It has been very cold and snowy here at Sundance. In addition to providing technical support for all of my complex systems, I’ve had to assign Raj to snow clearing duties. Unfortunately, he’s from southern India, where they never see snow so his technique leaves much to be desired. I keep telling him, pile it up on the side, but he just keeps shoveling it over his shoulder. He said this was how they taught him in Washington. Maybe so, but we don’t seem to be making much progress.
But I am pleased to report that Raj has established a nice little side business here at Sundance. There are so many southern Californians here whose iPhones aren’t used to the cold, that they keep freezing up. For a small fee (which I can’t disclose, as I don’t know what he’s going to claim on his taxes) Raj is restoring their magic. I’m led to believe that Big Guy might require the same service; of course for him there would be no charge since we all work for him.
As an added service, for each phone he restores to it’s prior glory, Raj is installing a special app that he developed himself. It involves a 30 minute tour of the Big White with MO, where you can actually rearrange the furniture and select your own art. PLUS, there’s an app that contains BO’s top 10 speeches. You can pull out all of the “let me be clears”, “extraordinaries”, “robusts” and “unprecedenteds” and replay them all in a loop set to old newsreels. Quite retro. I think it will be quite a hit with the Sundance crowd.
And yes, I did see that Lady M ventured out without me to tell the mayors of America that she’s fighting childhood obesity, one zucchini at a time. All things considered, I think it went pretty well. Although she still seems to be having problems with those buttons. She’s just used to everything buttoning on the left, so this sudden shift to the right is disorienting.
I’ve got to run now. It’s time for another “film screening,” aka going to a movie. This one is called “Please Give”. I think it’s either about Haiti or BO’s overhaul of the Internal Revenue Code. Will get back to you with more later – plus a fashion report on the latest black ensembles spotted at Sundance.
Oh, my chip upgrades, and electro-magnetic pulse (EMP) shielding? I’m having that done next week. I thought since I was here on the taxpayer’s dime, I might as well schedule a few extra days to catch up on popular culture. It’s all too easy to let yourself get out of touch when you’re in Washington.

MOTUS, Tell Raj there's a solution to his "side business" and The Dear Reader's IRS overhaul: It's called cash. With the Hollywood crowd, keep the "fee" in even $100 bills. God knows what that tax code will look like when the Dems redistrib...uh are finished helping those earning $0 to $10k.
ReplyDeleteAnd by all means take some extra time off. For heavens sake, you have the most difficult job in the US and get no rest at all during the many vacations the the Firsts take. As a matter of fact, I'm sure on those occassions you have to work even harder what with Big MO in swim attire. Careful on the slopes.
MOTUS,
ReplyDeleteDid MO decline to wear a bra that day? Also, I notice the First Nips or NOTUS, as they shall now be called, seem slightly askew.
Harley gals plainly call them, "Crooked Nipples". As in, "Girlfriend, your nips are crooked."
ReplyDeleteBut she's got a little more than crooked going on.
What's with the dead, mud color? She so often wears neon turquoise, or orange, red, etc. From one extreme to another. That's Big MO.
ReplyDeleteHey, MOTUS! What's the deal with Gibbsy on Fox this morning? And The Dear Reader is going to have a Fox interview next week? Puuulllllleeeeeesssseeeee. Did they decide they were missing a propaganda opportunity for 2/3 of the viewing public?
ReplyDeleteIt isn't so much the mud color. I'm no designer, but I would have realized that a criss-cross textured fabric should not be used in an original "designer" (read deplorably ugly plus expensive) dress when one intends to display a rakish waistline. The criss cross background detracts from the "rake", so that it looks like the designer was just using up whatever fabric she had leftover. And is it just me, or does each sleeve have it's own bias?
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm just a jerk. But, whoever dresses our first lady is a way bigger jerk.
Not to insult jerks, or anything.
ReplyDeleteMO's new tan dress with the buttons reminds me of pillow shams with the button closures on the back. Her dress color is really ugly and does nothing to compliment her. Of all the beautiful colors in the world she had to choose one that reminds me of what the prisoners wore in concentration camps (from pictures I have seen).
ReplyDeleteDoes MO choose her own outfits or does she have a stylist who tells her what to wear?
ReplyDeleteI can't decide whether she just has horrible fashion sense or whether she has horrible fashion sense and no common sense.
Honestly, someone who cares should tell her to refer to this site.
P.S. MOTUS, I'm so jealous that you're hanging out with the glitterati. I'm sure black photographs so much better against the white of the snow. Image is so important when they don't have anything else.

ReplyDeleteMust see and read:
WHO SAYS THIS GUY IS SMART?

Can this woman ever speak without notes and a lectern? I mean how hard is it to remember, 'happy birthday' and thanks for working hard ? Although what fed employees consider 'hard' the rest of us could probably phone in whilst running a marathon.
ReplyDeleteWhile you're out gasping in rarified air, the rest of us are all in a dither about Michelle's plastics/botoxes. Hurry home~
ReplyDeleteAn ugly dress for an ugly to the bone woman.
ReplyDeleteI think Michelle's arrogance, hypocrisy, bitterness, and phoniness are what make her truly ugly.
ReplyDeleteIf she were a good person with integrity yet physically homely (for example, Eleanor Roosevelt), I think people would support her.
But Big MO's got nothing going for her.
The Obamas are uncouth.
ReplyDeleteGo to FoxNation and view the pics of Barry putting his stinking shoes on the Resolute desk and other WH furniture.
No class whatsoever.
Anonymous ~ that's not true of every federal employee. My husband is one and is at work by 7 a.m. and often doesn't return until after 7 p.m. He's responsible for the training for a large number of military and civilian people as well as overseeing the colleges that have satellite campuses on the installation. He does work very hard.
ReplyDeleteI realize the federal employees as slackers is a widespread belief and there's probably reason for it, but some work very hard and do a lot of good.
Just my opinion. Sorry to disagree with someone here.
Motus you certainly are lucky getting to go to Sundance and not have to worry about trying to shape up MO's hips or tush or something! That alone is a vacation even if you were at home! You must be exhausted every day!
ReplyDeleteI did notice that you must have reflected & focused some sunlight in JUST the right place to cause a fire amongst the boob belts because we've not seen one for a while! What a great job you did on that one! I KNEW nothing but a fire of an act of God would get rid of those darn boob belts. Hooray for you!
Can we nominate you for a Sundance award for burning the boob belts? Or was that supposed to be a secret? I'm sure you came up with a great cover story for when MO got all wee-wee'd up over the boob belts having a bonfire! I hope I didn't just blow it for you.
Funky Town, Sorry, shouldn't have thrown all employees of the gov't in one pot. Worked for a county agency for a while, the lowest paid did all the work. The highest paid did diddlysquat, but were always available for photo ops, ribbon cuttings, and 'conferences' in really posh locales..You are right, not all were like that, but I became a bit biased..
ReplyDeleteI can see why you would have thought that. Thanks for the explanation. I am sorry I got my back up also.*hug* Friends?
ReplyDeleteP.S. you should get a name!
