weaktwosTonight, and for the next few weeks, I shall be on call for our region's servers and hardware.
The good news: $30 a day on call pay, plus overtime if I have to get my candy-ass into work.
The bad news: I must carry my work cell phone with me everywhere. Piffle.
Today I put in a 10 hour day. Plenty of hawt verk ack(!)-shun.
I am not feeling so perky at the moment. I need booze, men, and smokes!
No, wait. I need a trip to the gym, errands, and to straighen up the house.
I must say, some people are soooo stoooopid. Here's why:
-Claims professionals getting confused on how they plug their tape recorders into their phone sets when there's one connection involved, and can be seen from plain view every day of their painful uncritically thoughtful lives.
-Traffic jam-bunnies rubbernecking over a FUCKING FLAT TIRE REPAIR. This explains the success of reality TV shows, folks! Hell's Bells! Why can't there be a nuclear device that kills only stupid people! The Cretin Bomb! Yes!! Yesssss!
Well, no. That would blow the curve.

If we are stopped and I (and the C.H.P.) deem it Idiocy, I will be deputised to pull your silly ass out of the car, toss you into my trailer, and drive you, unsecured down a dusty, bumpy road, where I will deliver you onto Males and Females both named Bubba willl make sausage of you after teaching you to jump through meth-filled hoops...Ths was a tough Friday- Suburbanites were out in Force.
Damn...
