Irrational

Okay, here is is Monday and I get to go back to work... for 3 days.
An update from Cymax... I got an email from them yesterday saying they were sorry, but I had only selected White Glove service, Silver grade, which did not include unpacking the product.  Of course you know I'm a smart ass, so I went to the add on Amazon clicked on the "without expert assembly" button where it says: 

• Removal of packaging materials to customer's bin

This I copied and emailed to them.  I am awaiting their response.

With all of this reorganization going on, I find I've got an extra laptop... and not knowing what to do with it, I set it up next to my 24" gaming monitor.  Shit, am I like geeky as hell?

Anyway, I saw where some guy named Mulvaney, no doubt a slobber sycophant of the Idiot Jerk, claims that our phony president won the shutdown battle....  That is so freaking hysterical.  Evidently neither one has seen this.  Almost 3/4 of registered voters think the country is in the pisser waiting to get flushed.  70% of those questioned were Independents, the largest voting block in the country.  Shit!

Oh, and the Idiot Jerk has not ruled out another shut down.  This is no doubt a result of the prayer session with Gini Thomas...  Damn, these people are not only so lost in the weeds of their own making, they're compass is going to lead them right off the map of rational behavior.  But, have they ever really been... rational.

We're supposed to have 2 (count them) 2 cold days, but then the temps goes back up to the upper 30's and 40's.  Can't wait.

Surprise

Okay, so it's early Sunday morning.  I had set my alarm to sleep in late... until 0500 but the dogs and my biological clock woke me earlier.  Later I will most likely take a bit of a nap.  Right now I have one load of laundry in the washer, one in the dryer, and am preparing to fold another... ah, the joys of having a day off from work.  I do have to work for 3 days after this, but then I have another 2 days off, and three weeks out I'm scheduled to work a 40 hour week.  Shit.
I was talking to my friend Betsy last evening and we had to chortle about the Idiot Jerk in the White House and how he's claiming victory over Nancy.  Guffaw.  Guffaw.  Then this morning I read that he huddled with other ultra-right conservatives including Gini Thomas.  For those who don't know who Gini is, she's married to the Oreo on the Supreme Court.  Now, ain't that enough to make you snicker? The only black member of the Supreme Court is married to a white, right-wing activist.  Oh, and they have no children, which means they have a rather restricted view of family values.
Evidently Nancy Pelosi's approval rating is higher than that of the Idiot Jerk.  I find that rather amusing.
With the shutdown over for only 15 days the mindset of the Republican Party is in extremely turbulent turmoil  For the first time, many of those crazy conservatives are beginning to understand the Idiot Jerk is completely vulnerable.  After being read the riot act by Republican Senators in a closed door session, it turns out even the Mini Jerk (Mike Pence) is doing the Bird Box Challenge in a field filled with cow patties... barefoot.  Shit.  I suspect he's not too good at playing Blind Man's Bluff.  Can't you hear all those high pitched, Republican voices squealing "turn right Mikey, turn left Mikey, not, your other left Mikey."  Oh, wait, that's right, he's a crazy Christian Conservative so he doesn't have a left foot, or a left hand as that would be too liberal.
For those interested in my current writing project, I'm up to chapter 20 in the first draft.  Word wise I'm over 44,000.  The ending is set in stone.  This is the part where I really begin to tease with solutions when the questions begin to be answered... maybe.  Surprise endings are great.  Sadly, for the Republican party and the Idiot Jerk in the White House, that ending is also set in stone... and it doesn't look like there's going to be too much of a surprise.
