Kill Bill

@ graduates from Middle School Friday. Yeah, I said graduates. Kids theses days, they have kindergarten graduation, middle school graduation, high school graduation and on and on. He has been hounding me to get him a cel phone for about 2 years now. I have adamantly refused, playing the responsibility card. The more I though about it, the more I decided that I would get him one for graduation. Maybe it will instill some reponsibilty in him. So I trekked over to the local AT&T Wireless store to see what kind of plan I could work out. Looks like it was a good time to buy. My current 2 line plan (analog) ran $62 per month. What I ended up getting, was upgraded to the new GSM network and adding a third line. Upgrade to GSM, means three new free phones, 200 more minutes and free nights and weekends for $59 per month. Add a line get 3 new phones, more minutes and pay less. A rare win for the consumer. Hopefully I wont be posting any "I took away @'s cel phone" entries in the near future.

"..for it takes irony to appreciate the joke which is on oneself." Jessamyn West I have raised a retard. I swear to God, the things he says and thought processes that flow through his brain never cease to amaze me. Early on in this Blog, I promoted the idea of trying to give your kids more than you had. Don't force them to work during their early high school years and instead let them enjoy their summers unencumbered. As that dickhead Dr. Phil says, " how'd that work out for ya?" I have ended up with an unappreciative individual that is not even remotely ready for the real world. What a slap in the face that will be, standing on his own two feet. I know, I know, I reap what I sow, but that what blog is for isn't it, anonymous venting?? His outrageously expensive school, has a relatively relaxed cel phone policy. You can have you phone, and actually use it in between classes. Just don't use it during class. Kinna obvious don't you think? He come...

Urine Trouble I am consistently floored by the amount of people that exit the public restroom without washing their hands. Now, I can understand if your just lazy, but even though, if you see someone else in there with you, at least fake it. We are compiling a "PeePee Hand" list here at work. I might just sneak it up on the Intranet too. So come on people, start washing up, you may get called worse than PeePee Hands.

" And summer's lease hath all too short a date. " William Shakespeare Where did the time go? I have a 14 year old in the midst of enjoying his summer break, and it makes me pine for that two month vacation of youth. Why couldn't someone have sat me down and said, "look, these summers don't last forever. Savor every single care free minute of them. Stay up until two in the morning every night. Get up and ten. Enjoy it every bit, because once they are gone, they don't come back. You will never again experience these days unencumbered by pressure. Sure, you'll take vacations, and if your lucky, you won't start worrying about the real life traumas that await your return at least until the second day of your so called vacation. But this, you will never experience again." But no one told me that. Instead my asshole father wondered why the hell I was sleeping all day, and why I didn't do anything he considered productive. Only wi...
