Yes, that is exactly what I did. I hit a wild turkey in the road. And it rolled into the grass. It was on a steep curve, so I was going slow as it was. So I got out to see if it was in the road or if any damages were on my car and the damn thing got up and started chasing me. It was all puffed up like just ready to fight. I think I would too if I got hit by a car. I hopped back in my car and there it was all puffed out next to my door. I had to lay on the horn a few times for it to finally decide to take off. I was crying I was laughing so hard on my way to work.  Only me. | |

What a load of bs this is! The company basically gives me a breakdown of what they feel is compensated to the employee. It includes social security benefits(which comes out of my pocket), medicare (again which come out of my pockt), the average annual premium paid for medical, dental and life insurance divided by each member of the association (not truly my benefit), profit sharing which I give them partial credit for (losing money btw), 401K match contributions program and again partical credit for that (losing money), the holiday gift which is a $25 gift card to Jewel. The total compensation looks as if they compensate me for twice as much as my 2007 gross was. 
That's suppose to make me feel better or make my employer look better? | |

A 25 year old male boxer moved into the house behind us a week ago. And guess what? He put up a punching bag in the back yard. I am now enjoying the fresh air more than ever.  | |

Looking for daycare in my area has not been an easy task. There are a very limited number of sitters available and for some strange reason I got looked at cockeyed when I said my oldest was 8 (as if it's too old.) Second week now into daycare and I am finding the sitter's payment rules disagreeable. She requested at first, a deposit of $50. Ok, I can understand that. So I brought over a check. She says she only accepts cash for various accounting reasons, in which I argued her misunderstandings of cash because this is my area of expertise so to say. So, she took a check on this one time basis, and asked me to reread the rules she issued the week before. I did and did not find this on there. No big deal, right? End of week one, I bring payment to her. She claims that we agreed upon $5 a day more than what I paid her. After civilly arguing that point, we finally concluded that what I paid her was correct. There was a change in scheduling Monday, Wednesday and Thursday due to illness, so for this week she only watched the boys 2 days. I paid her for 2 days and get a phone call about requiring full payment without 2 weeks notice for a change in scheduling and that I need to refer to these rules again. I sent my other half over to pick up the boys and ask him for another set of rules, because mine were not agreed upon as such. She tells him that I wouldn't have this copy because it's been revised. Don't you think it should have been discussed prior? Now I need to find someone else.  I would have been the one to give her extra money just because, but she is definitely the one that abused the agreement. I even practically stocked her fridge the beginning of the week with extra goodies for ALL the kids, not just mine. I wish I lived closer to family. | |

Ha! Honestly all I did was make sure that the idiot who was suppose to take care of his duties did it. And the idiot accredits me for my due diligence. I think he's just trying to tell me nicely get off my back.
Here's the scoop. I work with an "officer" that thinks his poop doesn't stink. He spends more of his time trying to pa** off low end clients when he is NOT Mr. Big Shot. 8 out of 10 times we cross paths, we argue because he doesn't have "due diligence" as a part of his work ethic. So, he has a client he keeps trying to push off in my direction that has huge liability. Hell no! I didn't bring him on board in the first place. So I made him take some responsibility in very low tone manipulation of the situation and he thinks he's commending me by saying thanks for your due diligence.  He makes me so freaking mad some days. If anyone gives him a promotion, I'm going to go off the deep end. | |

| Just over two years ago, I came across a client that I just found drop dead cute. One of those cutes that you just get your tongue tied over and I did every time. I just always put it in the back of my head, it's just another meaningless hormonally charged attraction...you know the routine to bring your sanity back. Well our "family" friendships began to intertwine via mutual friends and our families all started to get to know one another. His family starts coming by my house for barbeques and vice versa. Well, he has since moved in with his fiance and in his moving has also changed the fact that he is my client because of location. Yet, he still finds a way to swing by my office periodically or call me on the phone with seemingly unending client issues. That's when I started to suspect that the cute thought was not only thought by me. Literally 15 minutes ago he called me on the phone and asked if I missed him. I said in my "client" personality, that it's just not the same without you around. He got really down and then said, "Oh, I see how it is. I was hoping for a different reaction." I was stunned speechless literally for a minute. I just went right back to discussing the client issue he initially called about. In all reality I would never have made any true advancements, I am not a disloyal person. I also never thought I would have felt as awkward as I did, let alone the fact that he said this to me. I feel really compelled to call him and ask if everything is alright, but another voice tells me to let it ride for a few days. I enjoy the flirtation and getting right up to the line, but I have never crossed it. This one's a little harder though because we have grown to know each other over the last two years. I was having a good day and now....it'll pass, it'll pass, it'll pass. | |

Quoted by anonymous source: I've come to see you as someone of brilliance. Makes me think in several tangents. How did this person come to that conclusion with very simple conversations, but even more importantly to me why did I not want it to be a compliment? Shouldn't people in general be striving for brilliance or above average intelligence. Why would I not want to strive to maintain a personna of above average intelligence?
Retrospective Thought:
Throughout elementary education, I was always in high honors, I was always in the "special" programs, I even attended summer school for gifted children (don't do that to your kids please). In high school I was on the sports teams, I participated in extracurricular programs and I even began college courses my junior year of high school. But I (big emphasis on this word of I), still never defined these accomplishments as brilliance. They were just average, above average things that I had done. And why did I decide not to do them anymore? I have several excuses, but it really wasn't the meat of my decision to leave them behind. Plain and simple, they became perpetually boring. I had a talent for art, and a beautiful talent at that...left behind. I had a talent for prose, especially for epic fiction...left behind. I had a talent for the crafts, anything but sewing, primarily bead work...left behind.
I will tell you though, the one thing that I have found above all else that has not fallen into the trap of perpetual boredom and my answer to brilliance....people. Each and every personality I come across allows me to delve into an untouched mind, philosophy and many times new perspective. Each one unique, each one..brilliant in it's own right. There is nothing perpetual about it. So, no, I am not above average to anyone else. I am no more brilliant than anyone else. It really is just a matter of what perspective we take and how we define brilliance. | |

Why did the skeleton cross the road?
-because he had no brains
Why didn't the second skeleton cross the road?
-he didn't have the heart
Why didn't the third skeleton cross the road?
-he didn't have the guts
Tell this joke to children between the ages of 5-8 and watch the giggle fest burst. My boys are just starting to understand the meat of a joke. They start to giggle madly and that, in effect, gets me going into a fit of laughter. And it really brightens my day to see everyone in such a good mood from this little laughter fest.
What really tickles your fancy? | |

| Why do I continuously find myself befriending someone who is not at all easy to get along with? Love 'em to death, have great times, but have the worst times too. Some kind of crazy emotional rollercoaster with a friend nonetheless. I just don't get why someone can't just agree to disagree. Opinions are just that, opinions. | |
