What do you do when..?

What do you do when....

... your boss asks you for something he/she asked you to do 2 days ago?

... a customer asks you for something he/she asked you for 2 weeks ago?

... your son asks you for another Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle to add to his 12 other Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles eventhough there are only 4 freakin' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

... your neighbour wants to borrow your power tools for 'a little project'?

... your wife/husband/significant other asks you to do something you can't possibly do after the 8 beers and 7 shots you just had?

Answer to all of the above:

Just fake it as best you can and move on.

P.S. Question - if you (a) believe in a god/deity of some sort and (b) think that by not recycling something you are damaging the Earth, does that mean that not recycling is a sin? and, by extension, does that mean that every single time you don't recycle (even if it is because it is extremely inconvenient) you are committing a sin?

That is of course only relevant if you believe in a god/deity.

Not saying that I agree with Mr. D. (there are some serious flaws in his arguments) but it's interesting nonetheless. Maybe if I'm already almost comatose one day I might take the time to read it...or I might just watch 'The Facts of Life - Season 3 DVD' I borrowed from the library. Gotta love Blair, Natalie, Tootie and Jo - even with the ridiculous episode where Jo decides to start a pizza business in the boarding school kitchen. 1980's racially motivated stereotypical hillarity at its best. See also 'Perfect Strangers' - Balky, Balky, Balky, where are you now?

Ahh Mrs. Garrett, who loves ya baby?

Gotta turn my brain off now and get back to work.

Eat your veggies. Your mother loves you.

Fake it 'til you make it, baby. That's my motto.

Is it weird that The Facts of Life has come up in conversation at least 10 times in the last 3 weeks? Do you have a crush on Mrs. Garrett too?

Not so much a crush as 'motherly endearment'. I think her amble bosom would be a nice place to rest your head a take a peaceful snooze.

There's gotta be something Freduian in there for sure, but then again, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar...ask Monica.
