Airlines Suck

Poor Dad. I talked to him about 5:40 PM. I dropped him off at 3 and his plane was supposed to leave at 4:45. They were being told the plane might leave about 6:10. I haven't heard from him since. I hope he got to leave. Hanging around an airport is extremely boring.

Which Came First…

I heard the funniest joke on The Sports Zoo on the way home:
A chicken and an egg are laying next to each other in bed. The chicken is smoking a cigarette. The egg says, "Well, I guess that answers that age-old question."

My Boss Is Scrooge

I just got back from taking Dad to Denver International Airport. He's flying to L.A. to visit my sister for Christmas. I want to know one thing: Why does everybody slow to 10 miles BELOW the posted speed limit when they see an officer on the side of the road? The speed limit is 65, the officer is busy with some other schmuck, he's not coming after us, so DRIVE already! Going under the limit does not counteract the fact you were speeding mere moments ago.

Got my paycheck today and no bonus. I hope the owner is proud of himself, the damned scrooge. That was truly the last straw. I understand that he can't afford the same bonuses we were used to, but a little token would've been nice. Something to let us know our hard work is appreciated.

I am having the hardest time getting in the holiday spirit this year. Christmas is a little over 4 days away and I could truly care less. I finally got the tree into its stand on Monday and that's as far as I got. I'm taking tomorrow off from work so I hope to get the lights and ornaments on. I do need to come to town and do the last of my holiday shopping. I was really hoping to get that bonus to get some better gifts, but now I'll have to be more frugal. *sigh*

I'm writing on my dad's computer. I like our satellite conncection better than dial-up, but this cable connection rocks! Anyway, he lives across the street from Buckley Air Force Base. A jet just took off and Dad's cat, Sadie, just had a conniption. You would think that after all the years they've been here that she would be used to that by now. Hee

NORAD Santa Tracking

Here's a cool Christmasy site to check out: The Annual NORAD Tracks Santa Website.

Fox is going to be starting "That 80s Show" sometime soon here. I just saw a commercial for it, but missed the starting date. I can't wait. I already LOVE "That 70s Show." I was a little too young to fully appreciate the 70s, but alot of what is on that show rings a bell and cracks me up. Since the 80's were "my" decade (high school/college), I'm really looking forward to how they spoof it.

Get A New Job

Well, here's today's horoscope from my email inbox:



>> Your Daily Horoscope for December 17, 2001

Dear LaDonna,
You may find yourself getting more emotional than usual when it comes to jobs that you need to accomplish, LaDonna. Do your best to keep your work life and emotional life separated. If you are feeling overwhelmed by a certain job to the point where you can no longer do it effectively, it may be time to seek out a new form of work. This is a time of sensitivity towards work-related issues, so do your best to stay afloat.

Best wishes for today, from the astrologers of Astrocenter.com



Maybe now I'll get off my butt and find a new job. I'm definitely to the point where I could easily quit doing my job effectively.
