Nuts - I’m 56 and I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.
herbs, I hope that your knees are feeling better soon.
nuts, wise choice on not going to that interview. Paying them cash for a DBS is shady and paying for your own DBS is also a conflict of interest.
Keeping busy at irk today. I am trying to think of a payback for the cow-orker who left the Chick tract yesterday. Any ideas? 
Dammit! I hit the wrong button and flushed my post! :mad:
Summary - FIL is doing well - we just left him so he could get some sleep. His therapy is going extremely well - they had him up and walking twice today.
We’re leaving in the wee small hours of the morning, and I’m ready to be gone. I miss my house and my bed and my kitchen.
Oh yeah, and we had lunch at Sonny’s - YUM!!!
That’s all.
sari, I will be further perusing that site when I get home. Until then, what can I leave on a desk that will let him know that the games have begun?
Howdy from da cave! I had to be out and about locally and made the executive decision to head to da cave when I finished up. I shall go meet OYKW at our fav-o-rite Mexican place in a little while for an early dindin. He want’s Mexican and he’s buyin’ so who am I to argue.
Red I don’t suppose you just happen to have a small plastic horse. If you did you could cut off the horse’s haid and leave it on his desk.
How much tape do you have?
Or, do you have a small screwdriver/knife, you know the kind you can use to pop the keys off on the keyboard & then replace them in a random pattern. :eek:
Got my employee-sponsored flu shot a few minutes ago. I was a good widdle girl and got a wowwipop, and a Loony Toons band-aid, complete with Speedy Gonzales! I loved that non-politically-correct little guy! 
- shlurp * * shlurp *
Mmmmm. Watermelon Dum-Dums. Tastes like victory … and a boosted immune system!
swampy, I like that!
spidey, the culprit is a departmental data geek. Rearranging the keys on his keyboard would incur the wrath of the IT guys upstairs, which is a Bad Thing ™, although he himself would get a chuckle from it.
shoe, I didn’t get a lollipop for my flu shot. I’m thinking that the hospital was derelict in their duty. 
I blame Obamacare!
Back from the ingestion of Mexican commestibles. Soon to become Mexican combustibles.
I say one is never to old to get a lollipop after a shot. Also a Speedy Gonzalez bandaid. Oh and a balloon!
I got my charger today so no need to cuss at anybody.
Good thing I didn’t hold my breath because settlement has been rescheduled for Thorsday. It will be in Catonsville - not that that means anything to anybody not in MD but I will be heading to my mothers tomorrow and leave from her house Thorsday am since it’s closer to her. Sah-son wants to see her and
I think she wants us there.
Her bf is dying, there is no hope. It’s probably just a matter of days,
Damn.
You would. 
sari it looks like your mama needs a strong shoulder to lean on.
Sarcasam-it is a difficult concept.
this.
I totally LOL’d, Plant.
My condolences to your mom, sari. It’s a hard time for her, so I’m glad you can help, however you can.
I keep getting distracted by my own nails. They’re bearing a coat of pale pink polish, which is unusual enough for me (I’m more of an acid-green toenails, bare fingers kinda girl) but they also have teeny sparkly rhinestones on them! Tee-hee! NewGuy’s sons’s birthday is this week and he got to have him** this last weekend so we scrounged up enough cash to go to one of those nickel arcade places where you get tickets to trade in for silly little prizes. And I traded all my tickets for a sheet of sparkly pink rhinestone nail stick-on thingies, and they’re PINK, and I feel ever so girly right now.
Then again, two little sparkly bits had chipped off within a couple of hours and I’m typing this with a python in my lap (getcher mind outta the gutters, I meant more like this) so I guess I’m not really fooling anybody with my temporary girliness. As temporary as the stickums on my fingertips…
** I hate that phrasing. Makes the kid sound like a borrowed sweater or something. Ok: we got to have him stay with us this weekend. There, that’s better. 
Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.
Jesus, Mary and Joe Cocker.
The snake is thinking, “If I were just a little larger…”
Ok finally caught up. Y’all are a chatty bunch. Irk is driving me crazy. Too many layers. If I gotta do HR’s job WTF is she doing?
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr and Arrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggg
On a brighter note I actually did a webinar and enjoyed it. Looking at you Swampy. I am going to expand sales with less staff and shorter hours oh wait…I did that last. FY. I am very anti waste but am guilty of being a slacker at times.
No one cares except me that I saved money here or made more there. That I ended the FY with a net cash overage of 11$ in our favor w sales of over $1M. For the entire FY. No one cares. Or even notices.
Well no more! I am going to demand additional staff. I will not be wasteful but dammit I need more staff.
I know I have missed sending condolences. Nurse’s DH parent. I lost both my parents in 2000. Now my oldest brother is fighting cancer. He was never bigger than. 30" waist so of course with the chemo/radiation he is probably 100 lbs. he did get a feeding tube. He will not talk to me but thank goodness he has a young smart wife so she keeps me updated daily. He will call me when he feels like it.
I have already got a plane ticket and rental car reserved early in Nov. gonna be cold for this island girl. My greatest fear is the driving from Atlanta airport. I am a good driver but I’ll be in a strange car with tons of fast moving traffic. I never drive over 50 on two lane roads. I am really worried about it.
Having lost my parents I must say my Mama’s demise was especially hard but this is my Sibling. Just a different feeling.
Sorry to rattle. (((Baker))))). nurse sari. Brandi
