Don't name drop. It annoys everyone else, the person whose name is being dropped doesn't like it, and you reveal yourself to be the farking pretentious douchebag I suspected you to be.

Knowing/seeing/meeting/nearing interesting people doesn't make you somehow interesting by osmosis. Just stop it. Find something about you that I might care about, and tell me that instead.

Or at least that's what Carla Bruni told me when we were skiing in Switz last winter.

Millennial generation folks who think not replying to a call or text IS THE SAME as saying 'no'. IT ISN'T.

No matter how many times I read and re-read and re-read one of my neuropsych reports there will always be a typo of some sort, and I notice it or my patient notices it or the referring physician notices it after it has been signed and sent out.

Example: Header of the report lists the identifying information of the patient. In this case, Jane Smith, a 66 year old so and so.

First sentence of report: Jane Smith, a 42-year-old grandmother of three, is blah blah blah....

F*&K F#$K F@*k!!!!!!!!!!

First RA flare up in a while, it really sucks......

People who, upon being asked; "Is it A, or B?"...give you X. Several flavors; The Passive-Aggressive type, The Legend In Their Own Cube type...who may have read "The Smartest Guys In The Room..and now think they am one, and the just plain Stupid.

I am really upset about this. Childhood flashing before my eyes.

I know I should really be up already, but who the %$&# decided it's a good idea to blow leaves around with a motorized blower OUTSIDE MY WINDOW AT 8 AM FOR TWENTY MINUTES?!

Peeple like "this"!!!!

Thankfully I'm leaving for Portland tomorrow morning.

My 9yr old daughter is denied butter for her school lunch baked potato because of "caloric restrictions". The potato which she chose because she didn't want to eat the corn dog or cheese jammer alternative on that day's menu.

And yesterday find out her table is reprimanded for talking too much, so the group punished by making them all walk 3 laps around the playground at recess. She happens to have a booted, broken foot. Great example using a healthy activity as a punishment. And making a clearly injured young girl walk excessively. We've had a word.

Maybe she's just a great storyteller!

Leaf blowers. And every leaf blower-operating clown who thinks moving leaves from here to there on a windy day, or uselessly buffering leaves that are stuck to the sidewalk on a rainy day, is their "job." And the managers of supposedly green companies such as REI who can't read reports on the emissions of leaf blowers and deploy an army of here-to-there, who-cares-if-it's-stuck automatons every fall. Pick up a rake.

Oh, and GAAP, no reply means "yes." That's a better way to get people to reply.

[Saab2000]

When I'm elected POTUS I fully intend to sign an executive order immediately after saying "so help me God" banning all leaf blowers from the US. They are possibly the worst thing ever invented. Thanks for making me even more pissed off!

My 87 year old neighbor hacking a tree down in her yard at 630am.


I'm chapped that I do not have that much energy.

My wife has a Specialized Tricross. A brown one. She bought it at the first shop we looked at, the day after test riding it. To be fair, the shop was 2 blocks from our house, she likes the bike, and it fits her (at 5'3" that's no easy feat), but I had planned on taking her the following weekend to look at a few other options.

Anyway, the bike is now on the trainer in the den, which means I have to look at it while I watch television. It's ugly as sin. I put my rear trainer wheel/tire on it (old 32x Shimano/Mavic), but still, there is Zertz in my house.

I used to not be so shallow. I blame you guys.

You should see a few of the billboards here in South Florida. One with Obama bowing to a sheik showing gas price comparisons from 4 years ago (regardless of how inaccurate a picture of pricing it shows). Another says "Obama, Oy Vey, not again" (or something like "not again").

Today - vague project requirements and people thinking humorous comebacks are a substitute for bad programming practice - that's what's chapping my rear.

Along with the constant sound of sawing/shearing metal outside my m-i-l's building where I am currently "working".

Rush will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Is there not a Math Hall of Fame somewhere?
