Is that the same Robert Bly who's a copywriting/marketing guru?
No, different Bob. Nevermind. |

I can hear the Board from where I'm sitting (Good News Bad News thread for more details). The downside of not being there is they can misrepresent things.
YES I DID minute that X was going to join the Board - check the Appendix (actually they just have while I was typing that) BUT IT WASN'T given as an action point and NO-ONE said I should be contacting X to attend this meeting. Grrrrr. They've spent about 5 minutes bemoaning the fact that X isn't at this meeting, and why not and was he contacted and why not and blah blah blah. I actually do a good job here (Cellar visits notwithstanding) and it's annoying when people try to suggest it's me that's let something slip. I have no contact details for the man, nor was I given any. It was not minuted as an action point because no-one brought it up as such - it was minuted exactly as it was discussed - as information only - "X will be attending the next Board Meeting." Sorry, very petty. I just don't like it when people pass the buck. ETA In fact rereading this it is incredibly petty. I must remember not everything is meant as a personal criticism!

It's a good thing I didn't have Internet service for the past few days or y'all would "hear" me bitching mightily about having no friggin' electric either.
But we're back online, in every sense. I do however want to complain about school. The kids' school was closed till today. MY school was not. Well, Brianna's and mine. That royally sucked. Especially when teachers still expected papers typed and not handwritten, and online assignments done...blargh. I actually typed a two-page paper on a MANUAL TYPEWRITER. ugh. There's a reason why the word processor was invented. Here's another thing to bitch about. I read Beowulf twice, once for a class I took Spring quarter, and now this time. Took a quiz yesterday. I got a whopping 50%. Whoo hoo, there goes my GPA! I guess the teacher makes up for it by being so damn sexy (sigh) He's this young, tall, rugged-looking Brit with a Scottish accent that comes out when he reads Seamus Heaney's translation, as it should be. Yum. |

Oh hai, rev-ing motorcycle guy! I hear you're back in my 'hood again. We thought you were so cool last night, when you were leaving the bar at 2:30 am. So, were you finally able to impress one of those hawt drunk chicks with your awesomely loud crotch rocket? It sounded like you had to work really hard at it; I hope it paid off for you. If not, at least you wouldn't have been insulted when she told you to fuck off...since you couldn't hear her.
'Til 2:30 tonight! |

Invest in a few dozen cheap cable locks and go out into the street and lock the rear wheel while the bike is parked. Do it stealthy like so you don't get the crap kicked out of you. Kewl.

But wouldn't that just keep him there longer, still able to rev to his heart's content?

Mildly irritating me RFN is my inability to find a picture.
It would go really well in the FAWET thread. I took it before a hike, of all my gear all laid out. I know it is on my computer (and in My Pictures) because it sometimes pops up on my screensaver which is set to wander randomly through this folder. It must be at the start on one of my hikes, and I have only a few which it might be. Can I find the bugger? Nope. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Don't look at me like I'm not sorry. Why, I'm the sorriest son of a gun this side of the Pecos.
Oh, whoops.

Oh hai two young lads on a little monkey bike! I know, why not tear-arse round the streets, especially the two I work on? No, don't put on any protective gear or observe any of the rules of the road, we can tell you're illegal anyway. Yes, buzz past the pubs and rev up in front of the flats because we know you're savouring how rebellious you are. I wish some of my slightly-less-law-abiding-than me customers were as noise sensitive as I was. Or that you'd made one of their kids have to run across the road because you came out of nowhere. Why? Because they'd wait for you to come round again and punch you off the annoying blarty little thing. And serve you right because that's about the only reprimand you'd understand.

just hobble out in the street with a cane. When they buzz you, shove the cane in the spokes. Tell the cops they tried to run you down.
