Last night I think I experienced how the whole world is against me. So I finally leave the office. I get over the bridge and not even a mile from work yet. I stop at the light, it changes and the traffice proceeds on its way. I am in the left lane of two lanes. One lane is the turning lane and goes left (hence my being there) and the right lane goes straight. I am going maybe 1/4 mile to the next light where I turn left. This jackass decides to cut me off. He then flips me off. Now explain to me why that is? So I give him the "what the hell" hands. So now we roll up 1/8 mile to the light which turns red before he can turn. Do you know that {insert bleep here} had the nerve to hang out his window, turn around and start yelling at me and calling me names? And you all wonder why I hate people and my drive to work. I am just glad friends aren't people. I then make my way home with some other people being stupid, including a construction crew that is not supposed to knock the heavily travelled two lanes down to one until after 7pm. And now here I am slowing down because there is a line of traffic and other jackasses trying to merge because they chose to ignore the "right lane closed" signs (because they are too important to wait like the rest of us). I turn my head to look at the clock to literally watch it turn from 6:59 to 7:00. I just shook my head. I make one stop on the way home for some cash for this evening. Another rude person. But at least I also encountered a nice young man behing the counter of the store. I finished up the last couple of miles that put me at my house. Then later when I walked across the street to buy a lottery ticket for last night's powerball drawing, the machine was down. How am I supposed to win big $$ to share if I can't even buy a ticket?
That stupid stuff on top of the stupid day I have in here yesterday made me want to stay home today. But I didn't. Here I am. Dealing with the stupid TX auditor who basically did not understand the information and explanations I gave him a month or so ago. Now I have to go through everythign again and reexplain why I think he is wrong and should remove several items.

I'm present and accounted for here at Camp Happy. yay. Not a lot going on today, but it is nice to be in the air conditioning... still haven't turned mine on at home yet.
Pambo is scheduled to go into surgery just over an hour from now. I really hope it works out for her.
That's about it so far for today.

Sleeping last night wasn't so bad. I have both windows in my bedroom open and a fan going. It was a bit cooler. A few of the nights have been tough. I got quite a bit done on the expansion foaming of the gaps so I can probably turn it on this weekend. Which would be nice give that there are more thunderstorms headed my way and its supposed to be around 90* both days.

I feel your pain woman! I HATE that. It's amazing how many times that scenario has happened to me. Somebody blows a stop sign, or cuts me off, or nearly hits me. I honk at them and they flip me off and get angry at me.
On top of all that crap yesterday you have to deal with the fact your Phillies suck worse than the Brewers right now. D'oh. Probably not the best time to bring that up.
You probably haven't even had a real cheesesteak. Who knows how close they would ever come to one in brat country. Come on over and I'll whip you up a real cheesesteak. I don't do cheese whiz though. That belongs on french fries only.

One of these years, when I'm no longer broke, I would really like to take about a two week vacation in your direction and see things like DC, the liberty bell, NYC, etc.
A visit to you for a cheesesteak and a Phillies game would definately have to be on the agenda.
