expect teh awesomeness…later
I’m in SQL 2005 class until Friday, ergo, my updates will be brief and/or late arriving. So while this entry is short and lame, expect a much more awesome post later.
[HERE IT IS...TEH MORE AWESOME POST]
Although I was in the SQL 2005 class all day, I did get a lot done during the day. I was Blackberrying to resolve issues left and right, using my breaks to write reports, and then the minivan was also done and picked that up on the way home. Speaking of the minivan, the other day after dropping it off at the Honda dealership, I got the pleasure of the Burns Honda Courtesy Crap Your Pants in Fear Van. I got home, removed the training wheels (I cursed a bit during said removal) from my son’s big bike and we took a ride to the land bridge and back. My wife made a kick ass dinner, I read stories to the kids, put them to bed, and then I made a plate of cookies and started well typing this…and yes, I know I misspelled the.
Back to the “courtesy” shuttle. The driver is an older guy and he drives like there’s some sort of contest to make the most people weep openly during a 5 minute ride as possible. He pulled into oncoming traffic to cut back into a left turn lane during rush hour to pull an illegal u-turn. Everyone in the van screamed as a corvette came barreling towards us. We made it unscathed, but a horn honk from a 40 year old compensating for something in the corvette and several 8 year old girl-esque screams from my co-riders served as reminders that this guy shouldn’t be driving go-karts. I think we’ll all be in post traumatic stress therapy tomorrow and still reeking from each other’s poo.
I’m going to make some music tonight and correct some of the issues with Threatmantic.

*taps foot*
Actually, I’m jealous of your class. We apparently do not believe in training around here….

LMAO – Namaste, bitches!

To think someone actually wasted their time writing and producing that. Is there a Pilates Action Squad out there?

Damn you stay busy Furious. Can I borrow some of your energy? I need to get out of bed tomorrow.

I think the same Shuttle driver is working up here in Canada. I’ve never been so scared in my life as I was during the times I let the Shuttle guy, who bore a startling resemblance to Bob Barker, drive my ass around town.

That’s funny, I was at a Microsoft archictecture/design patterns workshop yesterday.
I’m glad that the shuttle driver didn’t kill you … and congrats to Van Jr. for having his training wheels removed! That’s awesome.

actually he’s had his training wheels off his ‘little’ bike for almost a year…this was the removal of training wheels off his ‘big boy’ bike.
and mr. k…did you tell the service manager about the courtesy van guy driving like an asshole incident? you should! if he pulls that stunt and actually causes an accident there will soon be a new dealeship owner because someone will sue their ass for all they’re worth!

PapaDog – so you think I should cancel the pilot pitch trip I was planning for PAS? shit
corky – I’m fueled by cheap trucker’s speed and chocolate donuts.
mrs. k – yep, I did tell the service dept. they kind of laughed and said, “oh we know, he’s crazy” I explained in more detail the screaming passengers and crapping of pants. I asked him to take a ride on the shuttle sometime to see for himself.

A few weeks ago I had a 25 minute taxi ride that I thought would ultimately take me to a morgue, not home.
I had to close my eyes to keep my heart from lurching out of my chest.
