Over at List of the Day, the author cited Mr. Bojangles as his most hated song.  In the comments I shared my personal most hated song.

Red Red Wine by UB40. The very very worst song ever recorded.

Although thanks to the relentless and constant commercials for the movie, I think the theme song to “Mama Mia” is starting to overtake Red Red Wine for the “shoot me in the head if I have to listen to it one more time” title.

Today was my last day in the office.  Monday I start my new job (at the same company) - Instructional Designer.  I get to work 100 percent from home - yay!

I spent 2 years at that company doing training, and I’ll miss some people but man I’m glad to be moving on to something else!

My friend Elizabeth - our admin at work - sent me flowers last week and took me out to a VERY expensive steak dinner.  It beat the most expensive dinner I’ve ever had by a $50 margin, easy.  I’ll miss her the most.

My friend Dee, who I met at a previous job, sent me flowers at work today.

So I have two bouquets of flowers here at home.  I’m so spoiled!

The admin Tiffany, who just got promoted herself, took me out to lunch too.

Funny - when I found out 9 days ago that I got the job, I called Yo Yo Boy right away.  He never once asked me anything about it, or emailed me a congrats, nothing.  He didn’t even care.

Yet all of these other people are so supportive.  It really shows that Yo Yo Boy never even was a decent friend.

Have you met Spudgy? I think he is quite possibly the cutest dog ever whelped.  His mom is some sort of marketing genius because she took an old Pom who likes to sleep sitting up and blows bubbles out of his nose, and made him a star.

I first ran across Spudgy on YouTube, but his website pics are the best.  Especially “Spudgy’s Adventures”.  Go check out the pics.

Oh God that dog is cute!

Random Crap From My Hard Drive!

Oh happy pup!

Clever vintage ad.

I’ve just spent the past five days working in my shithole of a yard.  I got up at 5:30 every day, but still by 6:30 the bees and yellow jackets came out and I had to call it quits.  I’m so terrified of them.  Yesterday a yellowjacket caught me by surprise and I screamed and ran around the house.  I hope none of the neighbors saw me.

I think I got this from somethingawful.com

“Now little Susie, stop your crying.  The trip to the farm for the family reunion will only last a few days.  And as long as you don’t go to the barn alone with Cousin Elmer, you have nothing to be afraid of.”

Now that Yo Yo Boy has reminded me what it’s like to be treated like I’m completely unimportant, it’s no wonder that this postcard is my favorite out of this week’s Post Secrets.

Men, if you want a girl to fall out of love with you very, very quickly, neglect her.  Be sure to only call her when you’re returning her call, if that.  Wait 3-5 days before answering her email, if you ever do.  Make sure the email you finally send contains 1-2 short thoughts because she’s not even worth complete sentences.  Make sure you NEVER pay attention to her on weekends, because that time is too valuable to be wasted on her.

But after treating her like this, don’t be surprised if she refuses to come over at the 11th hour when you’re horny.

I was thrilled to see that Buns and Chou Chou had Janeane Garofalo on their show this week!
