And I have to say, these companions of yours are a little strange. I am aware of the “waiting until everyone gets their food” rule, but I have never in a million years had anyone actually take it all that seriously. Who wouldn’t let you eat your food? Nicotine-induced rage (or rather the lack thereof) or not? If it makes you feel any better, I wouldn’t know what to do in this situation either.
Anyway, my mini rant is that I have a job interview tomorrow morning at 5:40 A.M. It’s a phone interview and the other person is on the east coast, and I am on the west coast, but it seems this person took no consideration of the time zones. Ugh. It’s for a good job, though, but still, it’s insane how early this is.
SCL, I accidentally saw that picture too. Horrifying doesn’t begin to do it justice. Poor dog…
And little one still isn’t sleeping worth a damn. She finally was almost asleep at 3am, so my stupid German shepherd decided to start barking. I could have cried. It’s now 6am Monday, I’ve been awake since 8pm Saturday (2 hour nap then.) I’m outside hiding on the porch because I just need to step away for a minute. We’re both so sleepy that we’re irrational, and toddlers aren’t very rational to begin with!
Wait…what? What the hell?! As you said, “The man just had his had his chest split open and his heart cut apart”, and these people expect him to think about WORK?! What freakin’ planet do they live on? I’d be saying, “Um, no, he’s not gonna be worried about work for quite a while. You can take these back with you.” Seriously, WTF. :mad:
I know, I just know that one of my friends is cheating on Words With Friends. So far, he’s played the following words:
Borages
Duit
Pis
Kea
Emf
Now, I know full well that he doesn’t know what any of those words mean. I could be wrong. Maybe he is fully conversant with arcane Dutch currency (Duit) or Middle-Eastern horticulture (Borage). But he probably isn’t. I know the guy. His vocabulary is fine, but it’s not that good. He’s cheating. My quandry is this: Since I can’t prove mathematically that he’s cheating like a motherfucker, but I know that he is, should I cheat back? Or should I take the moral high ground and eke out the rest of the game making dogshit two letter words from my ever-changing stack of vowels?
Ok, so I had my eye exam today. My eyes are healthy, they just completely changed from being near sighted (most of my life) to being far sighted in that five day stretch. I’m still kinda beside myself because damnit, I liked those glasses. Now they’re useless to me.
Funny thing was that she asked about the $5 reading glasses I bought from CVS, what were they. I said 2x. She said that is exactly what I need. Heh. I bought them almost three months ago for up close reading, now they’re what I need for near vision. What an odd coincidence.
Took longer to pay the bill than the entire exam. Fucking UHC. First it says I’m eligible for an exam. Then it says I’m not. Then it says the site is down for maintenace. So he calls them and they say no, because I’ve allegedly had an exam at another store clear across town. Um, no I have not. Never been to that store. Finally they get it cleared and I get a chance to get out of there.
And fuck me royally, but who on Gods Green Earth sells the plastic card sleeves for checkbooks and wallets? The one in my checkbook is old and ripped up and no longer holds any cards. I’ve been to Walmart, Office Depot, Kohls and Target (the last two because that’s where the manager at Office Depot told me to check) and NO ONE sells the damned things. I really hate the idea of on-line shopping for a cheap fucking piece of plastic.
Can’t tell you where to get a cheap plastic one, but mosey over to your local ARC Value Village and you can get a nice leather one for a few bucks. They are in with the ladies’ purses.
I pit the Canadian Government. I’ll admit that with our recent court decision my timing is poor but holy hell.
Husband needs a security clearance and they have a crazy list of people that he needs to provide information on in order to get it. Including my mother and dead stepfather. I visited exactly once in the entire time they were married and haven’t spoken to my mother in 6 years but there is no option on the form to say “not a chance I’m speaking to her to get this information” and thus I’m forced to quiz relatives who have quite nicely stayed out of our conflict in order to complete the form.
Unfortunately it’s likely that none of them will be able to answer the questions about dead step father and thus I’ll be forced to talk to her. I’m SO unimpressed.
On the plus side I was overdue for a call to my father and now I’m not.
Canada: once again riding on the US’s coattails. Case in point: “The Bachelor CANADA”. Joining the ranks of “So You Think You Can Dance CANADA”, “Who Wants to Be A Millionaire: CANADIAN EDITION”, “CANADA’S Next Top Model”, “Project Runway CANADA”, etc.
Why can’t Canada come up with it’s own ideas instead of ripping off American shows with the qualifier “Canada”? :mad:
If you’re ripping them apart like that it might not hurt to have a backup spare anyway.
Highs in the 70s this week. WTF? I’d like to start planting things but I just KNOW if I do we’ll get a late freeze and I’ll lose everything and be all heartbroken, and if I don’t, it won’t happen and I’ll have lost my head start on the growing season before the summer heat and drought…
Can you make words like, “Cheater,” or, “Jerk,” or, “Busted?”
I have a nice leather wallet that has un-removable plastic card sleeves - they’ve been getting wrecked for a while now, and when they’re through, so is the wallet, in spite of it still being in great condition.
I just chucked my old crockpot. I came home from work expecting to find beef stew happily bubbling away. Instead I get charcoal. It should’ve still had another couple hours of cook time. And yes, I had it on the right setting!
This is the second time I’ve had this happen. It was 15+ years old, so I guess it had a good run. Still, I was pissed about dinner. Boyfriend fetched sandwiches from deli instead.
We’ve found that Goodwill usually has a good selection of crockpots for really cheap. Make sure you don’t get a replacement that has a plastic lid. IME, they don’t cook as well as one with a glass lid.
