Not my bathroom

At every new job, I spend the first few weeks looking for “my” bathroom. The one that’s less popular, usually clean, and bonus points for a locking door. When I worked for the County, I found a candidate at the Data Center that checked all the boxes except for this glaring downside. I could not imagine watching myself shit. Who does this?

Shut up, green Meg.

Went to see “Oz: The Great and Powerful”. This is all I could think throughout the whole thing. I posted this to Twitter right after we saw the movie and got so much shit from people thanking me for ruining the surprise. Still not sorry. It’s funny.

Now I don't know math

Carrie just shuffled behind my chair on her way to the bedroom, unknowingly building up an intense electrostatic charge. She then reached out lovingly and patted me on the head, discharging 1.21 gigawatts into my poor bald spot.Now I don’t know math.

A two-office, business casual, programmer / driving instructor

So, we’re in the empty parking lot and Ashley’s practicing maneuverability with the new car, when a guy pulls up and asks me if I do this (teach driving) professionally? Me: Ummm… no. Him: If I gave you a couple bucks could you teach my mom how to do this (referring to the cones)? Me: Tell ya what, we’re up here most evenings. If we’re here, I’d be glad to help. ...

The First ... LEON?

For a while I thought this might have been the ultimate goof. Someone thinking that if the lights were on the outside of the house, they needed to be backwards (to them) so that the words were forward (for us). Like writing on the outside of a window, for the people inside. But then I decided that I was overthinking that explanation and that the owners just decided that Leon was pretty cool at Christmas. ...

My Life According to Alice Cooper

Using only song names from ONE ARTIST, cleverly answer these questions. Pass it on to 15 people you like (if you want to) and include me. You can’t use the band I used. Try not to repeat a song title. It’s a lot harder than you think! Re-post as “my life according to (band name)” A disclaimer: Some of this stuff obviously isn’t true, the songs just fit that way. ...

Scaring My Wife

So, I’m sitting in my chair watching “This Week in Tech Live” (because I’m a geek) on the laptop when I start thinking “How can I watch this on a bigger screen?”. So I pause the show, stand up and look behind the TV (Carrie and Ashley were watching “Bridezilla’s”). Carrie’s eyes got big. I turn around and look at the back of the laptop. “Hmmmm…” Carrie pauses Bridezilla’s and looks at me. “What?” ...
