Somebody give me some good news please.
Or a joke. Or something.

Today was an extremely crappy day, and tomorrow isn't shaping up to be any better. Hell, I just might end up getting fired because the paper towels in my lab ran out on a day I wasn't even at work, so I could really use a morale boost.

1. Tony Levin has rejoined King Crimson!
Also, I've got a good joke about daquiris (or however it's spelled) if you haven't heard it.

4. Smile
There's a knock at the door. A guy opens the door and there is a snail on the front porch. The guy picks the snail up and throws it as far as he can. Three years later, another knock on the door. The guy opens the door. The snail is on the porch and says, "what was that all about?"

At last count, THERE ARE AT LEAST ONE BILLION PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET WORSE OFF THAN YOU. Make every effort to make that two billion.

Repuke funny business in Colorado...:bounce:

From ABCNEWS.com

DENVER Dec. 1 — The Colorado Supreme Court threw out a GOP redistricting plan Monday in favor of one more beneficial to the Democrats, making it clear the state can redraw its congressional map only once per decade.

Hope your week gets better. :hi:

edited for double vision. :D

16. That was kinda my question.
The response was something like "well, you are responsible for that lab". My response of "but housekeeping is responsible for the trashcans and the papertowels" didn't go over very well.

I have a feeling that, since this was the second day of this particular fiasco, that this will come up in the weekly staff meeting tomorrow. I'm thinking I am going to have to work hard at not becoming extremely unprofessional.

29. Well, sometimes you just gotta suck it up
even if you are right. I try figuring out a solution a solution so when they are dwelling on or rehashing a problem, you can switch the subject to a solution and steer things in a more positive direction.

I hope things go better for you tomorrow. :hi:

8. I have a really corny (3rd grade) one.
So, why do elephants paint their toenails red?

So, they can hide in cherry trees.

Now, why do giant yellow canaries wear tennis shoes?


Are you ready?


So they can sneak up on the elephants hiding in cherry trees.


:D Come on now, just a little smile.

I just had a call from the girl child about her very bad day at work. It's OK sweetheart, don't let the uhh... dorky guys get you down.

:hug:

17. similar childhood favorite
Why shouldn't you go in the jungle between 1 and 2 pm?
Because that's when the elephants are jumping outta the trees.

Why does the beaver have a flat tail?

*wait for it*...
Becuase he went in the jungle between 1 and 2.

Feel better honey. :hug:

22. Why do ducks have flat feet?
Stamping out forest fires.

Why do elephants have flat feet?

Stamping out flaming ducks.

K-ching!

Do this and you'll *kill*.

Sit some place with a newspaper and say, "I just read that the
first sign of mental retardation is hair on the knuckles."

Then wait. Someone will check their fingers. Trust me.

Then casually say, "The second sign is looking for it."

K-ching!

Hugs, honey,

RV

13. Mickey and Minnie in a divorce proceeding
They went to a marriage counselor, Mickey first, then Minnie. The counselor says "Mickey you have no grounds for divorce, Minnie is not crazy." Mickey says, "I didn't say she was crazy, I said she was fucking Goofy."

31. Yes, the TX redistricting...
Edited on Mon Dec-01-03 09:48 PM by VelmaD
was out of cycle.

The repubs kept redistricting from passing in the 2001 legislative session so the courts did it. Well, actually a committe run by a rethug - David Dewhurst - drew the lines and the court, composed of a majority of rethug appointees, approved them.

Anyone who tells you the lines drawn in 2001 don't favor rethugs is lying. They just run crappy candidates and the Dems beat them.

This is my issue. This is the thing that made me mad enough to go down and make a nuisance of myself at the legislature.
