I’m living wild tonight. Going for beer 2 on a week night.
Sari hang in there. There’s no way co-signing ends well for you, unless you’re taking the long road to getting a car (when you have to assume the payments).
I’m pretty sure if I dread work this much, it’s time to find a new job. 
Up, caffeinated, off to work.
**sari **- you can’t help someone who won’t help himself. If the truth makes him angry, that’s not your problem. And for the record, I think you’re a nice person, but maybe I’m just afraid of having you yell at me. 
**midget **- I was thinking I might use some of my new earnings (when they start) to take violin lessons. Except I want to test drive first. Seriously - I have some stiffness in my hands and I need to know if it would prevent me from playing. There’s a music school between me and where I’m having the car serviced today - I may stop in and talk to them…
I’ve been up since 2. I woke to pee, but never got back to sleep. Between FCD’s horrific snoring and Taz pestering me, plus my bladder going into overdrive, I only dozed a few minutes at a time. So I’m a wreck. But I got FCD’s lunch packed, and Higgs and I have been fed. When it starts looking a bit light out, I’ll toss a load in the washer, and before it gets too hot, I’ll finish the last bit of seeding, provided no one stole the topsoil bags and roll of straw mulch we put on the hill yesterday.
The car needs to be at the dealer at 1 for some kind of software upgrade. I’m kinda hoping I get a call from my future employer that my offer letter is ready - I can stop in there and sign it while on that end of town (down in BBBobbio’s neighborhood.) I had an email from the security officer - she finally sent the attachment that I had to fill out so they could get my badge and get my computer access set up. I think I’m going to be working on base, which puts me in gawd-awful traffic again. This is a large base which empties on to the one main artery headed out of the county. There’s no way for me to avoid the jam. Oh well…
So, laundry, grass seed, car service - that will be my day.
Happy Tuesday!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN 'Tis 71 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 85 for the day. This is a Fallish day for south Jawja. It feels good out cause the humidity is low.
Sari you did the right thing. He has shown that he is irresponsible with money and with payin’ back loans. I wouldn’t worry about him.
OK, that’s all I got for now. I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants sustenance. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence. I am startin’ my day with a trip to the north forty so I shall leave from da cave to go there. Hence, I can slack a bit before headin’ out. Rah.
Happy Tuesday Y’all!
Blurf.
Not only is it Virtual Moanday, but I never reset the time on my alarm clock from yesterday when I wanted to go fishing. The upshot is I was ready to head to the orifice an hour early. :smack: At least I had time to scan the MMP today…

I owe, I owe,
it’s off to irk I go…*
Blurf. Despite good drugs (the kind that send you to rehab if you use them too much), my shoulder still hurts like hell. The sprog is not cooperating, and while my old laptop has not quite shit the bed just yet, the screen is screwed up. I need to back up all of the files from that onto an external hard drive like a brain using a host body. Kinda like Peter Boyle in Young Frankenstein. 
BLURFAGE. I don’t want to go to irk.
Nava! ::tackle hug::
also, blurf.
Still haven’t swept the house yet. The dust bunnies may yet achieve sentience if I don’t get to it.
Made it in to work. have four on-line classes to complete by 30 Spetember to keep my bosses happy. Oh joy.
sari, I’ve loaned money to hopeless causes before; but I knew from the start that they were unlikely to be able to pay it back and I had the money to burn if my suspicions were true. Unless you have a pile of dough sitting around that you can spare (and if you do, I have this bridge in Brooklyn…) or unless this is a real good friend, keep your money for better and more useful purposes–it sounds like you have done more than enough for this character already.
Otherwise, double blurf for being a combined Moanday and Twosday.
I think I might clean the Stately Manor today. I have to do laundry anyway.
sari, as soon as someone says “cosign” and “loan” to me I run away into the night. Not gonna do it nope nope nope won’t be left holding your bag love you but NO. That’s a situation that never ends well.
I wish I knew of a place where I could get George the Viola repaired so I could play him again. It’s been so long since I played I probably need lessons again.
Awake and watching some documentary about “Lincoln vs the Zombies”. At least I think its a documentary. 
He branched out from vampires?
Probably something to do with changing from Whig to Republican.
Kids in part of Connecticut are getting out of school early because it’s going to be too hot for the poor babies, with projected highs in the low 90s? Where I live, we’re looking at at least four days over 100. I don’t know whether to think it’s “adorable” that people in CT can’t handle temperatures ten degrees lower than I’ll be facing, or groan at how overprotected the poor babies are.
In other news, my sinuses are going nuclear and I want to take a baseball bat to whoever sandpapered my throat. The sinuses didn’t let me sleep, either. Today’s gonna be a chore.
I cosigned for my daughter, and come November, her car will be paid off and I’ll be off the hook. But beyond that, no way. And the only reason I cosigned for her was so she could get a good interest rate - she had no credit history and I’ve got a great score. So it worked out.
Laundry is done, seeding, etc, is done, I’m showered and in my robe, cooling down after getting all sweaty. It was only 77°, but the humidity was like 79% - just icky! I’ll be closing the house shortly and turning the air back on, since we’re promised 90° this afternoon. But a front is coming thru late tomorrow bringing cooler temps, so yay!
**FCD **was talking to his boss, who knows everybody in the gummint contracting world in this county, and it turns out I’ll be replacing their drafter on base. They’ve already pulled her back to the main office, which explains why I’ll be starting so soon. And supposedly they’re looking for someone to sit in a cube and draft, which is exactly what I want - give me a task and a deadline and go away.
Of course, it sounds like I’ll start out behind schedule, since the desk will have been empty a few weeks by the time I get there. Whatever - the pay’s the same.
When I was in school, we had to throw planks over the creek because it was so hot that the water was boiling, and we liked it!
I suspect it’s not for the kids but for the staff that CT is canceling classes. How will they survive in the teachers’ lounge without a/c?!?!? :eek:
Don’t they have children walking on a treadmill to run the A/C compressor?
:dubious:
Do you have a violin?
I don’t have a violin - I’ve only ever held one once, a couple of decades ago. But I see where they can be bought for cheap on Craigslist around here. If I could be sure that I could hold one without pain, I’d get one and take lessons. Just because.
Having a sammich before heading down to the dealer.
