My niece was supposed to come over to our house today, whilst the remainder of her family was involved with an Order of the Arrow event. She was going to spend part of the day, and possibly the night, with us.
Sadly, my sister-in-law woke up not feeling well. She thinks it’s something that’s been going around her classroom.

My son made a very distasteful joke on the car ride home from the scout campout. Apparently, it was something he heard from a classmate at school. Needless to say, I’m very angry.
I explained to him why what he said was wrong, and why it was wrong. I made him apologize to the scoutmaster (he was driving), and told him he’s no longer allowed to associate with that classmate. I’ve also banned him from any electronics for the rest of the day (and maybe longer).

Godsdamnit! My regular doctor was out sick yesterday, so his old man filled in for him. The dude sent my main prescription to the wrong pharmacy. So now I’ve got to call CVS and check whether what they gave me is a generic brand our not. The regular doctor cautioned me about generic brands for this particular medicine.
Still not sure how the doctor’s office screwed this up.

This year’s birthday gift from my daughter was a Star Trek book. A crappy, cheap ass Star Trek book, which sadly includes a lot of the crap modern Star Trek currently inflicting the world. That’s my wife’s fault, actually. She picked out the gift, and has no clue when it comes to Star Trek (among other things).
Unfortunately, I can’t get rid of the book. My daughter wrote a note to me in the front cover.

As the Advancement Chair for my son’s Scout Troop, I had the privilege this morning of sending in documentation for one of the scouts to earn his Eagle Rank. Hopefully, everything will be reviewed and approved without too much trouble. He’s a great young man, and has worked really hard to earn this.

My wife and brother have (mostly jokingly?) threatened to chloroform me, throw me in a trunk, and drive me over to the ER if I don't go myself. I keep trying to tell them it would be a waste of time and money, but they don't want to listen to that.
I didn't think I would be the one advocating patience in the face of insurance company intransigence (with, I'm sure, a large helping of greed) and doctor's office administrative incompetence, but there you go.
You're never too old to be surprised. Something which the Universe seems intent to keep teaching me.

Damn, some of my new co-workers are rude a-holes. One dude’s birthday was a week or two before mine. They sent around a card for us to sign. Then there was my birthday - nothing. Today I get an email from the secretary asking if we want to contribute for a gift for the young lady who sits next to me. Her birthday is next week.
No wonder I don’t like people.

My nephew’s Eagle Court of Honor is this weekend, and I found out some of my brother’s friends are apparently coming in town for it. Including one who’s a VP for the engineering firm I used to work for. The firm whose Houston office stabbed me in the back. Twice.
I’ll have to try and restrain myself from making rude comments. Though I may enjoy a bit asking how the Houston office is doing, already knowing the answer is…”not well”.
