And weren’t we good? Sometimes we can be very VERY good. And other times, well. . . you can’t hit the bullseye every time. :shrug:
Vorlon, welcome!! Whoa, that was an abrupt entrance. Anything you want to tell us about yourself. Do you read the MMP often? At any rate, ~waving~
Yeah, did you pass, Pie? I assume all your worry was for naught. The folks at Papa Tigs’ place of employment are going so nuts about the upcoming Joint Commission visit that they were still emailing at 10:30 tonight. From their offices. He’s been getting his revenge by sowing hate and discontent by pointing out all the IT-related things people have been ignoring for many months that they need to start doing within the next 3 days or their ass is grass. 
Shame on you for getting dizzy again, canineservant! You need to cut that out!
I do indeed have Zone Alarm, Vorlon – and I hereby bestow upon you the MMP nickname of Kosh, for obvious reasons – but fortunately I have the paid-for version, their whole security suite, in fact, and it functioned fine through the whole M$ mess.
I have been mildly productive this evening. Or as productive as I could be with Rusty climbing the walls – and trying to climb ONTO my desk at one point – because of some storms going by near us. Fortunately, that’s the last even chance of storms for the next week, so here’s hoping we’re getting past thunderstorm season. I suspect I’m even more sick of it than the dog is!
Okay, back to try to get just a bit more done and then get some sleep. Right now I’d just like to sleep for about 24 hours; I have been just ridiculously tired today. Maybe I’m still not all better from whatever it was that was making me sick yesterday, you think?
ETA: Also, keep it down in Room 304 there! Some of us are trying to sleep around here!
Hoo-boy major excitement at the Y tonight. I was talking to one of the staffers there when a young gal came up to us and said, “Uh, excuse me, some guy out is out on the track collapsed; I think he’s having a seizure”.
As you can imagine, the staffer beat feet for the track and directed her downstairs to call 911. I followed, but the collapsed man was already surrounded by people. At first no one seemed to know what to do. They were patting his face and trying to get a response from him. He was non-responsive and turning blue. 
His heart had stopped, but thank goodness the Y had a defib set there, plus a military person was there doing CPR. They brought him back. I hope it all turns out alright for the poor guy.
I felt completely useless. It’s been years since I renewed my CPR skills. I had the opportunity just a few weeks ago. I plan on renewing those skills now. I so wanted to help when no one seemed to know what to do, but my skills are so rusty I figured I could possibly make things worse. It was a truly frustrating feeling.
The weather was beautiful here yet again.
Another fellow came and looked at our boat today. He WANTS it and wants it badly. He’s talking to his bank tomorrow. I hope he can get what we’re asking for it. I’m not coming down in price.
I need to hem my daughter’s new work slacks now. I know you just all envy me.
swampy, the shower was for me to have some private time to… think things over.
Anyway, TMI is sure to follow here, but here goes nothing. As my mom put it when I was trying to describe who I was going out with tonight, “How many boys do you have wrapped around your finger?” Well none! We’re all just friends.
Slightly Creepy Stalky Boy - Lives an hour away, he’s early 30’s, talked to him on the phone for 2 hours while I was drunk last Thursday, then he came and spent the night Friday, but he calls me “sweetie” and “honey” a lot and wants to hold hands and such which is weird because we JUST MET, and I get a text or two a day just to see how my day’s going.
Older technogeek daddybear - early 40’s (42?), lives about 30 minutes away, lives a life full of gadgets and I envy him, he cals just to chat sometimes, we’ve gone out together a couple of times, appreciated each other a few times. I picked him up at a bear party and then we stayed in contact. I’m going to Southern Decadence with him this year. He’s real sweet but kind of passive in bed.
Local daddybear - almost 40, kind of skinny and sinewy, kind of gruff, moved back in with parents due to illness. You may know him as That Guy or whatever I used to describe him - met on internet, hooked up a few times, met his parents, hang out sometimes at his house for dominoes and such.
Hot kinky daddybear - 50, lives in Little Rock, has a pool and a hot tub, hooked up with him a couple of times, we met in a bar when I went home with him and some other couple but then the other couple left. He’s tried to fist me a couple of times, but a real nice guy, and he’s real hot.
So there you are, swampy, the full story you requested. 
Update on Cory since we’re baring our personal lives.
Basically, he’s being a real dick to my friends (used them for a ride, then blew a bitch fit because they wanted to bring someone else along and cruise and he didn’t want the other person there). Saw him for two seconds yesterday, over the fence, he waved hi and disappeared, no response when I called to ask if he wanted to hang out for a bit.
So I’m going out with said friends on Friday instead and Boytoy who has a huge crush on me but is too young except to hang out as friends. If he were a couple years older, or me more than a couple years younger I’d totally go for it but 16 is toooooooo young.
Good morning everybody! (apologies to anybody who thinks it’s still nighttime. Or still Wednesday, for that matter…)
Nothing to report here, but I did decide I’d try and chime in every day, so here I am…
Roo, Ivory, I see you’re having plenty of fun in 304 without me…?
:dubious:
I’m pretty sure Pie’s inspection is today (Thursday)? Good luck – fingers crossed; although I’m sure you don’t really need “luck” to pass! 
:: walks quickly past Room 304 ::
Good luck, Pie! And general hugs for all of y’all, of course. Off to teach.
Urk. Too early. Too exciting a night.
Morning.
Awww… Noonie still loves me, he remembered. Yes, my inspection is today at 9:30. Nervous is an understatement.
Does a Pie inspection involve nibbling on each pie? Would that be unsanitary? What about if the Pie being nibbled has recently had a shower? Would it be better to sample batches of pies by taking one of each batch at random and eating it whole? Does nibbling or extracting a sample from a pie mean it’s not a virginal pie any more? Do pies need to be virgins before they’re brought to the table? Do virgins taste better than those who are not? Are they salty or sweeter, more juicy or what? Do you savor them slowly, gulp them on the spot? Do virgins taste better than those who are not?
Are you channeling me? :eek:
::Waves to Nava. And to Pie, just for good measure::
Nah, just the Dragon song the Ladies of the Dagger and the Rose used to sing, back when I was in the South Florida Renaissance Society. I never could remember all of the lyrics, more the pity.
Humming that in the middle of a meeting would be unprofessional, wouldn’t it?
Do virgins taste better…
You, I like!
I’m up… should be making N.O.Les for the kids camp… will get to it momentarily.
Another day in the office- early meeting to checkout the new renovation plans- I hear they are terrible so I need to go put my opinion in… yuck.
Then morrrrre cleaning. I still need boxes- anyone got boxes???
MMmmphhh.
I’ve been at work for nearly an hour. Why? Because I was supposed to get a jump on a report that needs to be out to the troops at 8:30am when they come in. The only problem is… no one has given me the extract I need to do the report yet. :smack:
Thank Og for Tim Horton’s XL double-doubles. I’ll be chugging them all day, methinks.
Flutter, sounds to me like you’re better off. And hey, assuming Excessively Young Boytoy is easy on the eyes, you can at least admire the scenery until he’s legal… no? Ain’t no such thing as statutory flirting.
Taters, that sounds like a scary evening… glad there was a happy ending, though, and that the guy will be okay. You’ve just reminded me that my CPR skills need to be renewed as well. I should check when the next first aid session will be held at the office - I’d rather know what to do than get stuck playing helpless spectator.
donkeybear I take it you have a thing for ummmmmm… more mature gentlemen. Also, there’s TMI then there’s what you shared in your last post…
T M FREAKIN’ I!!!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! I’m up and caffienatin’. Soon I shall eat brekkies cause I’m hongry then do my mornin’ commute from the kitchen back to the study for work. I did do some more work last night bein’ as I was by myself and all. I started around eight and worked til ten, so I’m ahead of the game. YAY! I’m lookin’ at wrappin’ things up by around oneish this afternoon, takin’ stuff to the office, goin’ grocery shoppin’ and then bein’ a free bear 'til Monday. I could get use to three day work weeks.
CutiePie good luck today! I’m sure you’ll do great.
Later Y’all!
Good Luck Pie!!!
Everything will be just fine!
And good morning to everyone else too!
Lunches made, kids are brekking- I need to shower!
Blurf. Blather later when I wake up.
Must forage.
Why, yes, I have boxes, Soapy, but I need them. I received some stuff at work in nice UPS boxes. Decided they were perfect for the basement, so they’ll be housing miscellaneous tools and painting supplies. I have one more to bring home yet.
::Waves at Nava:: And yes, you’re sounding a lot like SO.
Fell asleep right after my last post. Woke up just before 4:00 and wasn’t able to fall back asleep. I seem to be fairly awake despite that.
Glad they were able to revive the guy at the Y, Taters. That sounds awful.
You’ll do fine, Pie! It’s good to be a bit nervous because it means you’re not so overconfident that you’ve gotten sloppy, but…you know you’re good. Right? Hugs.
bonkeydear…thanks for sharing…? You’re definitely winning the TM Freaking I award this week.
Too bad about Cory, Flutters. But at least you didn’t invest lots of time in the relationship. Also, what Mahna said.
Gotta go out to water a few things. Sounds like it isn’t planning to rain anytime soon and there are a few things out there that are looking ready for water.
Happy Thursday everyone!

Glasgow City council is happy with my Spanish visa electron. Tesco is happy with my Spanish visa electron. IKEA UK is happy with my Spanish visa electron.
Can anybody explain to Scottish phone companies that my visa electron works, please? Paying these people is a PITA.
My coworker is happy because Glasgow City council is happy with his Spanish maestro. He just shared his happiness with the whole group. Reckoned I’d share it with you guys.
Oh, and the bank has requested more documents. For the second time. This time, because the address in my Spanish ID (which they already had the first time) doesn’t match my Glasgow ID. First, no shit. Second, why didn’t you mention it the first by-loadie time!
I need some glass to put in the recicling bin and one of those big recicling bins you can throw your glass into…
Don’t wanna go to work.
