George W. Bush: Condi! Nice to see you. What’s happening?

Condoleezza Rice: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China.

George: Great. Lay it on me.

Condi: Hu is the new leader of China.

George: That’s what I want to know.

Condi: That’s what I’m telling you.

Condi: Yes.

George: I mean the fellow’s name.

Condi: Hu.

George: The guy in China.

Condi: Hu.

George: The new leader of China.

Condi: Hu.

George: The Chinaman!

Condi: Hu is leading China.

George: Now whaddya’ asking me for?

Condi: I’m telling you Hu is leading China.

George: Well, I’m asking you. Who is leading China?

Condi: That’s the man’s name.

George: That’s who’s name?

Condi: Yes.

George: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader of China?

Condi: Yes, sir.

While putting up a video in the post below this one, my blog started doing some really wonky things.  I completely freaked out, since my template looked like an abstract version of this one, and attempted to remove the video.

In the process of attempting to edit out the embedded video, my blog started becoming possessed, and wouldn’t let me do anything to it.  I was really concerned that somehow, during the embedding of this pointless video, I’d broken my blawg.

I started getting really angry.

There is a lot of crap on this blog.  99.9 percent of it is literally just crap.  If I lose it, I might tear up a little.  But, I’d get over it.  Eventually.
But the only copy of the Story I have is on this blog.  (Well, I do have it stuck in my old computer that is still broken…)  I’m going to move a copy of the Story over to my external hard drive, RIGHT NOW.

Pee Ess - how does one back up a blawg?  Will someone hold my hand, cuz I’m scareded of it.

Someone give me a topic.

The new hospital bed is here and put together.

They delivered it and set it up ‘even though the paperwork isn’t completed’ yet.

They gave us an upgraded brand new frame instead of the one that insurance covers.  They said the upgrade was ‘on them’.

Not that the upgrade is an amazing feature… but it is more than what we had.  And, they didn’t have to give it to us…

Yelling does get things accomplished sometimes.

Squeaky wheel

February 13th, 2008

When you have to call a medical supply company for the millionth time in a month to figure out what the hold up is in replacing a broken hospital bed because they’ve never called you and told you that they’ve been receiving the wrong paperwork from your would-do-anything-to-help doctor, its time to play the ‘You’re affecting his quality of life’ card.

Its also time to get the boss’s name and discuss in an elevated tone about needing to hire some more employees because they’re allowing people to suffer because they don’t want to pay another person’s paycheck.  Having one employee by themselves in the store to manage walk-in customers and telephone calls is ridiculous - especially when dealing with medical issues and insurance companies!

Seriously.

(If this post makes no sense, just nod and agree:  Run-around = not happy)

Rockin!

My latest annoyance for Tom is to catch a new song on a commercial, then immediately have to research who the song is by… and then make him download it for me.  (My computer doesn’t have any sound, for some reason.)

I’ve probably made him fetch 6 or 7 songs for me.  Like the commercial for Rhapsody - Love Song by Sara Bareilles.  Oooh, and the one for MacBook Air, Yael Naim’s New Soul.

I’m all over it.  Like white on rice on a paper plate in a snow storm.

Car commercials.  Fast Food commercials.  Heck, 90 percent of the time I don’t even remember the item being advertised.  I vaguely remember just enough information to google the song…

Is it good advertising, then? I don’t care!  Just gemme the good music, man!

(PS - Uhm, since my computer doesn’t get sound, I didn’t get to preview the links… sorry if they suck.)
