DAYLIGHT SAVINGS, Halloween and the Broncos

FEELING:  sad, dejected, neglected, overworked, underpaid, unappreciated, misunderstood... I need a hug!

Its daylight savings time.  Have you set back your clocks?  I haven't yet, but thats okay because I still had several clocks that were never set forward in April.  I just had to figure out which ones were telling the correct time this morning and I was all set.  Here's the funny thing.... my clock on the computer was running slow for what ever reason... and had actually LOST an hour somewhere... I mean I would be pounding away at the keyboard before work, thinking I had lots of time, then shut down at a reasonable time, go upstairs and realize that I should have left the house 5 minutes ago!  Soooo, anyhow, with all the clocks in the house telling a different time I didn't know what to set the computer to, so I had this great idea... lets just wait until daylight savings kicks in, and the computer will automatically adjust itself!  I must have been under the influence of tequila (for medicinal purposes only, of course!) when I made that brilliant decision.  The computer did in fact adjust itself with daylight savings... but since it was already running one hour behind to begin with, when it made the adjustment back, it ended up where it should have been before daylight savings... which made it one hour ahead still.  I see that so clearly now.  Duhhhhhhhhh!

Today is Halloween.  I've been so busy being sick, fulfilling social obligations, and procrastinating over housework that I've forgetten to put together a costume for work.  Maybe I'll just go as a Bronco fan.  They are, after all playing today... during my shift I might add... and WITHOUT my esteemed presence.... thank you very much Mr. "No thanks, she doesn't want to go to the game, she'd rather stay home and pass out candy"!  Aghhh!  And I can't even watch the game at home... I'll be at work!  'Tis a sad time in BroncoLand.

TO HYPNOTIZE A DICKIDOO... or not.

Last night Dickidoo and I went to see a hypnotist.  This guy's name is Jac Rene, and he's a comedian/hypnotist.  I kept advising Steve not to volunteer, being as this was his first time there.  The volunteers are 'out' for the entire show, and I wanted him to enjoy it.  But, being the Dickidoo that he is, he insisted that he couldn't be hypnotized and therefore wanted to prove it.  Well heck, even I can hypnotize him!  I wiggled my fingers infront of his eyes and told him to watch them and "concentrate... concentrate... concentrate... and POOF!  You're a goofball!" (not the word I wanted to use, but you get the picture)

Now Steve stood there with that 'I told you so' look on his face until I informed him that he was infact hypnotized.  "I said you would be a goof ball and you are!"

The show was great.  Steve is too much of a control freak to succumb to hypnosis so he was eliminated in the early rounds... before the fun started, which was too bad since I had his credit card, and had he actually been able to be hypnotized, oh the fun I could have had... and he would have been at the mercy of my account of what really happened (or not... hehehehe).  Maybe next time......
