IBS Gobsmacked and other crap

Crocus before the rabbits got dinner.

I had plans today and then IBS Billy Goats came and changed my day.

Zoey cat has been stalking the kitchen. We thought it was a game because she hunts all the time and we tore the kitchen apart looking for evidence of "rodents". No evidence and she was starting to slack. Then yesterday I heard the tinkle of flatware and dishes. I thought to myself, nah. Then I looked and the critters were with me. What to my wondering eye should "disappear" but a grey mouse and tail across my kitchen counter.

Well, we all know there is not enough Clorox Clean Up for that little snafu. And it seems there is a run on rodent trapping paraphernalia as Big Daddy had to fight for a spot at the Ace Hardware display. A huge bag of stuff and overnight we have captured one little mouse.

I gotta give Zoey her due, with no front claws it is prolly not easy to snag those little suckers.

I finished the OJ show on FX and must say it was great. I remember so much of it from the real time watching and this show just nailed it. And I really hope at some moment OJ did feel bad, or as bad as that asshole could feel,  and I feel bad for Bob Kardashian having to live with the truth.

I have the trip planned for mom and that was a pain in the ass. More on that later. Right now I am dreaming of vanilla muffins with Cacao nibs from Trader Joe's.

Undeclared War or don't piss on my tree

Yes indeed, they are at it again. Every once in a while someone decides they are The King of The World and mounts an aggressive campaign to make sure we are all aware of this. And it always fails because, well, no one gives a shit except the campaigner. And every one else piles shit on this person because really, well, we all have too much time on our hands.

The campaigner in this war should really know better as he/she has the largest file Human Resources has ever seen. Yours truly is even in that file through no fault of my own, and I did not say one bad word about this asshat as they did not ask me the right questions. I cannot say much about this, but remember that old saying about give a mouse a cookie and he will ask for a glass of milk? Well this guy told the world that not only are mice too stupid to eat cookies, you also cannot teach that species to drink milk. Oh yea, he is a prize. And protected somewhat since he is another species on the protected list.

So yes, I am doing my part to stir the pot. At the same time I have been offered the opportunity to work with a pretend intern. I love interns. They are just so damn naif. And sincere. It is just more fun than I should be allowed to have at work. And this one runs to meet me and show me my problems with such enthusiasm. If I was a good person I could tell him he could reasonably make me wait an hour or so, but why would I do that.

Once again it is freezing cold, my hair is fly-away and I forgot to buy tights for the 10 minute walk to the car. Brrr cold as Big Daddy says.
