One minute I held the key, next the walls were closed on me
Top-10 reasons why I've not posted in over a month:
- 10. Work got wicked-crazy due to our annual event being held and one of my (former) co-workers getting axed right before it and me
havinggetting to cover the vacancy until it was filled last week.
(Notwithstanding the catch-up work involved, nor the project that got taken off hold--whole "when it rains, it pours" bit, and not the Morton salt variety.) - 9. I wanted to finish another tale in The Canterbury Tales before I did my next post (I've gotten through the Knight's and the Miller's), but instead read 13 Things That Don't Make Sense and Anathem.
(I've now started Of Human Bondage) - 8. I was waiting for the hot water to return to the men's locker room showers at the pool.
(finally Jeff!) - 7. I got distracted by Obama/McCain radio spots, and had to wait until the "choose-a-side" coffee cups came to 7-Eleven.
(They've even got an "Independent" option.) - 6. I was in Austin the weekend that Hurricane Ike hit Galveston/Houston, catching the (very) outer bans of the storm, and it took me a wee bit to recover.
- 5. I was so traumatized when I learned that Rihanna says "disturbia" and not "start/stir me up", that I had to wait until the song wasn't stuck in my head anymore before posting.
(so much for a Rolling Stones homage) - 4. USA Swimming switching from a Top-16s to Top-10s threw me, even though I've known it's been coming for a year and a half.
(Hey! This is a top-1o too!) - 3. I miss that Gap commercial that so cleverly utilized Earth, Wind & Fire's September and was waiting for the 21st night to post but then waited too long.
(so you could say that I didn't remember...) - 2. I got lost in contemplation about how the translation of the Olympic motto, Citius, Altius, Fortius, seems to have changed to a superlative (i.e. from -er to -est).
(and how inappropriate I feel that is) - 1. I wanted to make the last post Linger.
(and was giving everyone enough time to post a comment)
For some reason, I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call me name
Never an honest word
But that was when I rule the world
