Ratty Goes Back To Work

Today was 'back to work' after a week off...THANK GOD! Saw this rather cool sunrise on the way:





Ratty seemed rather happy to be back with her buddies, Baby Shit and Pinky. But I was shocked when I took Ratty out of my purse....seems the little wench snuck out and got another piercing....since she doesn't have a belly button...it looks like she had her tail/butt pierced....I knew this was a wicked little one:



She also snuck into my jewelry box and borrowed a different pair of my earrings...God love her though....she's into bling bling just like her owner:



Ratty was excited to see her buddies again...but the feeling was NOT mutual:



Baby Shit took it rather hard:



Pinky consoled Baby Shit:



Finally, Baby Shit reminded Ratty of just who the boss REALLY is around work, in case Ratty forgot while we were on vacation:



We had a nice sunset on the way home:



And this was just before the sun was completely gone:

Christmas Tree Is Up!

I put my Christmas tree up in the computer room on Friday....I see that I have an ornament that must be a long lost brother/cousin/something to one of Lexy's newest 'kids', Steve:



He just sits there on the tree and stares at me. Kinda freaky:



Here's the finished product....I'm not happy with the way it turned out this year, but I'm not going to re-do it.....screw it:

Saturday Driving

I got out of the house for a couple of hours this morning....took these while driving around town:































Damn it was windy today:




Here's a feeble attempt at a Christmas display in front of one of the 'upscale' shopping/eating areas of town:
And Ratty just couldn't wait to get her paws on my latest purchase:

Ratty Wears Earrings

Well, look who found my stash of bling bling earrings from the 80's:



You're missing one, Ratty. Next time, be sure to find the mate....dumbass. You're looking a little pale....maybe you should get some of this California sunshine:



Don't you think that sweatshirt is just a wee bit too big for you? If you could only see how ridiculous you look:



Hanging around with the Barbie Divas isn't going to make you cool, either....don't you know that cats love rats??:



Better get your smelly butt out of Biker Barbie's face...NEVER mess with a redheaded biker chick:



Dorothy doesn't look very impressed with you either....she's about ready to give Toto a reprieve, and stick you in her picnic basket as a present to The Wicked Witch:



Now, I can totally relate to what you're thinking here, Ratty....I've thought about humping Steve Young a time or two myself...handcuffs and a goal post baby:



You're asking for trouble by trying to butter up Steve Bear:



You never listen:



I see that Baby Shit bear isn't the only dominating one:



You aren't gaining very many friends....even the pumpkin doesn't like you:



Don't look so long in the tooth, Ratty....at least you're on top of SOMETHING, finally:

More Driving Vids

Yeah...shoot me...more driving videos. I had to make a Krispy Kreme run for mom this morning, so I took the camera along. I forgot to take Ratty along for a ride, damn it. And I don't know if I'm going to survive another 7 days of being home. Day 2 and I already want to blow my brains out.

Anyway....these are all in the north part of town....

Well Hell

Well hell....the 'Dogs gave the University of Spoiled Children all they could handle last night, but we couldn't contain their running back, Reggie Bush from racking up 513 all-purpose yards by himself, to help the Trojans win the game 50-42. What are 'all-purpose yards'? For those who don't follow football, it is the yardage that a player accumulates by rushing, receiving, and in Bush's case, returning kick-offs/punts.

Bush had:

294 yards rushing
68 yards receiving
151 yards on returns.

He was running around like a mad man. He is a strong candidate for the Heisman Trophy this year.

But we had them on the ropes in the first half....came out flat to start the second half. But we gave them a tough fight....one of the toughest they've had during USC's 33-game win streak. Good game, 'Dogs!
**********************************************


The leaves are falling, so I got outside yesterday afternoon and took some pics before they are all gone:



















And here's one of our males, Toby....please excuse the showing of the teeth....Toby is 9 years old, and he's lost some of his teeth with age....but he still runs around like a little puppy...and he's such a little lover:

I Love Teasing Raiders Fans

I had to go to the bank at lunchtime, and the male teller saw my 49er necklace hanging from my neck and he made some comment about how he should throw me out of the bank. I guessed correctly that he is a Raiders fan. After he completed my transaction, I re-counted the money he gave me, and told him that I needed to make sure he didn't shortchange me. He didn't know how to take it at first, then he said, "Awww, what...do you think all Raiders fans are crooks?" I just smiled and said Yep!

And I see work is almost complete on a Cheesecake Factory restaurant across the way from the bank. Mmmmmmm....cheesecake!

Car Wash/Freeway Drive

Yep...more boring videos! Hey, nothing else going with me to talk about....so you get videos....I'll bring Ratty home during my vacation and find out what kind of trouble she can get into. And I'll try to get out this weekend to take pictures of the beautiful colors while they are still here....the leaves are falling finally. But it's still in the lower 70's here....don't hate me! LOL

I had to get my car washed this morning...it was dirtied up from the small rain we had last week, and I just haven't had a chance to stop to get it washed....



I met Kathy for lunch up in the north part of town for Chinese....so I hopped on Freeway 41...this freeway will lead you up to Yosemite National Park...so if anyone has driven through Fresno to Yosemite, you've been on this stretch of road:



Yeah...I'm boring..........

Kathy, listen to the sound when you're alone...questionable language...LOL:

OK, LepVegas trekkers....HOW WAS THE WEEKEND??!! I'm sitting on pins and needles here!

One More Work Week

I hope everyone had a good weekend...ESPECIALLY those who were in LepVegas this weekend! Patty, I'm sorry I missed your first call! And I was so wiped out that I turned in early and missed your second call about the T-shirts. Next time, we'll be there in LepVegas for sure!!

I have this week to work, then I'm on vacation for 10 days. I was seriously thinking about cancelling most of it, because I just can't fathom hanging around home for that long, but I'll go ahead and keep it. I've already cancelled 2 vacations this year, so I need to use those hours in my vacation bank. Next week is the US Thanksgiving holiday. I need to start getting my Christmas decorations down, and put the trees up next week. I just love this time of year!

And yep....this guy is still as hot as he was in a 49er uniform - if you don't know who this is...you're not a football fan...what the hell is wrong with you?? LOL:





Here's a view of the scenery down our street, and the tree turning colors in front of the house across the street from ours...such a lovely sight to see when we look out of the dining room window:

Happy Friday

Happy Friday to all....and to those who are heading to Vegas for the Def Lep show on Sunday....HAVE A FANTASTIC TIME!!! Next time, we'll be there with ya!

It was a hella-foggy drive into work, thanks to some unexpected rain last night. Good thing we didn't go to the Boise State/FSU game! But it looked like it was a sold out stadium....and it was a GREAT game!

Our electricity went out at about 8:30, and didn't come back until after midnight. What sucks is that the neighbors behind us had lights, and the houses on the other side of the street had lights! It's always our little grid that seems to lose their power when the slightest rain hits. So needless to say, I'm in a rather bitchy, tired mood today.

The colors are finally exploding all over town:







Ratty just couldn't resist diving into my Diet Vanilla Coke from SONIC yesterday:



Have a good weekend!

Your Birthdate

Damn, this is SO true about me, it isn't EVEN funny! LOL

Your Birthdate: July 15

You take life as it is, and you find happiness in a variety of things.
You tend to be close to family and friends. But it's hard to get into your inner circle.
Making the little things wonderful is important to you, and you probably have an inviting home.
You seek harmony with others, but occasionally you have a very stubborn streak.

Your strength: Your intense optimism

Your weakness: You shy away from exploring your talents

Your power color: Jade

Your power symbol: Flower

Your power month: June

Just Say NO To Terrell



So, all of a sudden Terrell Owens is 'sorry' for his comments that he made last week about his quarterback, Donovan McNabb, and about the Philadelphia Eagles not formally recognizing his 100th touchdown catch. His mouth runneth over, and now he is suspended without pay. Oh, boo hoo....how in the world will you find the means to feed yourself now, T.O.?

Let's examine some of his whining comments, shall we?

"The mentality that I have, my greatest strength can also be my greatest weakness,"

No sh*t, Sherlock! Keep that flapping hole in your face shut, and you wouldn't find yourself in this situation!

"I'm a fighter. I've always been and I'll always be. I fight for what I think is right. In doing so, I alienated a lot of my fans and my teammates."

LMAO! You only fight for what is right FOR YOU....not for the good of any team you've been on. Maybe if you put your hands to use for catching the football, you'd have more than 100 TD's at this point. Butterfingers.

"This is very painful for me to be in this position," he said. "I know in my heart that I can help the team win the Super Bowl and not only be a dominant player, but also be a team player. I can bring that."

Yeah, surrrrrrre you can be a team player....keep thinking and preaching that and MAYBE someone dumb enough to believe you will pick you up next season.

"It really hurts me not to be part of the team anymore,"

The only thing it hurts is your pocketbook and ego. Go plead your case somewhere else, T.O. I'm sure as hell not listening...only laughing my fool head off. LOL!!!!

She's Getting Around

Rat B*tch took a little stroll over to the Chart Room this morning....scared the crap out of one of the gals over there (eyes blanked out to protect the innocent):



I did see Rat Bastard today, but I didn't have RB with me at the moment, so daddy will have to wait for another day for the introductions. RBastard seemed a little stressed at the moment, and rather late from his usual arrival time....so I left well enough alone for now.

Now if I could only figure out how to slap my annoying co-worker, and get away with it.........

I'm Not A Friggin' Mind Reader!

Our Senior Clerk called me a few minutes ago...I'm assuming she's working over at the hospital today instead of here in our office. We have large blue bags that we use to transport my work, and the mail from the hospital to our location, and vice versa. She called me to tell me that there would be several blue bags coming over, and I need to give what is inside to one of our temporary clerks. I told her they came over yesterday afternoon, but I sent them back to the hospital because they contained the progress note copies from the emergency room. She chuckled and said that they weren't supposed to come back over....I told her that I needed to be informed of these things, since I am usually the one who handles the blue bags! No one told me, so I sent them back. So she said they would be coming back over, and to give them to the Temp Clerk.

Jesus people....I'm not a f*cking mind reader!

And I'm getting sick and tired of listening to Mr. SnotHead's daily telephone conversations with his wife....in their native Thai language, whatever it is. Yesterday, I come back from lunch with a few minutes left, and he's on the damn phone (the company phone mind you) just rattling on, then his damned cell phone rings....he answers that, finishes that conversation....calls his wife back, and his cell phone rings AGAIN. He played this phone tag game about three times in the span of 5 minutes! I want to scream at him to take his damned phone OUTSIDE. I really don't care to hear his gibberish ruining my lunch!

Rat Bitch's Monday Morning Adventures

I wondered what sort of hijinks Rat Bitch got into over the weekend at the office. I came in to find Rat Bitch being totally ignored by Pinky and Baby Shit Bear. Why Baby Shit Bear? Well, take a look at the color....any moms out there will agree that they've found something very similiar in color in their kids' diapers once or twice:



You're not earning any brownie points by trying to hump BSB's back, Rat Bitch. Have you ever heard of simply joining the conversation??:



Great....now you've pissed Pinky off. Remember, RBitch....Pinky and BSB have more seniority than you. Just because you have that pretty pink rhinestone collar doesn't mean you can move up to the top in the stuffed toy kingdom. BSB is enjoying watching Pinky set you straight:



Don't get any ideas, RBitch....



I thought I told you on Friday....BACK OFF, BITCH!!! That Caramel Frap is mine...I don't want your slimy Bitch Juice all over the cup!



Alright...that does it...as a warning, THIS is where all bad stuffed animals go who lay their paws on my Frappucinos:



NOW what is going through that piddly little brain of yours?? Why are you gazing cross-eyed at that foam banana??



Oh geez....you're a horny little wench, aren't you? That banana is part of my employer's latest ad campaign to promote a healthier lifestyle...it's NOT meant to THRIVE at porno!:



What's this?? Oh, I see....you got jealous of your brother Order's spiffy new glasses over at Lex's place. But, I can see that you're a somewhat dense Rat Bitch...those aren't glasses, dumbshit, and it certainly isn't Mardi Gras time yet:



Not to mention the fact that your eyes are too close together...you can't even see out of that thing....I think maybe it serves you better as a butt bow...ohhh, look at you....aren't you just a fancy Bitch:



Well, at least you know a good photo when you see it...but stop drooling all over Joe:



DADDY....where are you???



Well, no introduction to your dad today, RBitch...but I did see his truck at about 11 AM, delivering something to T-Mobile again....I couldn't get a picture because the little Bastard ran into the store before I could catch him in the picture:



I have a feeling it will happen one day this week....keep the faith Rat Bitch. Stay tuned, kids.

On another subject....this tree down the street from our house always turns flame red every fall...I was getting worried because the color hasn't been as vibrant, until the past couple of days:

For you non-NFL football fans, this is Brandon Lloyd of my San Francisco 49ers making a FRIGGING AWESOME one-handed catch down near the goal line against the New York Giants. It would have been first and goal, but NOOOOOOOO...one of the offensive linemen got called for holding, wiping out this awesome catch. T.O. could take a few lessons from this kid:

Today's Tip Of The Day

Today's tip of the day comes from my personal experience last night at the Fresno State football game while waiting in line to buy a Pepsi:

Never hold the money that you are going to use to buy that Pepsi in the same hand that holds trash you throw away....the result? Your $5.00 goes into the trash dumpster along with the half-eaten Funnel Cake you are now full from, and throw away.

Yep....I threw a $5.00 bill into the trash by mistake, and I wasn't ABOUT to go dumpster diving to retrieve it. LOL

Hey! Come Back!

I took Rat Bitch to work with me today, in hopes of introducing to RB...but when I took her out back to the loading dock, he was nowhere to be found....then I heard that Brown truck coming up the parking lot, and he drove down the alley so fast....I wonder if he sensed a rat presence?? LOL When I left for lunch at noon, RB was over delivering a package to the T-Mobile store that shares our parking lot. I got in my car, and drove toward the street....noticing that RB was now behind me. I acted nonchalant, and kept driving toward the street....and he honked his horn behind me. So I have him a half-ass wave out of the window. Oh yes....someone needs to meet you, Rat Bastard. Next week, kiddies.

Rat Bitch seemed to enjoy the ride to work:





But Rat Bitch seemed to make herself at home in my cubicle....complete with trying to sneak a drink of my Caramel Frappucino:



Just BACK OFF, BITCH! And stop humping my Frappucino:



I introduced her to her new monitor mates, Pinky and Baby Shit bear, but it might take awhile for them to accept her....they have been there for a long time:



I'm sure Rat Bitch will blend in soon enough.

Finally, the trees are starting to explode with color around here:





Stay tuned for more Rat Bitch adventures....have a good weekend!

I must have the Rat Bitch, because I sure don't see any of the huge rat balls that Lexy's Rat Bastard is sporting:

More Colors

It's been rather warm here lately (80 degrees yesterday!), and the trees haven't really taken on their usual brilliant colors yet. But the trees in our parking lot are finally beginning to turn a nice red shade:





I took my camera along with me on my walk break the other day, and zoomed in on the trees by the Fairfield Inn a short distance from work:



But now that I think about it, the trees around here just start turning in November. Then in February the blossoms start popping out. So our 'winter' is relatively short in these parts.

Almost Made RB Drop A Box

So I went out to my lock box on the loading dock, and who is there? Rat Bastard in his brown truck. We exchanged greetings, and I asked him what he dressed up as for Halloween. He didn't, he said....he asked what I dressed up as....I told him I didn't, but that I used to dress up as a French Maid back in my McD's days. He almost dropped a parcel he was bringing out of the brown truck. He said, "REALLY!!! Damn, I'm sorry I missed that."

Hehehe....I'm so friggin' E*V*I*L sometimes. ;-)
