Slap Your Co-Worker Day

I received an email today from, oddly enough, a co-worker that initally I took as a warning.

Tomorrow is the official Slap Your Irritating Co-workers Holiday:

Do you have a co-worker who talks nonstop about nothing, working your last nerve with tedious and boring details that you don’t give a flip about? Do you have a co-worker who ALWAYS screws up stuff creating MORE work for you? Do you have a co-worker who kisses so much booty, you can look in their mouth and see what your boss had for lunch? Do you have a co-worker who is SOOO obnoxious, when he/she enters a room, everyone else clears it? Well, on behalf of Ike Turner, I am so very very glad to officially announce tomorrow as SLAP YOUR IRRITATING CO-WORKER DAY! These are the rules you must follow:

* You can only slap one person per hour – no more.
* You can slap the same person again if they irritate you again in the same day.
* You are allowed to hold someone down as other co-workers take their turns slapping the irritant.
* No weapons are allowed…other than going upside somebody’s head with a stapler or a hole-puncher.
* After you have slapped the recipient, your”assault” must be followed with something like “cause I’m sick of your empty brain always messing up stuff!”

* If questioned by a supervisor or police, (if the supervisor is the irritant), you are allowed to LIE, LIE, LIE! Now, study the rules, break out your list of folks that you want to slap the living day lights out of and get to slapping….and have a GREAT DAY!

Apparently, this was not a warning but just a friendly reminder to warm up my “pimp hand” for tomorrow. Am I that transparent?

Three Days Since I Hit Full-On Blah Mode

A few weeks ago I had been in the mood to blog blog blog and post post post but the last 3 days not so much. The problem? Not really sure but I have a few ideas. I have been very not interested in much of anything lately except being home with the wife. I haven’t seen/read much on the internet. I breezed through most of the blogs I generally read voraciously. I have felt like I was neglecting my blog and wanted to write but just didn’t really give a crap.

Maybe it’s because the holiday season is upon us. This time of year really stresses people and I am no different. It should be a happy time but it bums me for no apparent reason. Luckily, The School Girl and my very good friends (you know who you are) keep me sane.

Maybe it is the weather. I hate the cold. Winter really blows and I hate to be chilled. Naturally I am an overly warm person and when the cold is just too cold it ticks me off. It doesn’t help that the old house is super drafty either.

Maybe it is my health. I am not actually sick really but I got that flu shot the other day and have started feeling a bit run-down. I am sure that it’s all in my head.

Maybe it is lots of stuff. I guess it is just that time of year that lots of people hit that wall and feel blah. It may be time to hide in that cocoon and ride the winter wave and hope for an early spring. Whatever it is has me in a funk that I think I may be thinking of shaking off way faster than normal. Keep your fingers crossed.

As long as I keep on pumping out these rambling posts I am sure that I will be fine. I think maybe someone should buy me a beer and we can laugh these blues away and possibly beat up Old Man Winter.

Thanks for listening, err, reading, err, whatever.
