We are having our departmental holiday party today. Yes, it seems that our department chose to celebrate Groundhog’s Day instead of the more festive holidays of the year. I am sure that we will have a departmental luncheon this upcoming Flag Day as well. That seems to have the same amount of festive packed glee that Groundhog Day brings to the table. It turns out that our holiday party that was supposed to take place in December was usurped by a client appreciation dinner that was set up without looking at anyone’s schedule first. In doing this, the people at the top of the heap would have been going to the client appreciation thingy and not paying for our Holiday Party meal. Ergo rescheduling to Groundhog’s Day. It is a free lunch though, so I am not really complaining much.
I do heartily apologize for all this nonsense about nothing. I have found that when one has taken a math history class, one needs to inflict math history upon others once every few years. It was an oath we took at the end of the course. A blood oath. We all pricked our fingers with the point end of those compasses and shook on it. It was a very solemn affair.
Update: I just got back from lunch and lo and behold all access to blogger.com blogs has been axed. The surf Nazis at my work have struck again. My posting will probably become less frequent now. I am sorry to say. I am quite disheartened.
To recap:
Groundhog is just ground pork, right?
Again, I am throwing away someone else’s trash from the white elephant gift exchange
I do again sincerely apologize for all the math history foisted upon this blog in the past 2 days
I will attempt to keep my Monday – Thrusday posting ritual, but it may fall to the wayside.
Damn Internet surf Nazis!
Different than “Damn, Internet Smurf Nazis”

I mean...groundhog is not literally ground up hog...ugh..thinkinga bout it makes my fingers type wrong. just nasty. can you imagine some hiljack all excited to eat groundhog? *shudders*
I am not sure why you are so flustered. Ground Pork is quite tasty. We use it in our spaghetti all the time.
I don't eat pork. I really haven't ever eaten anything that hasn't clucked or moo-ed. And I hardly eat them.
I'm not flustered...my fingers were just very excited.
Maybe it was the fact that you wrote about something instead of nothing [which you seem to write very well about btw..] and that made my fingers excited...which caused me to error in my typing.
You put pork in your spaghetti, really? My sister puts chicken in hers. My daughter got me started on noodles [angel hair] with just butter sauce. No meat, no red sauce...nada.
Anyhoodles, that's all the useless rambling I have for today.
Ta-ta.
It's Ground-HAWG.
I hate the surf-nazis. They're just people who are jealous of others with better blogs.
kimmyk:
but, pork is quite tasty.
nancy:
noted, and will make sure the reference is correct next year.
NYM:
it was the wholesale blocking of the typical blogging sites (blogspot and live journal-esque site) I think it was nothing personal, but fascism rarely is personal.
Jaimie:
most of corporate America has some Reichish qualities, especially in IT.
ACW:
I am sure this oversite will be remedied by tomorrow.
