Aphorism
You know that old saying, “Work smarter, not harder”?
You ever use it on someone and then wonder why they looked pissed?
You just told them that they’re working stupid.
I hate my boss.

Shorts, Part 2: Post-Postscript
I showed up for my appointed shift this morning at 9:00 am. The Senior Technician was already there. Her first response: “I was afraid of this.” We both looked at the schedule, and it was my name on from 9:00-4:00. Both she and the Head Pharmacist said that was an error. Senior Tech said, “Well…
I am not Monk
I retrieve the mail once a week, on Sundays. I may check more often if I’m expecting something important, or if the moon is in alignment with Uranus. I’ve proved that I am not obsessive-compulsive about the mail, but nobody’s listening. I doubt at this point the Prof would even remember the incident that pissed…
Clueless Wonder update.
Yup. He’s sick. Clueless just barfed spectacularly throughout the dining room of the apartment. Since he ate nothing this morning, this was last night’s dinner coming back. Confirmation of this took form of his completely intact Pounce treat in the middle of the barf. The Pounce treat that he got nearly nineteen hours ago with…

If I was reading this in any other personâs journal, Iâd suspect the veracity of the storyteller. At the very least Iâd wonder if the author was suffering Munchausenâs by proxy. Satanâs Little Fart Cloud was confirmed today to be diabetic. Weâve worried about this for the last year and a half because of the…

Things are like that because I choose to be self-sufficient. If I can’t do it on my own, then I have no business doing it. By mutual agreement we have our own bank accounts, pay our own bills, split mutual costs like mortgage and utilities down the middle, and otherwise maintain what is the individual’s…
The Saga of Smiley
She was found under a truck dock early on a wet Monday morning, amid the puddles and the gravel and litter that lay against the wall. It was 39° F out, and I could see my breath as I walked across the parking lot. The security guard who called me thought the kitten was dead….
I empathize. My "boss" is pretty darned stupid, too. Probably the worst part is her blatant hyprocracy. That one is REALLY hard to take in silence. She spouts off about how "wonderful" Trump is and all sorts of Republican rhetoric ALL THE TIME. Then she demands that the rest of us NEVER discuss politics AT ALL. She stopped me from even saying that I grew up in a bi-partisan household last week! Just a year ago her husband’s life was saved when he had half his kidney removed because it had malignant tumors. He was STILL in the hospital (on Medicaid’s dime) when she voted a straight Republican ticket, all the way from Trump on down. And boy-oh-boy was she happy when her Medicare kicked in! Hypocrites are the WORST!
