Week in review.

So, anyways..it's been a funfilled, yet painful week.

Labor day found me on the big lake, on the PWC attacking 5 foot rollin waves and getting air. Woohoo!!!

My arms and legs took one hell of a beating, though.

Tuesday found me barely able to walk. Getting up and going to work was difficult, to say the least. I did it, however. One of my coworkers watched me hobble in and said 'My god, you look like hell!!' My boss took one look at me and said "What the hell happened to you??"

Apparently I looked about as good as I felt. Walking was painful, bending over to pick stuff up was avoided as much as possible.

Yesterday I was finally able to move without much pain, which was a Good Thing Indeed. Today, I'm about 90% healed up.

Yesterday sure felt like a Monday. We had no delivery guy until noon, so I wound up spending a lot of the morning in the truck, which wouldn't have been bad if I didn't have a lot of work to try and catch up on.

I was supposed to be done at 5, got home about 6:30. I wandered around Stately PartsGuy Manor for a few minutes, then decided to make some dinner. I was washing off a pizza pan, and turned on the water to rinse it, and managed to get an eyeful of Dawn* dishwashing liquid.

That hurt like you wouldn't believe.

And today was the kicker. I was playing with my r/c airplane, bent down to pick it up, and hit the throttle lever. Took a nice lil divot out of my finger.

I'm scared to imagine what might happen tomorrow.

In other news, those of you who actually read the little quote thinger below my Blog's name might have noticed a lil blurb directing you to click on the linky and buy a pic, cause AM has decided to donate all profits from sales of her pics to relief organizations. She also promised me some noodie pics if'n I was to mention her site. Ordinarily, I don't use my blog for commercial purposes, but this is for a VERY good cause, so I've decided to do it this once. Plus, hey, noodie pics!! (you better share this time!! PartsGuy Research Staff)

Maybe. Now shut up and get back to the important research projects I've assigned you!!

Finding pics of naked dobermans wrestling in coleslaw HARDLY counts as important, Schmendrick.

Maybe not to YOU, but to the Reader who asked if we might be able to help, it's of vital importance!

OK, whatever(sighs)

Allrighty then, where was I? OH, yeah! In short, buy a pic, so PartsGuy gets some noodie pics!!

In other news, your humble PartsGuy has been surfing his Credit Union's website and looking at loan rates on used recreational vehicles. There may be a PWC in my near future, who knows? I'm not going to do the paypal thing I'd threaten...errr, joked about, I'll just do what I've always done and work my butt off to get one. I gotta admit, the idea was sorta crazy anyways. As I've said before, I don't blog for the money, just for the chicks.


I'd summarize tonight's post, but I'm feeling lazy. Figure it out.

Ten things.

There used to be a website, something like "Things Skippy is not allowed to do in the Army"

Anyways, I got to thinking about things they won't let me do in MY job. I figured I'd list a few.


1) PartsGuy is NOT allowed to make jokes about the boss's mother-in-law, even if they ARE hysterically funny.

2) I am NOT authorized to fire employees.

3) I may not stack merchandise in an illogical manner and call it sculpture.

4) I am not allowed to declare jihad on other parts stores.

5) I am not allowed to refer to the employees of other parts stores as "liars, weasels, and probably Democrats", as doing so is an insult to weasels, plus they hate being mentioned in the same sentence as Democrats.

6) Not allowed to transfer District Managers to Cuba.

7) No, I cannot transfer Assistant Managers to Cuba either.

8) I am not allowed to call video stores and demand they stock up on squirrel porno.

9) I also am not allowed to speculate about the sounds squirrels would make during said movies.

10) I may not skip Sexual Harassment seminar on the basis that I already know how, I just don't do it.

11) During same seminar, when informed that dating is considered sexual activity(WTF?), I may not ask "Can I get that in writing??"

12) Calling Luke @ Central Store and saying " Luke, I AM your father" wasn't funny the first time, nor the 300th time.

13) Managers at other stores are to be addressed by their given names, not 'Scooter' or 'Two-Tone'

14) I cannot trade fellow employees to other stores for a 'player to be named later'


There's probably a lot more, but that's enough for now.
