What's Shakin'?

Okay, I know I should be working, but working just isn't any fun. Since I am not working, I need to look like I am working. Looking like you are working is almost as important as actually working. If I am here at my desk typing away, the evil people with problems tend to think I am involved in something important and will sometimes opt to just move on. Which is good. Very good since mostly these folk's problems aren't so much problems as they are stupidity. For example, I had someone stop in the other day because her phone was broken. Just broken so she said. I dropped what I was doing to check it out. Phone was unplugged from the wall. I can't believe I left my office for that. I am the manager and it is my job to see that things are working properly and if they are not, to get them fixed.

Anywhoooo, back at the ranch, The Kid is not really doing much better. He is causing some trouble at school and things between The Kid and me are strained. We aren't really speaking much. I find that I am not saying much except barking orders or complaining about his chores not being done. I am thinking a weekend of camping, but it will have to wait another week. The puppy is still recovering from her surgery and I think that she needs another week to heal before any trips. Which sucks, but what can I do?

More crazy things have happened to me, but I am unable to tell them here as my son now knows about this blog and I certainly can't tell everything when I know he periodically checks in. I have to remove this from my favorites. I know the addy by heart. But I forget. Too many things to remember. In a few weeks, remind me to tell you about how evil men are.
