Because my work day ended with me having to call someone and put her on speaker to tell someone else "It can't be done". I have been saying this every time the subject came up. Not, "I didn't do it". Not "I don't want to do it". Not even "I can't do it". But that IT...CAN...NOT...BE...DONE.
And the perfectly appropriate and applicable quote of the day is "That's real retarded, sir".
Yeah, that kind of a day. Time for another drink.

Banjo Music to Pee By
Yeah, I know that is a gratuitous title intended to screw with the search engines. It is also the best description I can come up with for the weird, piped-in music that was playing in the bathroom at work today.
Speaking of work, this has been the most annoying week in a while. Without going into details, let's just say that between the end-of-the-year fiscal stress, made worse by a boss who has no sense of organization or basic accounting, plus the political drama, made worse by too many bosses for one job, plus my need to get something completely different accomplished, made worse by the fact that my priority is not anyone else's priority, until it becomes their priority, it has been a doozy. And it's only Wednesday.
In the middle of this, I had a job interview yesterday. I am of course second-guessing some of my responses, but over all I am qualified and hopeful. We'll see.
At home is has been a quiet week - Monday was my 22nd anniversary, but there was no one here to celebrate it with, so pretty low key. B has been gone the last two weeks, and this week until I don't know when. So just the twins and I, hanging out, messing with the garden, piddling at projects when it's not too hot, avoiding the pesky neighbor kid.
Speaking of pesky neighbor kid, he is actually a lot better, but still pretty annoying. I have figured out how to get him to behave most of the time. One, ask him nicely. Two, explain that since asking nicely didn't work, I will have to get "official". Three, pretend to write on a piece of paper. Four, get my phone. About the time I click on the camera icon and point it at him, he gets a scared look on his face and takes of for home. He'll figure it ou eventually and I'll have to try something else, but for now it works :)
Not much else is new. Garden is not impressive, but the kids are enjoying it. Mike came and finished the woodwork in the boys' room, I am almost done sanding the possum belly cabinet. Next up is to paint the trim, add the top to the cabinet, and then decide on either a sewing project (indoors, but something I have to be in the mood for), or another refinishing project (enjoyable, unless it continues to get hotter). Again, we'll see.
Next week of course is the 4th of July, but no plans as of yet.
Better go, time to get the twins ready for bed. They are going to Jump Zone tomorrow.
