Normal being a relative term as we all know. The Wife unit says of me, "You are probably considered very normal on the planet you are from."

I think that covers it.

I dunno? Our company's new head office is in Tempe and I've been working on a project with someone from there...wasn't exactly sure where that was. I'll let you know if I'm ever on my way there!

They have moved the head of the office here. When does the body follow? Is this a sly way to capture the U.S.? Why would they want to? And does Tide really brighten better than the other detergents? Hmmm,...things to ponder while idling sitting on my **** waiting for Romi to call.

According to the Wife unit, I am here on a mission to observe humon behavior.

We dunt(tm) talk about that. The ensuing panic from the folks up North would be more than we could stand.

I got Romi back and she seems to be fine. She got an oil change, a fuse update for her fan, and software upgrade.

They gave me a nice 07 S that was sparking silver and black. Poor thing had been abused. Swirl marks, water stains. It only have 321 miles on it. I just could not take it back like that.

Then this morning we were at the dealership asking about the new Clubman and right in front of me was a Chili Red and black that had swirl marks all over the bonnet!!! ON THE FREAKING SHOWROOM FLOOR!!!!!! ARRRRRRRRRRRGGHH!!!!!!

I may actually be around on Christmas day as we are celebrating Christmas tomorrow! WOOHOO! Have a birthday party to attend today,....damn it.

And in keeping with the holiday spirit. A wall-o-text for you.
======
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the forums,
no one posting and there was no quorum.

The stickies were hung from the tops of the page,
in hopes that no one would go all a rage!

The posters were nestled all snug in thier seats,
to protect themselves from admins stomping on thier feet!

And Clo in her stockings and I on my gaurd,
ready to settle in for a long verbage war.

When out of the hard drive there rose such a clatter,
I sprang from my seat to see what's the matter!

Away to my computer I flew in a flash
hoping my hard drive would not severely crash

I flew open the cabinet, where the drive was stored,
and what lay before my eyes could not be ignored

It was then to my sight did suddenly appear
A miniature sleigh with 8 robotic reindeer?

The driver was small but jumped with a nod.
I new knew right away he was a member of Geek Squad!

More rapid than a T3 or any mainframe
He whistles and shouts all of thier names!

Now Dasher, now Dancer, now Prancer and Vizen
On Comet, on Cupid, on Donder, on Blitzen!

To the top of the computer! To the top of the drive!
Rip it apart, tear it all down, but keep it alive!

And in a twinkling, as I heard the screws fall,
they tore into the computer with no fear at all!

The little bots performed thier complex ballet,
balancing the hard drive as they pulled it away.

And into the slot they did fill once again
a new hard drive that started to spin!

The connection was made, the course revealed,
as they transferred the data with a merry squeal

And once complete, they with drew from the drive,
and sealed up the case like a giant bee hive.

And with a wink of his eye from the little lead bot,
I knew my hard drive was safe on the spot.

He sprang to his sleigh and he gave a shrill call,
and the rest of the bots were jolly on the ball!

They moved to the sleigh with all due speed
and darted out of view to the next callers heed!

The call I heard as they drove out into the night,
"You twits better start treating your computers right!"

My car should be at port today in Charleston! I'll hopefully see it by New Years or at the very latest the first week of January.

As for my holiday, I get two weeks off for the holidays. I'm a teacher... The downside is that I have conjunctivitis (pink eye)! Damn students are vectors for every pathogen imaginable!!! If you don't have an immune system made of steel, stay away from schools! Happy holidays.

belatedly Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day to you Dennis!

for Christmas I found a small ding and scratch on both sides of Mia. I try to have a positive attitude about the legitimacy of the existence of children, but these are both towards the back and I suspect the opening of rear doors by pink eyed little rascals.
