Positivity

I can't bitch about it anymore. When it moves from unbelievable to surreal as it did this afternoon, I have to wave the white flag and surrender. I'll throw most of my eggs into the "current application outstanding with a hiring committee" basket and rely on my vast experience to secure my release from Alcatraz. The rest of the eggs are out on assignment, searching for another basket to fall into.

So what to do with this post? A couple of blogs (this one and this one) are asking for subject suggestions. I won't do that to the ten of you. Afterall, reading is fundamental, it is not work. In an effort to be as positive as possible, I put forth this partial list:

The positive charged element of an atom is called a proton

A positive pole of a magnet is called the north pole

The positive terminal of a battery is called the anode

A positive transaction into an account is called a debit

A positive trend on Wall Street is called a bull market

A positive vote in U.S. Senate during a roll call vote is called yea

A positive number is greater than zero

Why the hell'd you pick me as Blottie? Are ya nutty? I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy!

Thanks baby. Honey come on over to the Cafe. I'm buyin' cuz it's Jo's birthday and all the pretty drinks are free. Well, even the ugly drinks are free. Okay. I'm buyin'. I'm drivin' too. No need to worry. And you're not working because you're off this week. I landed some pretty nice fixin's too from wedding blogs, so the food is good! Found a kick ass catering company in Queensland. Now all I have to do is move there to get service. So sit down, relax, let doofy Jorge handle everything and enjoy the night. Oh Christ, here come Serverus with his whip. LEAH!!!!! Contain him. Dear God, how'd we get this lucky?

Positively interesting.

And if you're as stupid as me, reading is work.

A neutron walks into a bar, asks the bartender how much for a beer. Bartender replies, "For you? No charge!"

This is pretty clever, Bob.

I can't even muster up that much cleverness, nor sarcasm. I'm just completely drained.

Take care, and I hope things turn around soon.

I have no idea what I just read here, but it sounds like something super intelligent...and maybe good? I'm not that smart. I'm going to lie down now because I used all my grey matter reading this post.

Glad to see you're on the positive side, Bob!

XOXOXO

BTW...are you only giving out one Blottie Award? I've been waiting for mine for like...a long time! ;-)

I've been told I need to be more positive, so this is what I came up with as a first step. I am not smart enough to come up with all of these, I did have to look up a couple.

RC... Now that you've actually asked to be Blottie #2, I'll need to make my list and check it twice to see who's been naughty and who's been nice.
