Funny story: We've been keeping the windows in the apartment open for the last week or so because it's been really nice out and we don't have central AC. There's a big fruit and veggie garden behind our building on the other side of the block that's currently being fixed up, planted and generally tended. Today I started noticing faint whiffs of something that smelled like rotting garbage so I figured it was fertilizer day or they had started a compost heap or something. Yuck. Fast forward to this evening. For some reason I noticed that I mainly smelled it when approaching the window near the closet when I was hanging up laundry and then it hit me: the smell wasn't wafting in from outside...it was in the closet. I pulled out the luggage and gear I stow in that part of the closet (big closet) and found out that somehow (exactly two weeks ago after the last big band rehearsal I went to) I threw my practice amp into its place and managed to squash a little field mouse. It sat there for two weeks. We've been wondering why the cat has been going apeshit the last several days. 1/2 a bottle of ammonia later we have all windows open and two fans on full blast hoping it won't smell by bed time. This has been a presentation of davio's Funny Story by davio. Narrated by davio. Illustrated by davio. Thank you for listening.

moot, I think you mean cf (cubic feet). Who do we still have in SoCal? We need a role call.

Yuck.

Bastard-coated bastard with bastard filling. I want one of those.

What's that?

This thread is getting close to the most replies ever award.

Is it sad that I made a 3D Google SketchUp model of my bedroom last night complete with furnature so I can see what it would look like in different arrangements?

That's awesome.

10 Drummer Band ...oh wait, there's already one called Garbage.

What's that like?

By "they" he means his parents when he was still at a young age...long ago.

Thanks I needed that.

Wrong thread?

You're a private fishing hole.

Honestly, honesty has always been a big thing with me. I remember my old man saying "davio, if you don't have honesty, you don't have nothing." I mean, honestly, can you get any more honest-to-god than that? I don't know. Really, this recruiter was totally cool. He sounded older and really down-to-earth as opposed to the young blood suckers I work with on the retail side (the ones that hire for the branches). He's the kind of person that makes it easy to be honest and open with him in a convo. Nothing but good things.

...so I ROCKED the phone interview and it's on to Stage 2 where I have to swim through arctic waters and backflip through razor-sharp, fiery rings before battling the other applicants in an office supply deathmatch armed only with staplers, foam stress balls and as many papercuts as I can dish out from a single 8.5"x11" piece of copy paper.

That's exactly what's gotten me this far in life.

You mean you own ?

On a not-so-Family-Guy-oriented note: I've got a phone interview this afternoon with the recruiter for the position I recently applied for. I wasn't sure if I'd even get this far (even though this is really only the first step) considering it's a LARGE step up from where I am now. We shall see.

1910...that was a good year. I remember it like it was yesterday...all my troubles seemed so far away. Sorry, wrong thread.

You're a useless thread. BAM! Rub some salt in it.

Stealing Dan...?

I didn't realise this thread started on my birthday! Let's see if we can make it another 8 months...
