How to make life more hell….

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2009

This past night around 3 my wife woke me up to tell me that she is leaking a lot of fluid. We both thought that her water had broken. My wife is almost 38 weeks and our daughter was born 2 hours after the water broke. So we rushed to the hospital. Entrance via ER:

“We are here because I think that my water broke and that I am in labor.”
“You want to go to L&D?” Do I have to mention that the lady smelled from booze?
My wife said “Yes”.
“Just walk up to the L&D.” With a broken water you walk…? You know, you never learn out…

But wait, it comes better!

Once we arrive at L&D the 5 minute interrogation about name, b-day, age, previous pregnancies. Duh! Didn’t we just told we come because we think the water is broken? So a green dressed female - an alien as you might have guessed - approaches my wife, me and the kids and says: “You have to come by yourself. There is only one visitor allowed.”

Dang!

Bang!


That was my wife’s and my jar dropping on the floor - synchronously. We think my wife is in labor and the alien does not want me there?

My wife said “No“. I really admire her for staying calm!
I said: “We do not deal with this shit.” Yes, I wasn’t calm anymore…

Turned around and left. Leaving an irritated alien behind. Would you even want to give birth to your child with an alien around?

We ended up driving 80 miles to the next hospital where my wife got treated the way you think you are get treated when going in labor. No questions asked about our kids being there.

Just a false alarm—but which hospital do we go to when it’s the real labor…?

Management consulting = mortgage?

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2009

Besides getting spammed from mortgage trends (Welcome to the Mortgagetrends@mail.readylist.com.au mailing list!) lately things are shaping up in a rather crazy way:

There are e-mails coming asking how my company does help with
a) Getting a mortgage
b) Financing without a down-payments.

That includes people sending me personal information (address, social, phone number, SSN, working history). Maybe I should call up one of these people to find out if they actually did submit this info or if it is just another SPAM SCAM…

In any event - let me repeat I am a management consultant.

In November I wrote about Spam getting less.

Maybe it’s just my spam filter which has gotten smarter?

snow…

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2009

Why is it that some powdered sugar on the roads leads to snow closing of almost everything? Is an inch or two really that much of a disaster that the public life has to be shut down?

When I was in school there was no closing even with a foot of new snow overnight… I drove a car on summer tires over the Austrian Alps - passing many 4WD; some with snow chains…

I even watched this one guy with snow chains on less then an inch of snow!

I am writing on an article about testing, testing procedures and failure of testing.

If you have any anecdotes to share - I would appreciate that. Especially when you allow me to use them :)
