Random crap from my hard driiiiiii- iiive!

(Click for big.) Sorry I didn’t save the credit for this pic. I can’t remember if I found this on a website or Flickr, but some guy recreates famous photos with legos and his work is fabulous.

Dance, damn you! Dance like the wind!

I object! To poor nutrition!

It’s random crap from my hard drive Monday!

We’ve all had days like this haven’t we?

And on days like that, we’ve all just got to remember to:

(from oddtodd.com)

(Click for big) - Raising kids, you need to keep on your toads.

Amen sistah.

(Click for big) - This was an awesome prank. Someone planted a new tree and put a cage around it so it wouldn’t be trampled or mowed over. One day they woke up to a mini “free the tree” protest. Too 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.”

Random Crap From My Hard Drive!

I don’t know… I’m sure something saved from my days on the Something Awful forums.

Still don’t know.

I love The Young Ones.

You know The Bunny Suicides?  This is one I made myself.

This is a logo from some NY restaurant that I distorted as a commentary about a story of some guy who was very proud of himself by throwing a milkshake on someone in an act of revenge.

Poor Mr. Orange!  (Have I posted this before?  Well, here it is again.)

We haven’t done a Random Crap from my Hard Drive Monday lately. Let’s do one, shall we?

How can one not love The Platypus?

My boss makes us spend hours writing weekly reports telling her how busy we are. She added a “sanity meter” and I took the concept and added pictures of my dog to it, with smartass meter designations.

I call this one “Gas Prices”.

Have a great week!

It’s Random Crap From My Hard Drive, bitches!

Today, I’m posting just one pic and telling a little story.

Now, for some reason my current job has just a handful of people who are not happy unless they are making someone else’s life miserable through insults, lying, backstabbing, and throwing unnecessary work my way just to prove they can. Despite the fact that everyone else there are delightful and awesome, I tend to find myself letting my day be ruined by the handful of hateful people.

One particularly bad day, with relationship drama from “that one guy” adding to my mood, I was feeling particularly down and kicked. I saw my friend E in the mail room and told her about my day. “I just wish a super hero would come and save me. Or at the very least, I wish I had something cute and comforting to hug,” I said. I saw a roll of paper towels on the counter. “Like this!” And I was hugging the roll of paper towels. “You’ll save me, won’t you Captain Absorbency?” And we both laughed! I laughed at my joke, and E probably laughed at my desperation.

The next day E, who is our admin, had a crack in her usually calm demeanor. She was furious about the mess that “someone” keeps making in the bathroom. For an office of nurses, there is more than one anonymous employee who sure doesn’t know about biohazardous waste. E often fields complaints of “someone shit all over the toilet again” and “there is pee everywhere in stall 3″. We had a rash of such events and E was about ready to post some signs in the bathroom that she’d surely get in trouble for.

So I made this for her and brought it in the next day. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you… CAPTAIN ABSORBENCY!

I’m late for work so a shorter Random Crap from my Hard Drive today.

But hey, don’t miss the post on my other blog where my parent’s dog Sparky gives home repair advice.

Love this pic of a nurse bandaging her dog. What do you think, about 1910? Back in the days where portraits were expensive and everyone was expected to pose a certain way, I love to see these more personalized ones.

This was me last week. I had a really, really bad week last week. My job is going not so very well, and there are currently no prospects for a new one. I interviewed for a job that I was more than qualified for, but I must have interviewed badly because they didn’t offer it to me (this was about three weeks ago that I interviewed). They wanted an RN with software training experience. I’m an RN and have spent the last year and a half training RNs on software. It’s not like there are tons of people out there with those qualifications.

So I’m feeling down and my confidence has really taken a hit. Add that to a coworker who, whenever there is no one within earshot, shoots out little passive aggressive comments on the fact I’m a bad person with a horrible personality, and I’m feeling kind of down right now.

Let’s hope this week is better!
