I wish that bitch would suffer a horrible disease and disappear!!! Could we be so lucky?  :no:

Not an ice cubes chance in hell I am afraid.  :no:

It has been my experience that evil exists as long as it is fed. And she's having a personal banquet over there!  :rant:

A telephone is a remarkable tool. I find that I can use a normal level of voice and people can hear me. I wish other people realized that as well. :rolleyes:

The most dangerous phrase in the english language is; "Because we've always done it this way."

It exhibits the dangerous traits indicative of a closed mind, and inside the box thinking; both major contributors to the oppression of progress, and persecution of technology.

I get so frustrated by individuals that hold positions of authority within corporate Amerika, that base decisions on reactionary thinking rather than factual data and theory that clearly demonstrate that their path of attrition is one leading to an epic failure.  :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

If you always do the same thing over and over and get the same results, nothing will ever change!

  I so agree with you on this one. :yes:  The corporations are so set on the bottom line, profit beyond all.  :grinch: Plus they have convince the buying public that buying a cheap foreign products at the lowest price is the thing to do.   :o  Not only destroying American jobs, but  lowering the quality of the American products so they can compete with this foreign crap.  They the predatory capitalist bring to the shores of America in super large container ships.  Why do they do it, it is for profits.  :hogslop:  As Pogo said, "we have discovered the enemy and it is us".  All you have to do is look at the full parking lot and Walmart, filled with foreign cars.  :doh:

  In the congress we have the neanderthals who want to destroy the progress we have had for around 80 years and take us back to the 1800 where the rich robber barons ruled and there was no middle class, just the rich and the poor.   :rant:

  The Americans has be given a carrot which they continually chase, but the carrot is plastic and is made in China.  :puke:  With the voter restrictions and the Gerrymandering the Predatory Capitalist Republicans and the Neanderthals Right Wingnut Christians Republicans have set us up for the End Times.  Let us pray, :pray: :preach: :pope: Throwing our right leg over our right shoulder and our left leg over our left shoulder and kissing our ass goodbye.  :kiss:

A true Monday it has been. . .

1. Got up for work and along the way I turned on final approach to my destination, only to find the road barricaded with no notice posted until I got to the closure. This required me to turn around and go 3.5 miles out of my way to get to work. . 

2. One thing after another went wrong at work today, from parts coming in wrong to unscheduled reports and requests coming my way.

3. I arrived home to discover our dryer has stopped working. After some diagnostics I figure it is the heating element.

4. I go to the manufacturers web site and discover parts are available if you have the model number.

5. I spend over an hour wrestling with the damned thing and cannot find the model number.

6. In frustration I shove the damned thing back into place and figure I will have to call a service person.

7. As I stoop down to ensure the damn thing is on its base properly, I bump my fuggin head on the open door.

8. After cursing like a sailor in order to prevent myself from slamming the damned door shut, and rubbing my head to ease the pain, I calmly reach up to gently close the door from my stooping position.

9. It was at that exact moment that I spied the damned sticker on the top portion of the door-jamb, containing the model number. I ordered the heating element on line, which the instructions say is easy to replace via the removal of the front access panel. I reconned the front access panel, but thought better of actually trying to remove it today. (Best to await the arrival of better karma).

10. My wife and I run out for dinner, only to find the damned parking lot fenced off, and a detour sign up informing us the dining room is open and instructions to park on the opposite side. (We did)

11. We damned near got run over by a blue hair trying to negotiate the drive through. (This elicited a stream of verbal epitaphs from me, upon which my wife decided to comment, "take me home". I ignored this).

12. While dining we were subjected to the fine tones of a jackhammer being used to remove the brick facade of the wall outside, and watched as some ratty looking construction worker tried to drive the cherry picker he was on, 20 feet in the air, over the damned Bobcat parked right fucking next to him in the fenced zone. (This also elicited some smart, obscenity laced commentary from me, to which my wife replied, "You need to go home and go to bed".

13. I ignored that advice as well, however, I am currently giving it very strong consideration. This fucking day needs to be over with!

14. As I began getting my clothing out for tomorrow, I discover I have no clean underwear. Do I dare put my pants back on, get into the truck, and drive to Kohls to buy some more?

Fuck it. I'm going commando. I'll stop on the way home tomorrow to buy more underwear.

The part for the dryer gets here Friday.  :rant:
