Resolution

It's a brand new year. Time to make a resolution, I guess. My resolution is to try to post more often this year than last.
Don't want to get burned out on my first post this year, so that's all.

The Game Has Ended

Thanks to an over-inquisitive co-worker, Himmy (name changed to protect the innocent), the Annoy-A-Tron is no longer a complete secret. Himmy started snooping around, and since it was planted directly above his desk he heard it much too well. When he started lifting ceiling tiles and almost put his hand on it, in the AC vent, I let them in on it.
That's the bad news.
The good news is that there are still 3 people in the office that don't know about the device. Blaine, Frathan, and Suzanne (all names changed) don't have a clue. So, with Jolie, Himmy, the branch manager, Jess, and now Posh (all names changed) in on the Annoy-A-Tron we hid it again. This time, directly over Blaine's desk. This is one cat that cannot handle this type of stress. I expect a complete meltdown on his part within just a few days.

Change of Location

Well, they were getting a little too close to finding it, so I decided to move it just a little further away from the motion sensor for the alarm. It is now closer to the copy machine. That should throw them off a bit. "Jolie" went a little crazy on Tuesday trying to figure out what the beep is. B-Diddy and I were on the verge of explosion with laughter.
In addition to moving it, I changed the sound back to the alternating beep/chirp. I like a little variety in my pranks.
Had a some hail in our area on Tuesday afternoon, so I have been a little busier than usual for this time of the year, and not able to update the blog. Heading to Tyler area today to look at several damaged campers.
As my old friend Brad Hardin used to say:

Spring has sprung,

The flowers are in blossom.

If you want to get your finger bit,

Poke it in a 'possum.

Let the games...continue...

It has started again. The Annoy-a-Tron is back in action, running full speed! "B-Diddy" and I have been giggling already this morning as people discuss where and what the beeping is. I must have changed the setting inadvertently because it is just a beep now. The chirp is not happening. The threat was made again today to call the alarm company. We had a rep. from our IT department in last Friday and "Jolie" is blaming her for doing something in the computer room that started the beeps again.
The idea came up that this would be a good episode for "The Office". We have had 2 bats flying around in here at different times, so it wouldn't be too far fetched for them to make an episode featuring our office again. I am getting a little nervous that someone is going to find the source before my year is up. So far it's been a month and the device has proven to be worth every penny.

On another track, we had a great time last weekend with Posh, Batman and all our families in "Jaco, TX". Getting really excited about the wedding.

The Fox is in the Hen House

I am off work today, but last night I was able to stop by the office and put the Annoy-a-Tron back into service. I had to stop by and pick up my W-2 so I can get some $$$$ back from my Uncle.
This is yet another weekend that can't end soon enough. I can't wait for Monday to see how crazy people are going....AGAIN!!!!
Hope your favorite team wins the Super Bowl. It really doesn't matter to me since the Cowboys aren't playing.

Get to meet a Hero!

Nothing really exciting to tell today. I figured I'd better put something up to let my legion of readers know that I have not fallen off the face of the earth. (And there was great rejoicing.) I have been informed by "Chad" that from now on he wants to be referred to as B-Diddy. And so it shall be done.
I have not had an opportunity to put operation Annoy-the-entire-office-out-of-their-minds back into play since I haven't made it to the office early, or been able to stay late this week. Blame my wife, "Gracie", as she will be called to protect her identity. She has been sick the past 2 days, running fever, sore throat, etc. So, I have been responsible for getting the kids to school and barely making it to work on time, much less early enough to plant the Annoy-a-Tron again.
Maybe tonight or in the morning, but without a doubt the insanity shall begin again on Monday.
We're traveling to a foreign country (Waco, TX) to visit with my bro., "Posh" (no relation to any Spice Girl), and his fiancee, "Batman" (both names changed, of course) and for one of her multitude of wedding showers. I get to meet one of my many heroes, Larry Northern (name not changed to protect the "innocent").
I'm bored with typing for now. I'll not post again until I have annoyed someone.

My son is truly "of" me

While waiting in line to drop off my son today I found out that he is without a doubt my son. We were about 10th in line to drop off at the front door of the school so, as usual, he took off his seat belt and was leaning forward on the armrest between the front seats. He pointed forward and asked, "What is that for?"
"What?" I asked.
"That thing that says 'REAR'."
"Oh, that turns on the REAR WIPER." I say, nonchalantly.
A few seconds go by, and then he starts to giggle.
A few more seconds go by, then I start to giggle.
We decided if we could invent one of those for the bathroom, we'd be millionaires.
Yeah, he's mine all right.

Annoy-a-tron still off. Waiting for the right time to re-activate.
