    I'm so torn right now.....

    A) be a gentleman and just keep walking by

    B) deliver one of the 3 or 4 comments that have sprung to mind

    Hmmm....what to do???

    B would probably strike closest to the reason for my ass pain.

    That reminds me, it's been a long time, in one sense.

    HA! I love MBAspeak. It's so self important.

    My favorite professor thus far said to our class when discussing a paper we were to write, "Don't use buzz words. They're meaningless."

    Didn't make my day. Didn't make my term. It made my whole freaking MBA academic career! No one else will say anything as profound as that.

    That could be good or bad.
    In this thread bad is my guess.

    Uh oh. That's when we men need a boquet of flowers in one hand, and a snide caustic comments shield in the other hand.

    An actual plumber, or Aunt Flo?
    EDIT--Can you tell that I've been married for a long time? No guy in his right mind would ask such a thing.

    The plumber that visited us didn't do anything except look around a bit and say, "Get the foundation repaired first." Thanfully it was one of the free estimate companies (of course the visit charge is built into their fees if they do any work).

    I'm more accepting of academia-speak. Slightly.

    The actual plumber. Aunt Flo doesn't visit often.

    Apparently our faucet in the bathtub is missing a cartridge of some kind, and the new landlord is having a plumber come out to fix it, as they are concerned that the faucet could be leaking down into the wall and under the house. I hope not, as that will be a mess to fix. It's not really my problem, but I still have to put up with being around to let the plumber and the contractor in to fix stuff.

    It's pretty bad. The egos are worse in academia.

    My wife is past the age of having periods, yet every three/four months she gets seriously hammered (I chose that word intentionally) by a surprise period.
    EDIT--There I go again.

    Sounds like a plot to some bad porn; at least a plot that has been used to near death.

    Speaking as the 'owner' of an older home, I hope that it's nothing major.

    The plumber is here, and now it sounds like they are going to have to cut a hole in the wall of my closet.

    Word of caution, and I'm being serious: Don't leave any valuables where they can be reached, even if you're watching the work being done. Lock them in your car.
    This isn't a slam on all professionals (as a half-assed handyman, I have much respect for their respective skills), just the few that taint their professions.

    From my advisor: "I didn't think you'd want to go, what with your unreliable schedule the past month...."
    Excuse me? Unreliable?
    1) I'm taking a medical leave this semester. You shouldn't expect me to be here at all.
    2) I have come in with the very regular schedule that you approved months ago. I've been here before 9am every single Tuesday-Friday for the past 2 months. I leave, as discussed, at 3pm every day but Wednesday, when I leave/left at precisely 1:15pm.

    I'm sorry that I can't physically handle working 60-hour weeks anymore. Or maybe I'm not so sorry.
    Just ready to be done, move to my own little farm, and play with my daughter all day every day.

    Other bits of frustration:
    - Tt was sick all weekend so I felt put-opon trying to pick up the slack on top of my usual responsibilities.
    - Because he was was sick, he missed a sprung mouse trap. One that I didn't even know was there. Removed it yesterday, but still... Our house smells like death.
    - I have this stupid clogged duct in my left breast that's just starting to drive me bonkers.
    - My daughter wasn't feeling too great over the weekend either, and refused all solid foods (and cow's milk). So she turned to the boob/bottle. Bitten nipples, super fussy baby, and a reduced supply from stress... trying to feed someone who suddenly wants 15oz more than usual was a nightmare. I was crying last night as I gave her a bottle of our emergency "boxed junk" stash.

    I have no wish to add to your lovely ass' pain, so I'll choose A. I hope that your ass recovers soon.

    ;)

    Unlikely, as I'm likely to engage in the behavior that made it sore in the first place again soon. Recovery is overrated. My ass needs to toughen up.

    I came home to find the plumber vacuuming up his mess with my Dyson. WTF.
