There's a certain finesse that must be utilized in choosing the correct euphemism for any given situation. Heck, as I write this, I'm not entirely sure euphemism is even the correct phraseology I'm looking for...
Anyways, for the past day or so, I've had the burning urge to inject the phrase "[that is] as useless as tits on a firehydrant" into casual conversation, yet have failed to find such an enlightening opportunity.
Currently: Thankful I was able to enjoy a day on the slopes, courtesy of Nicole's generosity.

I Sensed A Challenge...
Lo and behold, here is my "nerd score" revealed at last:
To be honest, it was quite a few percentage points higher than I anticipated, but that's not to say I'm disappointed with the results. My enviable physical exterior and frat-boy imbibed history have worked quite well at masking the inner-geek that dwells within.
Perhaps if you had the opportunity to marvel at my Star Trek: TNG collector card sets, hermetically sealed within my parents' basement, my results would come as no surprise at all.
Currently: Quite concerned that I've already been up an hour past my bedtime.

"Honey, I'm Ho-ooome!"
Rocky Mountain House, AB - The very city where my return to Tri-City Drilling began was also home to the end of that full-time relationship. It's Spring Break Up and I'm finally home from the "patch." Sure, I'll exploit that money pool throughout the next few years on a casual basis, but no more 14-days on/7-days off for me!
This doesn't mean I've got the rest of the summer to goof off, of course. I'll be working here in the city to ensure the mound of money I managed to save for the school year doesn't dwindle over the next 4 months - I'd be very upset indeed if the past 8 months of solitude were for naught.
As I haven't played a single game of ball hockey since last August I fully expect I'll be getting a few phone calls over the summer months to suit up...Lord knows we won't be cooped up indoors watching the Oilers tear through the playoffs.
