It was $3.14 to $3.17 here last night as I was driving around.
Blurf.
Dang, I meant to notice gas prices on my way to irk this mornin’ but instead chose to pay attention to the road and traffic. I am such a slacker! 
Then again I suppose I am slackin’ as I am sittin’ here postin’ in the MMP as opposed to doin’ actual irk. I should get busy. Maybe I need a lecture.
Bear, have you finished that pile of irk you have on your desk? No? I didn’t think so. March yourself in there and get busy this instant! The sooner you get started the sooner you get finished. Don’t give me that look! Do you want your face to freeze like that? Now march in there and get busy! Not a peep out of you until you’re done! Now march!
Hmmm… not sure if that’s workin’ or not.
I’d guess ‘no’. 
Up early, after crashing late. No more coffee in the evenings for me, lol! Also, crampy ouch crampy ouch yay for water cysts, wheee!
Um…coffee. Yeah…coffee! And naproxen, hehe.
Telephones are teh evil! Just thought I’d let y’all know that.
I’m crabby and I have a lovely headache. 
<shows Swampy the ‘off switch’ for the phone’> Or you could do like my co-workers used to, which was balance the headset on it’s cradle so it LOOKS like it’s set right, but really is off-hook. Why employees who KNEW that all that did was cause security to call ME and make me verify we weren’t having a riot…why they did this anyway, knowing it wouldn’t work longer than 2 minutes, I have no idea. Maybe they just liked having me come yell at them.
<passes Sticky the naproxen and a cup of coffee. And a brownie. > Gimme a couple hours and I’ll have posole for you; sure cure for everything 
Tao tellin’ the phone to shutup when it rings does not work either. Dang things are just so uncooperative! I will admitto one dirty little secret. Sometimes I will just let it go to voicemail and call back later. I am a bad bear.

Those new electronic phones are pure evil, but my old Western Electric phones and even my Merlin are nice. Perhaps not angelic, but nice.
Today’s odd bit of trivia - for anyone who watched Chicago Fire last night, I know the guy who was dangling upside-down in the van in the opening scene.
Up and at irk,
looks miserable outside, like it is going to pour down any minute.
hell pup is almost 2. She’s just a lot of pup, very stubborn and I can’t get her attention. Maybe if I walked her more than 1-2 days a week I could work with her. I’ve been pet sitting for 15 years and she is one of the more difficult dogs I’ve had to deal with. I think if she had a bigger yard to burn off some energy it would help. Walks help but there’s nothing like a good run in a big yard to make a dog happy. I feel sorry for dogs who never get to run off leash.
Dreary day here.
I’m crabby too but no headache.
Weird dreams last night that leave me feeling foggy.
Fight with SO/BF or whatever the hell he is yesterday, which was just a continuation of the one from the day before, which is really a continuation of the same one we’ve had for the last few years.
I hung up on him and we haven’t spoken since.
I thought he got it, obviously he doesn’t get it.
We’re supposed to go out tonight and I don’t know if I want to, well I want to I don’t know if I should.
Sunday is his birthday and I don’t know if I should send his gift back or not.
Blurf. Went to bed around 11 again, but I actually managed to get to work half an hour early. Admittedly I did that by not packing lunch, since work is feeding us today…
I’m apparently having a social life. Who knew?
Yesterday was choir practice, which I dragged myself to but really enjoyed. However, I was a little dehydrated, and I think I hurt my vocal chords. Mozart’s Requiem will do that to you.
Tonight, I’m going out with phoukabro and friends for dinner and live RiffTrax. Tomorrow night, I have another drawing session.
I will most likely need to spend all of Saturday picking up, cleaning, and organizing. I am just one person. How do I make such a mess?
phouka, clean in my house is when you can see most of the floor and nothing smells funny. LOL
Today I am sitting around waiting on a couple of my clients to turn in applications. It only requires them to fill out one page and sign another, so I never understand why it takes some of them a month or more to get it back to me.
Dreary here, too, and windy, to judge by the trees outside my window. By the way, sari, where are you? I have it in my mind that you’re a fellow Merrylander.
Coworker who’s on base for the next few month left things a mess here. He created templates that are unnecessarily complex for no reason except that he could do it that way. I spent way too much time this morning correcting one of his old drawings - had he not done some of the stoopit things that he did, it would have taken maybe 30 minutes. I’m going to find his templates and fix them, or die trying!!! idiot.
Back to lunch, then back to work - my cohort in PA sent me 3 more, so yay for keeping busy!!
Yep, fellow Merrylander. Although it’s not very Merry today.
I’m in AA county, I always got the feeling you were further south.
Yep, I’m almost as far south as you can get - St. Mary’s county. Altho I’m in the northwestern part of the county, a good ways from Pt. Lookout.
I’ll be in your county on Saturday - my sister and I are meeting in Annapolis for a concert. I’ll wave!
MOOOOOM a concert? I wouldn’t have thunk it of ya! You gonna be in the mosh pit?
**N.O.L.**time here. Pimento cheese and ham sammich. YUM! Plus I have chips and a big chawklit chip cookie. Life is good.
I’ll send all our sunshine and 80 degree weather if you trade me your rainy cold weather. I hate sunshine Ergh :mad:
I’ll wave back at ya!
I don’t do Annapolis if I can help it.
What concert?
