Anyone want a tractor?



Here are just a few members of the local teenage community. If you click on the pic, you can better appreciate just how far down on the ass the pants are on the kid on the right. I'm not sure why he bothered putting on his pants. He almost pulled them off while he was digging in a back pocket for his cigs.




My landlord put one of his tractors in the front yard with a for sale sign. So far no takers. If you'd like to make an offer, let me know.

As you can tell, I continue to suck with my updating. If only I felt less guilt at the idea of updating at work, maybe things would be different. I seem to have no issue watching video clips from Pulp Fiction however. I am going as Uma Thurman's character for Halloween.

Now, I know, I look NOTHING like Uma. But, I need an easy costume for a party that is taking place after work. The current debate revolves around whether or not I am going to bloody my face and shirt. I am going as post over dose Mia. I have a fake needle that will be sticking out of my chest. To really be accurate, I need to have a bloody nose, blood on my shirt, and an orange dot on the skin just above a black bra. Now, I am going to a party where we are playing a trivia game and my friend's parents have already snagged me for their team. The girls don't come out much, let alone in front of parental units. The orange dot and black bra thing won't be happening, but somehow I think I need the blood. Any thoughts?

Returning to work after a week off was a little weird. The night before I had a dream about selecting air conditioning. The big drama moment of the week revolved around the purchasing of some new office chairs. When I first got hired, I was told I could order a chair. The one I had been using was the spare chair that sort of made it's way around the office till people picked out their own. Disney was also told she could order a chair. She opted not to because she really liked the chair that came with her office. She claimed it was comfy and the person who it used to belong to had gotten it not that long ago.

Our office manager's chair has enough rips in it that the stuffing is starting to fall out. She and one of the new hires ordered new chairs and they came in on Tues. They were pretty decent chairs...leather with high backs. As soon as she realized someone had something nicer than what she had, Disney went to our direct boss and claimed that she just kept forgetting to order a chair. She knew it had been over a year, but her chair wasn't comfortable and she needed more back support. Blah, blah, blah...can I get a new chair.

Of course he said yes, so she had a new chair as of Thurs. or Friday. I am convinced she got the most expensive one. She went around testing everyone's chairs; except mine, I'm sure it was too low brow for her. Our accountant has a super nice chair. She asked our supply purchaser if she could have one like his and the purchaser told her that if she wanted to fork over $1,000 she'd be happy to get it for her. The purchaser was probably joking, but you get the idea of the cost of the chair. At any rate, she found something she liked. It is leather with a high back. I think it would be call an "executive" chair. It is much more stylized than the other office chairs and I'm sure it cost a pretty penny. I sat in it when she'd left for the day and it was uncomfortable. It didn't seem to have very good lumbar support, in my opinion.

I guess I shouldn't expect anything to be different just because I was gone for 5 days.
