A cute, good looking secretary came angrily out of the boss's cabin.

A colleague asked : "What happened? "

She replied : "He asked if I am free tonight?'"

I said: "Yes."
And the bugger gave me 50 pages to type !!!

more excuses for skipping out of work

1. I have to renew my driver’s license.

2. I have to get new license plates.

3. I have to stand in a long line for no good reason, while petty bureaucrats take inordinate amounts of time to work out the tiny problems that they detect in perfectly routine transactions. THEN I have to breeze by and renew my driver’s license and get new license plates.

4. I’ve got an urgent session with my therapist.

5. I’ve got a really urgent session with my therapist.

6. I’ve … I … I’m not … I don’t … I CAN’T COPE WITH THIS!!

7. I have to get my contact lenses fitted.

8. I have to get my hearing aid adjusted.

9. I have to get my big toe calibrated.

10. Hey, hey! The Monkees could be coming to our town.

11. My rheumatism is acting up. There’s going to be a terrible tornado.

12. My arthritis is acting up. There’s going to be a terrible blizzard.

13. The pharaoh is acting up. There’s going to be a terrible rain of frogs.

14. I need to give blood.

15. I need to give evidence.

16. I need to give up.

17. I’m going to my best friend’s engagement party.

18. I’m going to my best friend’s wedding.

19. I’m going to my best friend’s divorce. (We all knew it wouldn’t last. At the wedding, everybody threw Minute Rice.)

20. I have a seriously overdue library book that I have to return.

Storms dump rain on wildfires TEXAS

Spring thunderstorms pounded North Texas on Sunday, including Possum Kingdom Lake, giving firefighters there help in containing one of the largest blazes in the state.

About an inch of rain fell on the southern half of the lake Saturday, and more than an inch had fallen on the northern half by early Sunday evening.

I pray more rain comes in without any lightening!

Living in dry fire country I know what havoc those lightening strikes can wreak!

Mark me down for number 4, dubya. I’ve got the lumbar scars to prove it.

When I had my last fusion done last year I took a piece of white tape and wrote, “To open cut along dotted line ————”, and taped it over previous incisions. Doc enjoyed my sense of humor. Wish I’d been awake to hear the OR personnel comments. :^)

Hope and pray you won’t experience any lightening strikes up in your neck of the woods, teenie.

Finally the rains came to Texas, dubya. That is good news.

Thanks, DD!

Those dry thunderstorms are pretty scary. The sky has been threatening all week but so far we haven't had anything but warm overcast. Did you have those black clouds in the valley today? They were REALLY dark!
