Hi, you’ve reached Puddintopia.com.  I’m sorry I have nothing interesting to offer you today, but I spent my day at a customer site for work contemplating their problems rather than titillating post topics to bring you a smidgen of insight and (potentially) a few idle chuckles.  We apologize for the lack of decent material today and hope you will return tomorrow for the resumption of your regular daily dose of puddiny nonsense.

In the meantime, we here at Puddintopia.com are happy to suggest several activities which we feel likely to compare favorably as a substitute for reading this blog.  Those include, but are not limited to: flossing your teeth, polishing your shoes, doing your federal income taxes, counting bathroom tiles, or watching paint dry skydiving, bungee jumping, receiving your income tax return deposit, or finding some liquor-soaked leprechaun’s pot of gold at the end of a double rainbow.

Also, while, yes, it was a perfectly lovely afternoon for a drive to a offsite location an hour and a half away, all that pleasant windows-down, wind-in-my-hair travel time doesn’t quite make up spending 6 hours in a windowless room with concrete floors watching a software installer’s progress bar inch forward. As an added bonus, while enjoying my complimentary expense-paid lunch of Chipotle soft tacos, several stripes of black bean, um, “juice” spontaneously assaulted my customer-friendly collared shirt, insuring that I’d spend all afternoon looking like Homer Simpson at the all-you-can-eat taco bar.

Chalk one up in the personal shame column.

Anyway, Puddin’s sorry he missed your visit.  Hopefully, the next time you stop by there might be something worthwhile to read.  Or at least as “worthwhile” as usual.

If you’d like to leave a message, wait for the beep and then add a comment below.  Puddin will get back to you at his earliest possible convenience, (i.e., once he’s changed his bean-covered shirt, put the kids to bed, and had a beer).  If you require urgent assistance, seriously, what are you reading this blog for?  Get help, doofus!

Thank you!

Pud’n
