Corvette For Sale!

by Slack, on April 1st, 2002

vette.jpgThat’s right, my Corvette is on the market. This example of pure speed is up for grabs in order to pay off my credit card debt that I built up purchasing snowboarding equipment. So, come on, write me the check for $7,999 and it’s all yours! It’s got a brand spankin’ new 350 V8 in her with less than 500 miles on it. Imagine owning a Corvette with NO OIL LEAKS! Wouldn’t that be grand? And I could pay off my debts and move on to better things! So, help a guy out and drop me an email with an offer!

Good Morning Tucson!

How about that? It’s Monday, it’s April Fool’s, and it’s a good day… So far…

I didn’t encounter the stupidity I am accustomed to on my way in to work today. Drivers seemed to be unnaturally alert this morning, and my breakfast (hot dog and tea) was damn good.

I almost had a coronary when I read a daily report my team at work puts out. This is a very high vis report, and very important to our Vice Presidents… Well, they pooched it on purpose. I was half way to HR, about to fire this guy when I was made aware it was an April Fool’s joke sent only to me. I thought this was going to be the worst Monday I’d ever encountered…

So, my conclusion is: this is the calm before the storm. Let’s hope I am wrong…
