Let's Spin the Wheel!!!

The wheel of stupid Bubba sayings... and last night's winner is...."Remember you're not rich."

A bit of context for this latest bit of a-holery?  I was talking to him stating I wouldn't see him until I got home from shopping fun on Sunday... and he blurts the above.... OK butthead... see how many dinner checks I pick up this weekend!!!   I do not think I am rich - far - freaking - from it!  I'm going to buy Christmas presents... for your family as well - Butthead-- and did I mention I'm going to the OUTLET malls... not Needless Markup or Lord and Taylor???   I just could not believe he said that to me!  Of course now when I relay this to Nana tonight I will have to quote Wheezer (see your reference copy of Steel Magnolias...) "The only reason people are nice to be is because I have more money than God!"   Really need to watch that movie again..

So had he not opened his pie hole I would have shared dinner expenses... now - he's picking up the check.. eat that Bubba..

Plus you shouldn't piss off your wife before she goes to bed - after all a booby trap on half the bed can be well planned enough not to splatter on her half.  Oh and did I mention he called and said he'd be home late to go out with the boys?  He strolled in at 10:00 PM last night and by 10:20 I was ready for bed.   Good seeing you pumpkin and after the latest wheel-o-idiot-sayings - ain't missin' ya much either..

So he tried to zing my zen before I have even left and I frankly will not let that happen... I'm having dinner with Nana after I deal with 600 things at home, and frankly I would leave those dishes in the sink but I know if I don't clean that up I'll come home to a bigger pile so in order to keep the happy bubble into later Sunday I will take a few minutes Thursday and unload the dishwasher.  Of course I haven't packed yet - but I have a list and that will take all of 10 minutes - 15 if I stop to review which I may do considering my track record.  I do find it odd that my track record without Bubba is so much better than with him... something to note.   It's all jeans and sweatshirts and eye junk so I should be fine.

Work is dead quiet right now and frankly if it wasn't for a 1:00 PM meeting today I'd leave at noon, putter and then head north but... this customer likes me there so I will be there.  He better not get chatty... I'm just saying!

Shall we place our bets now on how many times Bubba calls this weekend??  I'm guessing at least 2 - 1 tonight and one sometime Saturday... maybe a third Friday when dinner prep might toss him for a bit of a loop like turning on the oven for pizza and which pan to use to heat said pizza and the necessary use of tin foil to avoid prolonged clean up.. of course he doesn't care about clean up he'll leave the pan in the sink for me to deal with when I get home... with an empty dishwasher I can point to it and again have remedial dirty dish in dishwasher instructions... you know for a man such a whiz with numbers he's having an awful hard time with something as simple as loading up a dishwasher.   I digress...

and last on my Aunt Ing nag parade, today in my business unit news letter I saw a name from the past this young man I knew started as an intern... I knew him just as he transitioned from said intern to paid employee... he was recently promoted to AVP... Assistant Vice President.. now mostly I say big whoop because you can't swing a dead cat in my company and not hit a Vice President of some flavor ... however... I have 7 years on this guy, granted he's a tech-y but still what did I do wrong???  Grumble Grumble... so I have my mentor and my pre-formatted program so we'll see where I can go from here...

I must say I was a super nice guy and sent him a congrats Email - he is after all a VERY nice guy and his wife is really really nice... so I have to stick that into my flavorless chew of an issue and move on...

Nana - I may bring a bottle for while we wait for sis and the baby... Just because.

Later

EDIT: - I did it again... look at the post below this one - lack of Bubba time I don't need quality time he can be a dork in under 15 minutes... yeesh!  Why do I do this to myself???  I really have to stop poking fate in the eye it pissed her off and she's a vindictive bitch.
