'Tap Tap Tap'

'Tap Tap Tap'


"Um. Help me. Hello? Pssst. Anyone?"


"Helloooooooooooooooooooo...."


"HELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP"


The Husband walked by, put his hand on mine and said "It's gone. Walk away."

"Can you fix it?"

"No. Really. Walk away. It's time. I told you this would be coming."

"But..."

"Walk. Away."


My computer died. In my stubborness and determination that it would never happen, it did. I think the same fate is awaiting The Car. But I don't want to talk about it.

And I was warned. Smart enough, fortunately, to have a back up. But died. Pfft. Gone. Nada.

So here I am, bright and shiny and new.

Kind of like The New Freezer, The Resurfaced Work Table, and the shiner I left on The Food Nazi's - aka The Health Department's - Eye last week.

"Your kitchen is spotless. Really. The best I've seen. But this custard has been sitting here the entire time we've been talking and I am going to throw it out because you did not inititate proper cooling procedures."

The Bastard.

I have one word for that inspector: fucktard. Or maybe two, dead meat. I tend to loathe food inspectors - don't EVEN sift my flour looking for cockroaches, I keep a clean kitchen. Twatweasels, all of them.

Health inspectors are either a)overzealous and obnoxious or b) lazy and outright stupid. In NYC we had a restaurant (I use the term loosely - it was fast food) so overrun by rodents and roaches that you could see them crawling around in the store while the employees set up...and only after the local news got a video did they care (it's on YouTube). Meanwhile they're shutting places down for (gasp) air-curing their meats. Not that!

Life is hard. They bring us into the world, we give our all until 000101100001111000 001 11001 10 1 0 0 and then nothing, we're gone. No problem, they've got back-up, there is a shiny new model waiting in the box.

Cruel, cruel world.

Clearly Carmen you're not enough of a geek. Cutest eulogy for a computer - ROFLMA...
