YAM: The Controversial Survey

I think this might need to be called "The Brain Damaged Survey". Yes, there are some controversial issues here. But the questions read like they might have been written by a bunch of crack-smoking brain-damaged chipmunks.

And that's probably an insult to crack-smoking brain-damaged chipmunks.

Anyway, to prevent damage to fragile minds, here is is behind a cut.

(not that anyone on my list has a fragile mind, but I don't intend to lock this, either.)

Afternoon updates!

Well now. Welcome to Tuesday.

I trust you have all recovered sufficiently from the horrors of the beginning of the work week. I know I have, even though I put in 10 hrs yesterday, it was worth it, since I have to leave work early on Friday.

So. Here I am, and here you are, and I suppose I should get around to the update, eh? Because I'm fairly sure you don't want me to just babble on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on...

::SLAP!:: Stopthat!

Sorry.

Anyway, on with the show! Once again, in convenient bullet point format!

• Administrivia: Welcome to new readers stevietee and thesummerdiva! Pull up a chair, pour yerself a drink, and take a load off! Hope I don't bore you! If you want to know more, check out this post.
  
• Me: Doing well, as usual. Not much stress, no major health issues. Yeah, I'm crossing me fingers and thanking the lucky stars.
  
• The Family: Also doing well. mousecat0 is still at the same temp job. Based on what the person she's replacing said, she'll be there for another 3-4 weeks. Then, time for the temp co to find another gig.
  
• The weekend: Saturday morning, B. & I ran some errands, then the afternoon was spent putting the ceiling fan back up in the ceiling. That went very well. It won't be coming down anytime soon. The evening was spent with Freschetta "Pizza" and Heroes season one disc 1. Sunday we went up to stoooooooo & ginabeth's for football, food, and fun. Good weekend.
  
• Work: Found out today that one of our DBAs has put in her notice. This moves me up to #11 on the longevity chart. On the plus side, one of the most intelligent and technically savvy men I have ever had the privilege to work with is coming back to the contract. Any chance to learn more from him is welcome.
  
• Iggles vs. Steelers: While I am thrilled that my beloved Philly Eagles won, it was getting a little painful to watch towards the end. "Big Ben" is likely the "Big Bruise" after the pounding the Eagles Defense gave him. Hopefully, the coaching staff will be smart and rest Brian Westbrook this week - I'd rather have him rest and not play for one game than play and make it worse. Time to kick some Bears ass!
  
• Holidaze: Turns out things are gonna be a little different this year. Apparently, my mother-in-law doesn't wanna spend Christmas out here. I can't say I blame her; for those who weren't around last year, my father-in-law died on Dec. 16, 2007. First Christmas without him, and he passed right before it. She's going out to California to spend the holiday with her twin. My plan/goal is to take off from Dec. 24 - Jan 4; I'll have the vacation time. We shall see what happens. And yes, we will be hosting the Annual New Years Eve/Day Open House. Details on that as the time draws nearer.
  
• This weekend has me doing some minor plumbing work, possibly going to visit people Sat night, and most likely doing football at stoooooooo & ginabeth's on Sunday.
  
• Finally got to watch the first two episodes of Fringe. Freakin' wow! I love it. mousecat0 likes it - just a bit too icky in parts for her. Looking forward to this Tuesday night offering.
  
• It will be mine!: Peanuts Holiday Collection (Deluxe Edition). As in, it should be there when I get home today. GLEE!

And that, ladies and gents, is that.

Remember, you woke up on the proper side of the grass this morning. By definition, that makes it a good day.

Peas. Out.
