As funerals, working on websites, not eating correctly and most likely everything hinging on the fact that my life is not my own right now, let’s do one of those quirky link dumps:

Politics

• When you read through the list of examples of CIA Misconduct, it’s one of those things that just makes one go ummm. Seriously.
• Left Wing Cracker with some sage advice for Katherine Bowers. And a bit of a scolding too. Pesky Fly isn’t suffering fools lightly as well.
• Go here to see who wrote this: “The truth is that the president is playing a very high-stakes game of chicken with his fellow Republicans. He’s driving a hundred miles an hour toward the cliff, way too fast to jump out of the car without risking serious injury. But as the cliff gets closer, they’ll start to jump.”
• This story needs to be followed. I think the walls are starting to crack.
• Ann Coulter is the worst kind. She turned everything around yesterday when Elizabeth Edwards called. Read the transcript here. My mouth is hanging open in shock.

Celebrity And Media

• I know people who follow wrestling dug Chris Benoit, but this sounds so familiar of the domestic Violence cases I used to work. In the story, the child had needle marks from growth hormones. Here’s so more details.
• The title of this story is ‘Paris Hilton due to break her silence.’ ARRRGGGHHHH. Who really cares. Oh, I keep forgetting, mainstream media that’s who. (I’m trying not to scream but the voices on my television are driving me to brain damage.)
• New Vampire television show called “Moonlight” which should either be wonderful or incredibly stupid. The female lead is an Internet investigative reporter. I found that to be interesting for some reason.
• An Example of Good Feedback from the mind of Sam Davidson. About a zillion people I know need to read this.
• More bloggers write letters. This time, Drinkin’ the Franklin Kool-Aid
• More on Fred Dalton Thompson’s celebrity, but Ginger asks “What about the issues?”

It’s Hump Day, which is my busiest day of the week usually. Hopefully today, I can get my usual stuff done and then start working on this as we are in crunch time.

My day.

It was a day of great value on one hand because I did what I set out to do but mind-blowing obstacles that stood in the way have my head about to disconnect from my neck.

Yeah, one of those days.

In a nutshell, I worked all day on something I don’t know that much about. So everything was about learning small details about something, and I repeat, that I know very little about. In a lot of ways, it was challenging and neat to be learning new things. On the other hand, I’m terribly whupped.

So it was about me doing some “learning”, as they say here in the south. And I was on the phone most of the day to the point my cell phone ran out of juice three times. Three times.

I like learning new things, and after having being so dreadfully ill last week, I think the crankies caught up with me.

One of my employees was threatened where we needed police intervention (I was out of the office today working on the project from the inner bowels of Hades as well as a couple of other things), another employee called and we have a shortage of stories for the next paper *sigh* (which I think can be rectified through a lot of hard work tomorrow morning. Yay for me, I’ve got to go in earlier than usual) and I’m talking to techs all day and they were talking tech language to me when I finally had to ask if there was a dictionary on-line or an interpreter available.

Then my cell phone would die and we would have to start all over.

And I have to talk to techs again tomorrow and Friday. I just have to talk to the Powers That Be on Thursday.

I truly need a brain transplant. I think people think this is fun time for me working on this project. They are sadly mistaken. But it needs to be done because it’s the right thing for our business. And, I want to do a good job. But I feel like I’ve been in college again for the last month.

And I shouldn’t be bitching because other people had a terrible tragic day.  Much worse than mine.

The good part of the all of this is in the big picture, it doesn’t really matter. You know what I’m saying. There are people out there that had a much more horrible day than I had, so I shouldn’t complain.

But hey, isn’t that what a blog is for?

Cranky. But on a good path. I’ll keep that in mind.
