I actually said that to an HR director once. Good thing she had a sense of humor.
Everyone repeat after me:
It’s allllll over after tonight!!! It’s allllll over after tonight!!! It’s allllll over after tonight!!! It’s allllll over after tonight!!! It’s allllll over after tonight!!!
Today four of us spent all day dry running our LAST powerpoint for our LAST public meeting on these DAMN attendance boundaries. We’ve already given the big cheese the committee’s recommendation, so tonight is feedback on THAT, before he makes HIS recommendation to the board, which by the way, is already done, because after we fine tuned tonight’s thing, we sat down with his notes and wrote out what will be HIS final recommendation.
:: sound of hands being washed of this crap ::
So essentially tonight we listen to the same people bitch and moan about the same things they have for 3 weeks, take notes for the boss and go to a guy’s house to drink mass quantities.
First off, I’m embarrassed I forgot to post this in both of today’s posts, but: Happy Anniversary to my favorite Rebos!!!
Second, big news - kitteh is finally named. He’s Taz. I think it fits him nicely.
Third, soup is cooked and cooling. We went Bad Chinese after **FCD ** voted. I couldn’t vote, since I’m not party affiliated and Maryland is stricktly party-primary-ish.
It’s allllll over after tonight!!! It’s allllll over after tonight!!! It’s allllll over after tonight!!! It’s allllll over after tonight!!! It’s allllll over after tonight!!!
::shrugs:: I dunno. MBG said to repeat after him and I’m just complying.
Glad things are calming down, taxi.
Happy Anniversary, Rebos!!!
I vote for red shoes.
The snow from this morning turned into rain. I’m hoping it won’t be all ice tomorrow morning, because I have to go to work regardless. How fun. AND I have to go in extra-early. I’m hoping to survive this week and not have to go in to work over the weekend.
There’s more to say, but I need to eat dinner first. Yum. Turkey picadillo tacos and steamed plantains. Yum.
Ack! The weather here is turning really nasty – the temps are hovering just below freezing, and as a result the rain is turning into ice. It just took Papa Tigs a full three hours to get home. Poor baby, it nearly took him as long to get home as he worked today, it seems like – and I suspect it felt even longer to him!
Hey, don’t blame me – it wasn’t MY idea for her to leave! She left a couple of broken-hearted doggies behind her here, too, you know! Plus if she house-sat for you now, you might find Taz missing, since he’s virtually the identical twin for her beloved Cloud. :eek:
Not quite a ruana – I knit the Garter Stitch Wrap from the book Scarf Style. Knit on size 6 needles; I used a double strand of Misti Alpaca lace. It was my knee surgery project; it kept me occupied for WEEKS and WEEKS. Miles and miles and MILES of garter stitch. Granted, I wear it nearly daily, but nevertheless you have to be really stubborn to take on something that big!
Happy Reboversary!
Time to go eat a very belated pizza. And to pray our power doesn’t get knocked out by ice!
You people have no idea how much I’d love to housesit for that cat. If somebody else will pay the airfare, I will be happy to, but otherwise, no can do.
I have no idea what any of that means, other than “knee surgery” and “occupied for weeks.” I can’t recall what I did after my knee job.
I just kinda wish my neighbor had some artsy-crafty way to keep herself occupied. She recently had surgery to take out some of the lower girly bits and is out on disability for six weeks. She’s accustomed to working 10 and 12 hour shifts as an ICU nurse, so she’s going bonkers. Doesn’t help that her husband also works 10 and 12 hour shifts - they have the oddest work schedules of anyone I know. Sometimes days, sometimes nights. About the only consistency is a 4-day “weekend” every month, but depending on the drifting schedules as they fill in for people on vacation or that called in sick, it can be something like Monday - Thursday off. I’d go bats trying to keep track of that, but they seem to like it.
eta: Forgot to say…
It’s allllll over after tonight!!! It’s allllll over after tonight!!! It’s allllll over after tonight!!! It’s allllll over after tonight!!! It’s allllll over after tonight!!!
Been there, done that right after lunch (N.O.L.) :rolleyes: Feels like I could do it again.
The weather is extremely crappy here today. It took all of us at least double the amount of driving time to make our deliveries.
There’s something wrong with my laptop :dubious: I think it’s a loose connection or something because if I give it a good hard whap to the base, the internet connection works. Otherwise, it goes out and cuts off whatever I try to do. I loathe taking my computer in to Best Buy for repair. It is under warranty, but I’m left high and dry while they take 5 or so years to fix the damn thing. :rolleyes: Why, oh why don’t they offer a loaner service? Yes, I know it’s lame but I WOULD pay extra for it considering that my laptop is my only computer.
Yeah, you say that, but you still deserted us! <sob sob>
Well, when you come to visit your long-suffering mother and your broken-hearted doggies, you can pop in an meet Taz. By that time, Cleo will be living here, too. It’ll be a veritable house full of crazy!
Haze get the red shoes. I’ve always wanted a pair of red shoes.
FCM Taz sounds like a perfect name for the kitteh.
Mama Tigs I adore that wrap! I would love one, but I don’t think I could knit or crochet to save my life. My mom tried to teach me to crochet when I was younger and wanted to learn, and all I could do was the chain stitch.
Happy Anniversary Rebos!!
As **MBG ** requested…
It’s allllll over after tonight!!! It’s allllll over after tonight!!! It’s allllll over after tonight!!! It’s allllll over after tonight!!! It’s allllll over after tonight!!!
I’m debating whether or not I want to scrapbook. Sitting on the couch sounds pretty good, but on the other hand I want to get another page or two done. Plus I got some cute new paper (like I really truly need more paper…) that I kind of want to use…decisions, decisions.
What is up with me? I cannot get warm, not even after a bath that would boil lesser creatures. I am freezing. FREEZING, I tell you! The house is 69, which it always is in winter. I am wearing polar fleece jammies, and just took off my flannel robe and put on a polar fleece jacket–I don’t care what I look like, I’m COLD, dammit!
I am now reading Nora Roberts. She’s ok so far–I’m not thrilled, but I’m not ugh, either. The Susan Elizabeth Phillips one was ok, but a bit too schmaltzy for me (good plot twists, though).
I am waiting for House to come on. <crosses fingers> And I have homework to do. <sigh>
It’s allllll over after tonight!!! It’s allllll over after tonight!!! It’s allllll over after tonight!!! It’s allllll over after tonight!!! It’s allllll over after tonight!!!
**Swampy ** can I come live with you please? I’m sick and tired of snow and cold. It’s a whopping 7 degrees outside. I so want to move somewhere nice and warm.
