humping the frog

when someone goes a bit obsessive compulsive about something, and takes the matter slightly too far.
example: when a cat* gets a new toy, frog-shaped, crinkly, that has been sprayed with eau de nip (cat) and proceeds to rub itself energetically on it for an extended period of time.

* not one of ours. and definitely not Sproing.

also grr.

but,
meh.

1. dropping the wors

   When you make a mistake, big style.

   jeez, you really dropped the wors on that one, ma bru.

   source: someone who shall not be named dropping the boerewors from the braai to the floor. i think.

2. working off the stick

   When you (live life on the edge and) work without a back-up.

   explanation: when you are working on a document that’s on the flash drive / memory stick and you forget to save it / delete it / the stick borks.

Holy crap I’m tired.
And slightly grumpy.

The past few weeks have been so busy.
The shop is really busy (yay!).
My other work (for P’s company) is really busy.
Social stuff is really busy.

This week is particularly bad.
No free nights for chilling and we’re off at some ungodly hour (the flight is at 6am) on Sunday morning to Durban for a few days.
It’s very cool seeing friends so much, but I’m functioning on reduced sleep and energy and am wandering around in some kind of grn-harg state.

Hmm.

Just figured out one of the things that make a day in “the office”* feel so different from working in the shop.
Music, lack thereof.
It’s oh so quiet…
Mostly.

Side effect: James Brown running around my head all day.
(How’s that for a mental image? He’s a sex machine, you know.)

* aka Jo’s office, where I am today.

Right, now I’ve splurged I’m going to take off my ranting pants and lock them in the cupboard for the rest of the day.
I really should be working…

head nod: extemp.

pop quiz, hotshot.
you’re wearing trousers that really need a belt, but you forgot to put a belt on.
what do you do?

(shoot the hostage is not an acceptable answer)

or getting ready the naga way.

Crowd sets thug on fire.

addendum: Thug would make good poppy daddy.
