Vent&Intro

[ahsweetlee]

My day at work was like herding cats. A complete clusterfuck. I can do my bosses job better than her. End Vent

Oh, and I've been married 6ish months. I honestly don't sit there and count the days we've been together, it's just not that important. I've got two fur babies, and when I drink wine, I'm a hoot ;D

I love the word "clusterfuck". It is second only to the world "pummel" in my "favorite word" imaginary list.

We've been married 6 years now and I still sometimes don't know when our damn anniversary is. DH called me from Iraq at midnight to wish me happy anniversary and I had no idea why he was calling. He didn't say until I figured it out (because he knew I didn't know) and was toying with me. But how much harder can you suck than that? And I still didn't learn my lesson.

Sigh. I don't know why I felt like typing that out. Welcome.

Twat waffle, douche canoe, etc... as the situation requires. We call 'em like we see 'em.

Herding cats and clusterfuck are two of my favorites and are particularly applicable to my own work settings.

Also, I was like 27 years old before I heard the term herding cats. A really old, obese Southern man was talking to me about Hurricane Katrina and, well, yeah, it's pretty on target after a storm (sometimes literally.) I was like YES, that's it exactly!

I find it also is particularly apt when dealing with academics.
