Hmmm, someone else mentioned a squid earlier, and now we have a squidgoat popping up… I think we need to pick an official MMMascot for the MMP.
But not a squid. Cuz they’re icky.
Why moontune, I suppose we do need a mascot! 
pssssst, everyone, look at the post above me! we have a newbie thinking the goat and squid are mascots, hehehe. Quick now, before he escapes!
frantically scampers away, tail streaming behind him, and disappears into the bushes Haha! You’ll never catch meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I never said the squid and goat were mascots. I said we NEED a mascot, a thought prompted by the mention of squid or squid-goat hybrids in not one but TWO posts.
Lissen, young’un, ya’ll gotta come on outta them thar sticker vines sometime…
and we will be waiting. We will ALL be waiting…
Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’ here. It’s my Thursday!
I forgot to say yesterday, MOOOOOOM appropriate/inappropriate appendages crossed for FairyChatDaughter and a teaching position for next year. Here’s hopin’ she can get a gig closer to home.
It’s rainin’. All night last night and looks like all day today, tonight, and possibly tomorrow. I let water outta the pool just before dark yesterday. Here’s hopin’ it was enough in case of a deluge to day.
That’s the excitement from swampland.
Off in search of more caffiene and brekkies then purtification for work.
Later Y’all!
Morning all - up and caffeinating here as well.
Fingers & other appropriate appendages crossed for FCDaughter.
I have not had enough coffee yet this morning. LOL It’s not my Thursday though … only Wednesday, but Firday is now two days away.
Happy Hump Day y’all. 
Well, there was another cardiac arrest in Cottonfield County in the middle of the night. I didn’t go, 'cuz it was too far away. 
for the patient, but at least I ain’t pooped and grumpy today.
Keeping with the turtle theme…
I think I might pull a little April Fool’s prank of my own this afternoon. It would have to be on Facebook. I hope it works. I never pull pranks, so it’d be completely unexpected.
Good morning!
Happy April Fool’s Day! It’s also my anniversary at my company. 13 years ago today, I started work here. Heh, the joke’s on me! Nah, I like it here.
Cool story, Spaz. I’ll notify a mod to fix your link.
::crosses fingers for FCDaughter::
Yay for Hump Day!
Yesterday I got my time off request signed - I’m off all next week, and only have to use up three days of vacation! Damn, I need some time off, that’s for sure.
Laterz…
Am I the only one that wants to see a picture of the baby riding the turtle?
Because we’d been talking about this online yesterday, my husband and I had a long talk about it over dinner last night. He thinks it’s ok for the exams to be nearly-impossibly difficult and that it’d be wrong for the professor to “dumb down” the exam just so students can do ok on them. I, obviously, am on the other side. But to try to explain his position a bit - and maybe what you’re professor is thinking - if there’s a range of questions, and some people know some of the material and can get, say, questions 1 and 2 and other people know other material and get questions 3 and 4, then it’s ok because at least some of the students got everything. And the students can see what they need to study more. If everyone missed question 4, OTOH, it shows the prof that he needs to cover that material better. So… there’s the other side of the coin. But I’m with you in finding that method extraordinarily frustrating. I also felt that my intelligence was all I had and to be reminded regularly that I’m not that smart was a kick in the pants. So major empathy here. BTDT. No real words of wisdom to offer but lots of understanding and hugs. You’ll get through, just don’t give up.
Today’s my Firday 'cause I’m taking a long weekend to go home and visit everybody. Yes, I’m fitting in 3 zillion people in 4 days. Should be interesting. I’m excited. And glad that my flight’s in the late afternoon tomorrow so I can sleep in and then get packed and just relax a bit!
Morning. I vacuumed up the pet hair and toy debris, and am doing laundry.
Awesome! ThingGeek.com has squeeze bacon today. 
That is all.
(Actually, I’m somewhat disappointed it’s not a real product… their April Fool’s stuff is always 10x more awesome than the non-April Fool’s)
Afternoon! I is tired today, 'im indoors has manflu and I ended up sleeping on the spare room floor as his snoring was getting the better of me. Unfortunately it really was on the floor because the airbed’s suffered from a bad case of cat claws. All that, and a busy day at work looking busy…
Thanks. By the time I noticed it the edit window expired so I cussed a swear and left it at that.
Let it be known that I am an idiot. I decided today that someone needed to shelf-read the reference section. Since I decided it I nominated me to do it since I don’t have anything else going on at Reference work. I’m going to hate myself in a few weeks.
BLURF! I haz it. 
Et something that did not agree with me yestidy and it kept me up last night. Then work has been one fahr after another. And it’s only hump day.
Farewell, rusty. You were a good dog. Count me as one of the people who was shocked at how fast they go. It certainly points out how fragile life really is.
moonie, I think [del]stalking[/del] harassing said Dynamics teacher is called for. Remember, you are paying for a service and he’s not delivering it.
Our CFO sent out an April Fools e-mail. I was all :eek:
Vibes going out for The Perfect Child[sup]TM[/sup].
Tupug
Fingers & toes crossed for FCDaughter!
Blurf indeed. I slept well and long last night – without Rusty to rouse us all bright and early, Isaac is, most blessedly, content to sleep in. He let me sleep till 10:00 this morning, and then I had to go wake him up to go out! I think we’re both escaping into sleep as a means of avoiding hurting. Apparently it’s successful for both of us. I hope he perks up when Dean gets home Friday; at least there is nothing in the universe that will put a lab off his food, so he’s eating fine. The weather is kinda yucky today for going out to play, so I think we will take a trip to the grocery store later. Oh boy, a ride in the CAR! Dogs are easily pleased, thank heaven.
Other than that, a client wants his job, which I have barely started, and am having real trouble forcing myself to work. I just want to escape into mindless entertainment. The internet is amazing in that regard. But I guess I’d better get my behind in gear. Because when I’ve finished this transcript, I have a mountain of laundry to do. (Yes, yes, snowbunny, I know I’ve got the nice washer & dryer right there – but when you don’t feel like doing anything constructive whatsoever, unfortunately laundry is included on that list!)
Is it really only Hump Day?
Blurf!
I woke up at 9:44 today, exactly 16 minutes before the start of my first class. I contemplated not going, but went anyway, and made it on time, but now I haven’t had a shower of brushed my teeths or shaved or used deoderant or any of those other luxuries you can’t afford when you oversleep your alarm by an hour and a half. I feel grungy and it’s pissing me off.
Today is grey and hazy and ugly. It needs to nicen-up, this kind of weather demotivates me like you wouldn’t believe and I have lossa work to do. This means that instead I will probably play Super Smash Bros Brawl with Alex…
{{{{{{Everyone, whether they need it or not, because hugs are awesome**}}}}}}**
Wow. I remember you announcing that FCDaughter was going to be a freshman at UCF like it was yesterday. Has it really been that long?!?!?
Aaargh. The woman who sits behind me spends All. Frakkin. DAY. yapping on the phone really loudly. Thankfully, she only works out of this office a couple of days a week, because otherwise I’d never get any work done.
Mooooooom, keeping fingers crossed for FCDaughter. Tough times all 'round, huh?
Oh, and I’m sure you’ll all be proud to hear that I submitted my personal objectives to New Boss Guy and not a single one of them involves a 3pm coffee run.
