You know you're gettin old when...

You know you're gettin old when the gifts at your work gift exchange (candles, christmas decorations, etc.) start to look like good gifts.

on another work related note, a little dilbert-esq mumbo-jumbo in the bank today...

Mission Statement: The mission of our bank is to offer traditional and innovative products, and to deliver unparalleled personalized services to our customers.

Not bad, but it sucks to realize that while I am giving new meaning to the phrase "too busy," others have time to come up with this cookie cutter corporate bullshit. Of course I'm on blogger for 2 minutes, but thats only because it was a nicer option than going postal...

dilbert

This picture rocks. I love dilbert. also, you should check the dilbert blog today (12-1). Very funny story about Scott Adams' brother getting out of eating his peas. His brother made a good point. Parents tell you what to do and justify it with tire cliches. If the kids are smart, its pretty easy to turn it around on the parents. Then they can fall back on the "because I own you" reason for the kid to do what they say.

and Im too busy to click the next blog button. but I really want to and probably will at least once as soon as I post this. also, I wish I was home not working.

Holiday drinking

yeah, 2 posts in one day. That's the way, uh-huh uh-huh, I like it...

So, I used the webtender to make sure I wasn't fucking these up, but I thought I would share some drinking plans with you that I am making for this month.

Adios Motherfucker (A.M.F.)
Ingredients: Vodka, Rum, Tequila, Gin, Blue Curacao, Sour mix, 7-Up
Mixing instructions: Pour shot of all ingredients into a chilled glass filled with ice cubes. Top with 7-Up and stir gently. NOTE: I have had this drink without the Sour and with less 7-up. Keep in mind that this requires more of the liquor to fill the glass, so… just like a Long-Island Iced Tea with less mixer, it will knock you out quicker than the original.

Yoda (heard about this from a co-worker/bartender. can't wait to try it)
Ingredients: Blue Curacao, Sour mix, Midori melon liqueur, Sour Apple Pucker, Vodka
Mixing instructions: Mix a shot of Sour Mix and Blue Curacao. Once those are mixed into a nice green color, add a shot of Midori and then 2 shots of Pucker. Finally add a splash of Vodka, then pour over ice. NOTE: Like Yoda, this drink is green and powerful. If you want a slightly less powerful Yoda, you can leave the Vodka out. If you want a more powerful drink, obviously add more Vodka. This drink is very sour, so feel free again to leave out the Sour Mix, which will make it stronger just like the AMF, because you will need more alcohol to fill the glass.

Creamsicle
Ingredients: Vanilla Liqueur, Orange Juice, Milk
Mixing instructions: Mix 2 shots Vanilla and Milk and 4 shots O.J and pour over ice. NOTE: Stronger versions include a little Vodka (try Vanilla Vodka to save money)

White Russian:
Ingredients: Kahlua, Light Cream, Vodka
Mixing instructions: 2 shots Vodka, 1 shot Kahlua, fill glass with Cream (or Milk) NOTE: I never make this drink like this. I always use Irish Cream and Milk, and generally use another flavor like vanilla, raspberry, caramel, peppermint, or just about any type of flavored schnapps or vodka. The important parts are the Kahlua, Milk, and Vodka for a kick. Then add flavors. My current favorites are the Caramel, Irish Cream, Milk, Kahlua and the Rasberry Vodka, Kahlua, Irish Cream, Milk versions.

In case you don’t feel the need to have all these alcohols around, you can also just get rum and coke, but remember, it’s the holidays, get the Spiced Rum (AYE CAPTAIN!) And don’t forget the peppermint schnapps and hot cocoa. If you aren’t driving and have the means, spring for the Rumple Minze. It’s about $20, but around this time of year it comes with some Christmas glass or mug, it’s at least 100 proof, and it is without a doubt the best peppermint alcohol out there. It rated a 95 out of 100 on the wine site I found the picture on. You can drink it straight as opposed to the cheap shit that has to be drowned in mixer. Plus while searching for a picture, I found this:
3 Strikes, You're Out recipe
1 oz Rumple Minze® peppermint liqueur
1 oz Goldschlager® cinnamon schnapps
1 oz Jagermeister® liqueur
Pour each liquor into a seperate shot glass. Take down each shot in quick succession. There are tons of different names (3 wise men, blitzkrieg, etc.) but they all want you to drink the 3 really good expensive liquors really fast. They can’t all be wrong can they?

next blog, funny pics, and trivia

the magic of the next blog button strikes again, but this time in the form of a random person on my blog instead of vice-versa (how come no one says versa-vice, and how come its not spelled vice-ah cause that's how it sounds...oh wait, saying it backwords makes it vice and not vice-ah. thats probably why the vice-versa order. it sounds better).

Anyways, stephanie found my blog, which is fun, cause hers led me to Curts blog. His post today is funny, and the last couple are good too. and its got pictures. which reminds me that I want to put more pictures on here, cause reading is always better with pictures. especially if you are in sex-ed. (but not the part of class about disease or the saxaphone penis, those pics are just fucking wrong)

so here are a few good ones. with a bunch more adult ones at signs

Also, Trivia. "At the end of the Charlie Brown Christmas Special, what song is sung by the Peanuts gang?"


damn, hopelessly addicted. http://thehoofer.blogspot.com/ a new site (acutally new today) which normally would have me skipping right by, but this one makes me want to check back to see what ends up on here.

and abby was looking for some PE Ideas, so she had me send her one from this site. http://www.pecentral.org/ Talk about ice breakers, use the little kid games at your next party...

dip

Slammin Artichoke Dip

2 cans of Artichokes (packed in water) Chopped
1 block of cream cheese softened
1 cup of mayonnaise
1 cup of Parmesan cheese
1 small can of green chilies

make sure the cream cheese and mayo are incorporated well before you add the rest.
mix all together, put into oven-safe dish and bake at 350 til bubbling.serve with tortilla scoop chips

found this on another blogger's site. wish I could give the link, but I am dumb and backed up on my browser then started a new post to cut and paste, and now I can't get back to her site. whoops.

also, How do you know the Holidays are here?
When it seems like no one at work is working except you. (and everyone has time off but you.)

If you notice, no one at the front counter, both bosses' offices empty. What you can't see is the next office also empty, and the other office has 3 ladies chattin about the outfits that just arrived mail-order. And me with work on my desk...Fuck that, whats on blogger?

oh yeah, just clicked the next blog button again. Apparantely there are more porn sites on blogger. and not all foreign sites are bad I guess... http://quasetodossexo.blogspot.com/

fun at work

Ever have a day where you have way too much to do... and you either:

A. freak out all day, don't feel like you get anything accomplished, and balance not caring and killing someone at the end of the day... all with the apptitude of a large circus chimp?
or
B. amazingly fit 12 hours worth of phone calls, paperwork, loan write-ups, copying, skipping lunch, going to the doctor, closing deals, advancing construction funds, and still put something random on your blog into 9 hours, becuase you are actually having a good day?

Today I am picking the 2nd one, cause because joking about an asian lady's accent (You Wok, instead of You Rock) with her and your other co-workers, and then singing to yourself "...Between a Wok, and a Hard Prace," becuase it's so funny for no reason. Also because although we have a staff meeting tonight, we are getting pizza for free. And I fucking love pizza. Even if we have to watch insanely stupid training videos made 2 years ago, but with actors from 1985. and their awesome haircuts and clothes.

Also, I clicked next blog a few times today, and earlier today actually found nothing good. Crazy, but just a bit ago, did find a few good blogs, and this one http://dudemanphat.blogspot.com/ which I thought was well put together. Man there a lot of foreign sites on blogger. If I haven't mentioned it before. Which I have. So the previous sentence is stupid. Screw you for judging me. And Check out Mulgrew's and Gina's sites in my blog list the last couple days. Pretty funny and thought-provoking.

Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays. And if you are in to hot chocolate, I have half a bottle of Ice 101 to liven up that second or third cup. :)
