Pardon me while I go insane...

Today at work I spent no less than FIFTEEN MINUTES looking for something on my desk, mining through stacks of papers and file folders, finally enlisting the help of my boss and a coworker. After looking around the office for a few minutes, my boss picks up something sitting SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF MY DESK and says, "isn't this it?" It was. I had picked up that VERY SAME THING no less than THREE TIMES, and set it aside thinking it was something else. Brain...turning...to...mush. Thank gods it's a three day weekend!

One of those months...

Shoot. Me. NOW.

Quote for the Day: "Frankly, I don’t think they have a problem at all. With 80 or 90 percent of the male population chain-smoking filter-less cigarettes, the majority of the people living in or moving to the most polluted cities on Earth, nearly double the traffic fatalities of the United States despite having a tenth of the automobiles, and with a booming economy destined to bring still more traffic, more cigarettes, and more pollution, it’s a tragic bet that the bulk of them will be dead by sometime tomorrow afternoon."--The Mighty Jimbo, on China's overpopulation problem.

Quote for the Day: "Think not of the faults of others, of what they have done or not done. Think rather of your own sins, of the things you have done or not done."--Buddha

Tom from The Funny Farm tagged me in my comments a little over a month ago, challenging me to answer the Five Questions that seem to be making the rounds of the blogosphere, and now I'm *finally* getting answering them. (Sorry Tom, it's been a busy month.)
