Yesterday was one of those days...a morning training on stuff I already knew and then a trek downtown to a 'see and be seen' meeting. Note the afternoon meeting was not a 'let's chat a little after the meeting' and as such, we planned on bolting right away lest we get caught up talking to people we don't really want to talk to...ah educational politics there's nothing quite like it...I made myself feel better by telling myself the other parties were probably relieved as much as we were, that we bolted.
Only one problem with the listen and run plan...I needed to go to the bathroom, I mean really, really needed to go, the meeting was so packed there was no way I could get up and out to go...I had been in a holding pattern for about 45 min. I felt an instant rush of relief when the meeting wrapped up and my bladder could feel it too, but we didn't want to use the restrooms in the office for fear of getting caught up in previously mentioned conversations...no problem this is a big building we'll just use the bathrooms in the lobby. Down 17 floors we go, my bladder is about to burst and guess what...no bathrooms on the lobby level. ACK! Time for plan C...
We ride the elevator up a floor get out an see a sign for women's restrooms finally! But could it be that easy oh no...the bathroom was locked...this bathroom has a key code on it. Seriously a key code! I notice it's just down the hall from the Colorado Offices of Public Utilities, so I pop in and ask to use the restroom. The lady says there are no public restrooms in the building. I found it funny that a building that is called the Civic Center Building and houses many state offices had no public restrooms. So I called her on it and I said I see there's a bathroom just down the hall. 'Well that's only for people in this building'....'I am in this building, I had a meeting at XXX on the 17th floor, thought there would be a bathroom in the lobby'...she again tries the 'only if you work here speech' to which I just about completely lost it...in more ways than one given my condition... you're the office of public utilities hello! and I am clearly not a vagrant off the street(and even if I was I think you should still let a person use the restroom)...do I need to show you my tax returns? twitter Gov. Ritter? really what does a girl need to do to use the restroom and while it's true all these thoughts were flowing I was able to channel my 'kill more flies with honey than vinegar smile' and instead I implored to a sense of human decency, and perhaps a 'not so subtle' non verbal threat that if she didn't give me the darn code she may have to be calling a cleaning up crew, to which she finally relented and gave me the magic code.
So if you find yourself at the end of the 16th street mall and in need of a decent(no not clean as you would think it would be since they're so protective) restroom, go to 1560 Broadway aka Civic Center building and enter this code. 5656*

Urban Dictionary...and I was like.
I'm always curious when I see a random person has been referred by Google. I like to click and see what they were searching for...the latest round: 'And I was liek' to which google second guessed and decided the person fat fingered 'And I was like...' My little blog is about 5th on the list and Urban Dictionary on top. I couldn't resist, I had to see how 'and I was like' was defined.
I think it's pretty dead on, how about you?
Obnoxious(ok maybe not this part) people use this phrase after they have recited an anecdote about their petty tribulations. This is to compensate for their complete absence of wit or original insight into anything. Teenage girl drops her lipstick. Girl: Omigod becki, this morning i was like, putting my lipstick on, and then i dropped it and there was lipstick like alllllll over the floor and i was like AHH!!!! Boy: uhhh... how exactly can you be "like ahh"? Girl: I apologise for my poor use of English. I tend to use "like" as an all-purpose word. Yes, I was slightly disgrunted at the time, but I wasn't physically comparable to a sound, nor did I actually raise my hands in the air and shout "AHH!" Boy: I think makeup and clothes stores contain brain-destroying chemicals. Girl: Help me. |

Less than 72 hours before it's all over...
SARAH PALIN: Before it got to the other side, I shot the chicken, cleaned and dressed it, and had chicken burgers for lunch.
BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a change! The chicken wanted change!
JOHN MC CAIN: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.
HILLARY CLINTON: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure right from Day One that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.
GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.
DICK CHENEY: Where's my gun?
COLIN POWELL: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.
BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with that chicken. What is your definition of chicken?
AL GORE: I invented the chicken.
JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.
AL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.
The Pundits...
ANDERSON COOPER, CNN: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.
NANCY GRACE: That chicken crossed the road because he's guilty! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.
PAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.
BARBARA WALTERS: Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its lifelong dream of crossing the road.
The everyday American...
GRANDPA: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.
DR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.
BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken 2008, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken 2008. This new platform is much more stable and will never crash or need to be rebooted.
ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?
COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one?
***Hope this made you smile, believe it or not I found this one blog surfing for Bella and Copic ideas.***

The Case against Evolution
POTTER VALLEY Woman tries to kill mice, shoots self
Published: Tuesday, July 8, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
A Potter Valley woman wounded herself and a man July 3 while attempting to kill mice with a .44-caliber Magnum revolver, according to the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office.
The woman, 43, had drawn the gun from a holster under her left arm, intending to shoot mice scurrying across the floor of a small travel trailer on Highway 20 in Potter Valley, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
The revolver instead slipped from her hand and fired as it struck the floor, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
The bullet went through the woman’s right kneecap, then hit keys hanging on the belt loop of a 42-year-old man in the trailer, officials said. The bullet glanced off the keys and tore a hole in the man’s pants.
The bullet grazed the man’s groin before stopping in his coin pocket, where it was recovered for evidence, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
The names of the shooting victims were not released.
