Fade To Black

It's high time this crazy assed house got a new computer monitor. I'm in the middle of reading the news, poof, I'm blind. I see nothing but black. I go to blog so's I don't forget to do it before work and poof, my eyes must be closed because I got nothing.

I've been talking to the Captain about getting an LCD monitor. The monitor we have now came from my dad and I'm fairly certain he got it somewhere in the late 90's. It's huge, it takes up more space than my daughter. I need, no, I want a new monitor.

So I've been talking it up to the man. I have several points that I think make sense but let's face it: just because it makes sense to me doesn't mean it does to everyone else. It usually doesn't but I digress.

I have this old computer desk that I've had for 7 years maybe. It's survived 4 moves and it seems to be related to the Weeble family. There's also a glass topped long table next to the rickety desk that has my paperwork, books and other crap, er stuff, on it. It's not meant to have that kind of weight on it. I lighten it up all the time but good lord almighty, this shit comes outta no where and multiplies.

My genius plan (that's so subjective yes?) is to get a flat screen monitor, then get a narrow desk that would never hold the ancient monitor, get a 2 drawer filing cabinet and voila! Clean table that I won't break and my desk area looks clean. I can actually find paperwork in a traditional filing format instead of mine. Mine is "Don't touch those piles! I know exactly where that is! I DO!"

So, what should I, um I mean we, get? Any ideas? Suggestions? I need help people. I've told you that time and time again. This time, you can actually help me as opposed to those other times where you need a pharmaceutical license to help.

Thanks 4 readers of mine!

We got our new desk from office depot or was it office max, ugh, I have preggo brain. I know were its locatd so I can go with you if you want. Ours is pretty large and it was $85 or so, granted it was a major biatch to put together, in the end it was worth it, it is very nice. I am sure you could find something there! As far as monitors....talk to Kota he would know better than I :)

i dont really have any advice on the desk... other than i'm pretty sure target has some good shiat... and i know you know that also! ;)

my question is... will you REALLY use the files and keep the table clean?! i'ma go with NO. cause i just cleaned my room and it took me like 2 weeks... yet in a day i am back to my old "way of storing and sorting". its just easier to be messy.

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...

Um What?

Why does he feel the need to do this? He sleeps with his hand in his pull up. He pulls his penis out during the day to show me. Here I thought it went to Penis Playgroup. How did Peanut know, before even touching the icicle that it would be cool and warranted the face of pure happiness? Oh how she was distraught when it was taken away. I think she was really just pissed off because Monkey Boy took it and broke it into 12 pieces and that was the end of Fun With Sharp Frozen Things. *** I'm so irked at the whole T.O. thing in Dallas. I wish Jerry Jones would just stick his head further up his ass. *** When you stub your toe and the next day it looks like your 3yr old colored your foot with black, blue and purple markers, you probably broke it. *** It doesn't feel good when said 3yr old stomps on said foot during one of appx 14 meltdowns - this morning. *** Trying to rearrange a bedroom that 2 kids and an adult share while all those people are in there? Not such a good idea. *** ...
