Happy Birthday, 7/8!
I’m between projects, so I guess I can count it as being off. Was supposed to get an interview an hour ago but nobody called, I’ve asked the agent to confirm if I’m supposed to get called tomorrow or what. He’s one of those guys who can’t understand “sorry but this is a bad time, can you call” “//oh, I’m so sorry to hear that, since we’d really like to blahblahblah”… it’s a good thing I don’t need to have a good opinion of the intermediaries, because so many of them give the impression of having been dropped on their head at some point.
This one’s name is quite unique. His fb ass-shot is, uh, quite unique too :smack:
Laziness and heat set in - it’s too doggone hot to work on the hill - especially since it’s in the sun. So except for taking down the towels later when they’re dry, I quit.
Hello Mumpers! It’s nearly noon and I’ve been dawdling over toast and coffee for an hour and a half. Ain’t the internet grand?
I was going to swim at the condo’s pool (which closes after today), but to be honest, I’m already headachy from the heat, and I’m not feeling it. So probably just being lazy today. I’ll clean out the dishwasher and put new kitty litter in the box, but that’s about it.
It’s a cool sunny 68 degrees outside. It’s supposed to get up to 90 later. I hope not.
I’m irking today because I irk everyday. The company is open 24/7/365, I can take off but then I don’t get paid. I’m still playing catch up from taking off for surgery.
We took the trash out last night, forgot that there is no trash pickup today.
I have to call CVS today and ask if they can transfer my prescriptions up here. What is interesting to me is that I filled my weekly pill case and none of the pills are even. I have 4 of 1 pill, 7 of another pill, 8 of another and 26 (13 days worth) of another. The one I have 8 of is the one I stopped taking for 3 days before surgery. Somebody somewhere doesn’t know how to count, and that somebody isn’t me.
Happy Birthday Midget!
I am drinking coffee and then shall make biscuits. Plans for the day include buying Star-dog a leash and collar so we can try walks (she’s our blind doggie who loves to run and run in the yard and the park). Followed by movie and time in the cement pond. I shall BBQ something. Highs in the upper 90s.
No irk for me today, either, but I did go in yesterday. I’ve been off for interviews and such, and things at my actual, paying job got a bit behind, so I went in yesterday when no one else was there and I could get stuff done without being distracted.
Ah, yes. The interviewing. Panty hose in August; a million forms that have to be filled out with the same damn information as my resume, which was also requested; and a cranky boss that is afraid I might leave. I had two interviews back-to-back last week, and both went well. So Friday afternoon, one of the other managers approached me about a promotion I’d applied for that was in house. I was offered, I accepted, and once people come back from vacation, I’ll get a start date.

Obligatorey drnken psot. If I’m making beer butt chicken, and you are supposed to shove a half-full can of beer up the chicken’s ass, you don’t expect me to pour the excess down the sink, do you?
BBQing while buzzed is quite the experience, lemme tell ya…
Back in my days of corporate work every now and then and when I was feeling unappreciated, I’d start dressing a little nicer, take a few long lunches, go use the payphone in the lobby instead of the one at my desk.
It always got their attention and got me a little appreciation.
You shouldn’t have to play games but sometimes it’s the only thing that works.
The dog is still a bit wonky today. From what I read online it should take about 8 hours for the meds to get out of his system, but in an older dog it can take up to 24.
Howdy Y’all! Been a very lazy day here at da cave. We lolled around all mornin’ then went for a <snerk> Quickie! <snerk> N.O.L. OYKW is at his place doin’ laundry so I am unsupervised. The chikin’ enchiladas that were supposed to be dindin tonight shall be dindin tomorrow instead. He’s stayin’ at his place cause he’s feelin’ kinda icky, poor thing. It sounds like a sinus infection.
Laundry is stowed, but a pile of towels need to be rewashed. I threw them in with FCD’s shop rags when he promised me they weren’t stinky. They were - gross!! So I’ll have to rewash the towels (mostly dishtowels) when I do shorts and t’s tomorrow.
Supper will be ribs and they’ve been in the toaster oven, covered in Sonny’s Sweet BBQ Sauce for 3 hours at 250° - they were tender after being smoked, then should melt in our mouths now. Smashed N.O.T.s and steamed broccoli for sides. Yum!
Home form the soirée at the Beach. It is awful hot out. There were about 50 folks average age maybe mid 30’s. Some nice folks. Lots of good food and lots of alcoholic beverages and edibles. I had a bunch of gummy candies soaked in vodka. They pack a punch. I had food and drank a few bottles of water. I made it back safely so there’s that. Did I mention it is very hot?
