You know, Verizon is pissing me off today. I had a big flippin’ post about…well, what I’m going to write about again, I push “Publish” and I get “Cannot find Server”. Up yours, Verizon! I’ve got your number now, you freaks. You’d think they’d get their shit together and not allow me to lose valuable postings, but they don’t really care. Do ya, ya jerks? BLAH!
Anyway, back to what I was saying before Verizon took a big fat dump on my creativity.[1] I was telling you about this really cool alarm clock that I have. Not only is it a telephone (which I don’t have connected, because damn, who wants woke up by the phone?) and a radio (doesn’t get any stations) but it also possesses two alarms that you can program to go off at different times on different days. Oh, and when you unplug it and then plug it back it it keeps the time. Love it.
So, I have Alarm 1 programmed to go off Monday-Friday at 6 am, to get Lil’ Miss up for school. Saturday and Sunday I have Alarm 2 programmed for 7 because, well, I have school on Saturday and you can’t program it for just one day of the week. Today Alarm 1 didn’t go off. However, I was expecting my little sister early in the morning so my internal alarm went off (I’m young enough to still have one of those) just in time to get my teenager up for school. I was trying to get her to hurry, but even putting live fire under her wouldn’t have gotten that kid motivated. While I was waiting for her to get her shit together and for my sister to show up I took a look at my fancy new alarm clock to see what the hell happened. Imagine my surprise when I saw that Alarm 1 was somehow reprogrammed to go off on Saturday and Sunday. Lil’ Miss seemed to think a ghost must have done. Really?
Yeah, the ghost of teenage fingers trying to miss the last day of school before winter break. Ha! Poor Lil’ Miss, foiled again. I’ll tell you, that child wears me out. No doubt about it. It’s a good thing she’s going to college in a couple of years because I don’t think my brain can handle trying to stay one step ahead of her scheming ways. Whew! Who needs brain food and puzzles to keep the brain sharp when I’m always trying to imagine what she could possibly think of next? I did get a good laugh though, as I was ushering her out the door for her long day of school. Hope she enjoys it.:satansmoking:
By the way, I got two more part-time online jobs. Can you believe it? My proofreading gig is on hold until Tuesday because they’re down for maintenance…blah, whatever. Everyone is out paryting I’m sure and no one wants to chaperone the pee-ons. So, I signed up for a couple more things. One of them requires training that I can’t do today because….Verizon sucks donkey ass and the other one requires more creativity than I can muster today. What does that mean? I was, am, and will remain broke as hell. Aren’t you so happy for me? :clap:
[1] I was planning on cutting down on my not-so-ladylike language. Yeah right. Piss off, Verizon.
What time is it?
