Captain Danger Bear is always willing, but only if the owl is poisonous.Of course, for a real twist, the tree could piddle on the wolf.That would be inappropiENT Tree-tment of that poor wolf... Sorry I'll just leaf now.*casts Charm Animal*
Oh, no. You're not going anywhere until you f**$ an owl.
Sounds good to me. Then I'll have poisonous owlbears.
And some pants.

My week of travel insanity is coming up. This Friday we fly out to Charlotte NC for an in-law's wedding. Then, because I'm running low on PT at work and I never know when I might land in the hospital for a week with staph or pneumonia or gods-know-what, I'm flying back to Phoenix to work next week while Ms. TS & kids drive up the coast. The following Friday I fly to Boston, where they pick me up and we continue on to the family reunion! Then we all come back to Phoenix two days later.
I tell ya, nobody I know better die or get hitched next year, 'cause I'm not going. >:|
Well I got a bug last night, it feels like the very same bug that I had last month, so no in-law wedding for me.
I could have gone if I were determined, but an already sleep-deprived TS plus a long layover in Denver and a 5am touchdown in Charlotte equals a sicker and miserable TS.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaalso, getting people sick just in time for the honeymoon is proooooooobably not your best bet... XD

If I had a dime for every time I've heard that...
How many dimes would you have, just out of curiosity?
And, on another note, you know what the breakfast of champions is?
Black pudding, that's what.

Just make sure you use bludgeoning on it before trying to eat it - otherwise it'll keep splitting and then you'll have black pudding everywhere and that's just a mess.

I think we all lost sight of what is truly important.
The Poisonous Owl is a kick ass name for a vigilante.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
And a cool band name, genre TBD.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Heavy death metal band...
or extinct rotating neck bird?

I was thinking more of Emo Industrial, but whatever works for you.

So, I have a good rage going this morning...
I then e-mailed Stan and told him that our mother was driving me crazy. He sent reassurances that yes, she was being utterly insane (as he put it, she hadn't been involved in the property in 10 years, and suddenly she wanted to re-do the entire landscaping around the house? Remotely?), and that I could safely ignore it all and he would work with her and the property manager.
And so yes, she called me again last night. To talk about the $%&$^&$# trees around the house. Again. After being told in no uncertain terms by two of her sons AND the property manager that she was to stop contacting me about it.
She's not senile. She's not lonely. She's just a %&^&%$ busybody, and since I'm the son closest to the property, I'm the one who gets all the ^&%$%*$ phone calls.
Grr...
EDIT: On the schadenfreude side, her insistence on interfering has now broken $10,000 in repair costs, with another $3000-$4000 coming up. And since they can't get tenants until she stops screwing around with the house, she's losing money hand over fist after firing me because I didn't charge my (very good) tenants enough rent. See the silver linings where you can, NobodysHome. Where you can...
NH: I just... that's... uh... wow.
Poisonous Owl: the three bands that named themselves after the vigilante; secretly, s/he's a member of all three...

Alas: it does only piercing and slashing damage - I mean, unless you throw it, but then you're just down one super awesome tool-of-choice...

I just realized weapon focus in Starfinder doesn't require a +1 BAB, that's pretty sweet.
I'm starting to get a headache, that's not.

Black pudding flavoured!
And the tactical spork could do bludgeoning damage, if you tied a brick to it.

I found out what the family Facebook fight this summer was about.
It's pretty ridiculous.

So, I have a good rage going this morning...
** spoiler omitted **
Use your caller ID, stop picking up the phone, and save your blood pressure.
Or treat her the same way you treat the telemarketer.Seriously.
If you keep picking up, you're telling her you're willing to listen to it, since you know what's coming.

Yeah, I was thinking of blocking her number, but...
...she's 86, has a very strongly-worded living will that pretty much says, "Do not put me on life support of any kind", and I'm the only one of her sons with the cajones to tell the doctors, "Yes, she really would rather die than receive life-extending medical care. Now leave her alone!" (It speaks volumes that she's living in Seattle with my other two brothers, but wanted me to have full medical power of attorney...)So at some point I may be getting an urgent call from that number that I HAVE to answer. Making it MUCH harder to block it. (That, plus birthdays, anniversaries, and such.)
But yeah, ignoring it until the house gets rented is probably a wise idea.

Why must I work tonight!
Oh right, when they tried to schedule me on Saturday mornings the two people they hired to take my place on Saturday nights called in sick, on Labor Day weekend, with the Badgers season opener in town.

This is what I do with my brother.
When she calls, cut her off, ask "is this about the house" she will say no, and then find a round about way of getting to the house, just keep repeating "is this about the house" eventually she'll have to say yes, at which point, hang up.
Hopefully, after a few months/years she'll give up and call about something else.

There are entirely too many parents from Tiny T-Rex's school here, so I hide.
Not because I care if they know I work here, but because I don't want to help them.

Today I broke a spoon while spooning leftover rice into a bowl. It was a tad undercooked, but let me tell you what that took skill!

I am having an interesting day of work so far. I walked in and found out that 1) I'm training a guy tonight, and 2) our General Manager quit about 2 months ago and nobody bothered to tell me. The new guy already knows how to do the computer, he's transferring from another property, so that's good. It means I mainly just need to show him where everything is. And knowing that the GM quit helps explain why things have been a mess for the last 6 weeks or so.
Been there done that... actually still there. both my gm and assist manager quit as well as 3 other employees all at the same time. we don't really have the many working here in the first place. Still short handed. huge influx of people right now too.

I'm a strong introvert but I also am easy to get along with. a good listener so everyone talks to me way too much. I'm also really good at hiding how annoyed I am at people that talk to me to much. XD
