Impressive - I know
The most un-exciting part of my day was the treacherous drive into work. I really hate having to drive so far, so quickly (which is really my fault for waking up so late). I left my house at 8:25 am (late) and I had to be at work (Livonia) and in a meeting that starts at 9:00am. I got to work at 9:02am, ran into the meeting room and the lights were off - no one around. The meeting was cancelled.
So - I rushed to work so fast that I didn't eat anything, for nothing - And I really don't have all that much to do today.
But I'm a good speller (not really)

"S" is for Summary
Inevitably, hunting season started. I saw a small spike, at a distance on the last day of bow season and a bunch of Doe during rifle. Any hunter will tell you that's the equivalent of a no hitter in baseball( the side with no hits - just to clarify).
What else..(I'm doing this on the fly if you can't tell)..
I've been learning a little bit about HTML - My good friend Mario coached me through a project at work - That's super interesting (Sarcasm)
I have to talk about music - I went to a Joe Purdy concert in Columbus - Totally awesome!!! Here's a brand new song that he played at the show called "Angelina"- I somehow came across it, someone just left it out there streaming on the internet for me to take - Like a quarter dropped on the ground. It's a super great song, it's about someone who kills a woman that he adores - kinda weird, but a very good song. - Check it out.
A Hundred Miles played a battle of the bands preliminary show and we got first place - We have to go play again, in Ohio, for the finals - first place gets $1,000 - The catch?, You ask - Worst venue ever!
***Spoiler Alert*** - The next paragraph is sad. :(
My Aunt Pearl passed away two weeks ago (Actually, my Great Aunt Pearl, but we called her Aunt Pearle), she was in a car accident, very sudden. I wasn't super close to her, but I grew up going to the same church as her. Her husband, My uncle Amen, used to take me with him to the front of the church during the service to sing in the choir (Which I remember enjoying very much) - I cried at her funeral, I didn't think that I would...but I did, not until I went past her casket. I felt strange, very sad. The only thing that I could think of was how horrible it would be to lose a spouse that suddenly. No warning - just gone.
Ok - No more sadness - just pure non-filtered anger
My truck broke down on Eureka on my way to take my suit to the dry cleaners. Ok - So I'm stopped in the right lane at like 2:00pm on a Monday in front of Borders and I have my hazard lights on and every super old grandpa and grandma that are out for their daily 25 MPH sight seeing drive, had to stop about 4 inches from my bumper (probably because they could't see my hazards), sit there for 5 minutes until they figured out what was going on and back up in traffic and go around me. One of them even had the audacity to honk at me. At some point someone needs to pass a law to take your license away when you get too old.
My work cut everyone to 32 hours - it sucks, I'm broke. If anyone needs computers repaired or built or if anyone just wants to hire me for anything (no sex jokes) - Just give them my digits.
That's about it for now. Sorry for the long B-word - but when you only get one every two months it's gotta be long.
I'll try to keep up.

Hi Thomas,
I understand you spoke with Tyrone following up on this. I’ve re-emailed it to the supervisor I gave it to initially. I will email you once I hear back.
Thanks,

Steve,
Hi Thomas,
Thank you for your email. Your refund posted days ago. I do apologize for the delay.
Best regards,
__________________________________
The refund was not the full amount - please forward to your supervisor - I would like to speak to him directly - I can be reached at 734.391.XXXX
Steve,
Please explain to your customer that I need a detailed overdraft statement. It needs to have the dates of the transaction so our credit department can refund him his overdraft fees. The statement you gave me does not include the dates the transactions were processed.
Regards
giraldo
_________________________________
The statement that Steve brought me only has Description, Item amount & Fee Charged. Below you claim it shows dates that the purchases from the overdraft statement were made. Am I missing something ??? If I had the dates this issue would have been resolved. Maybe we are looking at two different statements. Please advise.
Giraldo
Thomas,
This is exactly what I needed. I apologize for the confusion between Steve and I. Can you please provide me with the phone number to your bank. In some occasions our credit department will attempt to convince the bank to drop some of the fees. Either way I will have this issue resolved ASAP.
Best regards
Giraldo
________________________________
Giraldo,
Thomas,
According to the bank statement and your bank, we were not the cause of your overdraft fees. When you placed your order with us, you account was already overdrawn. We only refund overdraft fees that are caused due to our error.
Regards
Giraldo

Why did the chicken take the redeye?.....To get to Detroit quicker.
10. He couldn't flag down a taxi.
9. To get to the median
8. He's a terrorist chicken who has just attacked the airport.
7. He likes to lay in the fields and watch the airplanes as they land.
6. He's lost
5. To prove that he could
4. Because he wanted to
3. The airport taxes were just to high so moving was optimal.
2. Your mom crossed the road.
1. He heard that Obama was flying into town......oh yeah...I said it.

Time Bomb
The new DMB album (Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King) is fantastic musically, and weird lyrically (Like usual). This one stuck out to me.
Waiting to blow my top
No one would ever know
Not until I blew up
No one would believe it
He was such a normal guy
Shake their heads and wonder why
If Martians fell from the sky
What would that do to god?
Would we put the weapons down
Or aim it up at the sky
No one would believe it
Except the fucking nut jobs
They laugh and cry we told you so
Baby when I get home
I want to believe in Jesus
Hammer in the final nail
Help me pick up the pieces
When everything starts to fall
So fast that it terrifies you
When will you hit the wall?
Are you gonna learn to fly?
No one would believe it
Except for all the people
Watching as you fly away
Baby when I get home
I want to pick up the pieces
Hammer in the final nail
And lean me up against Jesus
Baby when I get home
I want to believe in Jesus
You can Hammer in the final nail
But help me pick up
the pieces
Baby when I get home
Help me pick up the pieces
You can hammer in the final nail
I wanna believe in Jesus
Heaven or hell I'm going there with the GrooGrux King.

Nicole,
I sent this to both e-mail addresses because I didn’t know which one you would be checking, and because when I start typing “N-I” I get about 7 e-mail addresses for you.
So here go the questions:
1. 1. What time should I be at the event on the 14th?
2. 2. What should I wear?
3. 3. Any idea about the sound system yet?
4. 4. How do you feel about global warming?
6. 5. If a tree falls in the woods, and it lands on a squirrel, does it die?
7. 6. Will Chrysler survive?
So if you could just answer those that would be great! (extra credit if you spell your name correctly)
I’m considering this my blog for the day, so I’ve carbon copied the Fab Five ®™

Well, here goes the answers...
Name: Nicole LaPointe (Hooray! Extra Credit Done!!!)
1. Need to arrive on the 14th at 4 p.m. to set up. Music set to begin at 5:30 p.m.
2. Where work cloths...Khakis and a nice shirt is fine
3. Sound System not looking good, will advise you in person on this :(
4. Global warming is not really real. I think it is made up for the government to make money etc.
5. I hope the squirrel dies and every bird that was perched in that fallen tree as well!!!
6. I hope Chrysler survives...My wishful thinking is YES!
Thanks,
Nicole

It's Been Such A Long Time
I took a nap in the middle of the day.......I over reacted when someone left only one slice of pizza in the box (But really, who does that? that’s like leaving a little bit of milk in the jug - it's just enough milk for.....nothing. Or like leaving only half of a peanuty treat in the cupboard that you weren't supposed to eat. You know who you are.).....
We've been recycling for a little while now and Bri just went and got a recycling bin (Before the bin, recycling meant bagging it up and putting it in the garage). Bri, being smarter, read the pamphlet and it said to not put the water bottle caps in the bucket.
Ok, so, when you're sitting on the couch and you're in the funky funk that I've been in where you really really like conserving energy (laziness), and you just finished a bottle of water and the recycling bin is 2 feet to your left and the trash can is 15 feet away. What do you do???
You take the cap off, and try to basketball each of the two components into their respective bins.
And it never works.
