A Monday without an MMP is like . . .

Oooh, so sorry you have to be in that area, rigs. And stop being difficult!!! ::stomps loudly:: :p:D The series was Mad About You, by the way.

I like your idea for an MMP, though. I’ll bet we’d get several possibilities per person…

Guess I’ll knit now.

Well, I maintain VBob looks like the actor Miguel Sandoval (and a little like Hector Elizando, too)

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>

:dubious:

It’s a compliment. Trust me. :wink:

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.

I still don’t see it. For one, I’m better looking. :stuck_out_tongue:

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!

Home again. Beer and Kroger deli chicken for dinner.

rigs, Simon looks like Lucretia’s non-psychotic brother. Good luck to TH.

taxi, I <3 geeky girls.

Rigs, you are aware that in addition to being invaded by the hoi paloi, we are getting a hurricane Saturday night?

The best guesses for right now is everything from a Southcoast landfall to a brush-by on the Cape.

Keep a eye to the sky!

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?

Happy Thursday!

I curse TSDanny - He’s going to rain out the whole weekend and ruin our picnic

I believe I am getting out of my post-vacation backt o wrok funk I have been in for a few days.

Normal routine and all that…still miss El Hubbo though :frowning:

I am hungry…should probably look for lunch

Yeah, TSDanny seems to have a bad sense of timing, doesn’t he?

I know it will shock everyone to know that I donwanna.

Almost Firday. 5 work days then vacation (yes, again). Woooooot!!!

Hugs.

GT

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.

Mornin’!

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! :wink: 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…

All you east coasters watch out for Danny…

{{{rigs}}} Simon looked like a lovely kitty.

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.

I used to live in Framingham. About 28 years ago, though. I hear it’s changed a lot.

rigs, I do not envy you. Driving, and parking, in Boston are right up there with root canal on the best of days.

bobbio, you stay safe, now.

I still have not heard from my ENT about the MRI so I called the office a bit ago. I guess that means it’s not an aneurysm. :stuck_out_tongue:

Big company meeting at 11:00. Hope it’s not one of those “we’re shutting down. We wish you all well” meetings.

More later.
