TC the Terrible

I got the magic e-mail this morning. It was my turn to pee in a cup.

Not a big deal for someone that has a clean living life style like me. They test for drugs, not scotch, meaning I’m in the clear.  And I did sign a contract consenting to the test when I took the job, so no need to complain. What pissed me off, is that I got the notice AFTER I’d already gotten my morning piss out of the way.

I’m not a guy that can piss on demand either. I had to slam three cups of coffee and two liters of Dasani to get the pump primed again. Now that I’ve provided a “sample” I’ll end up having to piss another eight times this morning.

Nice.

The universal sign for being married.

This weekend of football was about ten times better than last weekend. Not because the Living Legend won again, or because the Browns offense finally showed up to play. While the Arkansas State INDIANS pulled off a home win in high style after getting fucked over in Texas and rained out in Memphis, even that wasn’t the highlight of the weekend.

No, the highlight was getting decent HD service for the first time.

I’ve been suffering with Cox cable since moving into the new place this summer. Their version of HD is a bigger pile of crap than their slow assed broad band Internet service. Verizon Fios for television is a quantum leap better in quality and number of channels. Plus, the package is cheaper on a monthly basis even without a sign up discount. NFL games in HD from Cox looked identical to the regular broadcasts. On Fios the games in HD damn near jump out of the screen.
