wife, beautiful step-daughter and wonderful son have been in the closest thing to hell that any of us know next to Doc Chako and Special K whose Iraq visits take the closest plane of hell available.
I’d like for you to look around and see all the things you do with just simple power. From charging your cell phone, to keeping your bottle of pop cold. They have none of it. As well as limited gas and a hole in the roof.
So while we sit with our fans and AC going, they are sweltering away with mosquitoes biting and frustrations at new lengths.
They are having the same problems of supplies and other insurance issues, that happened before in this country. What is it going to take to actually get a government that will respond?
As for the bail outs that have dominated the news… Why? Give me a reason that we need to give the boneheads anything. The rules that protected us were eliminated. Because of greed.
So if you want to bail them out, go ahead.
But this taxpayer wants my $2,300 share of the bailout in stocks/bonds/assets of these boneheads. For when they get back to doing stupid stuff and making millions.
I want to get paid back…
In spades!

Day 13. Today we received great news that the power should be restored by Sunday the 28th. That is great right? Except for the fact we have been existing on the belief up until today that tomorrow we would be getting power. So you hope for Thursday and think you are at the end of the tunnel and then the tunnel gets ripped away from you and the CIA needs to learn these techniques to breaking people because lack of sleep, loss of a normal life, and no ever reaching a goal or the end is a very effective technique for causing someone to lose their ever loving mind. Foot laser therapy for wart treatment is a pretty good one too. If I had state secrets, I would have talked. That hurt.
Cindy, (the wife) stopped at a POD. That is Point of Distribution for those of you never had the pleasure of being in a disaster recovery area. Got 3 bags of ice and 2 cases of bottled water and 2 big boxes of tuna salad MRE’s. Me, I think I will have my ice grilled on my BBQ pit. Just to change up the menu a little.
Sorry, lost count. this is day 12. Please reduce my mental anguish and suffering by one day. I will add it to tomorrow’s total in order to be completely accurate in my misery index.
