read at your own risk. i’m as cranky as a rabid bobcat.
i won’t even list the things that are irking me. its all little things, but so many of them. the last couple days have just been ….irritating. i’m tired. i’m stressed. i’m frantically rushing from one thing to another.
to calm my galled spirit….let’s post some pictures of dogs playing. shall we?
here goes.
pickles is running after her poodle friend, coco.
and now,
pickles is cautiously walking away from coco who appears to be…freaking out.
and lastly,
pickles has given up on playing and would like to go home now.
ok pickles. home we go.
pickles not feeling well is one of the items on my irk-list. as is cody bear’s constant health battle.
i think i need a vacation….

so i took pickles to her first agility trial today. just as a spectator. she’s too young to compete…and….i don’t know what the hell i’m doing.
anyway. we’re sitting there, minding our own business. in between trials. all alone on the bleachers. pickles had just had her second play period with one of her biological siblings, so she was kind of winded.
and this lady walks up and here’s what went down:
“how old is your pup?” pet pet pet
“4 1/2 months.”
“she’s fat.”
ok. she then begins telling me that i feed my dog too much, that pickles is going to have problems with her joints, etc. i say my vet says she’s fine. “they always say that.”
she continues to tell me how i’m over feeding my puppy and that she has 3 border collies and they were never this fat, till i say, “thanks for your opinion. who are you?”
“i’m one of the judges. i’m from canada.”
first of all, pickles isn’t fat. she’s a puppy. with a puppy belly. as a puppy, one day she looks chubby, another day she’s all awkward and gangly. second of all. don’t just walk up to a complete stranger and insult their dog and tell them they’re shitty pet owners cuz their dogs are going to have joint damage if you don’t start feeding them less. mind…your…own business.
i just took this pic 5 minutes ago. as you can see, pickles is not morbidly obese.
so, anyway….i got to thinking….of COURSE she thinks pickles is too fat….for a border collie puppy. ha HA. see that’s where the jokes on you canadian judge. pickles is a border collie shepherd MIX, with who knows what else. she has NEVER been as dainty as the other border collie puppies she knows. not all breeds are that skinny.
so, dumb stupid judge…you can’t even tell an imposter border collie! fooled ya!
oh, and here is her royal dainty-ness now, the judge from canada who has saved my dog from arthritis and heart disease….
jerk.

hi. so, i thought i would expand on the office dynamic, continuing on earlier post of the sit-chee-ation.
i believe my coworker lied because….he didn’t know how to test the drive. so he stuck me with it and left, contrary to what our boss told him to do. but here’s the deal….
I DO QUICKBOOKS! i’m in charge of ordering things, billing, being cheery to customers, making the boss laugh. that’s my job. 2 years ago i offered to learn about building the pcs and installing software or testing them to help the guys out when they’re busy.
i’ve learned tons, and with the exception of this guy, things here are grand. i get many perks from the boss: mostly gadgets, pc related items, time off. last month i got a 2+1 port firewire card! woo hoo! AND a 4 GB compact flash card for my canon! (no you dih’nt…oh yes i did!) but this guy makes a few grand more than i do a year, so he needs to learn how to do his job.
the boss has already determined his skills aren’t what he said they were in the interview.
so, i’m going to play it cool. it is hard dealing with the woman-hater glances, the lies and the refusals to do what i tell him, but if he doesn’t start stepping up soon, well….who knows.
as long as i have you guys to vent to, i won’t be the complainer at the office. so thanks people. thanks from the bottom of my internet connection!
…..so that i can vent about my (*#% coworker!
ok, so i am learning to live with the fact that this guy leaves the seat up and makes a mess of the bathroom bowl. if his mama couldn’t fix him, how can i. but, i have had to call him into my office and talk to him about refilling the t.p. or the paper towels in the restroom if he is the last to use them. but did he do that this morning? NO!
he can’t get dirty at work, by the way. so the boss and i can’t rely on him to do anything resembling taking the trash out. carrying boxes make the cuffs of his shirt dirty. he didn’t help me unload the truck full of 16 pcs last week, until, conveniently i was on my last one. knowing he was supposed to help! i can’t even beginnnnn to tell you all the stupid crap he has done this week!
my head is going to pop off if he doesn’t get nicer, drop the attitude and use some common sense.
WE NOW RETURN TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED MAD LIB THURSDAY. PLEASE LEAVE YOUR WORDS IN THE COMMENTS BELOW. THANK YOU….AND COME BACK SOON
my grouchiness saved my life today. it’s true. i was in the car alot, work errands and such. people were driving 25mph in 35mph zones, forgetting to DRIVE when the light turned green.
so,….i’m at a red light, left hand turn lane. the light turns green and i’m hangin’ at the red arrow. light yellow, arrow red: one car goes through. red light green arrow, my foot off the break, car speeds through.
…instead of proceeding i flip out. that’s IT! that’s the last straw. i should have stepped on the gas, and the folks behind me were probably cursing at me. i bang the steering wheel and start swearing, certain i look like homer simpson’s dad. next car, red light, MY green arrow, speeds through. if i hadn’t reached my limit and been having my temper tantrum….i, as well as my car, would be pretty dented right now.
so, see people, being cranking isn’t ALWAYS a bad thing.
things that irked me today: slow drivers, red light runners, wayyy toooo much cologne on coworker i had to go on work errand with, allergies,
3:44pm today
me: “hi (so & so)! (boss’s name) says you can go ahead and complete this last pc”
new guy: “ok. are more coming.”
me: “yes, but for now, just finish this one”
new guy: “ok”
4:04 pm: pc box not opened yet
me: “hey (new guy’s name), the floppy kit for that pc is right there.”
new guy: “i know. i saw it.”
4:30: (work ends at 5)
me: “(new guy’s name) are you going to do this pc?”
new guy: “i’m going to go get my car washed first. it’ll be ready today”
4:35: (we close at 5)
new guy: “you can lock up. i’ll be back” (pc box STILL NOT OPENED)
my boss has put me in charge of this guy, but this guy continues to not take direction from the …FEMALE. tomorrow, after clearing it with the bos….i’m clouding up and raining allllll over him.
JUST KIDDING! but seriously….he has to be nicer…..right?

ok, i have had a crappy year (and now 2 months more) with this stupid car. i am ready to admit it. my 2001 honda civic lx is i flippin’ LEMON.
for the record….this is my first rant EVER on wordpress. here goes….
I HATE MY CAR.
i have tried to love it, i have.
also, its not allllll my car’s fault. the 6 tires i have had to replace last year have nothing to do with its lemon status. that’s just crappy luck.
but, since feb 07 here is what has been done to my 2001 civic with, to date, ONLY 78,700 MILES. (un-fuh-reakin-believable)
power steering replaced TWICE
brand new transmission (already, you ask? YES)
all new breaks
new bushings
3 motor mounts replaced at TWO separate times
all new suspension
drivers side front power window motor. (can’t replace that as its not necessary)
so,….mind you, it runs like a jalopy. the cabin noise is horrendous. it vibrates. and…again….only 78700 miles!!!!
wowwww…..i feel sooooo much better.
i am starting a pool with my friends. similar to a super bowl pool or final four pool:
everyone puts 5 bux in, and they pick which shotty p.o.s. car part dies next. i go first: i bet the air conditioning dies. in july. on a day where it is 101 degrees out. you don’t need to be that specific. just say what part goes first.
i am never ever ever ever ever buying another honda again(please do not take this opportunity to spout out about buying american. i will simply delete your commit and ….worst punishment of all….give you my car.)
