Swampy, he’s finally coming around & you didn’t notice; he used “shrimp” & “fry” in the. Same. Sentence!
Morning Blurf. At irk awaiting a conference call at 10:30. Our accounting program SAP will now interface with our Point of Sale system so the call is to let us know what to do differently. I forsee a lot of problems but we shall see.
Congrats on the new job MMMMMoooooooommmmm!!!1!!
Thanks, Butters! I just finished submitting the application on the company website - they had taken down the announcement yesterday, but my future boss had HR reinstate it, so that’s done.
I need to get a couple of jackets or cardigans since I tend to get really cold in most offices. But apart from that, I think I’m good to go.
YAY!
Happy Thorsday!
or not
It got nice and cool last night.
It’s a nice sunny 72 now.
I woke up with a cramp in my leg, the kind that runs from the top of the foot up the shin bone. The cramp is gone but the top of my foot still hurts.
Last night was hot though, in a different way.
Around 9 somebody knocked on my door. I was working and had to mute the call so I could yell at Sah-son to get the door. One of the neighbors there to tell me that some brats I the neighborhood were messing with my truck. I guess we hadn’t locked the doors because the little shits had gotten inside. Sah-son went out to check on things and couldn’t get the interior lights to go out. So I had to put myself on break and go out with him and I couldn’t get the lights to go out either. I have to go back out this morning and go through everything to make sure nothing is missing. There’s nothing of value in there anyway although I didn’t see my tire pump last night.
I guess I’d better figure out a time to go to my mother’s. I still have a few things there and should get them now. She’s going away for a week or so and by the time she gets back I’m sure my niece will have moved in or at least she will be there most of the time. Her boys get into everything and the HFH will be snooping.
Congrats** FCM ** and I hope you feel better soon.
Conga-rats, mooooom! How will we survive without the daily laundry update? In honour of the occasion, I shall go home and put bedding in the wash just so that the universe continues to spin properly.
I’m very tired today, got lots of boring stuff to do involving timetables which isn’t great because it involves checking stuff on spreadsheets and while it’s not exactly complicated, it’s fiddly because there are several similar events going on and it’s very easy to get mixed up with it all.
I’ve got a heap of ironing to do tonight which I hope to get finished, my beloved is making dinner so at least I don’t have to think about that when I get in. I plan to go back to the gym tomorrow evening as I’ve missed my exercise while I’ve been away, and now it’s time to get back to normal.
Ho hum.
so last week, I met a newly moved in neighbor. nice lady. now she visits me every morning.
Is this a good thing or a “if I don’t post for several days check the basement and yard for signs of fresh digging” sort of thing?
Dad-gummit, FCM here I am planning my retirement and you’re gong back to irk…you’re setting a bad example for me!!!
Seriously, I hope it works out great for you (and that you can access SDMB at your new location…I’d really miss Moooooomm if she was limited in her posting.
Otherwise, I am a happy man; an item we have tried to get on contract for over 3 YEARS was finally awarded today. Can’t tell the whole sad story, but it was frustrating and painful and tied up in legalisms and…the thing is done.
And it won’t deliver until I’m safely retired, so someone else will have to worry about the problems of delivery and what things are missing…
And Jimmy Johns’ is in the Lobby with Sammiches! Oh fabjous day!!
I meant to tell you welcome home BooFae
My head is spinning this week, too much to think about.
Coffee klatch or creepy stalker?
{{{bobbio}}}
Congrats on the new job, Mooom!
Things have slowed down enough that I’m poking into some new assignments now. I’m taking off tomorrow for a doctor’s appointment in teh morning and, since most Friday afternoons are dead, I might as well get an early start on the weekend. Too bad that I don’t get Monday off too.
Back from practice ,and walking Gordie.
Or if her last name is “Donner” ,and she wants you to come to her dinner party Saturday.
Congrats on being employed, Mooommmmm!!!
Sari ,that sucks.
more a lonely-ish woman whose husband is in a nursing home and whose son can’t be bothered to even call her on her birthday (yesterday). I made her a card, though; gave it to her when she popped by yesterday morning.
She’s nice, but I already know all about her family. She read me the whole history in the first couple of days.
She’s also cool. She partakes of herbal refreshment every now and then. 
She’s sort of like I envision myself in 20 years (except she’s 5’-nothing and weighs maybe 80lbs soaking wet.)
**BooFae **- I’ll still do laundry, of course. But it may be a case of hanging it out one evening and bringing it in the next. Plus there are always weekends.
MetalMouse - I’ll be very surprised if I have unfettered access to the web from work, and certainly in the first few months, I expect to be deeply in training and much too busy to fart around on line. 
Apart from maxing my contributions to the 401k, I’m going to tuck as much as I can into savings against the inevitable deaths of the stove, dishwasher, water heater, and one or both vehicles, hoping there’ll be enough left over for the cruise we want to make to Antarctica.
Guess I need to get into the going-to-work mindset.
It’s thundering and starting to rain. Of course it is - I ran sprinklers for hours this morning…
I called my mother to ask her one simple question. an hour later we’re still on the phone.
I wanted to know when she is leaving and coming back.
It’s getting dark outside and I heard some rumbling. Guess another thunder boomer is coming through.
I need some lunch. Then it’s time to do some work around here.
Howdy from da cave! My irk week is officially over! Let the loooooong Amurrkin Labor Day weekend begin. I’d pop open a beerverage ‘cept I still plan to accomplish mowage this evenin’. Right now ‘tis all cloudy out and I felt a few rain drops. Here’s hopin’ the rain stays away until mowage completion.
MOOOOOOM congrats on the new gig! Have you arranged for Higgs’ daycare yet? I think she should have a full-time nanny.
Dindin will be a combo of sammiches and whatever is in da fridge.
Laterz!
I’m with you, Sari; I hadn’t even had lunch by the time Swampy had already called it a day.
Congrats, Mooommm, to celebrate your being a Drafter IV, I shall have a draft (or 4) tonight.
I am entirely of your way of thinking.
Executive decision has been made - Pizza Hotline is delivering supper. Hope they’re quick - I’s hongreeeee!!
WHAT?!?!? :eek:
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria! But no, it’s more than just that - The world has stopped spinning! The universe is now contracting!
Flytrap agrees w/ me on something???
