I’m Bitter Content

You know how you have a really good day at work and that is something that has literally not happened in a decade? Then you go to work the next day and walk into a shitstorm which involves hundreds of thousand of production records disappearing? Like gone, gone. No discernible system errors. Nothing. No problem to track. They were just no longer there.

Kind of fucked up the good feelings of the day before.

Anyway, it’s possible when I got home, I teared up a few times. I managed to quell the waterworks. Not because a good cry isn’t in order, but because I didn’t want to deal with the inevitable post cry headache.

Randy heated up dinner and we sat down to eat. By then, I was feeling marginally better. So far, we have not progressed beyond “marginally”. Anyway, while we were eating, Randy gave me an odd look.

Me: What are you looking at?

Randy, gnawing on a rib bone: What?

Me: You’re looking at me funny.

Randy: I’m bitter content right now.

As it turns out, when Randy talks with a mouth full of food, it turns his “verys” into “bitters”. I didn’t have to ask him what he meant. I worked it out.

Then, I tried to imagine what it would be like to be “bitterly content”. I guess it would have to include schadenfreude of some sort. Oh fucking hell, you guys, this is amazing. I just spelled “schadenfreude” right the first time. I need a gold star or something. 

Anyway, Randy and I are going to see Southern Culture On The Skids. It’s been a while since we’ve seen live music and I am ready to go out and have fun. By the time you read this, the show will be over. I hope I am chock full of afterglow.

Here’s the latest with my stuffed dog. Randy is having way too much fun with Dude.

Here are a few memes I had on my Rubber Shoes In Hell Facebook page that are in honor of national sarcasm awareness month.

 

21 Thoughts.

  1. *sticks Gold Star to Rage-M’s forehead*
    Perfect!
    October 18 is ‘National No Bra Day’ it’s in my display case, along with my bedraggled cowgirl doll falling off her rocking pony for ‘National Kick Butt Day’ because she isn’t creepy enough to just sit casually behind her horse, and the rocking pony isn’t taxidermied and anytime you use a Jenny Lawson book in your display case, you really SHOULD have a creepy doll and taxidermied animal parts.
    *sigh*
    I just meant that I liked the ‘…take your bra off…’ meme…. I have a similar theme going on in my October display case.
    Bitterly content?
    Every fucking day.

  2. Thought you’d like that one.
    Cannot BELIEVE you haven’t seen it 🙂

    BUT! I fucked up.
    The 13th is ‘No Bra’ day, the 18th is ‘Chocolate Cupcake Day!’
    Easy to see how I mixed ’em up 😉
    I seriously thought you were using this calendar to fit with your ‘National Sarcasm Month’ thing you got going on in Spades.
    That I LOVE!

    • Terri Lee!!!!
      The ‘double stuff’ got me too!!!!!
      *blink blink*
      Michelle – I had fun making my display case with this one 🙂
      Looking forward to this week’s new Memes!!!

  3. I think another word for “bitter content” is “resignation”!

    Hey, I love your calendar Lisa! National Speak Up For Service Day falls on my birthday. What is THAT? Is that where you yell at the deli woman, “I was here first, BITCH!!!” HAHA!!! Honestly, I could have gotten some better stuff on my day, like chocolate cupcakes.

    That bra meme? At first, I thought Michelle was having a yard sale! 3 people in my neighborhood are already trying to outbid each other for that thing! 😉

  4. I live in a town that loves street fairs. There are three this weekend. Last night, walking through one of them, a small girl was carrying a brand-new T-Rex stuffed animal, about half as tall as she is. She was walking, holding Grandma’s hand, and “ROAR”ing at everyone she passed. Very happy with herself. When she “ROAR”ed at me, I did my famous T-Rex imitation, with my hands pulled up and my legs bent, and my mouth goofy. She laughed, and Grandma laughed, and I laughed.
    Work yesterday was boring but not alarming.
    T-Rex is good.
    I hope you get a T-Rex and enjoy the concert. My fave is “Camel Walk.”

    • That is hilarious!! Camel Walk is a great song. I like Daddy Was a Preacher. And I had stepped away for a minute when they played it and I missed it. Still a little butt hurt.

  5. Did they play “House of Bamboo”? I love that song. I just got two texts from my friend Brenda with pictures of our tickets to see Neko Case at the Fox Theater. At least I’m assuming that’s what they are as they are much too tiny to read on the little screen of my phone.
    The voice to text meme is hilarious. Briana got a voice to text from her friend Raven that said “If I don’t hear from you in a whine, I’ll call you.”
    Did that mean he wouldn’t call if he did hear from her in a whine?
    Bitter content sounds too much like medicine for me.

  6. I’m sorry you were having a terrible day because your husband heated dinner, which is as close to cooking as some guys get, and then said he was “very content” while looking at you.
    You’re part of why he’s very content.
    Also ribs, and I’m sure some other things.
    That should have been a gold star day.

    • He not only heated up dinner, but he was the one who smoked the ribs in the smoker to begin with. He’s a peach. He really does go a long way toward helping me feel peaceful. Sometimes just holding his hand is enough.
