Talking about STUPID....
BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) -- A 21-year-old German tourist who wanted to visit his girlfriend in the Australian metropolis Sydney landed 13,000 kilometers (8,077 miles) away near Sidney, Montana, after mistyping his destination on a flight booking Web site.
Dressed for the Australian summer in T-shirt and shorts, Tobi Gutt left Germany on Saturday for a four-week holiday.
Instead of arriving "down under", Gutt found himself on a different continent and bound for the chilly state of Montana.
"I did wonder but I didn't want to say anything," Gutt told the Bild newspaper. "I thought to myself, you can fly to Australia via the United States."
Gutt's airline ticket routed him via the U.S. city of Portland, Oregon, to Billings, Montana. Only as he was about to board a commuter flight to Sidney -- an oil town of about 5,000 people -- did he realize his mistake.
The hapless tourist, who had only a thin jacket to keep out the winter cold, spent three days in Billings airport before he was able to buy a new ticket to Australia with 600 euros in cash that his parents and friends sent over from Germany.
"I didn't notice the mistake as my son is usually good with computers," his mother, Sabine, told Reuters.

Just did my timesheet for this week - I hate holidays. And next week will be even worse.
Oh well, as my mother always tells me, I have enough fat to survive two weeks without eating anyway. Wonder if I have enough for three?

Hey everybody!
Just wanted to stop in and wish you all a very happy, healthy New Year and all that stuff. 
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson

I went to write out checks for a couple things I can't pay via computer. I had one check left. Thought I had more checks in the box, but no, that was the last one. I have two more bills to write out, one being the rent. Called and ordered more, now I have to stop at the bank for some temporary checks. I hate going to the bank.
Happy Friday to the workerbees!
