there is no purpose to the following... I'm just trying to stay awake at work, and typing everything that first comes to mind usually helps....
right now I am assembly testing several programs... which is redundant because you cannot assembly test only one program since the whole point of an assembly test is to test how programs work together... but I guess I could assembly test only two programs which would not qualify as several, but only a couple...
which is more? several or a few... I always classifed few with three and several with four or more, and obviously a couple with two... the simple logic for stating that a few denotes three things is because "few" has three letters... that's it... my sisters believe something else, and we had a debate about it, but I guess it is all semantics anyways...
bi-weekly means every other week, twice in a week is semi-weekly... this transfers to monthly and yearly and annually, etc. etc. etc. always a confusing topic, especially if you are making posters...
new and improved... you've heard this one before I'm sure... (can't be improved if it is new and vice versa) so I'll leave that at that...
we were given new bomb threat checklists... how nice... there are seven questions on the list which were are supposed to ask... where is the bomb, when will it explode, what kind of bomb is it, what does the bomb look like, what will cause it to explode, did you place the bomb - why, what is your name - address...
With those types of questions we are sure to catch every single terrorists that calls us - as long as they are absolute stupid-heads... but we have to try, don't we? I mean, if we didn't and they were morons, then we would miss our chance - so, it seems to me that we have to take any bomb threat call like we are talking to a dunce. I'd better becareful if they ever call me though... I might be like...
caller: I have planted a bomb in your building
me: Dude, knock it off, I know this is you _____
caller: what? I am serious, if you don't comply to my demands then I will blow you up...
me: oh, alright - because you knew to call me because I have all the clout to do what it is you want... ok - I'll bite...
caller: hunh?
me: umm... here it is... ok dude - prove it - where is the bomb?
caller: LISTEN TO MY DEMANDS!!!
me: that's not on the list... first question - where did you put the bomb thingy?
caller: why would I tell you that? so the bomb squad can find it an disarm it?
me: ok... [writing down]did not answer question 1...
caller: I want the following to happen in the next 5 minutes...
me: listen man, I have a list here... if you can't follow it, I can't help you... Now, when will it explode...
caller: right now!!!
[KA-BLOOEY]
Yeah, that wouldn't be cool... anyhow, so while I'm talking to the mad bomber (what bombs at midnight!) I am to be holding up the question sheet, which has on the back "BOMB THREAT!" in big letters which will notify others to call the cops... I really shouldn't be looking at this so cheekily... this is serious stuff...
by the way, I am actually doing work while I write this... you see, when I run a test, it takes a minute to complete - so I am popping back and forth between my two laptops as I write this... just in case you were getting the idea that I was a complete and utter slacker... (I am not a complete and utter slacker...)
Well thanks for following me this far... I hope you were entertained, at least a little... I think my train of though makes a lot of loops and disappears into la-la land quite often...
Oh, if you hadn't noticed, I added a count down to Lorie's and my wedding... can't get the color right though... hmpf... gotta figure that one out...
I should get going though...
So, let's make the most of this beautiful day.
Since we're together we might as well say:
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you please,
Won't you please?
Please won't you be my neighbor?
