...this place has just about gotten on my very last nerve. Voltaire said something like 'the perfect is the enemy of the good,' which is true, and even truer when bureaucrats have a hand in it, because the perfection being striven toward is usually perfect stupidity. I tell you what, people are something. Not quite sure what, though.
And I am unanimous in this.
Long night tonight--VBS again (runs through Thursday, actually), and when I get home I'm sure I will get to hear all about whatever happened with the picking up and dropping off of Oldest and the permitting test and what my exact level of culpability will be should anything be amiss, and then tomorrow I have my early morning regulatory meeting that requires me to be downtown very early which always puts me in a right cheerful mood. Then on to work, where I will have to do the paperwork, which puts me in an even more righter, even more cheerfuller mood.
Which means that tomorrow's Possumblog might be full of snouts and gristle.
You have been warned!
Posted by Terry Oglesby at June 7, 2005 04:06 PMAre playing any interesting roles in this year's VBS?
Posted by: Jordana at June 7, 2005 04:29 PMNo, this year I took a break--no Special Visitor, no teaching. We've got a lot of new folks, and they need to have something to do.
Although, I must say, at the moment I would dearly love to have me the jawbone of an ass to swing around.
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at June 7, 2005 04:33 PMSo it'll scrapple style possumblog tomorrow?
Posted by: Sarah G. at June 7, 2005 04:54 PMDepends on if anyone makes me the least bit angry.
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at June 7, 2005 04:56 PMHmmm...so far, I haven't SEEN any gristle today, and certainly no scrapple. Wonder what that means? (And what in the world IS scrapple?)
Posted by: Stan at June 8, 2005 11:04 AMHmmm snouts and gristle—the poor man’s Atkins.
Posted by: jim at June 8, 2005 11:26 AMI'm still waiting for the haggis and offal.
Posted by: Jordana at June 8, 2005 11:50 AMThat will be one order of haggis hold the oats—for the rotund gentleman.
Posted by: jim at June 8, 2005 12:05 PMOKAY, OKAY! Order up!
