Finding Joy in Snarkville

First, in case you were truly worried, Roberta has seemed to have lived.  We are all thankful that she’s made a full recovery and will be forever more teased with abandon about her “brush with death by fork.”  We assume her “tyne” had not come yet.  After all you know there is a “tyne” for every season. Yes, folks, I’ve got a million of them.

In other news, I’m feeling a bit random today, thus if I cease to make sense at some point, just send the coffee and perhaps some good food.  Here’s a small glimpse of what is going on in Snarkville.

1. This may disappoint many of you, but I have decided to at least turn the Yahoo! portion of my mother’s club off.  After another volley of e-mails from the woman who is being posioned by life, I can no stand it.  My e-mail last night mentioned what I think may be the most telling of understanding this whack-job: she believes herself to be a “canary in a coal mine” — well, that’s all good, but if you “die” at the littliest bit of life, you aren’t a canary, you are incapable of living.  Early warning signs are great, but constant fear is deadly.  While I could simply delete her e-mails, the temptation is too great to get angry, thus I’m turning it off for a bit.  If I feel better soon, I’ll go back.
2. I’m no longer at the point where I wish to throw any computer out a window.  In case I haven’t whined enough, I am going to a new program for work and the learning curve is steep and if I don’t get enough coffee it is steeper.  I’m literally down to TWO little issues at this point and I think I’ll get both of them fixed this afternoon.  Much happiness.
3. If the software change isn’t enough, Prince and I are working with a dear friend who is helping (read: doing all the backend work while we dream up new and bigger things to be built) us redesign the business site.  As of this typing there is no ETA on its release, but I promise a cyber party WITH prizes when it is up and running.
4. Because of point the 3rd, I got to bed a full hour later than normal.  This would have been fine if I’d been able to turn the brain off and sleep.  No, I just couldn’t.  I was awake another full hour wondering “At what point do I give up and go watch TV?”  I fear the answer was “20 minutes ago, silly.”  But alas, I slept.
5. We are on day TWO of dry at night.  Anyone know where I can get “red car stickers”  because somehow in my talking about dry nights, I may have promised “a ton of red car stickers” — I see a trip to the craft store in my future.
6. Speaking of stickers I fear the stock Snarkville is dangerously low.  I must correct this before serious harm comes to the citizens of Snarkville.  “Please back AWAY from the stickers.”
7. Let’s all praise Prince for finishing a project at work yesterday!  He’s beyond thrilled and I’m over the moon about it — actually.  Next project? Who knows — just not this week.
8. The snot has gone.  I could tell you were all worried.  It seems I was the only one affected by the snot.  Now, if I was the woman from point the 1st, I’d be forced to tell you that I was posioned by something, like life or Lysol, and I had a car I could no longer drive because it was “contaminated.”  But since I’m, um, SANE, I’m going to say that I think it was allergies and move on.
9. Seasons are changing in Snarkville.  I’m so enjoying the crisp air in the mornings and evenings.  Now, if only I can figure out how to dress for the day without looking like I’m overdressed at 2pm and freeze at 7am….URGH.
