A Ray Of Freakin Sunshine

I haven't been feeling bloggy of late - But I thought I'd cheer you up with some bitching.

COLD -- I moved to the South for a reason! I HATE cold. Love the Midwest, but HATE the cold. I'm here because I love those blazing July days when your thighs blister on the leather seat. I like hot cars. I like the smell of hot asphalt. But it is COLD here. It is mid-MAY and COLD. Pffffffft!

CUSTOMER - I will not name. I will not implicate. You are only a small subset if big customer. But I HATE you. You are a very definite pain in my left butt cheek and you generate very little revenue. Please GO AWAY!

PEOPLE - It is JUST a meeting. One can't go on this night because of a family thing. One can't come back on this day because of another family thing. Oh - But this one can't drive at night. And customer only has 2 days open. And oh, one traveler dropped out. I planned ONE airport...But co-worker says other might prove cheaper. PLEASE. It is JUST a meeting.

PARKING LOTS - In Atlanta. Space is at a premium. So every retailer is determined to shove their money maker into a 2 inch spot. Which needs 9 acres of parking. But we can only give up 3 inches to parking. Because otherwise, we wouldn't be able to have the retailing. So, we end up with 2 inches of retailing and 3 parking spaces for such retail joint. And the parking lot just pisses you the hell OFF. "If I circle long enough? Eventually, someone will leave --- Or I'll decide McDonald's drive thru is fine."

MY CAT - OK. I like having a smart animal. But does she have to be THIS smart? She knows to plant her ass downstairs when I zoom upstairs to the bed to zip her up in the comforter and shove pills down her throat. She knows to stop hopping up on the bed on which i zip her up on the comforter. She knows to stop following me upstairs to the bedroom with the comforter. She knows to SPIT THE FREAKING PILLS OUT! And, finally, she knows to just stay the hell under the bed for the entire morning. Because no matter how much I chase her back and forth from side to side? She is always on the other side. And in control. So, today. I decided to change it to evening. I actually walked around the kitchen saying out loud?: "I'm going to walk around the kitchen acting like I'm NOT going to give you pills. THAT is what I'm going to do. HA!" A 41 year old adult outsmarting a 10 year old cat. There's an accomplishment for ya, folks. No WONDER she walks around here with that "GOTCHA" looking look on her face.
