Friday Clip O' Laughter - Modern Family

Ok, so I touted Modern Family weeks ago but I just had to show some more of my favorite clips. If you have not seen this show, you must tune in...and tell Nielson that I sent you.

I must say, I was touting this show WEEKS ago, before it was all the rage...now millions are watching, and I want to say it here first....I was DVRing it before anyone even thought about seeing the former Al Bundy laying out by his pool (remind me to lay next to him in my bathing suit...I will look so much better) with his hot Columbian wife, and the ice dancing team of "Fire and Nice".

Here is a clip that makes me laugh eveytime I watch it. Enjoy....and I bet you can't not laugh. (sorry for the short commercial, but leave it to Disney, Mickey needs a new pair of shows I guess...)

Can life BE more annoying?

Vacation is over. That became abundantly clear to me yesterday when I had to deal with my boss who viewed my return to the office as the return of his long lost secretary (I am not a secretary).

So he's topping the charts of my pet peeves for the day. I feel the need to get these off my chest so I can move forward with my day. It's cathartic. I put them on to you, I unload, I feel better, you get to have them. You're welcome.

1) I am instituting a new rule in my office space for my boss. If you want me to assist you with a project/document/conference call your Blackberry will be banned from attending. Why? Because you are completely incapable of doing two things at once. This technology (including your "cool" new MacBook you bought) was not made for you. You don't know how to use it properly (nor when NOT to use it) so I feel it is necessary to treat you like the annoying 3 year old you are acting like and remove these toys from you when working with me. You make my job twice as hard and twice as long. I can never get those hours back buddy so suck it up. My office space, my rules.



2) What died in my office ceiling? I'm experiencing an invasion of flies and it's really starting to gross me out. This is a picture of my lovely flourscent lighting. It's a cool picture, but please note the black spots. Those are dead flies. Maybe some not so dead flies. Unfortunately I have no maintenance people to call. I am the official unofficial chief bottle washer, recycler, office manager, accountant, account manager, senior vice president of this here operation and I don't DO bugs.

3) Smart phones and rainy days don't mix. Not so much a pet peeve as an observation.

Good day people, and thanks again.

We are still here

Just a quick note to our fans (well, fan) that we are both still alive, still kicking, but really slammed. Ker is currently on vacation, and Skippy just got back from a week off. Shortly, we will be getting back to our regularly scheduled program, but in the meantime, please feel free to look at our older posts - some are actually amusing - and post comments on them.

Skip has lot to tell from his recent vacation, and Ker is bound to have some stories from where she is right now.

We will be back very, very soon.

Skip and Ker
