Thoughts on the Day

• Waiting until the day of a security audit to address issues that were pointed out to you a month ago does not make for a happy DaddyBear.
• Calling DaddyBear into a jury selection on a Monday afternoon, followed by calling him back the next morning to tell him if he's on the jury, followed by sending the jury home 5 minutes after announcing the selection doesn't do much for DaddyBear's attitude either.
• When you are openly hostile to the judge as you are being considered for a jury, please remember that 12 of us are going to have to deal with the damage you leave behind.
• It is never a good sign to see two uniformed police officers leaving a courthouse carrying a baby wrapped in a police coat.
• There must be a way to mathematically model the relationship between a given location's distance from the center of a city and the number of flashing ambulance and police lights that you see as you drive.  I see maybe one policeman and one ambulance a week out in my sleepy little area.  I swear their density grows logarithmically as I get closer to downtown.
• To the nice lady in the Subaru Forester with all the peace signs and COEXIST stickers: you're going to miss that finger when it gets broken off by a side mirror.
• If I can hear you eat while I listen to Metallica on my headphones, your mother just didn't raise you right.
• The left turn lane is for turning left people.  It's not a passing lane so you can make a right turn sooner.
• The work is done when it is done.  Asking me for a status report every 5 minutes is not going to hurry it up.
• Being married to an Irish redhead is sometimes like being Inspector Clouseau and paying your servant to try to kill you so you keep your edge.
• Coming home to Eskimo and Butterfly kisses, eating a warm meal, and making banana bread is a great way to end a very long day.
