Here's a great quote from my friend Bruce today: "I've been showering with guys my entire life." Oh man, what am I gonna do without him when he leaves for his new job?
Speaking of work, more interesting goings on at the office. The owner's daughter, who plays a pretty significant role with one of our clients, quit today with no notice. Quite the dysfunctional place. You could make a pretty interesting reality TV show out of it.
Speaking of reality TV shows, at 8:00 tonight I'm flipping the dial trying in vain to find something to watch. On 5 of the 6 major non-cable networks there were reality shows: the former trio (now a duo) TLC looking for a member on WB, some Tommy Hilfiger fashion show on CBS, "Brat Camp" (wish I could have sent my nephew Dru for that one) on ABC, "Average Joe" on NBC, and "American Idol the dance contest" on Fox. Are all the television writers on strike? Or are we all so bored with our own lives that we have to play 'peeping tom' on others'?
In my earlier post from today where I talked about the bill in New Jersey to ban smoking while driving I posted a link to an article regarding the issue. Here's a snippet: "Assemblyman John McKeon, a tobacco opponent whose father died of emphysema, sponsored the legislation. He cites a AAA-sponsored study on driver distractions in which the automobile association found that of 32,000 accidents linked to distraction, 1 percent were related to smoking." Hey douchebag, I'm willing to bet that at least 90 percent of the other 32,000 accidents linked to distraction were due to drivers using cellphones. Try passing laws (and actively enforcing them) prohibiting the use of cell phones while operating a motor vehicle! Leave the fucking smokers alone, we're hassled enough already.
My ailing back hasn't gotten any better. If I were a race horse they'd shoot me. So I called my primary physician today to get a referral to see an orthopedist. They told me I have to come in and see him in order for him to give me a referral. Gotta love HMOs. Not only do I have to pay the co-pay to see him, but that means I have to wait even longer to finally get to the specialist. Sure, I've only been in an obscene amount of agony for 6 weeks and can now barely turn my head to the right, what's a few more days. Fucking sadists.
You know that concept where every time you drop a piece of toast it lands face down? My little cat, Bella, is suffering from hairballs, which causes her to vomit every now and then. The past 2 days I came home from work to find she had thrown up on my bed. The entire apartment is tiled, why is it that every time she gets ill she happens to be lying on my bed? Throw me a friggin' bone once in a while and puke on the floor. At least hang your head off the end of the bed. I'm running out of comforters here! "How come it never rains, it only pours..."
What's the difference between a Jew and a canoe? Eventually a canoe is gonna tip.
