Revival of the angry thread!

[AuburnJen92]

Well, thats because the CM is sniffing Liquid Paper between phone calls.

i am blaming it on the full moon, it worked for everything else today!

i am calling back later on this week when the full moon goes away and all the crazies go back into hiding again...

That is pretty standard. It used to be 10 days for AAA reservations. I've had to split up reservations bunches of times to receive discounts.

that is what i will probably do, cuz the rack rate is gonna cause me to cut days anyway!

Does anyone know where I can find the "Revival of the angry thread!" ?

Today has been one of those days I should have stayed in bed!

On my way to the office this morning, I'm driving down the highway minding my own business when, out of nowhere, THUD!!!! A dead squirrel lands on the hood of my truck! There were no trees, no power lines overhead....nothing that a squirrel could have fallen from. "Okay", thinks I, "perhaps a hawk or other bird of prey lost it's grip & I was at the wrong place at the wrong time." I just keep moving down the highway.

Then, I enter the church parking lot only to find about 60 or more dead fish scattered in the parking lot!!! HUH??? They are all over the place in the parking lot & up the walkway to my office door!!! Then I remember - the very large lake about 3 blocks from the church recently experienced a fish kill due to the cold weather killing the algae in the lake which depleted the lake of oxygen. Okay - that explains the fish - ospreys must be fighting each other in the air & dropping the fish. For you non-Floridians - dead anything attracts birds of prey by the hundreds and buzzards by the thousands, and this fish kill is no exception. I go into my office & shut the door.

Three hours later I'm hard at work, again, minding my own business, when all of a sudden I hear two very loud, "BOOM! BOOM!" and the power goes out. I suppose the transformer blew for whatever reason. Of course, I had been working on a large document in MSWord for about 30 minutes or so & hadn't saved it as I went along (I know better). So now, all my hard work has ended up in cyber-space, I have no power, no phones, no nothng!! I waited about 30 minutes to see if the power company would show up - which they didn't - so I decided to just call it a day & leave. Out the door I go only to find about 100 MORE FISH than when I came in, and there were 7 (yes I counted) dead fish on my truck!!! I went back into the building, got a very large wad of paper towels to pick the fish off my truck so I could leave. Now, what I have already experienced today is enough to make a saint swear like a long-shoreman, don't you think? Well, no-ho-ho-ho!!! As I'm picking dead fish off my truck, a freaking bird overhead decides to drop his quarry and the dang fish hits me square on the shoulder!!! I look up and there must be at least 200-300 birds overhead & I feel like I'm in the middle of an Alfred Hitchcock movie!!! I jumped in the truck and took off hoping that the birds didn't think I resembled Tippi Hedron or Suzanne Pleshette!!!

I have to work at THD tonite. I have a feeling my day will end badly!!

Sounds to me like you missed an excellent opportunity to have fish for dinner tonight, not to mention squirrel.

Deb, I am pretty sure you have described 3 of the 7 signs of the apocolypse.... HMMMMM lol

Fish and squirrel is a rednecks manna from heaven.

Holy God in heaven! I've never heard of anything like that in my life! Life in the south is very strange. Trade off for the warm weather I guess.

I thought we had our problems with the Canadian geese (who don't migrate any longer. Evidently they came to Long Island, people fed them, and they decided to stay...POOPING everywhere!( not to mention causing planes to land in the Hudson). GO HOME!..we have enough problems with illegals! )
It's nothing compared to having hundreds of dead fish drop from the sky..hitting you in the head..yuk!

 

[AuburnJen92]

(God is throwing dead squirrels and fish at Deb)

 

[TheFlame]

Deb, that is the funniest thing I have heard in awhile! Thanks, I really needed a good laugh!

Hope your night went a little better!

Phyllis - I've lived here 36 years, and my husband all his life, and we've never seen anything like this. This fish kill even made the local TV news! The people who live on the lake really have the "yuk" factor. Not only do they have all the stinky dead fish (which city workers are scrambling to clean up) but all the damn buzzards are pooping all over everything. They interviewed one couple, and filmed their house and boat dock, and it looked like the buildings had been completely white-washed! They are going to have to pay thru the nose to have their home & boat dock pressure washed. The man who was interviewed said he didn't think he had the "excessive buzzard poo" rider with his homeowner's policy. It really is a terrific mess!! ANd to think....all this occured because of algae death!

Man, aint that the luck?? I can go spend a whole weekend at the lake with all the fishing gear I can find and not catch a thing. If I didn't bring food with me I'd go hungry all weekend. Debbie just walks down the street from a lake and the fish are falling at her feet. Go figure that one out!

Thanks! I had a typical "full moon night" at THD. I worked the returns register tonite & the "jackazz of the night award" went to the guy who argued with me that I HAD to give him his $$$ back because he didn't need the work light he bought. I finally had to walk him outside, point to the sign over the front door and advise him that he was NOT at Lowe's!!! The frightening thing was his comment that he didn't notice the sign was orange and not blue!!! I swear!!! The guy was totally illiterate!

I guess not only am I "Queen of the Otters", but now you can include "Queen of the Damned Fish"!! (Shut up...it's not funny)
