I'm not sure that you can really call those things "dives"!

The guy in the first one looks like he is going to be in pain for a while. And can you dive while holding your nose?? :)

Hey Ms. Creek - We did have a lot of fun that night. It's supposed to be a hot weekend here so I'm hoping to get in more swim time.

I think those do qualify as dives Blondie. If you watch the Olympics this August, I bet you will see some 3 meter "Point To The Nearest Shed" dives where the preferred entry is feet first.

I know Chewy, you would think there would be at least one cannonball. I'm going to work on those this weekend.

Ok Rubye Jean, what the heck is the "Goober Dive"? I want to see pictures of that.

Hey Samantha - Thank you for stopping by. Funny, Billy did mention something about being in a little bit of pain from his dives. Poor Bill is the only one we know who can do great flips off the board so we make him do tricks for us everytime he goes in the pool. But we reward him with beer so it's all good. Oh, and diving while holding your nose actually earns you bonus points :)

Paper Strips. I Don't.

You know what's a pain in the ass? Shredding bills and bank statements.  It's time consuming, it's messy, and one box of paper creates three trash bags full of 1.5 inch X .3 inch paper strips. I want my bills to now be sent on cheese. That way when I shred them, I can at least at do something with the by-product. Put it on a sandwich, throw it on some pasta, toss it on top of some corn chips - all of which is better than trying to shove 20 pounds of paper into a trash bag meant to hold no more than 10 pounds. Great nachos CJ! Why thank you. That's my electric bill you are eating. I shred everything. Cable bill? Shred that bad boy. Don't need anyone seeing what extras I rented (don't judge!). Phone bills? What if someone finds my itemized statement and starts crank calling my relatives? Shred it too! Retirement statements? No one has to know I need to work for another 70 years. Shred, shred, shred! Amazon receipts? Ohhhh no. None of your bees wax. Yes, I

Embarrassing Work Moment # 94

I peed on my pants leg today at work. I'm a squatter. I know sitting on a public toilet will probably not bring me irreparable harm, but it just skeeves me to no end. Hovering can be tricky business however - one rogue stream as I had today and you've got yourself a pair of pee pee pants. Luckily this happened at the end of the day. It did prolong my day however, as I wanted to sit at my desk for a bit, hoping the spot would fade prior to my leaving the building. And, as it turns out, it was a particularly crowded day on the campus, with students moving in for the fall semester. Hopefully no one noticed as I quickly walked behind the buildings to the parking lot, glancing behind and down as I walked to make sure the offending spot was not standing out too much. Maybe I should keep a spare pair of pants in my office from now on.
