my monday went crappy quick!

[vash]

get home...crack open sudsy goodness., and "RING!" my personal cell goes off, strange el paso phone number that i dont reconize....like a total idiot, i answer the phone.

ex girlfriend on the line! oh God! she immediately starts crying (we have never spoken since breaking up 5 yrs ago). she is babbling about being 9 month pregnant, and raving about existing 3 year old son. then she goes into how she quit loving her surgeon husband 3 years ago (yup, you do the math). she starts in on, "why do i keep picking the wrong man? is there something wrong with me?" at her first pause, i was, "how did you get this number,?"

not the answer i was looking for, but, "your brother gave it to me" DICK! do some minor "huh uh's and oh's? and i get her off the line.

so i call my mom's house to hunt the effer down. he says sorry up and down, and said he was ambushed...blah blah blah. then my mom gets on the phone and ask me who i am going to vote for. let's just say, that we had different answers. she gets all pissed off at me and hangs up on me. where is that dude with the tazor when you need it?

mondays........

Hm. One of our (my) IBM build systems died over the weekend, and turns out none of my backups were any good. At our Torrance site, the Sun box which hosts all their home directories and is their NIS server went tits up, and the local guy's last day is tomorrow (being laid off), so I wasn't gettin' a lot of love there.

I'm on my way out to the shop to do some last minute CB and ride height checks (translate: play with my toys) in prep for my alignment tomorrow.

LOL Cliff. Sorry for your troubles. Go out to the garage and take something apart. That always makes me feel better, and puts things in perspective. Porsche parts: important. Parents: don't understand. Ex GFs: crazy.

What we need is MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL!

You can either smack your brother around or thank him for reminding you why you broke up with the whacko.

For what it's worth my Monday sucked as well. Got in a fight w/ the girlfriend. Argghhh!!!

Ever notice that everyone else on the road is in a bad mood as well on Mondays?

[dd74]

I sure as hell noticed, Steve. A greasy SOB in a white Beemer wanted to race me on the 101 going West, in rush-hour traffic, and with the sun in our eyes. His words as he blipped his exhaust once he got up to me: "Got money, bro!" My response: "Nah, you're too fast." He had a cute girl with him, though.

Then, exiting Coldwater, I was almost side-swiped by a clown in a white Taurus who was talking on the cell phone and veering through traffic.

There's bad Mondays, and "bad L.A. traffic Mondays," I guess.

Some nights I'm sure glad I don't have a g/f. Thanks for the reminder. As to my Monday, work was crappy -- new a$$-load of interesting criminal cases that I've never seen before coming across my desk. There's nothing so frightening as hearing from a Command Master Chief who's been in the Navy for 28 years, "I've never seen anything like this before, and I don't know what to do."

(sigh) But it's ok, because I came home, drove to Tacoma, and took apart somebody else's 915. Yeah, life is good.

Right on David, no need to deal with clowns like that on the highway. What a dork. "Got money bro?" - How lame is that?

You should have told him, "No money, no honey". Which totally applies to him it sounds like. haha

[dd74]

Yeah. In retrospect I should have said, "Sure, I got money, bro. For Big Willow OTR. See you over there!"

About 3 yrs ago a psycho from 18 years ago called my house out of the blue. I knew her in TN before the Navy and never moved back. I have been in AZ for years and I was so flipped out that she called, I forgot to ask where she got my number. She was goin' on like it had been a few months since we hung out. I tried to keep it short and reminded her that "Uh, I'm married now. Uh, I've got 2 kids. Uh, heh, heh I have to go now. My wife is calling me. " She called 2 more times after midnight and the last call I just laid it out. "You can't be calling here like this. I have a family and I wish you good luck". She hasn't called since.




Oh great ! Now I went and jinxed it. My phone should be ringing any second now.

Full moon.

Must have been bad carma. Someone stole my race trailer Monday early AM. They couldn't get the coupler lock off, so they just perched it on a ball and drove off. They made it about 5 miles before the trailer fell off the back of their vehicle, rolled across the road and smashed into a tree. I got the trailer back, only a couple of hundred dollars in damages. Let's see, where did I put my gun?
