Thoughts from the Archangel

I am just raging today.  It might be the lack of sleep, the head cold that won’t go away, or the fact that I must interact with people on a regular basis.  Life might be better if I were a really wealthy hermit.  I will try to keep from screaming at people today.  I will be successful if a) the FSB doesn’t say one word in the company meeting today and b) the RFAC doesn’t come near me today.  I’m not quite sure why, but she’s trying to be my friend…ugh.

Update:  EPIC FAIL on the part of the FSB to keep her blasted mouth shut during the meeting.  She asked no less than four questions and had to make “fun” little comments the rest of the time.  I also had the misfortune of her sitting behind me.

Okay, sports!  Yeah, it’s hard to talk about this without having a bit of the creeping rage curling the edges of the page with its white-hot heat. 

• The Brett Favre Saga of 2009 threatens to continue: while Bretty-Brett- Brett says he’s retired and not interested in going to the ViQueens, there’s no official word, and I’ll believe it when I see it.  Hell, I’ll probably not believe it then.  The ‘Queens’ owner says they’re interested in Favre, and I do believe that.  We’ll hear more of this after OTAs and mini-camps are wrapping up – that’s what Brett doesn’t want to have to do.
• At least Bobby Jenks is honest.  He might have learned that from his manager.  I don’t know how I feel about “message” pitches.  One of your guys is recovering from a blast to the hands, you may want a little retaliation.  But this just breeds additional problems.  However, if I were on the mound and had the kind of control that Jenks does, I’d be a lot more willing to brush a few back just to make sure everyone knew what’s what.
• I read somewhere that baseball “is a marathon, not a sprint”, but it’s hard to climb out of the cellar when you dig it that deep, guys.  It’s early, I know.
• The Red Wings have a lead on the series with the Ducks, standing 3-2.  The 6th game is tonight in sunny CA.  I’m hoping that the lack of depth on the Ducks’ part is wearing them nice and thin.  It looks like the winner of this series will go on to play hottie Patrick Sharp and the Chicago Blackhawks.  Rafalski may play — Draper will not.
• I love juicy gossip as much as the next person, but what is it about Michael Phelps that the British tabs want to cause a self-destruct?  Actually, it doesn’t come as much surprise that an athlete such as he can go a few rounds in the sack…plus, he’s not hot in the face, but, as the DH says: Put a bag on his head.

 I should probably do some real work today.  But, why not make it a bonus type of day and add another hottie to check out?  Um, okay!
