And Yet, I Am Always Shocked

Do you ever find yourself asleep at the computer? I knew it!!! I knew I wasn't the only one! I also knew I could fall asleep pretty much anywhere but I had no idea how far reaching those capabilities were until the last couple years.

(That may not be an entirely accurate statement since about ten years or so ago, I fell asleep in the middle of a rock band showcase concert including none other than Nickleback. Of course this is pre "let's sing pretty much the same song over and over and not cut our hair, ooh and let's fool radio stations into playing this crap we call music ad nauseum" Nickleback. I am assuming they were good? Maybe. Couldn't tell ya, I was asleep. In my defense, my mother's dog, her second child*, had passed away the day before and I was at my parents' place being there for my mother and therefore, was pooped. ANYWAY! Fell asleep, concert.)

I cannot even begin to tally the times I've woken up at the computer desk, sitting upright, drool on my chin. Just joking.

No I'm not.

I would be ok with this falling asleep sitting up thing except? The impulsive snapping the head up part. I could probably recover from the sore neck if I would just not break it when I wake up. Amazingly, this going nocturnal at the desk does not wreck my back. Of course, this is coming from a person who has been known to sleep on her stomach in a recliner. Just think about that one. Ready? K.

I've got a dilemma that really isn't a dilemma. I just like that word at the moment. Look at it. Dilemma. Looks pretty. Reminds me of Brian DePalma (loved Scarface but dude? Bonfire? C'mon, that was crap and you made it cause you were bored right?). I just aged myself. Geek alert!!!!!!

Right.

So.

I have approximately 9 1/2 loads of laundry on my bed. No worries, it's all clean. It's all UNfolded. Yep. I took it out of the dryer and threw it on the bed, moved on to the next load, lather, rinse, repeat. So? Do I take the time to fold all of said clean (thank god it's clean) laundry? Or? Do I curl up my chair** and fall asleep Facebooking or Farming? Hmph, either way, that damn laundry ain't gonna fold itself.

Barnacles!

*if the dog could speak? she would have given it anything it wanted before me. the one she actually birthed.
**the chair in question is this style but more of a country plaid pattern (just close your eyes and picture it already!!) I can (and have several times) curled up with my butt sticking out and slept to my heart's content (or until one of the heathens wakes me up which is usually the case. Dammit!).
You can see the dilemma right? Thought so.

DOODLEBOPS UNMASKED - ALL THREE

Please do not ask me to email photos out, I get entirely too many requests for them. These are the ones that I have at home, thanks to a couple of sources.

Customer Appreciation Day

Dear Crotchety Broad, While I love my job and think it's the easiest one in the world to have, I do not think dealing with your ass was easy. Here are some highlights from my fabulous time with you: When your cashier is ringing up your precious produce, putting the codes in (from memory thank you very much), don't start trash talking her. I didn't hear you ask if I needed help because, well, um, I was busy ringing your shit up. When I look up because I heard something , don't look at me and say, " HELLO??" all sarcastic and shit. I will squish your tomatos, avocados and bread. When I ask if you have coupons, that's generally a sign that I am not a mind reader, can't see in your purse and can't predict the future (contrary to what you may think dear customer). As a refresher, here's our coversation: Loverly Cashier: Did you have any coupons today ma'am? (and that ma'am part may or may not have been choked out of my throat) Crotchety Broa...

She Was Heartbroken

After reading about Kim and Reggie breaking up, the Monkey had a moment of silence to reflect on the love that is no longer there. And then she ate part of the page. Fiber! She needs fiber ya know! She wasn't as into the Saved By The Bell article like her favorite Auntie was (ahem) but she did kiss Zack Morris. No lie. Puckered right on up and layed one on him. He hasn't been the same since.
