..my boss bought this HUGE, life-sized (or would that be death-sized?) Grim Reaper that adorned our office right up until the bewitching hour on Oct 31st.

After that, he moved it so that it stands right in the doorway to my office.

We work in a small office, and every day for the past week I've walked around the corner and have been startled by Mr Grim. I literally jump every single day.

Me: "Doot-do-doo...
doo-dee-doot dooYAAAAAAA!"

Oh, and yes. He has a nametag.
(Don't call him "Mortie," though. He HATES that...)

Seen at Walmart today

Q: There's an empty seat beside you on the public bus...

...guess who's going to fill it at the next bus stop?

Who knew?

Ok, so I'm stumbling around on Rhapsody looking for a karaoke version of the theme song from "Fame" (don't ask), and I find this:

"IRENE CARA TRIBUTE BAND?"

Now THAT would be a tough gig...

YAAAA!!!! GIANT SEAGULLS!!!

There, I fixed it!

There's a great website called There, I Fixed It that's full of wonderful photos of folks "fixing" problems that would likely not be manufacturer or OSHA approved.

We had a bunch of rain earlier this week, and alas - the roof in my computer area started leaking.

Not having time to call a roof repair person, I came up with this ingenious "fix."

Note the obligatory use of duct tape.

And the economical use of garbage bags.

Water park technology (and gravity) sets the solution in motion!

And voila! Right into the bucket.

I told Mrs Savant the only thing this repair lacked was banjos.

This Just In!

I weep for society. And bang my head against a wall.

Shocking findings here.

I guess that semester of conducting paid off!
