Random Rants #63: These Rants Don't Run

[hobbsyoyo]

The first of my cousins to die has his funeral Friday.

Boss was being a weasel today.

My condolences, sorry to hear that.

And sorry about the crappy boss too. Is it a temporary thing with him/her or just the way they always are?

 

[Takhisis]

By ‘boss was being a weasel’ you mean he won't let you go?

I need food for the dog and celebration juice but I didn't want to make a trip to a supermarket.

So instead I go to the liquor and food mart across the street. Went up to the counter with orange juice, vodka and dry dog food. The cashier shakes his head at me disapprovingly and snorts.

I looked him in the eyes and deadpanned, "You know a better way to wash down kibbles and bits?".

YOU DON'T KNOW ME
judgemental jerk

There are some who aren't. But for the most part bosses suck. Being a boss damages people's brains.

I'm tired and want more rest but I don't like going to sleep early so I'm screwed

No, he just likes to try to get everyone to do extra stuff for no benefit to them.

We've had FOUR false fire alarms in my building over the last week and a half.

Not that I'd prefer a real fire, but I would rather not have false ones.

OTOH, it's a good way to meet neighbors one never talks to otherwise. The pizza guy showed up tonight, just as the security people were telling everyone we could go back to our suites. He didn't seem worried about any potential fire going on; just asked if the elevators were working yet.

Amazingly, a couple of the kids who got carried downstairs just slept through the whole thing. They're going to grow up to need very loud alarm clocks...

 

[Borachio]

Kids can sleep through things.

I heard recently of a study that put smoke alarms actually in the children's bedrooms. And they slept through them, when they were deliberately set off.

The subconscious is a funny thing, though. And in the case of a smoke alarm being set off deliberately, it apparently tells the children that there's nothing to worry about. Which there isn't.

Today at office is really dragging. The computers are just slow enough to be annoying and my coworkers are being chatty Kathy's.

So I apparently have an awful habit of telling my romantic partners I love them at really awkward times.

 

[Snerk]

During farts, perchance?

 

[Borachio]

Their farts or yours?

 

[Snerk]

Any fart will do the trick I'd imagine.

So I was in a car accident, and it's mostly my fault.

Nobody was hurt, just a real minor collision, but feelsbadman.jpg

Also my steering alignment is screwed

 

[shadowplay]

*dude hugs*

At least there were no injuries.

 

[Takhisis]

People can heal on their own. The steering heals on dollars.
