George, who is a Quality Assurance (Q.A.) Engineer, was telling me recently how someone he works with brings cakes and other baked treats to the meetings she holds. I thought that sounded nice and offered to bake some goodies for George to bring to the meetings, giving the woman a break and making my hubby happy. As always, it wasn't a normal conversation between two people. Duh.
Gracie: "Want me to bake some brownies or banana bread for you to bring?"
George: "Nope."
Gracie: "Why not?"
George: "Cause. It's not my job."
Gracie: "It's not her job either."
George: "I know."
Gracie: "Are you worried they won't like you anymore?" *trying to be funny, implying that my baked goods suck. Which...they don't. Unless everybody LIES to me.*
George: "I don't WANT them to like me. I want them to FEAR me."
Gracie: "...um...it's Q.A., sweetie...not a BATTLE."
George: *Glares hatefully at wife*
Gracie: "Well...it's not."
Aaaand, that's why nobody at George's office gets to partake of my baked goodness. ...wait..that didn't sound right.

In response to my entry about the movie, United 93, I received the following email, which just touched my heart:
Awe...thanks so much for saying: "...God bless those men and women who fought back and God bless the men and women in uniform who spend their lives keeping us safe, both here and abroad. You are loved and truly appreciated..."
As a soldier I hear waaaay too often how much the war sucks (naw, really???) and how Bush is an idiot and how wah wah wah Iife is so hard. You know what? Get up every day before the sun comes up, run 4 miles, come home, shower, put on the uniform, THEN go to work for 8 hours and wonder when you're going to be selected to spend a year in the big, hot, litter box. After that, THEN you can tell me how bad everything is.
What's harder to believe is the media who keeps saying that morale is low amoung military members...WHAT??? Sure, there are a few complainers, but that's true with any job. Most of us LOVE our country and feel nothing but pride when we look down at the flags on our arms. As for me...I think I have the best job in the world. All of my nephews think I am THE coolest Aunt on the planet...one even has a set of my dog tags on his bed post.
So, if you know anyone who spends even two seconds of his day feeling sorry for soldiers...tell him Specialist [Anonymous] sends him a flying raspberry. I willingly signed my name on the dotted line, bucko...I will take your support but never your pity.
Your biggest fan in Germany as ever,
[A treasured member of the military. Anonymous, at user's request.]
It is the soldier who serves the flag, who bleeds for it, who is buried beneath it so you can have the right to spit on it.
Her signature line is just awesome. I love it. Thanks again for such a great note and for keeping us free!

In addition to the ever-growing Angst Store that I add products to weekly, I have also created some new links to products at Amazon.com for those of you with senses of humor and/or a desire for a couple of cool gadgets. I won't lie: this is a shameless pimping method, due to the added thousands of additional DAILY visitors to this site since the Family Guy episode that featured Ding Fries Are Done (and which has caused my host's servers to smoke just a little bit). If you need these (or any other) products, feel free to buy...or don't...it's worth a shot, eh? The links are listed below the search terms.

can you be allergic to the sun? and swell up? [Yes, in fact, you can be. I am. And people ALWAYS thought I was lying about it and that my boyfriend was beating me up. I learned the hard way that it is NOT, in fact, funny to let them believe that.]
