What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[BoneSnapDeez]

Just kind of irritated. Allergy season has begun. My parents are visiting tomorrow - they invited themselves. In-laws will probably be here this weekend too (I never know until the last second). The house is trashed, I have a ton of homework, and no time to do anything. Blah.

Sounds like my world on a true adult scale. Allergy season began a long time ago but dang it if i don't sneeze like crazy at work, i think i must really be allergic to work or something, somehow...

nothing drives me more insane than family inviting themselves over or insisting that you attend a function at the last minute.

The trick is to live far enough away that they would need to take a plane and don't have enough extra space for them to stay comfortably. Then stick to your guns and say "you'll have to get a hotel" if they still want to power through.

I don't get along with my parents so it makes it doubly uncomfortable.

And now that I have a kid they can play the "but we need to see our granddaughter!" card. Ugh.

Ticked - One of the poison ivy rashes popped in the middle of the night. Thankfully my wife made me some arm guards so it just seeped into those, one down fifty to go.

Smiled - One of my wife's old bosses called her this morning for an emergency if she can work Friday and Saturday for a show in town. Its only for a couple hundred bucks but it will make my wife happy to do it again.

Ticked -We need to do hay this week and the weather soothsayers are saying rain every day, and you need atleast three days of no rain.

Smiled - Since I am wearing a long sleeve shirt to work today, everyone thinks I have an interview. I get a kick out of telling them all that it is in their department for a position with a title similar to theirs. Half of them get so freaked out they call their boss asking if they are in trouble. Truth be told, if I am interviewing for a position, I am most likely taking the day off to not raise suspension.

It only rains once you cut hay, fast. It never fails.

My wife thinks she is clever by saying "I told you about the family reunion two weeks ago" as she knows my memory is good for 13 days. I'm on to her.

That's both cold and funny.


Ticked, but mind-blowingly obvious:

My boss asked me to forward her the blogs I receive from funeral homes, so I did. And the I got "Why would you send a forward of something so morbid?"

So I played ball and apologized for doing exactly what my boss asked for. I hate doing the "Ummm...." thing as I think it's dicky, but, Ummm...funeral home blogs are going to be morbid and not uplifting. Most of the industry is looking to expand in baby caskets for still borns and expanding the cremation of pets.

I didn't write the blog, just passed it on as asked. ...And then somehow I'm callous.

That's a big "I really don't give a fudge" from me. And yes, somehow I say "don't give a fudge".

So, so true.

Ruined a PS2 I bought earlier for $30 by forgetting to put the metal shielding back on after a modchip install so it shorted out and died. It took me almost an hour to install it, it was my first time. Looking forward to offering cheap premodded PS2s and installation services but now I need another one to try it on. It's definitely the hardest system to mod, 20 or so wires, very small solder points. Usually people sell premodded PS2s for $100-130, but if I can buy them at $30, a chip for $10, I'd be okay with selling them for around $80 no problem because it's a lot of work, even disassembling it is work and dealing with delicate ribbon cables.

Watching The Twilight Zone episodes on Netflix all night, waiting for a call back for the job. Pretty confident I'll get it, I got along great with the HR lady and the manager.
