Bad Boss, March 2004

Lots of rain caused lots of water on the ground.


My driveway should have been in the front of this picture.


My driveway washed away and I was trapped at home. My manager told me that I had to come in to work because she needed a vacation day. She had worked 2 weeks with out a day off (other than the weekends). I built a bridge to drive across, but it collapsed. I had to get towed out of my driveway. I made it to work at 4pm (we closed our office at 5:30pm). My manager left at 11am, so our office was closed for 5 1/2 hours. All wasn't lost, however. She did get her vacation day.

Update & Bad Evening

I got my new manager on Monday. So far I'm glad he's there.

I didn't have the best of evenings last night.


First, I discovered that my laptop won't power up. Fortunately it's under waranty, so I won't have to pay to have it fixed.


Second, I slipped on the wet kitchen floor. My back hurts!


Third, I dropped my cell phone into the dogs' waterbowl. But it's hot enough out there that it dried out and seems to be fully functional again.

My text reads, "From the collection of my paternal grandmother. Unknown person labeled the photo 'Pioneer School Chadron, Nebr. Mother the girl in white.' "

I don't get it.

Why is this even an article?

Work

For the record, I don't think that it is stupid that I'll be having a new manager starting Monday. I've had lots and lots of different managers in my life and I'm used to it. Blah blah blah...

Overslept!

This week I have to be at my office at 5:30am. I've set the alarm to go off at 4:15am. Today I slept through the alarm and didn't wake up until 5:22am. You would think that in a house with 6 huskies that one of them would have gotten tired of the beeping and woken me sooner. I guess it's a good thing they aren't assistance dogs!


Thank you, Fargo, for waking me.

Pie Eater Explanation

My nephew came up with this joke when he was around 5 years old. It proves that he's related to my brother and me.

What is George Washington's favorite type of pie?

None. 'Cause he's dead.

My brother refers to dead people as "former pie eaters of the world."
