My Ebenezer

I’m going to try really hard to not use the word “sucks” in this post. Oops. Guess I just blew it. Oh well, at least I don’t tell you stuff like this. Go ahead and click the link, you know you want to. Claudia, hope you don’t mind the reference but i couldn’t resist. I’m still laughing.

It’s been a while since I’ve been on the road before 7am (what am I saying? before 10am) and I was surprised at how many people were out and about. You’d think most people leave their house for work or something…..

I was hoping to hear from M today about the sibling group but I guess she hasn’t gotten a notification yet. All we would find out this week is whether or not we’ve been selected to go to the four way. I have to confess that I’m getting a little bored with the adoption related posts so I may take a break from it for a while. I’ll keep you posted but there just isn’t much to say on that front right now.

I’d rather blog about stupid people because the world seems to be full of them. (here is where I’d like to say that Time Warner seems to have employed several of them……) I know that’s not nice but really now….as the comedian whose name I can’t remember would say, some people should have to wear signs. To warn of their stupidity. Like our waitress at Saltgrass the other night – when we asked, as our meal arrived, about the side order of shrimp we had ordered. “oh,” she says, “they didn’t bring those out?” Ya, they brought them. We just ate them along with the plate they came out on. Now we’d like more, please. DUH!

Because I know it isn’t nice to make fun of people (but I’ll continue to do it anyway) I’ll end with one of my own stupid stories. I use a headset for the online classes I teach and I recently bought a new one. This week, I have had…um, “issues” with it. All of the sudden, my voice cut out and the class could not hear me at all. I started checking for network problems, packet loss issues, etc….. and then I realized I had accidentally pressed the mute button on my new headset. This happened not once, not twice but three times. With the same class. I bet they are writing posts about they stupid instructor with mute button issues tonight.
