I assign to Mordor the sick, twisted, evil freaks who post deeply unpleasant links on your blog comments and do not even have the guts to sign themselves - which tells me how full of malice they really are. May they burn slowly in some especially viscous lava...
![]() *note - and don't go looking for said links, for as soon as I spotted them they were gone. Ha. ![]()

Mice
They are distinctly unwelcome in my world, in my dorm, most specifically in my room. I'm controlling my phobic desire to bleach everything I own and move out, but the little monster is wandering. I saw him a couple minutes ago, crawling out from under my bed with his toxic little tail slithering behind him, but then he disappeared under my room mate's desk. It's not cool that I'm paranoid to turn off my light. My day tomorrow starts at 8:00 and doesn't end until somewhere around midnight. I need sleep!

Unreliable people and waking two hours too early in vain.

I assign nepotistic bosses. Bosses who although require regular employees to have at least two years experience in their field, be trained in their field (with at least a bachelor's degree) and go through a lengthy interviewing process, but hire their children whose only qualification is the correct genetic material (In their opinion).
Not that I'm speaking from first hand knowledge of course.

![]() We have mice in our office. I send mouse poison to Mordor because it's nasty. Humane traps and/or cats are far better.

My suitemates convinced me that putting out poison isn't killing them, it's encouraging natural selection; if they're dumb enough to eat poison, they don't really deserve to live. But what actually worked was a high-frequency sound thingy that plugged into my wall. Quite frankly, I'd have preferred a cat.

The problem with poison is they eat it, die and then rot somewhere, which causes a right pong! At least if a cat gets a mouse it kills it in one fell swoop, well mine did anyway...and then batted it around wondering why it didn't want to play.
Mind you I felt quite sorry for the poor little thing when it was dead. I suppose the same fear for me would be induced by beetles and cockroaches - eyuw! ![]()

A great biking experience gone awry.
One of the first days above 50 (F) in Michigan, so I get out the bike and go for a nice ride. First major intersection I want to go through (think American traffic directions now), one car wants to turn left onto the street I'm coming out of (still moving mind you) so I decided to turn left myself since she has to wait for oncoming traffic; but there's a car coming from the opposite direction that wants to turn RIGHT onto my street, so I brake and put my foot down, the momentum and braking combination of which, upon impact, throws my left hip out of wherever it's supposed to be at all times. "Ooooghh.... yowtch". Well, I'm not going to let that stop me. I continue for a 3 mile bike ride to the nearest branch of our financial institution, and get a rear flat tire there. Well, at least I'm here at the credit union so I walk my bike to the ATM and get ready to deposit the check .... which my wife has forgotten to sign. Ahem. Well. This is been a completely worthless endeavor. Yay. So I walk my bike back three miles to home, again giving serious consideration to the benefits of the hated mobile phone. And have my wife sign the check. She is not in the least sympathetic, having worked a full 8 hours and not in the mood to apologize. The nerve. Hip's still giving me problems. Grrrr. |
