I really got nothing today

[susandennis]

Nothing. The Mariners even won last night so I can't whine about how much they suck. Well, I could but I think I've done that before. See? I knew this would happen the minute I finished with the redesign project. I've got no journal fodder. It's no longer hot so I can't bitch about that. The new TV season is starting so I can't bitch about reruns.

As I type this, I can actually hear Becky's (next cube over) cellphone vibrating. Holy crap, when she puts that thing in her pocket she must feel like every call is a night on the town with a slow cigarette after. My Treo, on vibrate, is a nothing burger. Hymnals give you more action.

Mom says the hurricane is going to North Carolina "They have better schools, they have better taxes, they get everything - even hurricanes. But, it's ok because I couldn't decide what to wear for the evacuation anyway." I can not imagine evacuating the 'home'. They don't do transportation well. A couple of weeks ago they decided to load up a bunch from Mom's assisted living wing - into a van - and drive them through downtown Charleston. A great idea, actually. Mom loves being driven through town so she can see stuff.

But, they finally got all the old people into the van (no minor deal there). And the driver discovered the van had no gas. It was Saturday and the Keeper of the Gas Credit Card wasn't on duty so they couldn't buy gas. And the trip was canceled. Mom said that loading up, discovering no gas, discovering no gas possible, and then unloading, took an hour and 15 minutes. The idea that these people would be responsible for evacuating not only the assisted living folks but the nursing wing and the Alzheimer's wing... arugh. The last evacuation was when Mom still lived in the apartment and was driving - she got in the car and went to visit friends.

I told her I'd drive her through downtown until she had had her fill when I get there at Thanksgiving.

It's Halloween candy time. I see that Brachs has nugats for Halloween but I don't see what flavor they are. I am going to have to investigate. If they are good, then I will have to stake out the best places for post Halloween sales. Which will also lead right into Christmas with the peppermint tree nugats which are, of course, perfect.

When I said I had nothing, I was really not kidding. Oh, cripe, there goes Becky's cellphone again. I think it's a Nokia - Yo, fj, your people selling those as sex toys?

When one runs out of things to bitch about, one must bitch about having nothing to bitch about. That way, one never runs out of things to bitch about.

Makes sense to me!

If we were marketing them as useful for that purpose, I would probably know. Because the whole company would.

You are sure it is her cell phone? Maybe she answers her vibrator.
