Got sent home early from irk again. I got my Christmas bonus with my paycheck this morning, so I can afford a light pay week. I also got all my Christmas shopping done–I got gifts for nine people for less than $40. fistpump
Yesterday I missed the company Christmas party. another fistpump I had a legitimate excuse–PT appointment (all is going well, there is a light at the end of the tunnel re. my bum foot). Turns out I got a Major Award, specifically the Service award for my help with Relay for Life and generalized support for Executive Housekeeper who was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer this year. I got a useful bag full of goodies, including Candy Cane Hershey’s Kisses!
Nuttin’ like endin’ the irk week on a high note. I’ve been pushin’ one of my host agencies to hire a participant whose praises they have sung over and over and over. I just got word he officially starts there full-time Moanday mornin’. WOOHOO!!!
Dindin tonight shall be nachos cause I got me a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for some.
I shall wrap up irk for the week shortly. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!
Howdy from da cave! Let the weekend begin! I’d normally post “cracks opens beerverage”, but I already did that. The makeage of nachos shall commence upon the arrival of OYKW. Well I will brown up the spiced up ground beast before then.
There were some cheese thangs left over so I brought 'em home. The spoiled brat will rejoice greatly in this I am sure.
Worked, came home. I’m napping, then I am working an overnight overtime shift at the 24 hour store. Then another nao before hockey.
I thought this was part of the conversation for a moment.
I read that as a used bag of goodies
[Bad Boss]“Congratulations, Spaz, and here is something we found in Room 213.”[/Bad Boss]
swampy,my old answering machine message was “Press ‘1’ to be ignored by a human. Press ‘2’ to be ignored by a machine. Press ‘3’ to to talk to the dog. Please press a numbber Nooooowwwwwww!” It might work for the whiners.
I’ll probably do this next time. Hell, I’ve used binder clips to hold back my hair before. Maybe for Halloween next year I’ll just go as The Office Supply Cabinet.
The rain is back. The boy and SO left last night for Phoenix to visit the new baby. Their dog is going to be needy all weekend, but he won’t have his shows going, so I can crank up my tunes.
I got several things off my desk this week, but right at the end one of them boomeranged back - - again. I will grrr about it Monday.
The MMP freezes in awe of my eloquence!
Tremble, MMPers, to learn that the state has given us the 24th, 25th and 26th off, and I have used some of my Vast Vacation Time for the 22nd and 23rd!
I do not have to go to work for NINE DAYS!
I will sit in my underwear, smoke cigars and post while Swampy, Spiderman and Vunderboob toil away in their dark, Satanic Mills!
Somehow, Higgs doesn’t get the concept of weekends. On the other hand, I woke up before 5 anyway - might as well get up with her and let my sweetie sleep.
It’s literally frosty outside - I saw the yard sparkle when I let the dog out, and the thermometer outside the garage door read 24°. rah. **FCD **wants to spend the weekend working on his bike. I’ll do some heavy-duty tidying upstairs and finish the lap robe I’ve got partly done. We may or may not go to breakfast when he gets up. The day is fluid.
I do need to make some cookies - he’s got a lunch at work on Monday and they asked for desserts. So today or tomorrow, I’ll whip up a batch of oatmeal cookies. And I think the turkey is thawed, so I’ll rotiss it tomorrow. Gee, it’s looking like my weekend will be spent largely in the kitchen. How very domestical…
And he’s decided to take Firday off, so he’s got a 4-day weekend ahead. Our only plans involve going to my brother’s on Thurs.
Back of the mind plans include the very likely possibility of a funeral in FL soon. My BIL appears to have given up completely. He’s diabetic and he’s refused to adjust his diet or activity level. He’s lost his job (again - that makes 3 or 4 in as many years.) His heart is functioning at about 25%, he can hardly walk or stand, he just got out of the hospital again and I expect he’ll be back in before too long.
It makes me really angry because it’s his own damned fault and he doesn’t seem to care. His wife is out of vacation time, so his folks (in their 80s and dealing with their own health issues) have been hauling him around and taking care of him. I’ve never much liked this BIL anyway, but lately he’s even pissing **FCD **off big time because of his attitude.
Don’t mean to be this way, but this is the only place I can vent safely. Just ignore me while I froth on…
