"Nuts" and bolts

(Conversation with a friend who owns a full scale K-9)

ME

How's non-work life?


HIM

I'm keeping myself busy with K-9...
Finally getting him fixed.

ME

So he won't have babies?
 

Morbid curiosity

Someone I know recently lost their only sibling and asked to speak at the funeral. They were told there's a time limit that all speakers must stick to. I told them to speak for as long as they want. Which begs the question... If someone speaks for longer than their "alloted time" at a funeral, does an organist start to play music louder and louder?
 

I have 3 pairs of scissors

One in the kitchen
One in the bathroom
And one by my desk.

I strongly believe in having duplicate items if you need it in more than one location and frequently find yourself stopping to go look for said item to see where the heck it was last used.

The first time I think I heard this philosophy was with regard to vacuum cleaners. Someone was saying that if you have more than one floor in your house, you should consider getting a vacuum cleaner for each floor, and leave it on its floor, instead of hauling one machine up and down the stairs all the time.

This made perfect sense to me. And scissors are way less expensive than vacuum cleaners!
 

Multitasking

Right now I'm:
  • doing laundry
  • mopping the floor
  • coloring my hair
  • and writing a blog post
Well... the laundry is in the dryer for 40 more minutes, the dye has to sit for 20 more minutes, and the Scooba is actually doing the mopping, but I'm still going to take credit for all the above!
