Monday Mishmash
Stuff I don't hate, Stuff I hate, Travel, cats November 3rd, 2008
What’s on Kathy’s mind today?
To my best good friend, Tracey, who threw her back out lifting an object she could have thrown over her head twenty years ago, I’m sorry for your injury, but you’re old now. Welcome to the club.
To the guy who called me today and left his phone number at lightning speed, I didn’t get it. I had to listen to your message three times because you sounded like you had a mouth full of marbles. If you’re leaving me your number, it’s because you know I don’t have it. Slow the hell down.
To my colleague, Heather. Thank you for making a pot of coffee every day before I come into the office. You don’t even drink coffee. You’re good people.
To my cat, Lucky, who insists on burrowing under a blanket on the couch for whatever reason. I do not know you are there. Learn how to make a warning noise or you shall require a visit to the vet to get unflattened. And I’m not so sure they have a procedure for that.
To my other cat, Stinky, who just walked across my laptop keyboard, you know that screws me up, right?
To daylight savings time, you suck. I feel like changing into my pajamas before I even leave work.
To whoever thought of putting bread in a thin bag and then thought to put it in another bag, that’s just stupid. Trust us. It goes stale as fast in two bags as it does in one. One is less annoying.
To that guy who darted unsafely in and out of my lane this morning, it gave me great pleasure to time my speed such that you never got back into the lane and then missed the exit you wanted so bad. Me, 1. Jerks, 0.
And there you have it. Anything on your mind today? The more random, the better.

Oh, yes, I’m also thinking about my husband. He’s just boarding a plane in Hong Kong to begin his odyssey home from a business trip in China. He will have been gone (what tense is that? future perfect or something?), for 10 days. Do people even still talk that way? Anyway, the plane from Hong Kong will land in Tokyo, then onto Detroit, then finally to New York. Thank God he has a car bringing him to our front door. The poor man failed to see his beloved Phillies win the World Series. I DVR’d the final games, and the parade, too. This weekend we will head out to our favorite tavern for cheeseburgers.
Thanks Kath, for letting me ramble on…..

November 4th, 2008 at 5:18 am
ann of the junkdrawerblogfamily — Ah, yes! Lemon Kevin! I sang that song all day yesterday. Although I tried not to think about his polyp. Poor Polyp Kevin.
Jaffer — I enjoy hearing about your food choices, both here and on Twitter. It’s a shame, because it makes me hungry and my fridge doesn’t contain any of the things yours does. It has fridge envy. Hope your headache went away.
Regan — That’s because you’re still in grade school. Your days will get a whole lot more interesting when you go to college. But don’t tell your mother why.
Lee — Highway Slalom! I love that! This particular guy cut off the guy behind me and made him move off to the berm. But he still didn’t get in. HA!
Carla — Yes, but you won’t get a lot of sympathy from us. We all want to play with cheese! Oh, BTW, I found the Rembrandt Gouda at my local store! A little pricey, but it did make me savor it longer.
ann of the junkdrawerblogfamily — Yes, I think that’s future perfect tense. Mrs. Weinhoffer would be so proud! The only bad thing about the Phils winning the World Series is that he missed it live. Still, I’d watch a tape of it over and over myself. It never gets old! Glad he’ll be home soon.
ImitationAngel — You should have seen the grin on my face. Couldn’t be helped. It felt good to see him have consequences for his behavior. Too often, jerks don’t!
Jessica — I hate leaving work in the dark. It’s so wrong! And then I’m ready for bed right after dinner. Gah! How many more months of this?!
robert bourne — You, sir, are correct! The jerks can’t win all the time, can they?
Jeff — Ah, yes. But did you want it enough to actually make it? Food dreams. They’re great because they’re calorie-free!
goingliksixty — There’s another reason I hate it. I never know which time I’m on. I’m calling it DDT, Dark and Depressing Time. That works for me.
Linda — After I finished writing that, I realized I only had one good thing listed. Yikes. It reminded me of one of my 10 Things That Annoy Me posts. I guess I needed to vent.
WillThink4Wine — I would much rather have light at the end of the day. It’d improve my mood significantly. But I guess we still do it for the safety of kids going to school. Is that it? There’d better be a good reason.

ROFL!! That’s funny. We now have to leave a light on overnight for our old dog – The Pirate – who is losing his sight. If we don’t, he tries to get into bed with his companion The Princess, who Does Not Like It and responds accordingly. One day we figured someone would get hurt, and sure enough it happened. The PRINCESS ended up with three puncture wounds (from his toenails) and a bruised toe (from trying to leap up while pinned down).
What am I thinking about this morning?
I’m thinking the plumber may well go home disturbed and traumatised by the sight of a large brindle greyhound sleeping in an armchair wearing pink and purple ’skullie’ design fleece jammies.
He’s lucky she wasn’t in her multicoloured penguins!
Tee hee.

November 4th, 2008 at 8:03 am
OMG Kathy, I just adore you. I am so glad you beat out that crazy lane changer. I hate those. Here’s a hint for the bread-put it in the fridge. It stays fresh longer.
I’ve got a couple thanks. Thanks to my dog Dave for actually waiting to pee UNTIL we got outside. But not so thankful for my other dog, Sissy, who feels the best way to wake me up is sit on my face!

To my cat Stripey: sprawling your mass across the register in the dark hallway, hogging all the heat, is a surefire way to not only get kicked, but also make Mommy almost fall down the stairs. Learn to move when you see feet coming at you – remember that I am the one that feeds your fat ass.

Yeah, here’s one: Thanks to my colleagues who, without fail, never notice when: the giant water bottle is empty; the coffee pod boxes are empty; there is no toilet paper/paper towels in the ladies room; there is no paper in the copier. Seriously. Because I love replacing the giant water bottle four times a week; opening a replacement box of pods; walking to the supply closet for TP; and filling the copier on a daily basis. It fills me with unbridled joy.

One of my dogs sat on the laptop keyboard last night and did something that sent it into “hibernate” mode, just as I was finishing a lengthy, witty comment on someone’s blog. I just gave up and went to bed. Where I proceeded to dream, all night, that I was on “Dancing with the Stars.” I had on one of those no-midsection dresses that all the female dancers wear, so I knew for sure it was a dream…I would NEVER show my middle to anyone voluntarily. Also, I think I may be a little too obsessed with that show, since I’m dreaming about it.

I am thinking, based on this, that Lucky may be called Lucky for a reason.
PS- if the unfortunate occurs and you flatten Lucky, the vet will simply take a fireplace bellows and puff him back up again. That’s what they do on that fine example of animal information, LooneyTunes.

I drive the beltway every day, and I will admit to occasionally blocking obnoxious drivers who seem to be in SUCH A HURRY. Usually in their expensive sports car, talking on their blackberry.
My Monday consisted of bringing in leftover Halloween cupcakes and pumpkin muffins to work. Played soccer with some of the Hedge Apples in the road as I walk in from the parking lot. (almost hit a car, but got one all the way down the street and into the storm drain, SCORE!)
Fielded 2 impossible requests by noon (umm, NO, you can’t have that) Solved several critical problems for helpless users. Left early so I didn’t have to drive home in the dark. (curse regular time!)

1) A woman drove to the park the other day, got out of her truck with an empty jug, walked to a nearby water spigot and proceeded to tell me how her cat only drank city water.
2) A man just dropped off his resume at the front desk. As soon as he hit the sidewalk outside he picked his nose. It was a sticky one too, judging by how he kept flicking his fingers.
3) I love having hand sanitizer in my office.
4) I hate shrink wrapped bread.
5) I should probably be blogging.

Somehow my cat, Spunky Doodle, got stuck in the den closet all day yesterday. My husband didn’t find her until he came home from work at 4:30. I usually pet her before I leave in the morning to say goodbye, but I was running a bit late for the bus and didn’t have to go looking for her. Sorry, Spunky!
My husband and I took off today for voting since the forecast was nice which turned out good. We were done voting in just 10 minutes and didn’t have to wait at all going at 11:10 a.m.
November 4th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
To my coworker: By age 30 you should have learned to stop chewing with your mouth open. And please, please, please stop bringing Bagel Chips to eat. It sounds like you’re chomping on rocks.
To my bosses: You can’t declare how “offended” you are by an anti-Obama email you received, and then proceed to ridicule McCain and Palin. Hypocrites.
To the helicopters that hovered over my house at 6:30am: You’re lucky I had already been awake for a good hour, and I hope you caught whatever criminal you were after.

Just this morning I was thinking of jotting down the registration plate of every car who does something stupid in my view when I am driving.
I was thinking of posting the plates in a constantly updating blog post called ‘__ drivers’ utilising a yet-to-be-determined oath.

Sherry Martschink — Trust me. You weren’t ever this guy. He was really erratic and unsafe. I feel like I won one for all of us normal drivers.
Daisy the Curly Cat — I bet you can! Stinky managed to actually insert a hyperlink! I wouldn’t have even noticed it otherwise. That girl can blog!
Henson Ray — Ah, thanks bud!
Jay — Oh noes! I’m sorry the Princess was injured! Our Lucky boy managed to scratch the cornea of Shadow once while play fighting. Accidents will happen. So did the plumber tell you he’s never coming back to your jammies-wearin’ greyhound? What a sight that must be!
Data Entry Services — Do you hear that? It’s everyone in the Junk Drawer giving your bosses a collective raspberry! Cripes.
Preston — Hey, I do it for all you guys. We won one! You have so much more tolerance than me having dogs. I’m lazy and very much like that the cats don’t require me to get up to let them pee. Of course, they can do the sitting-on-head thing.
Fancy — I’m with ya there. I can never see our black cat Shadow on the floor. She always lays down exactly where she can get killed.
JD at I Do Things — The cell phone numbers are the worst because they don’t register on our phone playback system so I can have a machine repeat it to me. Stupids!
Babs beetle — It’s always raining where you are! Hope you put on some great music and danced around your living room in your skivvies. That’s the way it should be done, you know.
Susan — I can tell. I have a feeling they think the Office Supply Replacement Fairies come around ever now and then and replenish everything. My advice. Stop doing it!
amber — I’m telling you. I had such a big smile on my face when I watched that guy take a route he didn’t want. I hope it made him late for work. I bet you weren’t the only one who showed up for church early. But I bet you didn’t curse about it until you got home.
absepa — Wow, I asked for random and got random! So did your laptop ever come out of hibernate?? Funny about the dress. Yes, it’s required they have no middle and be sequined to the hilt! I bet you looked shiny.
brooke — Oops. I do what your Dad does a lot. My husband hates when I accuse him of losing the remote when it was the couch that ate it. I’m guessing Aubrey is kind of a talker? Oh, no! I promise I won’t stop blogging. Besides, how will I ever know what’s on your minds? This is good stuff!
Explorer — That’s the reason I leave my number nice and slow, at the pace I know it takes to write it down. I’m awesome like that.
Chris (Casey) — It can come with sensors to only go off for persistent jerks. And, yes, no kids or pets. We’re so kind, aren’t we?
Jenn — Got that right. Lucky has had some near misses. Actually, he is very lucky because a couple months after we adopted him, a fatal virus ran through the SPCA and killed nearly all the cats. He’s workin’ on the lives he has left. LOL at the Looney Tunes! I love a Looney Tunes world with crazy things happen and nobody questions it.
Mike — I sometimes think of getting a dog, but there’s that lazy part of me that remembers I have to walk it and take it outside. I love the self-sufficient nature of cats. Except for the screaming to be fed part.
shadowsrider — Block obnoxious drivers all you want. You won’t get a complaint from me. We gotta work together! Congrats on your apple soccer game. Sounds like fun! And way to finish out your day.
Geakz — You’re kidding about the cat thing, right? Right? I bet booger guy won’t get the job. (And check that paper for sticky things.) Yeah, dude. And Twittering. Where the hell are you these days? Jaffer’s been on a roll.
HeatherHere — That sounds like my days! Slug City all the way. If it makes you feel any better, I got the voting location wrong when I went to vote. I blame it on my township and their stupid map changes. Luckily, my wait was only 10 minutes.
storybeader — Aw, that’s nice! Second opinions are priceless sometimes.
Canucklehead — Well, that’s a given for both of us, my friend.
Bruce — Got that right. I thank her every time for doing it and she says it’s no bother. I love her.
Joe — Awesome. And YES! All polling places must have bake sales. I was dying to buy a bag of chocolate chip cookies for two bucks, but thought better of it. I’m on a diet after all. Crap!
Karen — OK, here goes. I once locked Stinky in the garage overnight. And another time Lucky slipped into the powder room when I went in to check my lipstick. He spent the day in there, in the dark, with nothing to occupy his time but unraveling all the toilet paper he could find. I felt terrible and still do.
Angi — I hate your coworker. Your bosses are messed up. If it makes you feel any better, I live directly under an airport flight path. I still haven’t gotten used to the noise. Thanks for sharing. I sense you needed that.
Ken Armstrong — Oh, please do it! I know there’s a website dedicated to bad parkers, It’s called Youparklikeana**hole.com. There is precedence. Check it out!
Broadway Matron — Oh, boy. At least I was at work and didn’t get ambushed. Although I did have two robocalls on the machine reminding me to vote, after just getting back from voting. Whatever.
flit — It was heaven. Pure heaven.

Sorry about my super-duper randomness! I have no excuse, other than the fact that I had just come out of a really long, boring staff meeting.
As for the laptop, I was watching a YouTube video when it was forcefully hibernated by the dog’s butt. Something about the video was wigging everything out. A couple of reboots seemed to take care of it, so I didn’t have to ask the Husband for help. I wish dogs could understand “don’t step on/sit on/bat at the computer.”

To my sister: you are 33 grow up and give up on the middle child syndrome already!!!!
to my co-workers: if you feel the need to take 45 minutes to complain about how no one does their jobs try doing your own first.
to my husband: get off your skinny butt and clean if your so dang bored.
to my cat hamlet: stop crying and shut up, you have night vision you can see in the dark if you just open your eyes and if your food dish is only half full you know we will refill it when its empty you will not starve to death.
to my mom: i love you and want you to get out of the hospital soon… and listen to your doctors.

I love screwing people up in traffic when they are driving like an idiot. It makes me smile when I know that they’ve been pulling dangerous in and outs for 20 mins, only to miss the exit bc Oooops, I didn’t slow down so they could cut me off AGAIN. Instead, I sped up. And coasted beside them through the exit.
Its the best way to start a day. Better than coffee or cornflakes or a morning quickie. Well, wait. I guess it depends on how quick the quickie….but that is a different conversation entirely. =p
November 5th, 2008 at 2:29 am
Okay Kathy, you asked for it!
To the idiot fiddling with his eyeglasses while blowing past me driving 80 mph on the 10 East yesterday at 12:15 pm: thanks for nearly sideswiping me in MY lane.
To my ovaries: thanks for this little “trick” you’re playing on me. I’m SO enjoying my own personal summer.
To the parents of the 1st & 2nd graders at the school where I’m subbing for the librarian: please teach your children how to whisper!
To the office staff of Dr. Park, Dr. Hamid, & Dr. Berbos: please learn how to do your job, so I don’t have to do it for you.
To the drivers of the high profile vehicles on my street: the speed bumps were put there to SLOW everyone down. They were not meant to be a high-speed challenge.
To Yolie, my coworker: I’m a LIBRARIAN, not a LIBARIAN.
To Regan, my big bad Boxer: you’re smart ~ please figure out a way to give me a heads up BEFORE you gas me out of the living room.
So there you have it. If I were over this cold of mine, perhaps I could find something nice to say. Guess that will have to wait for another day

Hannah — It’s so stupid. The inner bag is too thin, it’s hard to open and has nowhere to go when the loaf gets smaller. Why bread people? Why?
meleah rebeccah — Maybe I wouldn’t mind so much if I lived in warmer climes. Darkness at 5PM and arctic temperatures form a recipe for depression if ever there was one. Ugh.
Babs beetle — Yeah, but being entertained by you is so much more fun than any cat toy!
absepa — I Love Randomness!! I pray you have a small dog. I think the butt of a large dog could wipe out the whole laptop.
Melissa — Now, didn’t that feel better? I always considered the Junk Drawer good therapy. If your mom gets out of the hospital soon, all the other stuff won’t matter, right? Sending good vibes to her.
kara — As long as we screw up other drivers safely, I’m all for it! Who says you can’t teach them any lessons? By morning quickie, do you mean shake and pour pancakes? Oh, wait. That’s not what you meant. Tee hee.
Mama O — Oh, boy. That’s a load off, isn’t it? The one that kills me the most is “libarian.” An adult says that? And do you also work at a “liberry?” p.s. My cat, Shadow, does the same thing. It’s deadly.
Celia — Oh, don’t do that! It’s hard enough for me to remember everyone when they don’t do the name switcheroo on me! Happy Birthday to you, but it’s possible you’ll miss college when you get into the rat race. Savor this last year!
savvysuzie — Thanks for the award! I’ve never been an “uber” anything before!

Yes, the double-bagged bread! Hate it. Congratulations on your jerky driver defense maneuver. On my mind is the ghastly girl who would not let me over after I’d engaged my blinker well in advance of my exit. After driving exactly parallel to me no matter what my speed for about half a mile, I honked my horn and made a flicking motion with my fingers, as when you’re going to to flick someone in the head. She laughed, didn’t let me over and I missed my effin exit. Beyotch.

Now I’m thinking of change I can believe in – quarters, dimes, nickels …

Kathy:
You are so funny. To the guy who darted in and out of lane – I’ve done exactly you said you’d like to do. I drove along right beside him until he missed his ramp. Yeah! That felt so good. It was one time I loved being flipped off.
What about all of the people who call your phone in the middle of the night – and it’s a wrong number? I would love it if I could turn my phone into a Taser that would work on wrong numbers. How about 50,000 volts in their ear?
What about all the people who still insist on paying their grocery bill with a check? Gawd, it’s 2008 already. And to top it off, they wait until everything is cashiered and bagged before they even begin to write the check. And then they stand there and slowly record the check in their checkbook. I sincerely wish that their shopping cart would have a bad wheel. There, push that baby across the parking lot.
This list could go on and on, but nothing tops your subjects. Great post.
Happy trails.

Vivienne — So sorry about your missing the exit. See, there’s an important distinction in the “not letting people over” technique I employed. Nice people get in, a-holes don’t. I would have let you in!
Canucklehead — I all heard was bacon. Cue mouth-watering. I would vote for bacon for president if only it would run.
Swubird — Excellent rant, my friend. Your list is my list. We could compare notes. I have tried to shoot laser beams out my eyes at the people who write checks at the grocery store, but it gives me a headache, as I have not perfected it yet. One day, check-writing people. One day.

Yes she is a talker, but she is really loud. It is just not like speaking loud it is yelling for me and you, but you never want to hear her yelling it is relly painful to your ears.

meleah rebeccah — And now that more partitions were put up in our office, I don’t see any natural light during the day. It forces me to go out for lunch. How many months of this left?
brooke — Oh, and you know how annoying noises already bother me. I’m glad I don’t have an Aubrey in my life. You have my sympathies.
