Pet Peeve

Where did "funner" come from? It's not a word.
I am starting to hear it a lot...just now someone on the Today Show described a fashion element as "funner", I could not believe it. Don't they have educated grammatically correct presenters? But I'm an alien, so I thought I'd check just to be sure.
Fun, funny, funnier...there's no funner -- not even in the American dictionary.
So don't use it!
If something is better or funnier it is more fun !
Okay, now I feel better.

Hmmmm

So the rumors are flying that all contractors will probably be released at the end of the month - suck!
They are going through a reorganization and it looks likely that the group I am in will be moved to work under a woman who does not like contractors. I can understand that. I good manager should protect their employees at the expense of contract employees...the problem is there is enough work for all of us. I have no idea how they will cope if they lay off 20 PMs.

Today has been a gloomy day, it has rained almost all day and not helped with my frame of mind. Even the job postings look bleak...where is this economic recovery everyone keeps talking about?

Garlic

So the S.O. came down with Strep last week, probably got it from the kids he teaches. The doctor said I should just go and get antibiotics immediately. Well, I have a problem with that. 1. I hadn't actually got a sore throat, and 2. That's the kind of stuff that breeds resistance. So, this week I decided that I was not going to get Strep throat if it killed me (so to speak). I did the garlic and honey diet to fend off nasty bacteria. Honey is not much of a problem; the fact it is metabolized directly to fat is not good, but it's not unsociable - garlic, however is. I am told I have been extremely unsociable the last two days. I cannot smell a thing, but I have slept incredibly well on my own the last two nights, even the cats stayed away from me. I think today I will try and find some of that garlic that is not supposed to smell, staying away from people is difficult.
