Well, Squash Me Like a Bug, Why Don'cha?

Well, I'm sitting on the R train in the two-seater that faces forward and have bags (of course) at my feet. I have the remainder of my Christmas presents that I was unable to carry all at once and my brand new Body Back Buddy, which was sticking way out of my bag. I'm reading from my Kindle. Everything is fine until a young guy sitting right in front of me on the three-seater that faces the center of the train decided to be chivalrous to the young woman who sat to his right. He must have shifted his butt to his left in order to wipe the seat down for her. The next minute he literally fell on my knee. For a moment I thought he was going to completely fall in my lap. Did he say a word to me? Naw!!!! It was as if it hadn't happened. He continued to clean the spot for Miss Lovely. Miss Lovely did notice what had happened and said (to him; not to me), "Oh, look what I made you do!!! You're so sweet." He continued with his Macbeth complex until there was nearly a whole in plastic seat. Only then did he slide into his entire seat and relax.

What's wrong with people? Does it mean that even, when you're trying to impress someone of the opposite sex, that you have to be totally clueless as to the fact that you might have (or did) hurt them when you fell on them?

No Creative Juices Flowing!!! :(

So sorry, my friends. I've not been entertaining you. My creative juices have been thwarted because I'm in a Word 2007 pilot program at work. I was invited (probably because I'm always complaining about the iniefficiency of certain functions). So, it appears that I am one of six in the entire firm of hundreds. Of course, today, my third day after conversion, I've been finding many, many glitches. So, I e-mail the techs immediately and continuously to let them know -- THIS SUCKS BIG TIME!!! I suggested that perhaps I could wait and collect my troubleshooting complaints and send them at one time. They breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, that would be wonderful!" Of course, ideally, that would be nice. But, I find that ever since I attended my miniscule two hours of training, got back to my office to find my computer ripped out from its moorings and replaced with another (all the settings changed, of course, and all the contents of my hard drive GONE; my beloved WordPerfect rudely removed), I have been incredibly busy with a multitude of court papers. And, today in particular, poltergeist was in full gear. So, I believe that the task force would love to throw me off the pilot team, but perhaps, they dare not. I will try to bring up as many functions that SUCK (which is not hard -- there are plenty of them). Now, let's hope that the Super Tech Gurus do not try to turn this around and say that I am the incompetent. Only time will tell.

I even offered to pay $250 a year for the return of my baby WordPerfect. They did not listen. I have a multitude of personal and work-related documents in WordPerfect that I definitely cannot access, although the techs tell me I can, but logging remotely. Tried that today. NO GOOD!!! I made sure to print and paste into an e-mail the very clear message that said WORDPERFECT IS NOT AVAILABLE THROUGH THIS APPLICATION!!!! Well, tomorrow, I have an offer to give them. Let's hope they can't refuse it.

I must put this aside and realize where my priorities lay.

Whew! I am very, very tired. Actually, I just had dinner at my community bar (all very unhealty comfort food). I found out (upon my departure) that tonight is game night. What does that mean? The manager was setting up all sorts of musical instrument gadgets for a game where you play the instruments. Oooooooh!!!! That sounds right up my alley. Play instruments that you have no clue how to play. If I don't konk out soon, perhaps I will return to see what it's all about.

Later.
