No, I'm not dead, despite those assassins you keep sending: Random Tuesday Thoughts
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at 4:39AM 
Oh, hai. So THIS is where I put that blog. I thought it was under the mattress, because that's where I put all my other important stuff, and my life savings. But no, it was out here collecting dust in the internet's tool shed.
Anyway, I have a good excuse - I really was, in fact, writing my NaNoWriMo novel. I have 11,000 words. I'm right on track, as long as November has 5 weeks.
November does have 5 weeks, doesn't it?
I've also been getting my ass handed to me at work. Both bosses are in Phoenix
hopefully getting stricken with the Swine Flu and maybe some leprosygolfing, and the Ninja Office Manager is out with the flu.Though she very kindly diseased every surface in the building before we bullied her into seeing the doctor. Thanks, ever so much. Cue my obsessive handwashing and love affair with bleach.
And someone else is sick and the shop foreman's father passed away. It's not that big of a company, so like 40% of the staff is missing. Guess who gets to pick up the slack?
On an unrelated note, I find it fascinating that I can do 90% of my boss' job in his absence. Yet he could probably do about a quarter of mine if I were MIA. How does that work, exactly?
On yet another unrelated note, I've been feeling a lot of rage lately. Mostly between the hours of 8 and 5, though occasionally it lingers as late as 8pm.
On yet another unrelated note, it's 8pm. I'm having a glass of wine.
I seem to gather more followers when I don't post than when I do. I'm...not sure how to take that.
Oh, no, wait. I lost one just now. Phew. That makes me feel better.
I had a session with Trainer Lady today. She usually focusses on stretches and rehabilitating my gimpy back, but today I made the mistake of saying that my back has actually been feeling pretty good. So she worked me out really hard and then gave me homework.
This is totally not what I signed up for.
I guess if I was paying her to enable my alcoholism and feed me chocolate, I'd...make a really awesome personal trainer myself.
So you're probably dying to know what my novel is about, right? It's just a silly little romantic piece of fluff. I know, because I seem like I have such a strong romantic streak, right?
Although I had to change my character's names from Emily and Eddie because Anymommy stole those.
Just kidding. My romance novel characters are named Crystal Dawn and Blake Stone, like sensible romance novel characters should be.
I haven't checked my Google searches in a while. They're just...too weird. Also, there seem to be an alarming amount of people who really do believe the h1n1 vaccine will turn them into zombies.
(Sidebar: I freaked out after the Office Ninja got the flu and sent hubby down to the concentration camp vaccination clinic to get our toddler immunized. He's the only one who qualifies so far in our province. And I'm allowed to change my mind in the face of potentially watching my kid on a ventilator, ok?)
But for whatever reason I looked at them today, and I must share this one with you, because it is just plain wrong: "caillou's mom porn"
So very, very wrong.
I bet you've always wondered what a shaved bear looks like, huh?
Anyway, I'm off to procrastinate my novel again. I promise to post something between now and next Tuesday. Maybe. If the h1n1 zombies don't get me.

I loved linking up this week, it's been awhile and I'm happy to be back...this week anyway :)
You wait till 8 to have wine. Have you considered lunchtime? Might help ;)
The bald bears are kinda scary, but at least they're not moving into my http://nakedopinions.blogspot.com/2009/11/time-for-random-tuesday.html" rel="nofollow">house.
I'm still laughing about Calliou. And, it sounds like you should be the boss.
cringing at calliou...nice progress on the novel...i like the names...and of course otin's comment gave me a chuckle...
Oh here it is... On a Wednesday morning from where I am... :D I think you're right, it's the crazy time zones that get me every week!
Oh yay! 11,000 words already! :) I can't wait to read your novel... :)
I need a glass of wine too, and it's only 12:13 noon where I am.. Ha!
Really? A romance novel? I was expecting something with ninjas and zombies and stuff... :D
It's great that you had X immunized, it's better to be safe than sorry...
caillou's mom porn?? People get weirder everyday!
Happy Tuesday (Wednesday for me) Keely! :)
And I just bet you are paid about 1/2 or so of what the boss gets and he has not clue what you do. :) Thanks for smile, even if it was at the cost of sanity!

LMAO. You kill me. I love it.
Caillou's mom porn - way to weird for words.
Wait...you mean you don't have your Zombie Survival Guide and Zombie Survival kit at the ready?
Glad I'm not the only one.
omg those poor bears .. that is sad. and disturbing.
I'm glad to see not much has changed since I've been "away". You're still as funny and charming as ever, lol!
I'm with you on the ability to be an "alcoholic enabler" trainer. We could start our own business!
loved the line about your lingering rage. http://www.workfromhomeindia.biz" rel="nofollow"> Work from home India
You are too funny... and why can't I comment on your next post? Jeez, I had something profound to tell you, but since I can't leave a comment there, how can I tell you? Not that I'd leave it on this post, because it's totally unrelated...
I have issues, I'm aware of this.... but I do like your description of what being fit means! Good job!
be careful my crap boss whos job i did 90 percent of sabotaged me when the CEO figured out I was doing all the work. told him to stick it and walked out. best and scariest thing i've done in my career like.
Calliou mom porn, oh not before bedtime please... eeew..
Shite. I accidentaly linked up on this one again. I need to get off the crack. Again... : )
I hope you feel better. That tattoo sight is both hilarious and frightening all at the same time. Thanks for the laugh.
