Where in the blue hell did this month go? Geez Louise....This has been one of those week's at work where the Big Kahuna has been getting his money's worth out of me.
(There are those RARE weeks, ya know) Tons of shit on my desk, and it may take me the whole day tomorrow to find the top of the desk. Lots of wackjobs too.
I mean more than usual. Great story from the office the other day that I know you'll enjoy (otherwise you wouldn't be reading this freakin thing).
It seems that the lovely former Mrs Me # 1 approached a member of management and advised them that she needed to leave for home immediately. What follows is an approximate transcript of what I am told was said:
"I have to go...my husband fell at home and said he needs me." former Mrs Me #1
"What...he's 'fallen and he can't get up?' member of management
"No, I'm serious....he says he's really hurt."
"Well why doesn't he call 911?"
"I dunno. He said he wants me to come home and help him."
"Why don't you bring Jeff home with you to help?"
Dead silence.
"I'm sorry, that was sort of mean, wasn't it?"
(RIMSHOT!)
SPORTS ALERT SPORTS ALERT
Well, my beloved Cubs are currently doing everything in their power to blow the wildcard spot in the National League. They have lost (no lie--look it up) 3 games in the last week with two outs in the 9th inning. That's some impressive choking, anyway you look at it. I don't wanna say the relief pitching as been bad....but that giant sucking sound you hear will hopefully be the majority of the Cubs bullpen exiting via OHare airport after the season is over. UGH.
Big game in South Bend this weekend. Heck, HUGE game in South Bend. This should really be the game that let's us know if the Irish are a real good team or just another collection of underachievers. Their facing Purdue, who has a real good offense with a future NFL QB behind center....should be a tough game....but look it up....Purdue has not beaten the Irish in South Bend....no lie.....since 1974. My call:
Notre Dame--28 Purdue--24
Back to the real world...I'd like to give a special shout out to my buddy Steve and his wife (and my former sister-in-law.....AAAAAAHHHH!!!!) Colleen. Why?
Well....the other evening I was giving old Colleen a call...and we had a conversation something along these lines...
"Hey there....wanted to give you a call about some stuff coming up."
"Well Steven isn't here."
"I know...I was calling you. He always forgets shit."
"Tell me about it...did he give you our news?"
"News?"
"Well....let's just say that I could come to a Halloween party dressed as a pregnant woman this year."
"Excuse me?"
"Yep."
"You mean.....he slipped one past the goalie?"
"Yep....I went to the doctor for something TOTALLY different and all of a sudden I'm being told that I'm gonna have a baby!"
YIKES! 16 years between kids for Colleen, soon to be the "former" lean, mean one. So much for their retirement plans. Congrats you crazy kids.
Later,
Jeff
