Because Nothing Says “Rainy Monday” Quite Like… a Rainy Monday.

1012_rain_677-774119.jpg

Today really feels like it should have come with a sarcastic greeting card. You know? Like, “Good morning, I’m here to pee in your cornflakes,” or “Hello, and welcome to your penance for this weekend,” or even, “Dear parlie, instead of sending you to hell I’ve decided to trap you in an eternal rainy Monday morning. Love, God.”


Now, I’m just as superstitious and paranoid as the next guy, so of course it aligns with my perceptions when bad things start to fall like dominoes. I forgot my rain jacket at lunch (totally my fault, but still). Clients emailed me during lunch with NEGATIVE remarks. Came back from lunch and the internet is broken. The whole thing!

The good news, of course, is that it’s going to be hard for the situation not to improve. But until then, I guess I’ll just have to sit here in my self-contained, internet-less bubble of fatalistic f*ck-yous, and laugh. Anybody else that wants to share their wah-wahs with me… welcome to the lamentation station, stay as long as you please! I’m going to curl into a ball and climb inside a bottle of Rye for the afternoon.

    I got an email from a customer that said “You make me sick.” It wasn’t directed at me, but I had to read it.

    one of his nipples is a peace sign. the other is a star. he has no biceps or elbows. his skin is a sickly yellow.

    there is more than enough to be uncomfortable about.

    something’s eating my arugula-well, just sort of uprooting it and moving it around. always in the same spot.

    do squirrels eat arugula?

    /and do they call it rocket?

    Yeah, I just stumbled on the other mention. Sorry for the nausea-inducing double mention, mc!

    no worries… I just caught a glimpse flying fabios and so managed a grin.

    those nipples are creeping me out - I take umbrage.

    I would like my umbrage back, thank you very much. My nipples won’t creep without it.

    /punchy and sleep deprived.

    in addition to wishing there were “it’s so beautiful outside, it’s a sin to be in the office” days off, I’m also a proponent of “today sucks so go home and take a nap” days.

    /not sure any working days would remain between the two, but that’s why I’ll never progress beyond middle management

    Oh, and I drove by a cemetery and they were having a funeral. In the pouring rain. That made me cry a little.

    GIS for creepy nipple yielded this (SFW) and a whole lotta Tara Reid.

    creeping nipples of umbrage would make an awesome death metal band.

    Rain

    @ 20

    Frozen airplane dung
    Satellite chunks
    Meteorites
    Superman’s snot
    Bombs

    Your quantities may be off, but your theory remains intact.

    @20, 21: “There have been accounts of frog rain, fish rain, squid rain, worm rain, even alligator rain.”

    i would like none of those. probably especially the alligators because they’re heavy.

    Parlie, perhaps you could drink your own whine.

    Put things in perspective. At least there are no velociraptors…yet.
