I swear, if I didn’t know better, I’d think you were one of them sissy-fellers… And even more disturbing than the mental image this comment gave me is that if you squint your eyes just right, the guy in the pink shirt in the video kinda sorta looks like you. I’m thinking I need some serious brain bleach, and perhaps beverages of the alcoholic kind.
(ya knows I lurves ya, right?? )
Continued healthy vibes coming your way, Dotty!
Congrats, Muppet!
Hugs to the {{Vorlons}}
Anyway, I’m home. This is not going to be a good week - looks like I’ll need to put in some extra hours, possibly to include the weekend. We’ve got a project due next Tuesday, and at today’s interim review, the senior type folks decided my portion needs to be way more detailed than originally scoped. And since I’m the only one of my specialty on this team, it’s all in my lap. And the classification level precludes involvement by our lesser-cleared trainees. rah.
Fortunately, there’s nothing in particular going on in my life right now, apart from our anniversary on Weds, but we’ll be celebrating on Friday night, I think. I’ll avoid working late on Friday.
I got sent home early today. It’s not that bad–it’s making up for the two and a half hours extra I worked last Wednesday so my paycheck won’t have a huge bite taken out of it. Oh how I love being an hourly wage slave.
After a cup of coffee at my Favorite Coffee Hangout, I have determined that Hilton coffee is swill and I shall not partake of it anymore without dire need. I shall instead drink tea at work.
That’s all I got today. {{{{{{{{{{{{Dotty & Vorlon & Lissars}}}}}}}}}}}
Nope. 'Cause technically it’s my fault for not updating my address in the accts payable system. Even though there’s nothing anywhere that gives instructions on what to do when you move, and most normal people would assume that updating HR was sufficient. :rolleyes:

Death chicken, Muppet! Or tarragon-polenta chiken pot pies. They’re goooooood. Or quasi-chicken Romesco. That stuff’s good too, even if KT complains that the chorizo from the grocery store tastes the same as their kielbasa. Or quasi-Thai chicken pizza. Good if you like sweet ingredients in your main course. KT doesn’t, but I do so I like that one. Or blackened chicken pizza, which works equally well as a topping for pasta. We both like that one. (We do both of the pizzas on wraps instead of pizza dough… they don’t need that much dough, and it works well if that’s what you have on hand. Or they do make good pasta toppings as well.)
Can you tell I like fast, easy after-work meals, which often involve chicken?
OOOH! I vote for death chicken too Muppet. Or parmesan chicken. That’s what I had for dindin ‘cept I didn’t make it, the good Eyetalian place did. They have their family platters half price on Monday, so we got that. It’s enough for three or four people accordin’ to them. It was definitely enough for four. We both have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. YUM!
I say do the chicken tonight and chunk up the roast beast for beef stew with some carrots and N.OT. for tomorrow. Good chilly weather food.
Speakin’ of weather, rain will be movin’ in overnight. Tomorrow shall be a horrid mess on into Wednesday as it appears now. ICK!
MOOOOOOM I caused you to need brain bleach? My work here is done. Heh, twenty years ago, I did kinda look like the one in the pink shirt.
Puggy I have hair on my haid. A full haid of hair, unlike my bald brothers.
I figured some Mumpers can appreciate the sentiment (at the very least, LiLi should, because I know she’s allergic to measuring stuff when she cooks). I never cease to be amazed at how profound, witty and eloquent some people can be with < 140 characters. Me… I usually squander them on nothing particularly interesting.
Thanks for the suggestions,** taxi**!.. I’m liking the sound of the tarragon-polenta pot pies. Off I go to see if I have all the necessary ingredients. Death Chicken has been ruled out as we don’t have any condensed cream of whatever kicking around the house, and I’m not inclined to go to the Mega Grocery Store to get some because I know they’ll try to sell me a ridiculous substitute like condensed milk or powdered soup mix or something.
I call dibs on next MMP!!! I had a great idea this morning, after Dotty (many more hugs to you, btw) had already started this one. And I should have written the idea down somewhere because all I can remember is that it seemed like a really great idea for an OP. But fear not - I’ll remember it by Sunday evening
Muppet had volunteered to share vacation pics and such with us next Monday, rosie, so you could have the 21st or you could work something out with her and she could take the 21st instead.
Hugs to the Alien family; hope Mrs. Vorlon is better very soon.
Congrats to Muppet on the promotion.
I know! No one ever tells me anything either.
FTR: That last (imaginary) outfit sounded particularly faaaaabulous. And I thought the guy in the pink shirt looked like you too.
Speaking of bears: has anyone heard anything from gotti? Hope he and DH are all moved in by now.
Am eating more chicken soup.
Gotta go read my book club book. We’re meeting later this week and I’m on page 44 of 400+.
Any time someone tells me not to worry, I get these flashbacks to the Nixon administration. Which reminds me -------- I really should check to see how new my last Canadian road atlas is.
Awwwwww… I was kind of hoping for some sort of epic cage match a-la-classic-Star-Trek, complete with quasi-gladiator weapons and blaring horn section in the background.
sniff
doggio, I am indeed an idiot… though that has to do with the fact that I’ve been working on stuff that should have been assigned to a senior analyst, and did it with a junior analyst’s title and salary for over a year.
Of course, that probably means I’ll get handed a manager’s workload now that I have the senior analyst title and salary. :smack:
(((((Dottie))))) - hope everything is well. Also (((((Vorlon and family)))))
Congrats, Muppet!
Need to see pix of swampbear’s cold-weather outfit.
Just got home from dealing with the first rain of December, or “Stormwatch '09” as it’s known around these parts.:mad: Had pasta with shrimp for din-din, and will study a bit for my notary public exam on Wednesday - need to renew my commission. Wish me luck.
Morning all. Hubby has gone to Kuwait for the day to visit cousins and look at cars (because there is too much money floating around that tiny country, second hand luxury cars are quite cheap). Fingers crossed he doesn’t come home with a Mercedes SL500 tucked under his arm!
They are SOOOO my kind of boy band, too… pity that instead of “the gay one,” this is “the gay four,” but hey, we live so far away our beautiful friendship was doomed to be platonic anyway.
Now, remember that even if you’ve been promoted, you’re still not supposed to use company time and resources to enjoy boy band videos. This is dedicated to your promotion and my only-spellcheck-and-printing-left paper, WOO and HOO!
With arms that long, does a hug count as tentacle porn?
Up and at work feeling slightly less jet lagged due to sleeping for 11 hours last night.
The potentail move/transfer that would get me with Hubby has fallen through so it looks like I will be leaving the company in February…makes our Vegas blow out look very silly when we will need the money come next year. Dammit!
What would make it worse Dotty is if hubby brings home one under each arm
