Can you take another seat Nut? Home. Was front of house clerk today so I had to be nice.
On Firday I made a total and complete ass of myself to an evil bitch who shares my building and it is my building. She sent me a nastygram accusing me of using up all their ink in their printer. I don’t use their printer at all. I marched into her shared office and ripped her a new one. Had her in tears. Customers were present. She followed me back to my office and explained that she was trying to prove a point that the RV Ops manager is a liar. I listened and said little. She had blind copied their boss. I sent a reply to her, the Ops manager and their boss saying I DO NOT USE THAT PRINTER. When the ops manager read it she came to my office red in the face with anger. Turns out the bitch that sent the email had left because I had upset her so much her “blood pressure was through the roof”.
On Monday first thing I had a message to call her boss which I did. I was wrong and said I would apologize. I sent bitch a text to please come to my office as I needed to speak to her. She responded “I am unavailable, sorry”. I sent a screenshot to her boss and said she will not meet with me. He came over an hour later and coaxed her into my office where I had to apologize. Nearly choked on my words. Embellished Yada Yada. But I was wrong cause she baited me and I fell for it. Long story short her boss is going to find her a new office out of my building. This is not me. I am nice like Mmmoommm dammit.
The actual seats (and tables) move around, it’s that the same people sit together- there’s only 4 of us who are over 30, which apparently means we have to sit together (I’d rather mix it up and sit with some of the younger lot sometimes, but there we go).
I mean, I could try wearing a false moustache and sitting at the back, but in a class of 20ish, I reckon she’d find me.
I’ll be taking the Ghost in for its first oil change either Saturday or next week. When it gets within 200 miles, it gives you the miles to the next oil change along with your trip and mileage info when you shut it off.
When I got home from irk this afternoon and got out of the car to get the mail, I heard the unmistakeable riiiiiip of blue jeans. :o Fortunately, my drawers were color coordinated with my pants. Now, I must go online to replace them.
Butters, remind me not to piss you off (even though you are nice). Just keep your cool, one blowup every few years is allowable. (that said, it sounded like she deserved it).
Nut, such is the life of the competent person (that’s you). Sounds like she’s not long for the school anyways.
Where did swampy and FCM go? Did her frittata explode? did swampy get eaten by his laundry?
Got the old diskettes off to recycling and moved the old chair out to the curb (it has been shedding leather bits for some time) and put the new chair in it’s place. Which I now have to get used to, which is why I was lax in moving the old one out. Internettin’ will take some of the evening along with reading.
Howdy Y’all! Nice to know I am missed. MetalMouse the laundry did not eat me but the dryer did try to bite me as I was closin’ the door. Grabbed my pajama bottoms! Anywho laundry got done, errands completed, and sup got cooked and et. I am postin’ on OYKW’s puter as he reminded me he rarely uses it so I might as well, so I am. Still ponderin’ over what to do about mine.
Butters FWIW I say she deserved copious wrath.
MOOOOOOM I make frittatas on occasion. Not a thing I want a lot, but always good.
Nut it wouldn’t be skool without annoyance. So, she’s there to provide that for you.
We’re being threatened with snow this weekend. rah. I think the shovels are in the garage, but if they’re not, they will be. Stoopit snow.
**FCD **was running around yesterday getting quotes for the workshop he wants to put in the back yard. He heeded my suggestion to downsize it a bit, and it’s now a reasonable size and a doable price. He’d been looking at renting a place, but we can build for less than the cost of 2 years of renting, and we’ll have the equity. Plus his commute will be walking across the yard… With luck, we’ll be starting in a couple of months.
Meanwhile, there’s stuff on my desk demanding attention. Happy Wednesday!!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 51 Amurrkin out and clear (well, dark) with a predicted high of 59 and mostly N.O.S. for the day. Today I shall go to the Pubic Sto’ and lay in provisions. Always a fun time. Sup will be salmon patties, smashed N.O.T., peas, and bizkits as requested. I may also bake chawklit chip cookies as I have an urge and because a bag of chawklit chips fell out of the kitchen cabinet where they live until use. Maybe that’s an omen.
Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy demands sustenance. Then, alas and alack, purtification and the donnin’ of appropriate goin’ about the public to the Pubic Sto’ must be accomplished. Such bother!
A not so cold 43 degrees outside.
I took Ripple to daycare, he hasn’t been for three weeks and he was acting all shy again.
I can get some stuff done that I can’t do when he is here. I also have to call the vet to make an appointment for Adam’s echocardiogram. I’d like to do that on a daycare day, less stressful all the way around.
Adam is being a pest to my son this morning, he keeps headbutting his door for him to come out and watch him scratch on his scratching post. Very important my son should see that.
I am supposed to go to the armpit on Saturday, but that’s not likely if it is snowing.
Thank you Ruble, we don’t have anything coming, but I appreciate your work.
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Closing shift tonight
It better not. I don’t wanna miss the afternoon hockey game Sunday(and the brunch tailgate).
[color=red]red**, I managed to rip the side seam of my pants once. Had to staple it together till quitting time.
Ruble, thanks to you and whoever services the Raleigh area, I got my new phone case. Now if Sprint could only tell me how to actually take advantage of a work related offer, so I can cut my bill 70%(2 hours of phone and chat, and all I was told is “Oops, you need to do anther step before you do the step the last person told you. And bring us a shrubbery!”:rolleyes::dubious::mad:)
I’ll take your snow. We have like 1 inch of snow on the ground… and we’re going to have temps above freezing later this week, which will melt what little we have. It’s freaking January in Wisconsin. It’s supposed to be cold and snowy. But everyone else seems to be getting it… sorry.
Juliet, lemme get this straight; you want freezing temps and snow? Ma’am, you’ve been in the Frozen North way too long…
doggio, good luck on the phone deal (but the over/under is another 2 hours on the phone).
ruble, you are a true professional; which means your bosses, as you describe them, will probably write you up for something…
No snow here but rain is forecast for the weekend. Been in the 60’s the past two days, but only 42F today. Need to do some soccer stuff and get the trash bin outside this evening for pickup, but nothing else is planned. Starting to draw up a vacation plan (Combined New England/Colorado-S. Dakota trip) but planning is still preliminary.
Raisin toast has been consumed, so all is right with the world.
Upsize, then it’ll cost [del]ten[/del] three years of renting & you’ll have more space. Doggio, might take in Stars vs. Blues on Sat eve; should I wear a '91 M Modano from when they were in Minnie-soda or represent the home team & go with an E - A - G - L - E -S one? (There’s no hockey rivalry, but there is with those star-helmeted jerks.)
I could use the snow, next week, please. Need to practice for the last two weekends of the month. (Ruble, I got a pair of Iverson’s for Pri-Bi’ing.) That was this year’s investment into the sport. Next year, you’ll need to help me out with period-appropriate attire. You’re costing me moolah! :mad:
Howdy all from irk, of course. Made it to hump day. Hubs is on the road on the way to **Doooggiioooos ** neck of the woods. I hope it does not snow as he is not used to it or the cold.
Doggiooo I got a huge laugh about the shrubbery!
The ladies that run the Child Development Center just came over here with a Chihuahua puppy 9 weeks old and probably less that a pound. I want. Louie would not be happy.
I have some A/P to do today and I need to run to the Pubic store as the cupboard is bare here at irk and I need more cat food. This cat eats a lot. Ok all have a great rest of the day.
I don’t know what to do.
The bed is calling that it is nap time, I didn’t get much sleep last night, my eyes are burning.
On the other hand, the washer is calling to finish the load I left to soak overnight, and the dryer wants to be emptied. Another load is waiting to go in.
I should start working on the vanity and stool.
I’m also thinking about painting the bead board in the kitchen. It’s white, isn’t it always?, but what do y’all think about yellow? I’ve been thinking about painting the back door yellow as well, with maybe some bohemian style of design. Bohemian is my natural style, however, I also really like a super clean, uncluttered look. I don’t know why I am driving myself crazy over it, it’s only paint and if I don’t like it, I can paint everything white again. It’s not like painting a whole room, I wouldn’t even need to pull out the step ladder. And it’s not like a gallon of paint cost hundreds of dollars.
Yep… and perhaps I have. I look at it this way. When faced with the options of freezing rain/melting snow that re-freezes at night and it’s in the upper 30s OR solid snow comes down and stays snow (not icy slush), but it’s in the 20s, I’d rather have it be a dozen degrees colder and have solid snow than have it be a little warmer and have icy nastiness. Solid snow can be moved and driven through much more easily than ice. Solid snow can be brushed off my coat; icy rain soaks into it.
And our local economies depend on winter sports this time of year. A lack of snow = a lack of snowmobilers = a lack of business at restaurants/pubs/convenience stores that are frequented by snowmobilers. Same with needing solid ice for ice fishing and other outdoor winter activities. Furthermore, a lot of summertime contractors (roofers, landscapers) make their livings in the winter plowing. No snow = no plowing = no income.
Plus, it’s, like, stupid beautiful to wake up to a fresh white world after a snowfall.
Now, I must go online to replace them.
