JUSTIN'S FORUM.
|
| I
need to change the name of the comments link at the bottom of the page
to "Justin's Forum." Honestly, other people do read
this besides Justin.

SICK DAY PARTY.
|
VIGNETTES XIII.
|
SNACKS.
|
|
With today's impending nice weather (76°), I was thinking of maybe
having a Sick Day Party soon. Invite all my friends to call in sick at
their jobs and come over to my house. Bloody Marys in the morning,
Coronas in the afternoon, do a little grilling. I'd be willing to bet
that at least 10 of my friends would be up for it. And they'd probably
just tell their bosses that they were going drinking for the day.
They're all lushburgers.

Beth took her
laptop to the IT department at work. She said it wasn't working at
all--wouldn't even boot up. The IT guy said he'd take a look at it.
After lunch, Beth went back down to the IT department and
the guy was running some diagnostic tests on it. Impressed, Beth asked him how he managed to get the thing to turn on.
He looked at her and said, "It's a laptop. You have to hold the power button
down."
Oh.

from the dog eating his own shit ("Goddamn it, the dog's having a
snack again!").

THE STADIUM PAL.

BIZ.

| Speaking
of lushburgers, here's what can only be classified as A College Idea
Brought To Fruition: The
Stadium Pal. Power to the people! Colostomy bags for all!

I've
decided to start a one-man company that combines my two backgrounds:
writing and selling. I'm starting a business that sells newsletters to
real estate agents and mortgage brokers. Good idea, yeah?

Driving
back from the video store (it should be "DVD store"), I caught
a glimpse of myself in the mirror. It wasn't pretty. Dirty San Diego
Sockers hat, smudged up sunglasses, unshaven, and unshowered. I was also
wearing brown hiking boots with black dress socks, badly faded and
outdated blue jeans, and a 2001 wine-colored softball long-sleeve. Taken
as a package, I looked like a bum. Even taken separately, I looked like
a bum.
I began to wonder if this whole Working From Home thing has affected how I present
myself to society. Am I a Slobbo Slobinovich? Could be. But then
again, maybe I shouldn't care. Well, up to a point I shouldn't
care.

I
think "cc'ing" should be outlawed in email. Every time I'm on
a "cc" list from someone and I do a "reply all"
(which my friends and I always do because we'd like the whole
group to get our witty comments) I get my same email back. And then I
get two copies of every email. On and on. Is this common or is this just me?
Of course, I could avoid doing a "reply all," but where's the fun in that?
