Another day, another dollar.

This is a note from my boss that was waiting on my desk for me this morning. Yes, he calls me 'Hot Shot', and yes, I call him 'Boss'. We believe in maintaining a highly formal, professional relationship.I'll give a dollar to the person who can decipher his handwriting, especially the line above the word "copies".

Today was my first day of classes at Mason. Let me preemptively state that I know that Mason is a good school that is well-respected, and that I will be in no way ashamed to call it my alma mater. That being said, why are there so many stupid, lazy people in all of my classes?Take, for example, the brilliant intellectual specimen seated behind me this afternoon who kept blurting out questions regarding how little work she could get away with doing. She even had the audacity to let out a loud cheer when we were told that part of the second exam was to be a take-home exercise. The sad part is that she was not alone - 90% of the other students visibly shared her enthusiasm. I understand that not everybody cares about being an obsessive-compulsive grade-grubbing geek, but seriously, can't these people at least pretend to have ...continue reading.

Road rage…and the irony.

Why the hell are SO MANY incompetent drivers on the road in the middle of the day? My mere presence on the road raises the average speed limit by roughly 25 miles per hour. I've also been nearly hit by three 'moms' and two senior citizens, all of whom were meandering aimlessly from lane to lane as if they were driving on a deserted highway in North Dakota as opposed to busy route 123. If only my middle finger earned royalties...AUTHOR'S UPDATE: Today's HoroscopeTuesday, January 24, 2006SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) Everything you feel will quite literally be written all over your face now. Everything. So if you're angry, don't bother trying to hide it, and do not -- repeat -- do not -- drive. Instead, why not just tell the person who's pushed your buttons exactly how you feel about what they've done? You don't have to be mean about ...continue reading.

I’d like to introduce you to Aisha.

This is our new puppy Aisha. Theoretically, she belongs to Paul, but that's a technicality I am willing to overlook, mostly because it will be me driving down to Delray Beach, Florida to pick her up on February 11th. I'm thrilled. For all you skeptics out there (hi Mom and Dad!), just know that Kobe was the best purchase I've ever made, and this can only be an opportunity to double my pleasure and double my fun. And hey, on the bright side, at least it's not a real baby.Addendum: It did not occur to me when I first posted this to mention that Aisha is a Shiba Inu, just like Kobe. She will be 8 weeks old when I pick her up; she was 5 weeks old in the pictures.

He licks his butt and then tries to give me sloppy kisses on the face, and he takes 3 million years to poop every night, but when he looks at me with that expression, I would give him anything - food, money, the keys to my car - anything in the world.
