What the hell?

Laughter does wonders

Today I kind of felt a crappy mood growing. Don't ask me why, but it was lurking.

Don't get me wrong, the interview went well. Blah blah blah. Lots of head nodding and smiles. Chuckles even. Then I was pre--empted for a scheduled meeting. Yay, the interview was 1.5 hours. Uh, right. I missed the 11.14 by 3 minutes. Three!

Sidenote Plus I reallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreally want the job I interviewed for the week before last. Really. I can do the job we spoke about today. But, well, I know you can't be choosy in this economy. But my body is screaming for a change. Fingers crossed. I am going to follow my thank you note with either a) an email or alternatively b) a phone call. Not sure yet which is better or worse.)

So, combining the LIRR with wet weather, driving, and assorted interactions with incredibly slow cashiers put me in a combustible foul mood. Then I read through Dave Barry's previous columns at the Miami Herald. (a link to his personal blog, davebarry.com.) Trisha posted a link to DB's take on the LOTR (An acronym which took me days to decipher. Obviously not a true fan, I was bedazzled (like the infomercial product) buy the continual reference.)

*So* funny.

Anyhoo, it was the Gift Giving Guide that made me finally bust out laughing. Who is keeping the funeral depot in business?? (check out the themed section)

Thanks Trisha.
