I'm having what my last boss would call a "low tolerance day". Actually, more like a "low tolerance week".

It's spring break, time to break out the trolls.

Do you know... the girl who has me picking her up at work today and tomorrow blew my mind this morning when she called me and asked me if I'd not only pick her up a pack of ciggs on the way but pay for them ta boot until she cashed her check? WTF? Does she think I'm her boyfriend or something? Last time I checked, I looked very much non-male.

Then tonight she asked me if I'd bring her not only to her son's daycare but then home from there. I said, "No, I won't. As I said, I don't have a car seat for him which he belongs in to be legal AND safe." Good grief.

So did you pick her up her smokes?

935041

[Shelli]

Does this answer your question?

Shelli

935040

[Shelli]

Why? I just don't know.

Tomorrow's her last day getting a ride from me though which is why I let it go today. As of Monday, weather permitting, I'm vrooming, so I'm unable to commit. She'll have to find someone else to cart her ass around.

I just got back from donating blood. ( I was much more calm than this guy.)

And when came online this afternoon, and the first thing I saw was one of the quotes I added. That made this a good day.

Quotes - Freethought Forum

[The mind] must combine the indicative mood with the subjunctive one, yoking a coldly demystified sense of the present to a warmly imaginative leap beyond it. It must respect and refuse the world in the same act. The mind is called upon to be both mirror and lamp, faithfully reflecting its surroundings while shedding a transformative light upon them. The flights of fantasy which get in the way of trying to see the situation straight are vital to imagining an alternative to it. We must be moved by visions of a future in which men and women would be made physically sick by the act of dominating others, while remaining stony-faced and churlishly suspicious before the blandishments of the present. If the Romantic conforms the world to his or her desire, and the realist conforms the mind to the world, the revolutionary is called upon to do both at once.

—Terry Eagleton

It's always good to have boundaries on these sorts of issues, Shelli.
Hi Null!

I used to give blood all the time, got my silver pin from the Red Cross for donating 25 times.

The only reason I started was to get out of school

Shelli! I can't believe you got her smokes, you need to grow some steel ovaries.

935033

[Qingdai]

Steel ovaries? Funny, I was just helping a student understand metaplaysia.

Anarchist blood! My husband donates blood all the time, I am slightly anemic.

935031 Hi dudes

I went to a concert by a Finnish band called 22 Pistepirkko, alternative rock kind of thing.

Hehe, the bass/keyboard player was suffering from an affliction that often strikes foreign bands playing in the Netherlands. Stoned that is

Still it made for extra entertainment and the music was good.

[Qingdai]

That sounds fun. Have you heard of Jukka Tolenen? I was looking at Finnish guitar heroes just yesterday.

935029 No, doesn't ring a bell..

[Shelli]

Glad you had a good time, Watser?

Yeah, I totally agree that she's cut off. The only reason why she's got tomorrow is because I already agreed to it and my personal ethics dictate that since I already told her I would, then I should do so. I can be a real slave driver sometimes.

On top of the motorcycle explanation that she'll be given tomorrow, my husband had an idea that I'll use in conjunction with it. It's a lie, but this is an instance where my personal ethics say that it's okay to lie.

On the way to her son's daycare tomorrow, she'll be told that as of Monday, not only will I be on my motorcycle weather permitting but that also, my husband's truck needs some work done to it, but we're not going to spend the money on it till we have to in the fall when motorcycling is done. So, this means that when weather is not permitting for motorcycling, he'll need me to drive him to work and pick him up from work since he goes in before me and gets out after me.

There, problem solved.

935027 Good plan Shelli

22 Pistepirkko means 22 ladybugs in Finnish btw (or a ladybug with 22 spots, maybe)

I need to do that again now that I don't smoke, have some weight on me and am in good health. It made me feel good doing that years ago.

Yeah, I know. Don't tell anyone I did that for someone or they'll think I'm not such a big, bad biatch after all.
