I learned that a new pizza/sandwich place opened up in our town. It's a small local place but they have a wood fired oven. ****ing awesome pizza. I could eat there everyday. Easily the best pizza I've had in a long, long, long time.

I love a good pizza. One of my favorites around here is a place called Jet's. Their deep dish is killer. Then again, my favorite pizza place of all time is Oregano's in Scottsdale, AZ.

How to obtain sick leave : Thanks to Spencer:
Sick Leave

I urgently needed a few days off work,
But I knew the boss would not allow me to take
leave.I thought that maybe if I acted 'CRAZY' then he would tell me to take a few days off.



So I hung upside down on the ceiling and made funny noises. My co-worker (who's blonde) asked me what I was doing
. I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb,So that the Boss would think I was 'CRAZY'And give me a few days off.



A few minutes later the Boss came into the office And asked 'What are you doing?'
I told him I was a light bulb.



He said, 'You are clearly stressed out.
Go home and recuperate for a couple of days.'
I jumped down and walked out of the office.



When my co-worker (the blonde) followed me,
The Boss asked her..And where do you think you're going?'


(You're gonna love this.....)
























She said,
'I'm going home too, I can't work in the dark!

Number #26 I've seen happen even took part myself !

LOL @ 8 & 12
*
Some of these ring so true
*
*
Even when opportunity knocks, you still have to get off your *** and open the door.*

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to
immediately clear your computer history if you die.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when
you realize you're wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap
when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm
pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you
how the person died.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a
moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything*productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue
Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and
it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never
wash this - ever.

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello?
Hello? **** it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and
then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I
know not to answer when they call.

18. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

19. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given
Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.
*
21. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was
younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it.

22. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in
each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

23. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm
trying to finish a text.

24. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between
boredom and hunger.

25. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you
just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?

26. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of
cars team up to prevent an A-hole from cutting in at the front. Stay
strong, brothers and sisters!

27. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never
get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

28. Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber & dumber
every year?

29. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure
you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

30. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times
and still not know what time it is.

Yes, it is painful but it is also the point where I just learned something.

Yeah I hate all that web searching to find out

I actually think most old movies don't benefit from Blu-ray

Oh heck, just put it on delicate cycle.

Mine has a light, how old is your fridge?

This is illegal in my state and the cops are competing to see who can write up the most tickets.

IMO it is worse when you are sitting in the passenger seat and you see that telephone pole coming right at you at high speed (this has happened to me on more than one occasion).

This is why I like side airbags, even though I don't care for front airbags. Do your best to protect your head if you are sliding sideways into a tree or pole (on the oncoming side).
