ok wife made dinner
or, as someone such as myself might call it, the crap I'm having tomorrow on my lunch break that I didn't care for last night
or something along those lines.
I got all excited, she said she was making mac and cheese.
She lied.
She made some sort of pasta or shell and goop stuff.

[Silicon] regarding the lunch blog post...
Geez, everyone is a critic.
The guy at work asked me about it, as well.
I told him the wife is on a cold streak.
She can cook well, but lately she is making McDonald's look like gourmet.
I don't know what her deal is, but I'll ask her and we'll go from there.
But, usually my asking is something like "Do I make enough money to buy groceries?" to which she replies "No, not really."
From there it becomes something like me telling her to start to cook or else I'm going to eat on the way home.
and, she usually starts making better stuff.

then later:
I've never wanted to hang up on a group of callers as I have the recent three.
"My boss said his Blackberry doesn't work and wants me to call so you can fix it." -- Umm, what's wrong with it? "I don't know, he said it doesn't work right."
Guy calls, sounds like he is calling from metal shop, and I tell him I can't hear him.
Another guy calls, tells me his account is locked then proceeds to read the EPHD one time numbers off to me. He rattles off 20 or more before I can stop him.

I sent this to a co-worker earlier:
Every day I die a little bit more:
Today I've had the following calls:
"When I cable my Blackberry up to my computer, it says device connected. Why is that?"
I'm on the order page to order a Blackberry, do I need to fill out the form if I want to order a Blackberry?"
"My mouse doesn't work."
I'm dying here.

I made a comment out loud that someone was getting lucky tonight.
One of my daughters asked who.
I said "Me!"
The daughter asked why I was getting lucky.
I said "I get to sleep with mommy tonight!"
My daughter said "That's not lucky, you get to do that every night!" and was disappointed that it wasn't something cool.

I just got back from Wal-Mart.
We've got culture there.
Southern culture...
...on the skids...
You ever feel bad about yourself, go to Wal-Mart.
Someone there is worse off than you.
Guaranteed.
If you're a dyslexic, anorexic, one-eyed ex-Gestapo amputee, they've got an albino, dyslexic, anorexic, one-eyed ex-Gestapo amputee somewhere in the store.
If you're obese, they've got someone there twice your size carrying around a Big Gulp and the economy 55 lb. drum of dorito chips.

So the twins got their report cards for the first time for first grade today.
They brought them home, we looked them over.
My wife and I decided that as a treat we would take them out to dinner because they did so well on them.
One girl is doing well in math, the other with reading.
In any case, we told them we'd go out and they could pick.
So, the two conferenced with their younger sister and picked McDonald's as the restaurant of choice.
I told my wife we're not helping them with their homework any more.

The wife and kids are going to her parents tomorrow for the rest of the week.
The wife decided to cook and leave me some food so my mom wouldn't give her a hard time.
I pointed out to my wife that leaving stuff for me to eat implied it was edible in the first place.
This did not sit well with her.
Her lasagna didn't sit well with me, either.
She was like "It'll be better after it sits."
I'm thinking, it'll be gone after you're gone.
The dog is lucky, she is going with them and won't have to survive on the lasagna while "mommy" is gone.
My wife was like "I'm leaving food for you while we're gone." and I was like "Taco Bell?"
She told me I couldn't go out while they were gone.
Party at my place while they are gone.
Be sure to bring food, though.

Yo!
So, my mom sent me e-mail. She wants to make sure I don't starve while the wife is out of town.
My mom isn't much of a cook, though.
She thinks fabric softener is an ingredient in meatloaf.
I think she gave me food poisoning twice while I was living with her, but lost count.
Well, I don't think she gave it to me so much as made it available.

My wife lost out, all the other womenz got together and said "Look, someone has to marry him. We got together and picked you. So, you take him out of the loop and we'll make it up to you later."
She's still waiting.
She checks her e-mail, the mailbox and phone all the time.
She calls them, they don't call her back.

It's customer awareness week, or maybe customer service week or some such nonsense.
Monday was red and purple day.
Today was hawaiian shirt day.
Tomorrow is cowboy day.
Thursday is hillbilly day and Friday is red shirt day.
Tomorrow I'm just going to walk around going "I can't quit you, [yournamehere]" to people since I don't have a cowboy outfit.
I asked if one of the days was "take a call, do a shot" day.
They sent me back to talk to HR.
