What can I say? I have a way....

Things poop on me....it just happens. 

As a child it was always yard snakes or friend's pets.

A lovely day on the Ptown pier in college turned horrid when a flock of seagulls (not the cool 80's kind) divebombed me with military-like precision. I lost a perfectly good ice cream cone and had to purchase all new clothing. They actually manged to cover my shirt, shorts, and the cone all in one blast. (I was most upset about the cone.)

Several years ago, the interactive Penguin Experience at Mystic Aquarium (which was very cool by the way) ended with penguin poop. 20 people petted the penguin and then I touched it. Instant liquipoop! Personally, I was honored to be singled out by the penguin.

I've branched out. Yesterday I made a baby puke on me. I say "made" because I knew that leaning her too far forward had it's risks. The sweetspot of the situation was catching the puke with my foot so it didn't hit the carpet. Score!





Run for your lives! It's Cannibal Dog!





best product name choice ever!

Argh! Monkey Butt!!!

Available at fine stores between the wart remover and jock itch relief.

Hurry in! $1.00 Off!

I would have loved to be a part of the team that came up with this packaging. Can't you just see them all sitting around the boardroom table discussing possible product names and advertising images?

(I believe "monkey butt" is what others refer to as "swamp ass")

I can't decide what I like better - the monkey's big toothy smile, the thumbs up, or his giant flaming cheeks!

If you zoom in really close, there is also something interesting on the box to the left. I would think that men are uncomfortable with the idea of a target over their "area". Is this necessary? Would guys not know where the product goes otherwise?

Life is ruff........

Our freak of a dog never ceases to make me laugh. She lays in odd positions that rarely look comfortable.

This morning my husband got out of bed and she hopped up. I rolled over to find her on his pillow waiting for me to acknowledge her.

but don't worry, we have a solution

...a fun filled, er I mean water filled, trash can obstacle course! That's right! Now you can enjoy the challenge of walking the halls while avoiding water from the ceiling and skirting around inconveniently placed garbage receptacles! It's fun for all your employees!

and it's only getting worse

I took this shot several weeks ago. Since then I have watched new ceiling tile after new ceiling tile exchanged only to fill with water, bulge, and explode into many wet clumps. My personal favorite repair method is the white spray paint applied to the water marks on the ceiling tiles, in an effort to fool you into thinking nothing is wrong and the tile, which has absorbed a gallon of water, isn't about to fall on your head.

Quality repair

Coming in to work this morning I noticed clumps and flakes of plastery looking stuff all over the carpet in the hallway. Standing in the midst of the scattered debris I curiously looked up to see what had caused the mess and discovered this....above my head.

You may have to enlarge the picture for an accurate view but let me describe it to you in detail. Essentially it's garbage bags tucked all around a big hole.....Oh and a garbage pail balancing on assorted wires. (Based on the color of the wires, I'd say they're for one of the first floor offices internet and phone service, which is most likely out of service today because of this little set up.) What concerns me more, however, is that the garbage pail was obviously put there to gather the leaking water....which means it will get heavier and heavier as it fills....and it was over my head. I shouldn't be that surprised I suppose. After all, it is the umpteenth time that the ceiling tiles have collapsed in that hallway due to water damage. This was just the most creative repair thus far.

Enjoy the moments of your day and remember....look up! You may be surprised by what's there. Then again, a bird might poop in your eye. I didn't say it would be a pleasant surprise.
