Under the Bus

Still employed! As was made obvious by my having the money to sustain my internet connection.

I have made a couple of brief forays into Ohio in the last three weeks or so: the youngest of my brood finally graduated High School, my soon-to-be-Housekeeper graduated College and my former-biatch got hitched. If I didn't see you on any of these return trips, my apologies. I'm back again the weekend of the 13th for yet another wedding. Then, the next week, I sign my own life away.

And I figure I better include this "above the fold" in an effort to retain readers. We've got another goddamn mouth to feed. His name is Cosmo... for now. The next time the watch-hands meet, it might be something else. Ask her.

There are no more kitten references in this post. I wonder if I'll still have your attention.

Work moves on. There's a phrase that always gets tossed around at the office you may of heard: "I got tossed under the bus". I've taken it to mean that you got screwed somehow. Well, the project I'm working on now has had a little bit of help from an outsourcing company overseas, and I've had the pleasure of pouring through some source code. Occasionally, comments in the code bear the name Kir.. Kare... eh, something like that. Well, his programming practices are baffling in a very Worse Than Failure kind of way. Well, I felt like he really threw me under the bus in as much as I am now responsible for tidying up his mess. Come to find out, he was hit by a bus about a month ago and killed. I laughed when I first heard, then I found out it was a no-shit sort of deal. Don't worry, I already called myself a dick.

My regular Thursday Frisbee game got rained out 3 minutes after I showed up. And now, because of this stupid 4th of July middle-of-the-week thing, it's likely there won't actually be enough people at work on Thursday to play. It was supposed to be my last available week until after the wedding.

I did however get pulled into a spontaneous bowling night Saturday night. I've never done one of those "Extreme Bowling" bowl-in-the-damn-dark things before and I must say it tripped my game out. But a good time was had by all.

OK. That's it for now. I need some interesting shit in my life if this is ever going to continue. Seriously.

Oh, and no, I didn't get an iPhone.
