How odd, I’d alway “heard” **taxi **as sounding like Helen Hunt as well.
I’m so sorry about Simon,** rigs**. I hope TH has good news.
rebo, I hate on-line training. I’d say about 98% of our training is on-line. Mostly it’s for annual requirements such as HIPAA, suicide awareness, various systems tests, information awareness, and the list goes on and on and on and on.
Work was work. I’m glad to be home. Next week will be horrendous because I’ll be by myself. I don’t think anyone from my office will even see me on Monday and Tuesday because I’ll be so busy putting out dashboards and reports.
Other than that, I’ve got nothing but hugs and smooches to all.
Unfortunately, I won’t be. We are flying into Boston on Friday and driving down to the Cape that day. And the next day, we are moving Daughter into her housing… in Boston. :smack:
It will be a loooonnnngggg day. I do hope I have a place to park my rental car. Oy.
TH said the interview went well. <crosses all finger and toes>
I have a late day blurf. It is a long, tiring trip from Maryland to Idaho. It’s as long and tiring going the other way as well.
But I’m home and all is well. And I haven’t been keeping up here, so appropriate reactions to all. It is so nice and not humid here. Ahhhhhhh. My bug bites have already stopped itching. Seriously, if I have bug bites humidity makes them itch.
Yeah, I can see it. Miguel Sandoval, that is. Not so much Hector Elizando. It’s definitely a compliment.
Of course, the only picture I’ve seen of him is in his turnout gear, and as someone else once said, it smells like danger!
Morning, mumpers! There are two good things about today - one is that it’s nearly Firday, and the other that it’s payday! Good reasons to be sitting here smiling. Another good reason is that today I decided to wear a skirt to work. Nothing unusual in that, I’ve done it before, but this is a size 12 skirt (I think that’s size 10 on your side of the pond), a size I haven’t been for a very, very long time.
That in itself makes me very happy although it does mean if I carry on like this, it’ll be time for another wardrobe makeover and a bag of goodies for whichever of my dieting friends makes it to a UK size 14 first! I only have 3.5lbs to go until I reach what I have decided is going to be my target at Fat Club, I can’t afford to lose much more than that because I am tall-ish and to lose more would make me look ill.
After the target has been reached, I will be joining the local gym and working on toning up what’s left. It’s been a long road but the end result will have been worth it. I might even celebrate with a piece of cake later as it’s a colleague’s leaving party this morning.
So good luck to the losers and those who want to lose, and of course congrats to everyone who’s lost! There’s hope for all of us!
Oh, and I even had enough naughty points last night for some beerverages so that can’t be a bad thing, can it?
what else is planned? Frogs falling from the sky? A plague of itch mites descending on New England while I’m there? Zombies at Logan? Just let me know now–I was a girl scout and I will be prepared…
Off to work. Why is it so hard to get up and going on rainy mornings?
Latest projections have Danny doing a drive-by on North Carolina. While I’m always up for a good minor disaster, I have plans to knock out a large chunk of my missing firefighter training Saturday. which preps me for other minor disaster responses.
Og only knows when the weather will let up enough for me to mow the yard. Significant rain is projected from this afternoon through next Tuesday. I’ll probably have to bale the clippings when I’m done.
My apples are ripening, and the peecans are coming along nicely, BTW.
Tomorrow is my Firday off, so yay for that! I have an appointment with a dermatologist to get 3 million skin tags removed. Do you ladies get these annoying things? They bug me to no end! Especially around my bra area. Sorry if that’s too TMI! I have one near my eye that’s gonna sting a lot. :eek:
Then after that torture, I’m gonna have lunch with my friend. She’s been on maternity leave, and I’ve only seen pictures of the baby. I’m gonna meet him in person!
More on-line training today. The subject is Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing. Three cheers for GD&T!!! Not. Then this afternoon in my bimonthly meeting, I’m showing a DVD of a History Channel program about the history of Oil Well Drilling. I think it will be very good!
BooFae, you are an inspiration! Someday I’ll get off my arse…
This morning I am all out of sorts. I am so tired and I feel absolutely awful. I’ve been contemplating going back to bed for an hour, but I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to get everything done. Of course, today I am working alone. I could call GilaMonster to see if she would come in, but I seem to do that to her quite often and I don’t want to do it yet again. I’m going to try to eat something for breakfast and see if that helps any.
