For those about to debate ...

It's Friday afternoon, and I'm trying so hard to resist the temptation to just get up on my desk and start belting out a horrendous, a cappella version of "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)". No reason - I just feel like singing it.

And, really, isn't that the best reason to start singing a disco song originally done by a flamboyant gay man like Sylvester?

I know, people have done the "Random 10 Songs" meme into the ground - which is why I'm not doing it.

Instead, I want to know - what songs do you risk deafness over when the come onto your MP3 player/CD player/computer/whatever?

For me, those songs are: ( What's that? I can't hear you!! )

And for the record, I do get all kinds of shit for my singalongamania ... which is why I try my damndest to not do it, and still end up doing it anyways ... only to end up embarrassed when I'm caught in the act.

Well, that's all, my lovelies ... it sounds like the groceries are finally being delivered. So, I should be herding the cats and getting ready to clear the table (again)!

Someone please make me laugh.

The clients have their Pissy Pants© on again ... and I'm in the firing range, it seems.

Somebody forgot to tell Jeremy that the mic was ON...

Yes, Jeremy Roenick decided to pull a Lars Ulrich circa 1999, and kill off any remaining NHL fan base with some highly inflammitory - and dare I say, somewhat contradictory - comments about fans' reactions to the 2004-05 NHL Lock-Out.


And in response to his offer for fans to "kiss his ass" ... well, Jeremy, why don't you get over yourself, cos I'm not about to kiss your whiny, overpaid ass.

Or so it goes with one of my more mercurial (and ancient) clients.

I swear, I could talk to her one day and be the best thing since sliced bread. The next day, I'm the scourge of the earth because I'm breathing the same air.


About a month or so ago, we add a driver to her policy, as requested. A couple of days later, she calls back and bitches about how something was wrong on the salutation of the letter. Then, it's the ID card - a driver listed shouldn't be on there. Which, of course, wasn't even mentioned in the initial conversation.

So, just when things are squared away, and the dust settles, she calls to make a payment on the policy. And tells me how I'm such a pleasure to talk to - how she enjoys working with me.

Apparently, that was all to smack me back down again, because today, she calls me, with major sand in her craw. She finally got the endorsement adding the driver (requested - and contested by the company - a month ago), and she's being charged for this change. Why is she being charged to add the driver? Why is the other driver still on the policy? She assumed that the WalkerAuto policy allowed you up to 2 drivers before they started charging an additional premium. If they can't removed the additional charge, go ahead and delete the driver that was added last month, she's not in the household anyways.


Somebody kill me, please. No wonder I was having dreams of standing at the bus stop, and having late teens/early 20-somethings pelting me with rocks.

Everyone knows about Friendster and Myspace.com - now, the same things exist for cats and dogs.

Dogster and Catster

It seems kind of cheesy - but I like that you can visit random dogs - called "A Walk Through The Dog Park" - give dogs virtual bones, visit puppies, and even look for specific breeds or qualities (dogs up for adoption, tripod dogs, rescue dogs, etc.) and read Dog Blogs set up by their humans.

And it's the same for the cats. Walk through the Cat Den, give the cats virtual treats, visit the kittens and kit-teens, check out specific types of cats, as well as read the Kitty Chronicles - transcribed by the humans, of course.


So, check it out some time. Give the dogs and cats some treats, or even set up a Dogster/Catster account for your furry friend!
