being taken down by a paper clip.

I'm sure everyone has seen or opperated one of these types of chairs before in there life, and so have I. And everyone knows that a paper clip is much, much smaller than this chair. Well yesterday was the paper clips day to prove a point in office superiority. Every day when i come to work i plop down in my not yet week old chair and get down to buisness. You see these chairs are nice because they have the wheels on them so we can scoot from one side to another, getting stacks of this and that, makes life a little easier on us all. Well yesterday was like any other day just doing my thing then the phone rang and instead of getting up, I just scooted... well i guess i scooted to hard. For the next thing i realized i was feet in the air and sideways on my way down to meet the ground. THWACK! head bounced off the floor hurt my back again and broke my chair's armrest clean off. Well now i'm confused because i've done this phone answering thing before and never fallen so i got up to investigate and there it was... an Office Max jumbo smooth paper clip. Never in my wildest dreams could i've amagined that a paper clip that is no more than an inch and a half long and mabey a millameter or two thick could take down and destroy an office chair. Slightly bent this paper clip will never have to clip paper again fore I am keeping it to remind me that even the smallest things can do much damage to office furnature. -jm-

myself once again

So i think im in love. I've told myself i'd give my heart a rest after the last mess i guess you could call it... but here i am again. Now I've been seeing this wonderfull girl for the last month and things are perfect! i mean it its been going so well that it feel that I've known her years. So I guess its only time before i screw things up. So far so good, minus the talking in my sleep incedent... Aparently i talk in my sleep(I dont beleive it, but then again im asleep!). So to set the scene i messed my back up and my doctor gave me some muscle relaxers to make things a little better for me and my back. Well i took a couple and had a couple beers with my roomate zach and went with the great idea of panhandeling at the akron football game in hopes of making some free money. Lets just say i was a little messed up, but we did make five bucks a piece. Got into the game for free and met up with some friends, all and good until i saw that damed mascot! Now i really hate mascots(dont ask why, but i do) and in seeing him being all happy i had to ruin his mood.... and i think i did. There is nothing better than getting in the face of a man in a fuzzy costume and giving him the finger, numorus times! Needless to say we had to leave the game, so of course we went back to the bar, and now im getting a little tired from the pills. Met up with my love interest had another beer with her and went back to my place, where i procede to fall asleep on the love seat. Here is where i get weird. apparently still asleep i say or mumble something and start howling like a hound dog, then my girlfriend gets me up to go to bed and then i say "Do you want to get up before we go to the bathroom"? What the hell does that mean? I really dont like going to the bathroom by myself let alone with others... and yet she still talks to me! Wow i really like her, and hate muscle relaxers! -jm-

some moron at the airport

So currently cleveland hopkins I'nt airport is being lowered a few feet around where the airplanes park to allow better drainage. This is a very large and expensive project that consists of removing and repouring concrete. Well when they pour the new stuff, they do it in very small sections so not to take up much room around the aircraft. When they are done laying the cement they block it off so no one will drive over it..... well you guessed it. The stuff wasnt even on the ground four hours before someone decided that thats all it needed and it would be ok to drive on, mind you everything at the airport weighs alot so as to not be blown over. Anyways, smartypants drove onto and sunk into about 24 inches of this stuff! 24 inches thats two feet thick! I mean how do you explain to your boss on how you moved the barrier and proceded to sink a tug into the cement? Well im assuming it was a tug because it wasn't there when the construction guys found a large messy and hardend hole in there newly poured concrete. Now the city is investigating, checking security cameras and asking questions because they estimate to repair this brain fart will cost about $40,000. -jm-

myself

i went to the doctor the other day because i hurt my back at the airport.... nothing serious just strained it. Anyways while im at the doctors office they do the usual, weigh me, take my pulse and blood pressure, and im all ok in those aspects. so you would think that since my back was hurt he would just need to see my back but he made me get down to my oh so sexy boxerbriefs (hey they keep me warm on those oh so chilly days) and then told meto put on one of the backless robes. I mean he's the doctor so i did what i was told and he checked my back and shoulders. He did his thing and wrote me out some muscle relaxers and told me to get dressed and left the room and this is where it gets funny well for you the reader that is. well as the doc left the room i got out of the robe and was standing in all my red boxerbrief and brown sock glory when all of a sudden the door is flung open and there are about 3 or 4 nurses standing there and start to laugh and it took them a good ten seconds to shut the damd thing. Now not to knock on myself but im a tall, skinny, pale irish kid, not much in the naked department to look at. well i got dressed quite fast and got the hell out of there. and that is why I really hate doctors! -jm-
