I won!

Our blood sucking governor will not have any of my blood! Oh no she won’t!

I carried my back pack and holy water to the blood testing center, I was prepared to fight! My name was called and I sat down. The lady got ready to draw blood for the governor.

She checked one arm, she checked the other arm, and decided to settle for the left one. She got all ready and started trying to find a vein. After a full minute of patting and feeling around, she changed to my right arm. Finally she finds a vein that she likes. She sticks me with a needle and…. nothing. No blood. She starts moving the needle around, in and out, sideways. She must find blood for the governor! The governor is thirsty!

So she moved to my hand. Yes, my hand! She got some funky buttlerfly looking needle and stuck it in my hand! But my will was strong, and no blood would flow through that needle either. She kept poking, talking about my vein rolling away from the needle. Needle in. Needle out.

And she finally gave up and wrote “unable to obtain” on my paperwork so that the governor knows that she will have to do without my sweet, sweet blood.

Blood sucking governors

Today is the time of the year where, under the premise of a health check of all state of Kansas workers, they draw our blood and feed the governor.

Since this new program started, our governor went from this, to this.

Health check for our benefit? I think not!

Anatomy

A lady at work is telling me that her husband won’t be at the blog (aaaahhh!) meeting I’m going to because he has to go to the doctor regarding his catherer.

I added that a catherer is indeed more fun than going to that meeting. To which she replied: “you got it especially when they give you one that goes from your waist to your feet!!!!!!!!!!!”

I felt it was my duty to warn her by saying: “you should show them an anatomy book and point out the bladder”

Today’s buzz word

Make sure you all scream whenever you hear the word “blog”. That’s today’s buzz word!

I got a call the other day asking me if I knew anything about blogs (aaaahhh!) It turns out that one of our big wigs on campus has heard that blogging (aaaahhh!) is a hot new content fad and he wants someone to come talk about it. I guess he said that he may want to start a blog (aaaahhh!) of his own on campus.

So I had to dress nicely and this afternoon I’ll go to a room full of suits where I’ll pass out a print out of someone’s blog (aaaahhh!) - definitely not mine though, if you have any suggestions as to which blog (aaaahhh!) I should print, please post it as a comment.

Dentist fun

So in 5 minutes I’ll head out to go see a guy I see twice a year. I’m not sure what his name is, but he is a dentist. He sticks his hands in my mouth and cleans my teeth and sometimes makes it hurt. I hate going there. I’ve been dreading it all week.

But as I leave his office I will know that I won’t have to see him for another 6 months.

I met someone today

Today I got to meet Adam of ofadam.com, a much nicer site than mine.

I recognized him immediately so I went up and introduced myself. He is taller than I pictured and just as skinny!

Yum!

Some religious organization has its panties in a bunch about Disneyworld’s gay days. So they are posting pictures of what you may see at parties. If they keep posting pictures like this (not safe for work), I’m afraid that they may be helping the cause they hate so much.

Their “Beware” page is also rather handy. Thank you for taking the time to do this research for the rest of us.

Spamantastic!

For those who think that spam is not much a problem, just a small annoyance, here is a summary of e-mail received on Saturday:

That means that 359 emails came in a 24 hr period. Out of those 8 were legit, and 351 were spam. And that’s actually a good day. Thank jebus for spam filtering.
