Worked, came home, drinking a People’s Porter. > [@anyrose](#): > > I didn’t know there was such a rule :eek: There is. Uness you are mocking **Flytrap** , then it’s OK. YMMV > [@ekedolphin](#): > > Yesterday, as part of my annual Christmas tradition, I performed a solo in church. I’m part of the Chancel Choir, and I’ve been doing solos almost since I was old enough to sing. This year, I sang “The Angel Gabriel” at both the early and main services. I sang it in the special music slot at the 8:45, right after the pastor did the Scripture reading. As it turns out, the reading was _about_ the angel Gabriel’s appearance to Mary. We didn’t plan it that way. > > At the 11:00 service, I sang it as they were passing out the communion elements. Both performances were done _a capella,_ and you can hear the 11:00 one at the 51:05 mark [of the accompanying audio file](http://suffolkchristian.org/mary-did-you-know). Cool! Happy Birthday, **Grumpy Bunny**!!! Rockin’, that sucks. Welcome back, **Soapy**! And thanks for fixing up the MMP this week. ---

**Happy Bunny Day!** You share a birthday with my daughter. 😃 **Rockin’** that does suck. ☹ My leave is over and I’m back to work tomorrow. They’ve re-organized and moved while I was gone, so this should be interesting. Can’t say I’m excited exactly, but I do like to get paid (correlated to my fondness for housing and feeding the kids). Nite-nite all. ---

I was tahred last night - I even forgot to take my meds before sleepy-bye! So I popped my pills first thing this morning. I’ve got work to start my day - yay! beyond that, who knows. Who cares?? The power supply for my PC has shipped and the desk I ordered for \*\*FCD \*\*has shipped. So, new stuff to arrive at FairyChatEstates. Not as exciting as a new car or new furnishings or a new yard man to do all the icky chores, but still… Happy Tuesday!! 😃 ---

I’ve heard that sleep is a really nice thing. Maybe I should try it sometime. Combo of energy drink carryover, pesky cat, and full bladder dragged me out fifteen minutes before the already disgusting time the alarm was due to go off. Last “normal” class session of the semester tonight, day off from irk tomorrow. Tomorrow evening begins a string of three exams in four days (all will allow at least some notes). Two of these exams are finals, with one of them being 45% of my grade for that class for the semester (that’s Saturday’s). No pressure there, right? Last final for the semester on Tuesday. Must register for next semester today. Also gotta decide in roughly the next 3 weeks whether the Phi Theta Kappa (honor society for community college students) thing would be enough of a resume boost to be worth the fee. ---

There’s something The Proud Daddy has told me every time I’ve talked to him for the last month. Figured I’d share the brag. The Nephew is in 4th grade. They had to prepare some sort of presentation and a classmate asked, “can we use PowerPoint?” The 3rd grade teacher had taught them some PP already, the current one agreed that yes indeed, they may use PP. Bro figured, since they didn’t have PP and there is this thing called Google Docs which is actually free and legal and all that jazz, The Nephew’s team could use Google Docs. The Nephew et al agreed. They did the work in Google Docs and then one of them downloaded the result so they’d be able to present it. And then tragedy struck! That teammate had left her tablet at home, oh no! The Nephew said “wait, Papa said it’s online. We should be able to get to Google Docs from any of our tablets and download it again.” And thus was the problem solved, the presentation presented and the high grade due obtained. And The Proud Daddy is still stunned by his son’s mad internet skillz 🙂 ---

**Nava,** this whole generation (say from 20-something now on down) is going to be unlike any other in history (I know, that’s been said before) due to their being completely wired into the internet/cloud/Iphone/etc. from the first day of their lives, instead of having it grafted onto their experiences as with old geezers (like me). It may make for some interesting times… Slept well for a change, made it to within 5 minutes of the alarm and with the Mountain Dew consumed I have enough caffine in my system to have a (moderately) productive morning. 99 works days to retirement and counting… ---

blurf awake since 5:30. I thought I’d convinced the cat to leave me be for awhile. I was just about to drift off to sleep again when she started pawing my nose and licking my ear. When I moved my head away, the meowing started and didn’t stop until I got out of bed. ---

By 9:30, I had completed 2 more drawings and technically I’m out of work again. I’m going to go thru the 4 I’ve done and mark areas of concern for the engineer to address - that should kill a few minutes. Then back to the boss for more to do. I don’t think I’m any kind of super-drafter - I just think too many people around here fart around too much instead of working. Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think so… ---

Happy Toosday! Bright and sunny 47 degrees. Not too bad. I woke up early, then fell back asleep. I have lots to do around here today. Mostly of the cleaning type stuff. First I need some lunch.
