Thought I had just completed my taxes. Turns out I forgot to fill out Schedule C.

Update: I had filled out a Schedule C. I did it twice.

But I forgot to fill out Schedule K-1.

Just discovered that you can actually get a contact hangover.

Went up to the mailbox wondering if my new guitar instructional book came yet.

Instead I got an invite to attend a "Memories Workshop" at a local funeral home, to get things planned out and relieve my family of the burden of having to plan my funeral during their time of grief.

Would have preferred my guitar book

Cant well all agree that there's no secret behind Mona Lisa's smile? Dude told her to sit down and smile as he painted. Seems like that people who try to find a deeper meaning tend to be pretentious and a crazy person in the real world.

Coming back from town today, I saw a red-tailed hawk being chased across the sky and tormented by two crows . . .
then turned on to our road and saw a crow being chased and tormented by a mockingbird.

I guess the big guys don't always win!

Why Japanese don't blow their nose? I understand it is considered rude to do so in public, but we are in a office! Go in the bathroom, clean and come back. Breathing better is also a nice side effect a part of avoiding the constant pulling-up noise...

My boss took me to the sgts mess for a 'Bring a junior night'. There was lots of really cheap beer and I can't remember the later half of the night.

Trouble is I can't decide wither it would be a good idea to go see the warrent and find out if I behaved myself (or more likely just go and apologise for what ever I did do), or just hide and hope nothing happened.

I'd face up to it and just say something like "wow, sure had too much to drink that night - sorry if I got carried away." That way you're not admitting any misbehavior beyond what you already know, drinking too much. Since you didn't wake up in jail you probably weren't that bad.

Or turn it around and go on the offensive "wow, you sure had too much to drink that night - sorry, I should have kept an eye on you."

Now ya got me thinkin' bout the old Jean Shepherd radio narration he did called 'Half Tracks and beer don't mix." Fun in the motor pool!

QuoteNow ya got me thinkin' bout the old Jean Shepherd radio narration he did called 'Half Tracks and beer don't mix." Fun in the motor pool!

Is that one worth looking out for to listen to? Every so often we decide to dig out some old radio shows and listen to them (as well as newer ones on occasion). Just as a side note, for anyone who likes Peter Cushing & Vincent Price (and who doesn't?) they did a radio play together called Aliens In The Mind that I enjoyed.

As far as I can tell the rest of the night went fine. I tend not to drink too much these days as I didn't like the person I became increasingly often when I got drunk. Occasionally I end up having too much, or just feel the need for a blow out. Ironically about a year after I went from having one or two beers most nights to a beer or two a month I started getting gout (and I have never drank wine, port or brandy dammit). So much for living heathier.
