Well yet another week has come to an end, a quick one this time. Well, at least we can spend the weekends at home.

IN PRISON... you spend the majority of your time in an 8X10 cell.
AT WORK... you spend the majority of your time in a 6X8 cubicle.

IN PRISON... you get three meals a day.
AT WORK... you only get a break for one meal and you have to pay for it.

IN PRISON... you get time off for good behavior.
AT WORK... you get more work for good behavior.

IN PRISON... the guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you.
AT WORK... you must carry around a security card and open all the doors for yourself.

IN PRISON... you can watch TV and play games.
AT WORK... you get fired for watching TV and playing games.

IN PRISON... you get your own toilet.
AT WORK... you have to share with some idiot who pees on the seat.

IN PRISON...they allow your family and friends to visit.
AT WORK...you can't even speak to your family.

IN PRISON... all expenses are paid by the taxpayers with no work required
AT WORK... you get to pay all the expenses to go to work and then they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners.

IN PRISON... you spend most of your life inside bars wanting to get out.
AT WORK... you spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars.

IN PRISON... you must deal with sadistic wardens.
AT WORK... they are called managers.

So why is it, again, that we work?

Have an excellent weekend everyone! :)

... or become insane... that way, I could go to an asylum and my kids could get my social security for me being disabled... or maybe I can figure some other way to become disabled, and THEN I can just stay home with the kids and collect the money I've been putting into social security all these years... before the government spends it all!!!

Admit to like working IT and admit that you are a "Certified" Microsoft Partner that will get you locked away for assessment and then allowed home under constant medication so you can just look at a blank wall and the paint pealing off it and think that it's amazing.

But you might not be able to afford the Drugs as I understand that they are really expensive in the US. :^O

I can't admit to being a Certifiable MS Professional... I can only admit to aspiring to become one... does that make me insane or just a wannabe? Actually, I really don't WANT to become a MCP, but it would appear that my career requires it. Blech!!! If I can do the damn job, why do I need the letters on my resume? It just doesn't make sense to me... but then, I'm a logical woman (oxymoron?) and I tend to get myself in trouble being too honest in job interviews.

by oz_media

Just copy and paste some of my posts, the white coats will be looking for you in no time. ;)

by jessie

that admitting I enjoy my five children would be grounds for SOME KIND OF INSANITY disability... but alas... it's not worked so far.

A blind man wanders into a lesbian biker bar by mistake.
He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a drink.
After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, "Hey, you wanna
hear a blonde joke?"
1. The bar immediately falls absolutely quiet.
In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, "Before you tell
that joke, sir, I think it is only fair -- given that you are blind -- that
you should know five things:
1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.
2. The bouncer is a blonde girl.
3. I'm a 6 foot tall, 175 lb. blonde woman with a black belt in karate.
4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weightlifter.
5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.
Now, think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?
The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head, and mutters, "Nah...not
if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."

Come to Australia where you might accidentally get killed....

Still my favorite tourist line from a song about visiting "down under."

by hal 9000

What ever made you think it would be accidental? We do things the right way here and then just blame it on the Fauna. :p

that's gotta be some mighty strong beer there...

where can I get some? ]:)

This is exactly what makes beer GOOD. Sheeesh, women will just never get it.

by shorne

man...I clicked on the wrong link and got your baby pictures..and was trying to figure out "why is beer bad because of a baby"??? All I could think was beer+guy+girl=baby. I'll be more careful clicking next time. Beautiful baby by the way!

You guys did good :)

Wishing that on such a nice looking baby, With a bit of luck her mother & Father will bring her up right so she has nothing at all to do with computers other than treat them all as a disposable consumer item. :)

Now go and wash out your mouth with soapy water for even thinking such evil thoughts on such a nice young baby. :p

by hal 9000

Have you ever gone to an interview and asked "What do you have to offer me that would make me want to work here?" ;)

When you get to that stage you're way past it in the sanity stakes I know as that was how I used to approach interviews. At one I was so bad that the project never went ahead because I told than that following every one of their safety procedures I could create a Fission reaction that would take out all of Sydney in the Blink of an Eye. Some fools wanted to put me in charge of a Cyclotron. :^O

There where 2 distinct groups there the Industry Guys all of whom knew me and how I would behave and then the Bureaucrats who thought that they where interviewing me for the position and couldn't quite handle my attitude in asking them all "What's in it for me?" From that point on things went downhill fast which is really a shame as we do need that cyclotron here but the bureaucrats can not come to terms with the fact that they don't know it all and they may get some reckless person like me who does the right thing and ignores them at every opportunity. :D

At that particular installation there was a Greenpeace protest and the protesters just walked through the main gate past the security guy which I find unpardonable but the Bureaucrats thought it was A OK because no one actually got inside the Reactor Building. If I was running the place they wouldn't have even got onto the grounds let alone be allowed to stroll as they liked through the front gate. :)

Good to hear Bubs is doing OK but when she gets older she'll not thank you for all that Fat that you have piled on her now. :p

I'm working on my MCSD in .NET 2003 right now.

Used to be you could learn it and do your work.

Now ya gotta pay $150 per exam and carry around a piece of paper to prove you learned it.

by jessie

most of what they make you learn is worthless in the real world anyway. I know so many moron's with MCSEs, it's stupid! I have to get this stupid piece of paper just to have the chance to prove I can do what this moron with the same piece of paper can't do. >:(

But you also have breasts, which seems to be an impediment. I've never quite understood that. I mean, we girls don't think with our breasts..unlike, well, I won't go there.

It was my wife's birthday yesterday so when I got home from work last night she demanded I take her out to some place expensive.........So I took her to a gas station.

by oz_media

Nobody stole the POS hardware at the counter though.

I wonder if she pulled her gun to get the last size 20 mumu?

by jdclyde

is because of the two women that did this, it makes it look to the less intellegent observer that ALL the cops are looting and ransacking the city.

I hope they got a big load with that trip, because I can say certainly that they will not EVER be cops again, anywhere in the world and the WORLD has seen the two of them as the scumbags that they are.

by oz_media

I wouldn't be surprise dif other cops were up to similar crimes too, you never know but I think it's most likely they weren't the only ones. They said most cops just took off out of town, it was pretty wild from what I've seen.

But you're right on one thing, they won't even be getting graveyard security jobs at a building site.

by ozi eagle

Don't know about anyone else, but I got a screen ful of sex ads, some of which caused my monitor to fog up.

by m_a_r_k

I forgot to warn people about those ads. That kind of smut is so ubiquitous on the Internet these days, I absentmindely ignore them and click my way past them. Good thing I accessed that site from home instead of work though. I might have gotten fired for suppoosedly accessing porn sites from work. Yikes!

Number 19 is straight out of the Monty Python Movie The Meaning of Life where the Good Catholic family has to sell off all of their children for Medical Experimentation as they can no longer afford to feed the growning band.

Of course with Petrol over here nudging $5.50 AU per US Gallon things are getting that bad I've been asking how much I could get for my children now. But what I've been offered will not even fill an almost full tank apparently there is an over supply of children for medical experimentation at the moment. :^O

by maecuff

It would have come in handy to have given birth to a freak of nature. I'm sure they are in high demand. Unfortunately, my children are boringly normal, ranging between married, college student, stoner (who is on his mother's bad side) and uber intelligent 4 year old.

(yeah, it's me again!)

An elderly woman returns home to find her husband in bed with a young girls. Enraged, she flings him out of the window and watches him plummet to his death.

At her trial, she pleads not guilty to murder. "How can you plead not guilty?" asks the prosecuting lawyer.

The wife replies " I didn't know he was going to die. I reckoned if he could still commit adultery at the age of 98, there was a good chance he could fly, too"

Why don't women blink during foreplay? They don't have time....

We were at Fry's picking up a DIMM memory module. You order it like a drive thru on one aisle and they actually give it to you at the checkout when you've paid for it.

I put it on my card, rang up $70. My gal friend looks at it and says "Somehow I thought it would be bigger!" The cashier was cracking up, and I had to explain to her, "Sweetie, that is not something a guy wants to hear!"

by jdclyde

a wall that has an erection. And if I EVER DO see one, let me tell you I have NO intention of walking into it.

Now if a WOMAN walks into it, she might get poked!

Think about that one!

:p

by jessie

the lower a man's IQ gets... have you noticed this? Small chested women, can on occassion have an intelligent conversation with a man without him staring at her chest (rare but possible) but the bigger the cups, the dumber men get! I swear! I'm gonna start wearing a sign across my boobs that says "Look UP" with an arrow towards my face!

by oz_media

That falls under the wovey-dovey-sweetie-pie exemption. Believe it or not, some people actually think it's normal to not beat and maim little children.

by maecuff

since you just had a kid. Got to be worse than usual. I used to be a consultant and was assigned to help a junior programmer with his coding skills. I swear, if you asked him, he wouldn't be able to tell you what color my eyes are, but I bet he'd know my bra size. And truthfully, he wasn't a bad guy. Disappointing, but not overly surprising..

by jaqui

what about when the guy knows bra size better than the girl?
I've picked out bras for female friends and they fit better than the one's the girls were picking. she was off by a cup size.

btw, her eyes are green.
her hair is brown

5'10"
38D
28"
26"
135lbs
( last time I saw her )

but for me, eyes are what really catch my attention on a woman. :)

I have a soft spot for almond shaped brown eyes, and long dark hair.

For my son 31 this year. He has a blood vessel which didn't close off after birth so when he was in his late 20's he had to go in for surgery to block off this blood vessel. Unfortunately as we where going there a fully loaded refrigerated truck rear ended us and destroyed a perfectly good just restored Classic Mercedes. What was even worse is it was one that I had bought for my wife and I was driving it. :(

The wreckage is still sitting in the driveway until the legal stuff is finished but didn't I cop heaps for that one. My son on the other hand was watching the whole thing all I saw was a flash of white before the impact and since he had to be at the meat-works I was left with the car until the Police arrived and did their business and then tried to give me a ticket for wanting to move the wreck. They where very outspoken until some idiot came around the corner and hit the Police Car which meant another round of statements and a very long wait and then they wanted the Mercedes moved. :)

But of course the operation failed and the surgical team had a .5 inch stainless shunt going around my sons blood system one of the few times that I would have liked to be in the OR as it would have been interesting seeing them trying to retrieve it before it killed him. Of course being the obnoxious brat that he is he just went to sleep and didn't care. Apparently the video of that procedure is a Must See for any Cardiac Surgeons and I did see the shunt a nasty looking piece of hardware with very sharp spikes on the outside of it.

When he was woken up he had a nurse hovering over him with the same surname and his first comment was "When did you marry me and what's worse how am I going to explain this to my girlfriend outside?" Anyway the cardiac Surgeon came around and with all the family around and his new wife :D showed him the bit that they lost and then offered him two alternatives one was to wait for a new device to be made available from the US and the other was to crack his chest and clamp the blood vessel for some strange reason he chose the first option as that was inserted with a laparscope through a small incision in the right leg {again.} Anyway he was worth far more before the repair was done so now he is a worthless piece of meat that isn't even worth the butchering fees. :(

My daughter on the other hand is as normal as you can expect a 29 year old to be who's just returned from a Round the World Trip as soon as she landed she was on the phone telling us that she was home safely and wanting some money. :^O

They're cute and all when they are little, but damn, after that, they go around making bad decisions, almost dying and everything in between. It's no wonder I spend so much money getting my hair dyed..

by hal 9000

If we knew then what we know now! There would never have been any kids and we would have a lot more play toys as well. ;)

They are just too Expensive and Time Sapping to really be worth the effort. I really think that having kids is a sign of insanity and should be treated as such. :^O

Recently over here one comic came out with one of the Pollies being inundated with kids and said "Well you paid us to have them {In a Baby Bonus} and we don't like them so we are returning them to you for a refund!" The way it was portrayed was very funny particularly after the Polly in question had been boasting that he was responsible for so many children being born. He was claiming that he was responsible for something like 100,000 new babies. :)

Back when I was a shop rat, this young pup was bragging that when he does it with his girlfriend they go for two or three hours.

I calmly looked at him and said "Yeah, before I learned how it used to take that long. Now it is five minutes tops, and if she isn't down there are batteries in the top drawer!" :O

Oh the look on his face was just priceless! :^O

by jdclyde

between evacuating like everyone else and taking part of the looting.

Until there is evidence of more than just these two women, I will continue to give them the benifit of the doubt. I personally will not condemn every cop just because of what these two have done, will you?

I also would not blame them at all if they evacuated. That is what you do, get yourself out of danger, THEN you help take care of the problem or you become part of the problem.

I just moved back here from Port Hardy, everyone I saw was wearing a mack. :D

Actually I think I might have seen it before, just a distant foggy memory, perhaps deja vu?

by jaqui

A firefighter is working on an engine outside the station, when he notices a little girl nearby in a little red wagon with little ladders hung off the sides and a garden hose tightly coiled in the middle. The girl is wearing a firefighter's helmet. The wagon is being pulled by her dog and her cat.

The firefighter walks over to take a closer look. "That sure is a nice fire truck," the fire fighter says with admiration. "Thanks," the girl says.

The firefighter looks a little closer and notices the girl has tied the wagon to her dog's collar and to the cat's testicles. "Little partner," the firefighter says, "I don't want to tell you how to run your rig, but if you were to tie that rope around the cat's collar too, I think you could go faster."

The little girl replies thoughtfully, "You're probably right, but then I wouldn't have a siren."

Hurts all over

A young woman said to her doctor, "You have to help me, I hurt all over."
"What do you mean?" said the doctor.
The woman touched her right knee with her index finger and yelled, "Ow, that hurts."
Then she touched her left cheek and again yelled, "Ouch! That hurts, too."
Then she touched her right earlobe. "Ow, even THAT hurts."
The doctor asked the woman, "Are you a natural blonde?"
"yes," she said.
"I thought so," said the doctor. "You have a sprained finger."

Alcy Vs Drunk

Q: What's the difference between a drunk and an alcoholic?

A: A drunk doesn't have to go to those stupid meetings.

by maecuff

Pissed, to me, means angry. Which, from time to time isn't all that unpleasant. You meant drunk, buzzed...whatever. We're on the same page. My mother in law and her mother are at our house through Sunday, I plan on spending the rest of the week pissed. In one way or another.

by jamesrl

The World is a very big place....

Pissed in Southern Ontario where I grew up, meant drunk. So did stoned btw, at least to my parents generation. That usage has changed over time, and my usage of the older form led to some interesting misunderstandings in my younger days.

James

by oz_media

Tanked, gooned, FUBAR, wrecked, bent, legeless (a personal fav), smashed, f-kd up, plastered, done in, yup there's a bunch of them, and a bunch mroe too.
Never heard 'stoned' as being pissed though, but hey, Im not that old. ;)
