My favorite saying:

Shared pain is lessened Shared joy is multiplied

 
One more day till Friday!

You know, when you're on a diet, you see things you normally wouldn't see.
Take today for example.
I walk into the cafeteria to put away something, and there's a box full of wrapped "Honey Buns" on the table, free from the vending people as they'll expire in a few days.
You can imagine how pissed off I was.. *chuckling*

Oh, I called the college yesterday, told her how disappointed I was at the cancellation, and to make a long story short, they're going to try to find another instructor and have the class again! I hope they do.

I love when people (read: bigwigs) don't read their email.
I had a request recently from the grand poobah of this facility if I had an extra network printer. I replied in email, that yes, indeed I had one I could drop off this week.
Yesterday, I sent her the serial # to make sure the asset was moved from point A to point B, and she replied "I thought we had to buy one! I just dropped the paperwork off to finance to buy one!"
To which, I resent the original email explaining I had said I had one.
Another example of someone pissing away the State's money.

I went to a "Pizza & Beer" party for a club I belong to last night, and really behaved. Drank diet soda (ok, had a half a glass of beer), and a lot less pizza than I normally would have had.

Some personal audio tapes of Princess Diana are coming to light now, and after reading some excerpts of them, I'm stunned at what a 'sacraficial lamb" she was to the royal family.

Lionel Richie's wife is suing for divorce, and asking for $300,000/month. She says she spends $15,000/month in clothing!!! $3,000 for "dermatology"?? $1,000 for laser hair removal? Give the lady a BIC and tell her to buzz off!
The article goes on to say: "each month she spends $600 on hair, $250 on nails, $150 on electrolysis, $450 on facials, $500 for her trainer and $600 each on Pilates, massages, and therapy. "
I'm confused, isn't eloctrolysis the same as hair removal??
There's MORE!
Diane Richie also lists yearly expenses of $20,000 for plastic surgery and $125,000 for tuition at her 9-year-old son's Colorado boarding school, which she says she tries to visit at least once a month -- at a cost of between $15,000 and $20,000
$20,000/year for Plastic Surgery??? She can only see her 9 year old son once a month???

I want to go to Bike Week this year!!!

Ok.... this one defies description! *L*

And just to prove there are some incredible idiots in this world, I offer proof!

Till the next wave....
