Pretty kittehs, **fluffy**! I’m especially fond of red tabbies. TGIF! It looks like I’ll be out early today. I think I’ll swing by the Asian market before doing the grocery shopping and heading home. ---

Today turned into a cluster@#$% of epic proportions. I woke up with mild nausea and more significant gastrointestinal distress. I made it into work anyway since Miss Q was supposed to be working with me and she could cover for me if I had to go home. Miss Q called in with the same symptoms I was having. That’s fine, I thought. I’ll wait until Big Boss comes in and he’ll let me go home. HR Guy showed up to do the paperirk for the new hires. The new hires come in to get buried under the paperirk. Everyone else comes in. Big Boss does not. I ask HR Guy what’s the deal and he said Big Boss was off for his FIL’s funeral. “I’m sick,” I tell HR Guy. He gets big eyes and texts Detailed AGM. Detailed will come in around 10 for the morning meeting, can I hold out until then? Okay, I say. As promised, Detailed shows up for the meeting. Then he has to shuffle his pile of papers around a little bit and smoke a cigarette. It’s a quarter after 11 by the time I get to go. I hadn’t eaten much of anything this morning because I didn’t want to tax my tender tummy, so I was having a blood sugar crash on top of everything else. One shower and bowl of soup later and I’m feeling more human. Barely. ---

Is there something wrong with yahoo today? I want my damn google back. Every time I try to log in to FB i get sent to the wikipedia page, now I can’t log in to gmail, once again I get sent to the wikipedia page. Even coming here requires extra steps. Is it me or is there something wrong with yahoo? ---

Yahoo, Google, FB and SDMB are all working good for me. Maybe trying clearing your cache/history/cookies and restarting the browser? **Catamount** I hope you get better soon! ☹ ---

Yas, clearing the cache daily is a good idea. Also, if you have it, run a defragger. ---

So… I’m rereading this and think I’m misunderstanding. Dumb question - is everything happening from Yahoo? What if you type in [www.google.com](http://www.google.com) and try working from there? Does that change anything? Or do I have this backwards… ---

What if you type in [www.google.com](http://www.google.com) and try working from there? Does that change anything? Or do I have this backwards… That is what was happening. Firefox switched from google to yahoo ( a while back) and for whatever reason today yahoo search wasn’t working. Unless I typed in the full address starting with www. ir would take me to the wiki page. It’s working now though. Too weird, but ty and **Rosie** for the suggestions. ---

Survived work, now it’s wall to wall hockey wekend. Go me! > [@EmilyG](#): > > There are swings in my city at this time of year. They play music as people swing on them. I always like to swing on them while they’re around. > > Yesterday I was planning to go downtown to a couple of concerts, and leave home a little earlier so I’d have time to swing on the musical swings before the concerts. Then, as I was in the subway, it stopped for a while. I then worried that I wouldn’t have time to play on the swings. I then realized, “I’m getting bummed that I may not get my swing playtime. I feel like such a little kid!” 😛 You’re an adult. You can act like a child whenever you want.🙂 > [@kopek](#): > > I can remember hearing it back when I was in grade school or before. Somewhere in the back of my brain it exists in Polish but I can’t quite pull it up now. I know a Polish RL friend Dave who has used it on Facebook; maybe he started the trend there? 🙂 > > One of the other original worker-bees from when we opened the building is having his last day today. He got a new super-cool job building and improving hiking trails in NY and NJ. We are celebrating by declaring a “beer:thirty” after work. So I may see you all later but if I don’t remember – the liver is evil and must be punished. So say we all! : toasts **Ruble** and **worker bee** : > [@Fluffy\_PickleSniffer](#): > > Happy Friday everybody! 🙂 > It was a busy workweek for me but it’s over at last… LONG LIVE WEEKENDS! > Work started on my driveway at last yesterday - the drive is finished, but they didn’t complete the work on the lawn - it was all chunked and dug up from the tree removal last year so I set up to have the guys doing the drive smooth it all out and fill in holes, and lay down a good layer of black dirt so I can re-seed it and make a nice lawn again. They haven’t done that part. They plowed about half of it up… and left it like that. So I will be heading down to their office today to find out when they intend to finish the job **- and THEY WILL FINISH IT.** I will see to that. What is it with contractors that you have to babysit them to get everything done the way it was agreed? **sigh** I hate arguing. Had to fight with the tree guys last year… the plumbers the year before… next up will be the blacktoppers… hopefully that one won’t be so bad. Only so much that needs doing with that, right? > > Oh! And I just gotta share my kitten with you guys - Nicky is now 7 months old and already bigger than my 10 year old Rummy! > [Nicky on the left - Rummy on the right](https://www.flickr.com/photos/fluffy_jo/16555958834/) No he isn’t fat - he is solid muscle, and like a heavy brick to pick up. I’m seriously considering taking him to the vet for a weigh-in. I’m curious. 🙂 He’s a Siberian, and was the only kitten in his litter, so I knew he’d be big anyway - but he is definitely looking to be bigger than the average for that breed already! If he wasn’t such a dainty eater, I’d be seriously concerned with how to feed him as an adult. Maybe a side of beef every week? :eek: > Have a good one, everybody! 🙂 KITTAH!😃 > [@FairyChatMom](#): > > **FCD** ’s welder has been delivered.
