Happy Saturday

I don't have a pic on my computer... its just blue

I have not looked in the mirror, but I feel melancholy- and like plain jello so I am thinking if I did look in the mirror that would be my thought.

There are several words I say allot... like "drive **** head!!" and when I am not I love "happy"

I twirl my spaghetti& eat pizza with hands or knife and fork if the situation calls for it.

Love and Peace

[quote=BigMike50;25481189]Good morning welcome to the start of hopefully a wonderful weekend.

Today's Question(s):

What is your current desktop picture?.......My house decorated for Halloween. John put us on the front porch looking like faded ghosts. You'll see, the Halloween thread is coming soon. Warning, only those in touch with their inner child should view it.



When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was the first thing you thought?....Wow my hair looks good.



Is there a particular a word that you say a lot?.... Work has been totally aggravating the crap out of me to the point that I'm seriously thinking about quitting. Some administrative out of touch moron decided to change our report system. Instead of carrying one sheet of paper with everything we need, we have to carry 3 sheets for every patient. Most of the information we need is missing and there is only one paragraph pertaining to our needs on the first page. I refuse to be told how to do my job and continue to do it the old way. I will invite them to fire me so I can draw unemployment for a year at their expense. I swear I'd fire the idiot that changed the procedure. Everyone is po'd and it has to be the most idiotic thing I've seen them do thus far. It's an embarrassment.



What do you label yourself as?....Eccentric.



Bonus Question:


Who or what inspired you to work in your field?....Money



What current T.V. program do you look forward to every week?.....My Ghost Story or Celebrity Ghost Stories. (I have a way better picture than the ones I've seen on TV.)



Just for fun:

Do you twirl your spaghetti or cut it?
....Twirl



Do you eat pizza with a knife and folk?....No



Favorite Alcoholic drink?
....Champagne

Have a great weekend everyone Thanks. You too but I have to go to crazy hospital again.
