Happy
Friday, fuckers!
I
know that I’ve complained before about being bored at work when the boss man is
off on a fancy vacation, but damn….today we aren’t even running an administrative
skeleton crew. Like, comparing this shit to a skeleton, there would be one
bone. I guess the most important bone would be spine, right? So yeah, we’re
running a backbone crew, and guess who gets to be that most important bone
today?
Really,
the whole Evergreen Building is vacant right now because of a big meeting, and
those who didn’t have to go to that meeting took the day off because they are
stripping and waxing the floors. So, here I am, barricaded in by lobby chairs,
all by myself…and the damn shit they are using on the floor smells straight up
like a perm! I guess the upside of that is the threat of asphyxiation gave me a
good reason to shut the air off and open up all the windows…gotta look at the
bright side…I almost feel like I’m outside enjoying the day. :)
But,
it’s only 10:00 am….and I’m just about over it already. At this rate, it’s
gonna be a long ass day. I hate sitting around not doing anything when there
are tons of other things I could be doing. Like, for instance, finishing my
fancy fenced in pool porch, so I can fill up my fancy blow up chillen pool, so
I can chill in the water, drink beers, catch a tan and avoid people. (Not all
people, just the stupid ones.) However, one must learn patience…and I’m
trying real hard. I just gotta wait a little bit longer than I care to wait. 4:00
pm just seems so far away….
Also,
in other awesome news from the Crow’s Nest…y’all ain't gonna believe this shit
but I swear it’s true….THE SINK IN THE LITTLE BATHROOM FUCKING WORKS! Ha! Only
took 3 years to get that shit accomplished! We won’t discuss that, but we can
sure wash our damn hands up in that bitch now! Pays to know the right people, or
so I’m told. Such a sweet, sweet victory!
And
meanwhile, across the yard…there used to be an area that we always mowed
around, that was all grown up and trashy lookin’. Honestly, I just mowed around
it because whoever mowed the yard before I bought the place mowed around it.
Didn’t know why and I never investigated, I just assumed there was good reason behind it.
You know what they say when you assume though, right? smdh. Anyhow, went all
hard ass in the weeds a couple weeks ago, and we discovered that the only thing
in that whole big mess of overgrown shit that one would need to mow around, that
whole big mess of overgrown shit that was about 10’ long and 4’ wide….was a
damn creek rock, and a small piece of wood. And, I’m so not kiddin’….you can’t
make this shit up. Been mowing around dumb shit for 2 years. What the fuck?
But,
in that spot where the mower never went, I now have a superb little garden. It’s
my first garden. And being the selfish asshole that I am, I’m only growing the
shit that I like. Peppers, cucumbers & corn. Or, as the signs I painted for
my superb garden say, “pepperz, cukumberz, & kernz”. Don’t know the first
thing about a garden, but I figure if I water it, keep the critters out, and
chop the weeds out periodically….it might work out. I haven’t killed anything
thus far, so I’m gonna stick with that plan.
Just celebrated Loki Joe’s 2nd birthday last weekend. That dog is
rotten to the core, and then some. He ain’t worth a damn dime - I guess that
means he’s priceless. :)
Anyhow, the blue eyed boxer took a birthday trip to the Rural King with me, and
got a new leash, new tennis balls, a big ol’ bag of pig ears and lots of love
from the other Rural King patrons. Then we cooked his ass a big ol’ steak on
the grill, and he loved every minute of it. He’s such a turd, but I love his white
ass. :) I don’t
want him to get any older though, it seems like the 13 years I had with Diesel
Ray flew by, and the years are doing the same with Loki and Slim. I can’t even
cope.
I’ve
booked myself completely up tomorrow - with an event called “not doing shit”
that lasts all day. I plan to drink beers (maybe margaritas?) in my fancy blow up
chillen pool, on the fancy fenced-in pool porch, while the puppies run wild in the yard. If y’all need me tomorrow,
that’s where you will find me….but no, I’m not doing anything for you. No, I’m
not leaving the house. And no, I’m not putting my puppies up so you can come
over with your children. No, no, and no. Tomorrow, I plan to enjoy the effort I put forth every day,
and by enjoy - I mean don’t come at me with no bullshit. Try me
Sunday, if you must. :)
And
before I go, I just want to put it out there again that a co-worker of mine
tragically lost her baby boy, Emmett, yesterday. He was 8 months old. It really bothers me when bad things
happen to good people, life just shouldn’t work that way. However, it does and
we must endure it because we can't change it. This girl is as sweet as she can possibly be, and I hate that she is
living this nightmare right now. Her best friend wrote what is below on the gofundme page
that they have set up for her. Please read it, and help her if you can via the link at the bottom. She needs all the support she can get, and the last thing she should have to think about right now is money. Be the good in the world people, because
one day it might be you. Tomorrow isn’t promised to any of us, and that’s a
true story.
“I am not exactly sure what to say, but today my best friend lost her precious baby boy. This is a very difficult time for her and she needs all the help she can possibly get, emotionally and financially. Sarah is the strongest person I have ever known to walk this earth and she does anything and everything she can for her children, family, and friends. All I am asking is that you please, please donate anything you can to her in this time of need. Even if it's only a dollar anything will help her. She isn't going to be able to work for a while and bills still have to get paid as well as the funeral expenses and she has a 3 year old daughter. There are countless people out there that love and care for her and know what a great person and mother she is. Not that anyone ever deserves something so horrific to happen to them, but it is the absolute worst that she has to be the one living this nightmare. I wish that I could take all of her pain away but there's only so much we can say or do for her at this time. But I want to make damn sure the last thing she's going to have on her mind is money. Please share this, spread the word, make private donations directly to her if that makes you feel more comfortable. Anything in the world will help. Thank you so much. We need to give this sweet baby boy a beautiful service and celebration of his life. He was too pure and the world just wasn't ready for him.” - Jessica Crain
