The last time we played, he got a triple word score for 'queefmonger' but it's not even in the dicti

You know what's funny? With all this talk of the blackout and everything, I decided to do a little research on Power Grids. In the US, there's the Eastern US Power Grid, the Western US power grid and....Texas. That's it.

I realize we want to be an indepentent nation, but we have our very own, very centralized power grid? Wow. Next thing you'll know we'll start claiming all that land from Wyoming and Mexico we sold.

In other news - AMY! I'm going to your wedding. What's a good place to spend a week around there? :)

In MORE other news - JENNI! I will be in San Antonio on Monday. Plans! NOW!

In COMIC news - Only Abaddon's "Reveal" has generated more EMail than last week's CS gag. Man, I'm glad that came out so well...I was so worried it wouldn't. You shoulda seen me trying to draw that at work, too, hoping no one saw me drawing up the VERY EASY TO MISUNDERSTAND panels.

In CAFFIENE news - I bought a jug of tea for Dean. he liked the antique looking plastic jug, which I inadvertently melted. I drank an entire gallon over the course of a day and a half in order to clean out the jug. AND I'm out of blood pressure medication. I feel the vibrations of the earth, I see the rails of air. I AM CAFFIENE! (In related news, I'm SO burned out on caffiene. Bleh!)

In FINAL news: Thank you to everyone who gave me their thoughts and love on my decision. It meant a lot to me, and had me think about it a good deal more.

We are go for countdown. ::hug::

Ever see Pink Flamingoes? Don't.

In FORGETTEN news (and boy do I wish I'd forgotten it), don't EVER EVER wat at Kentucky Fried Chicken. Last night as the first bite of my dinner, I bit into something so horrible tasting (and a few seconds later, fouler smelling) than I've ever let pass through my lips.

It was so bad, that I threw away the rest of my dinner sight unseen. IT was BAD. Horrible. Stomach churning. Gag inducing. When I turned around to complain, they had closed. Rather than have that abomination in my truck, I threw it out at the nearest dumpster.

I can only imagine what the hell that was in my dinner, but I'd rather not. No more KFC for me, ever.

I'd always thought their chicken tasted underdone...but this was disgusting.

CALL OF THE DAY!

Customer called in yesterday with a memory problem. All the Troublshooting was all set up, but the customer didn't have the address she needed for service. This was Friday at 10 AM. Sure, set it up before 4PM, we'll get that part shipped out to you, and the service will be done Monday.

She calls back at 7PM on Saturday. I setup her dispatch useing the previouis notes, no problem. I then tell her the part will be out on Tuesday. She does an audio doubletake and says, "I need it Monday."

INNOCENT LITTLE ME:"Well, shipments set up on the weekend don't get shipped until Monday, the tech will have your memory in his hands on Tuesday and call you to find out when you want it installed."

HER:"I need it Monday."

ME: "Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do to speed this up, the part simply isn't shipped until Monday."

HER: "Well, I need to speak to a manager, then."

ME: "Unfortunately, it's 6PM on a weekend, there's no manager you'll be able to speak with until Monday at 8AM Central."

HER: "Do you have a press department? Because after the press release I'm going to send out, you're going to need it!"

ME: "I don't know the extension offhand, however, they're also likely to be out for the weekend. Either way, you won't be able to speak with anyone until 8AM on Monday."

HER: "Alright, but I warned you!"

She then hung up. I'm sure that CNN, ABC, CBS and FOX will be happy to print her press relaese right up there with Power Outage news, Iraq reports and maybe will even drop the weather segment of her newspaper to rpint this report.
