Random Thoughts*

I have a lumpy dog. Giant Schnauzers are susceptible to skin disorders, and the older he gets, the lumpier his skin becomes. Poor Boogie.

If you're planning a Very Important Meeting, don't you think it's better to get a commitment for the time with the participants before sending out six meeting invitations in one day?

Don't you wonder if people who do a really stellar job of dealing with difficult customers are secretly medicating themselves in order to refrain from climbing the Clock Tower? Seriously - no one can be that patient, and that calm. Or perhaps I'm just projecting.

Yesterday was World Malaria Day. Have you considered donating a net?

The Smart Man took a couple of days off this week. I would totally dig having a house-husband. He needs to work on that.

I'm currently listening to The Panic Virus by Seth Mnookin. I keep having to stop because my blood pressure is rising with every example of cognitive dissonance or fucksticks just plain lying their asses off as it relates to vaccine safety. Why are people so damn gullible? Get the facts, not the fiction, then vaccinate your kids. For everyone's sake, but especially theirs.

My Hot Mom had a minor fender-bender yesterday. Poor Hot Mom - in 55 years of driving, she's never had an accident and it's wigging her out just a bit.

I really need a vacation. I'm holding on like grim death for our upcoming Hawaiian cruise. GRIM DEATH.

Ditto on the vacation front. Only I don't have a Hawaii cruise planned. :( (Don't you feel bad for me? Bad enough to stow me away in the steerage? ;)

And I'm pretty sure the SmartMan would be happy to "work on" being a house husband. BUT would you still be able to buy your retirement Beemer?

Anne, I'd be willing to give up the Beemer in exchange for a happy Smart Man who is also my house husband. :-)

I seem to be slightly dyslexic today, as I read "Hawaiian cruise" as "Hawaiian curse." Of course, my brain's wandering into Brady territory.

Janiece, that means you'll get to meet Vincent Price. Awesome! Except for him being all dead and stuff.

Ooh, Zombie Vincent Price!

(Maybe I shouldn't have had that Earl Grey tea during lunch...)

Carol Elaine, meeting Zombie Vincent Price on our Hawaiian Curse would be the BEST VACATION EVAH.

Clock tower...excellent random reference!!

I spend a lot of the down time with my close, personal friend Jack...Daniels that is. Dr. Jack as my uncle calls him!

I've been the designated nice person to the difficult clients for my last several jobs.

I'm reading "Deadly Choices" on the same subject as "The Panic Virus". You might find it interesting, becuase Dr. Offit is a bit of a historian, and he lays out the characteristics of the 1880s anti-vaxxers side by side with the modern ones, and the thought processes are remarkably similar.

John, I'll put it on my list. Dr. Offit is Awesome with Awesome Sauce.
