This is beautiful. I'm going to cross-stitch this on a sampler and hang in over my desk at work.

Holy shit, why must my husband suddenly turn into Corporate Cell Phone Guy whenever he talks on his cell phone? The baby's trying to sleep, dammit. I'm about to go in there and stuff that thing down his throat. Lovingly, of course.

When I tell people that I'm too old to start a new career they say, "Look at Grandma Moses!" and I say, "She's dead now, right?"

If there are parts of a post you quoted that you're not actually replying to, especially including previously quoted posts... FUCKING DELETE THEM BEFORE YOU POST YOUR REPLY.
In fact, the more you can cut down the post you're quoting, the better. If you can get it to one or two sentences that will quickly remind people of the gist of the post you're responding to, that's fucking PERFECT.
GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

I've had plenty of punishment. Any more would be pointless.
Anyway, I think we've had enough of this tangent.

Lindsay Lohan goes to jail for what will amount to about 3 weeks. Her relatives are sobbing in the courtroom. Another relative is carrying a sign saying "Free Lindsay". Get a fucking grip, you fucking douchebags.
What's worse is that she will emerge in a few weeks proclaiming that she is a changed person and that life has more meaning now and I'm gonna hurl all over my morning paper I swear to fucking christ.

First of all I realize you don't have eyes in the back of your head I'm merely requesting that in the absence of vision you refrain from wild gestures with your umbrella. Not wanting to be smacked because you talk with your hands does not make me the bitch.
To the group of idiots on the escalator - stand on the right, walk on the left. It's not rocket science and even if it's not common practice to you, I would think that after the second person said "excuse me" and moved past you you might STOP moving back to the left side. It's rush hour and you're really lucky talky lady with the umbrella didn't get off at this stop because she would have smacked you silly by now.
Why yes it's been wonderful commute so far, thanks for asking.

But it's all just an excuse for rude, selfish behavior. "The rules don't apply to me because I'm special!
A few years back when I did security for a small university, one of the baseball players left his car in the middle of the (one way) road right in front of the building with their locker room in it. Completely blocking the road. One of the female security officers went over and told him to move it. He got in her face, yelled about how she had no authority over him, and retreated to the locker room where she could (or would) not follow. So I wandered over, walked into the locker room and tracked him down. Much different attitude toward me, but still refused to move car. My response; "Ok, no problem. I'll just have it towed" and walked out without arguing it.
I walked outside and called it in for dispatch to call the tow truck. The female officer wanted a little bit of comeupance on the guy, so she said that she would stay there and wait for the tow, while I moved on to other tasks.
I got about 200 yards away when the guy came flying out of the door and moved the car.
We still reported it to the head of the athletics department, and they had a little chat with the guy about 1> respecting the authority of the security officers, and 2> not blocking public streets while he was nowhere near his car. No issues with the guy the rest of the year.

God, I hate my health insurance.
It pretends to be a plan that covers in-network at 100% after I've met the (extremely high, mind you) deductible.
But actually, there's a maximum yearly cap on like, every form of on-going care out there. Therapy? Oh, 10 visits a year. Because everything can be solved in 10 visits. Chiropractic? $1000 per year max. And unless it's perhaps the cheapest chiropractor ever, that's what, 7 visits? Maybe?
I pay thousands of dollars out of pocket for the supposed privilege of having my medical care completely covered after I've done so. Why am I paying so much when you don't actually do so??
This doesn't even get into the fact that they fought me for over a year on a lousy $300 payout -- peanuts to them, but for me, especially at the time, a huge amount of money. And the end result? They finally acknowledged that they shouldn't lie and say it was variously "experimental" or something they didn't cover at all. (It was a light therapy box, not only extremely common therapy, but backed by research done by the fucking Mayo Clinic, among others.) So they covered it at fucking 10%. That's right, I got 30 bucks. On a policy that "covers at 100%."
Holy fuck, where's my healthcare reform? Please? I need it now!

My cat continues to pee over the side of her litter box. I don't think it's any kind of protest thing; she just has really terrible aim. She hangs her butt over the side of one of three boxes we have down there and just lets fly. She also never buries her crap (she scratches at the wall beside the boxes or just in the air or doesn't bother scratching at all). She is a "fail" at litter box.
Sorry I didn't see this sooner; just wanted to say, one of my boys has the same problem and I got a box with a cover. It works great at containing the "output". The top also has filters in it which help at containing the "fragrance". The ones I use are shown here; don't know what's available up in your country.

But, but, but if I'm not directly beside my companion(s) on escalators, stairs and sidewalks at all times, they might lose me, or worse, forget I'm with them!

I don't do the faxing; the clinic and the pharmacy do that between each other. I've called several times to both the pharmacy (who has also called the clinic) and the clinic, spoken to various employees who assured me they would take care of things, went to the clinic and was ignored for an hour, can't get an audience with the doctor, and am righteously pissed off at the moment.

Ah, another Microsoft rant. I know how you all love to hear people whining about their computers.
I updated today to patch the 16 or so no doubt serious security flaws that have been discovered since the last time I updated a month or so ago. Now my computer is nagging me to restart. Well, guess what, fucktard? I'm working. I was working 15 minutes ago when you nagged me to reboot, and I was working 30 minutes ago when you nagged me to reboot, and I was working the other 15 or so times you've popped up that annoying fucking dialog today.
Guess what? Reboot later means later . Not fifteen minutes later, but when-I'm-damned -good-and-ready-to-reboot-later Like when I don't have 15 windows and files open and set up just so, so I can retain context while i'm programming.
The shithead who wrote a "Remind me later" dialog without a "Shut the fuck up for at least four hours" button should be jabbed with red hot knitting needles every fifteen minutes.
Sheesh, let's make the update process as annoying and intrusive as possible, and then whine when no one updates their systems.

Hmm, interesting idea. I was thinking of putting "puppy pads" around the boxes to contain her urine.
Big news story - the useless, ineffective national "Do Not Call" registry for telemarketers in Canada found to be useless and ineffective. Damn, no one could have anticipated THAT, when they created the stupid, toothless law. I saw a comment today that I loved - someone suggested to put all Canadian phone numbers on the registry, and people could call in and ask to be put on the "Please Call" list if they want to be bothered at suppertime by autodiallers that may or may not pick up.

What's the difference between the Canadian and USA do not call registries? Because ours has worked wonders.
The only 'nuisance' calls we get are political ones in election season, and calls from charities like Big Brother and Disabled Vets looking to pick up donated household goods.
