This is God's idea of a birthday present.

Today, I was at work when one of the drivers mentioned he'd run into an IT tech on one of his deliveries who'd asked about me. So here I am thinking, "WTF?!" when the driver mentioned the IT guy had said he'd worked at DHL six months ago, had added that since many of the supervisors had left, he was thinking about reapplying for a job at DHL, and was, in the driver's words, "a short squirrelly guy."

Immediately, one name came to mind. Yes, that name.

Captain Asshat may return, though hopefully only for a brief cameo appearance. God help us all, as soon as he stops laughing hysterically at me.

Well, I'm sure it's his way to telling you to love your enemies.

Stick with Satan, he's SO much cooler, and smites people better.

completely off topic...

Is the past tense of smite, smitten? Smitten seems too cute of a word.

How strange it sounds "I was smitten with boils by God."

Maybe smote is correct "Alas God smote me with huge pimples."

Or smited. "God must hate me, he smited me with ingrown toenails."

This question came up while sitting at coffee with friends. Sadly nobody seemed to have a definite answer. Any thoughts?

Smoted? Smitation? SMITATED!

Buggered if I know.

I'm not sure, mind you, but 'smite', I think, is future tense.

"My God will smite you with lightning!"

So smote, logically, should be past tense.

"I was smote by God!"

Oh, by the way - That first quote? Actually said to me, by a Jehovah's Witness. Most annoying person ever.

Ahh...

Well... At least he didn't actually physically show up...

Happy Birthday.
