A different kind of little blue pill

Cheyenne Frontier Days, "The daddy of 'em all," begins in two days. Some people call it CFD. The Rodeo (always with a capital R). The un-official end to summer.
I call it the 10-day blow job.
To most of the regular Toms, Dicks & Harrys, the annual spectacle is a good excuse to leave town or head downtown to laugh at the drugstore cowboys and rhinestone hookers who invade our respectably-sized metropolis.
But to the a select few, who get to wear a plastic badge announcing them as a CFD volunteer or - God forbid - CFD DV - the chubby screaming to be serviced is already standing at attention ready for all to worship.
Those ID-sized badges are a little blue pill of joy marketed under the pretense of community outreach. Too bad the badges don't carry the same FDA-mandated warning advising users to seek help if things don't relax after four hours.
The CFD DV badge provides folks who carry some sort of important-sounding title with perks at the rodeo (like free shots of Pendleton Whiskey under a tent while watching an 8-second ride). And those perks are not to be discounted. Because those people can't mingle with the regular rodeo-goer, who can only buy beer from a college student and sits on aluminum bleachers baking in the sun while the smell of bull dung seasons their popcorn. The badge-wearers can't mingle with the community while outreaching.
I work with a few badge-wearers.  I'm a lucky gal.  Not only do I get to work for them (bringing the whiskey to them, because CFD DV), in some cases, I get to ensure people properly prostrate themselves multiple times in front of them.
In those cases, I'm a pimp. But instead of wearing the wicked cool '70s Huggy Bear polyester suit and feather boa, I'm in capris and flip flops.  Flip flops because I live here, dammit.
Unfortunately sometimes I'm even lucky enough to experience that unbridled joy myself and callous my knees once or twice, or even 10 times, to ensure each badge-wearer is properly stroked.
I should pull an Elsa, I know that.  This is an annual occurrence and everyone knows how much guys enjoy hummers. It's just that every year I provide road head for 10 days straight without additional compensation. Multiple BJs for multiple badge-wearers should include some sort of monetary incentive. Or a thank you.  I believe it is common courtesy to thank someone who provides a vanilla shake.
In those case, I'm more of a hooker versus a pimp, you say.  Technically you're correct, I am on the clock while pole smoking - so hooker works; even as poorly paid as I am.  But when I'm booking hoovering appointments with various other badge-wearers, I want a bonus - and I want to wear a damn boa.
Come on August.

Commando - not the cheesy movie

There's something about not wearing underwear that makes you appreciate kegel exercises. Today I went commando. No big deal. People do it all the time. I've dated two guys who thought underwear was a two-word question. But when you're not wearing panties - or gramma undies - or a thong - or boy shorts - or hipsters - or tap pants - and you're talking to the boss and there's that little voice in your head that goes "Naughty girl!" (my little voice sounds like Austin Powers), and then you sneeze, well... that's when you say a quick thank you to Dr. Kegel for figuring out that squeeze thing. See, I have to do laundry. I've had to do laundry for a couple days. I figured that out when yesterday I realized I would have to wear the most uncomfortable pair of hooker underwear I own. I figured it would be OK; I've worn them before, just not to work. And not all day. Uh, no. Trust me when I say that piece of lace isn't made to actually be on for mor...

I do have a blog

Wow. Look what happens when your friends guilt you (in a good way) to joining the 21st Century: You find out you joined almost two years ago and forgot about it. Either I'm a trend setter or am going insane. You pick. So...here I am. I'm avoiding homework, which is becoming my newest hobby - and I'm very good at it. My final is due Friday. I have plenty of time. Hours. And, thanks to the birthday party last week, a few bottles of wine. With wine and hours, if I can't pull out a comparison between tainted corned beef and New Orleans' levee breaks, no one can. Alright. Here I am. Again.

Sick day

I feel like a rebel. I'm home sick. I haven't taken a sick day in years. Not even a fake one. Hmmm... I'm not really prepared to be sick. There are only a few drugs in the house (case in point - I just took a Tylenol Sinus PM, I'm sure I'll be out like a light soon), I have no good "I'm home sick" food (frosted flakes, mac & cheese) and daytime TV is not exactly great company; had I planned this, I would have bought a book. A couple nights ago I woke with a piercing sinus headache on the left side of my head. It's been there in various stages of "Ow" since. Today I said screw it and let the sinus win. Of course I checked my calendar first to be sure being sick wouldn't interfere with anything at work. And can someone ever really be sick when the big blackberry server in the Canadian tundra is up and running? Email traffic is work, right? So really, I'm teleworking today. And making tacos. In my jammies.
