12:08 P.M., finished with all my work, including the stuff I save up for days when I have nothing to do. I will soon begin making up work for myself, just because.
[Big Sister Voice]Yeah, well who do you think paved the way with Mom and Dad? If it wasn’t for Us, you’dda had to have a revolution, too. By the time they got to you, we’d already broken them in. So there! 
[/BSV]
I’ve been meaning to ask, what’s your paper going to be on? And is this something you have to do even before you start grad school?? I’d have revolted if I’d had to do a paper before school even started! :eek:
(Actually, can you repeat your answers to the above next week? I’m about to get outta here and pro’ly won’t check the MMP this weekend. But in any case good luck with that and keep us posted on how it’s going.)
I had the shrimps. I knew you all were just sitting there in front of your puters, hitting refresh over and over hoping I’d be there to say what I had for lunch. 
I also had a beer. In the middle of the work day. I am a rebel!
There was this big purple truck that was hauling a huuuuge hvac unit and it kept going up and down the road (one of the main drags around here) the whole time we were eating lunch. It passed by six times. We discussed the possibility of it not being the same purple truck but perhaps six different purple trucks all hauling huuuuuge hvac units from this one place that has all purple trucks. In the end we decided that it was the same truck and it was taking the hvac unit on a joyride. It made perfectly good sense to us.
Oof-da! Will this day ever end?
It’s not even lunchtime yet, dammit!
Swampy, I’ll bet the truck driver was lost. It’s been known to happen. I can tell a few stories of lost truck drivers. Usually, it because of receiving bad directions from the dispatcher.
Sigh…back to work.
Hooray for holidays! We are officially closed Monday and Tuesday, and unofficially shut down for the rest of the week. Everyone received 4 extra days off, to be taken before Labor Day, so most people are taking the whole week off. Which means they’ll be leaving at noon today.
Everyone have a great weekend!
OK-this had to get a bit ugly. The cabinet installer called and said that 7/5 wouldn’t work for his guy, so how about Friday. Well, Friday WOULD have been good, except that I switched that day to help a coworker out, so I am working Friday. And Monday–this is ridiculous, so I I said NO. I said that even though Steve was great, they needed to get me another guy who COULD do it on 7/5. Keep in mind, this was ALL supposed to be done by June 20. So, a guy is coming on 7/5.
Christ on a cracker.
I am the last delivery for both Sears and the countertop guys today–at least I got some errands run.
Nah. We’re pretty sure it was an adolescent truck and hvac unit out joyriding.
Maybe it’s national “Take a Big-Ass HVAC Unit for a Ride on Purple Truck” Day?
Hell, everything else has it’s own day, I wouldn’t be surprised at all.
Smooth or Chunky?
I just had tomato soup and Fritos[sup]TM[/sup] for lunch.
oh and - today at noon, they asked everyone to meet out front where we all sang the Star Spangled Banner while the manages waved little flags - I got to hit the glass-breaking note on “land of the FREE-EEE” and beautifully, too I might add.
Um…I believe that jesus is chunky. Yes, let me just check my version of the New Testament right here–ah, “And lo, they looked at Him in wonder, for his rainment was solid, and uneven in texture.”
yep, that’s it.
I always put jesus on a pogo-stick. As in “jumping jesus on a pogo-stick!”
Stole it from the Dead Milkmen.
Well, if they were dead, it wouldn’t be exactly like stealing, cause well, they woulda had no more use for it.
I wanna go home and take a nap.
I just got some good news - the chorus my sister (who passed in 1981) sang with in 1975 found an official competition photo of her directing the chorus. I am so excited! I’ve been trying to compile a tribute to her for a fund raising thing I’m concocting
Cool rosie! That sounds like a wonderful idea for a fund raiser.
I’m still here and I don’t know why. It’s like a funeral parlor this afternoon except for my disgruntled cow-orker bitching about having to do her job. Oye, the next four days can’t come too soon.
Keh! Everyone knows Jesus resides on a dashboard. There’s even a song. So there!
Okay, everybody, I’m doing chinese take-out for dinner. What should I get? I like lo mein, sesame chicken, mongolian beef and generally anything spicey. I want to try something new.
crab rangoon. Love it. And, my fav–shrimp fried rice.
OK-Sears just called and put ME on hold. No kidding–I picked up and it was a machine telling me to please hold. Then she (a human) comes on the line and asks me to
wait a minute. WTH? I waited (not knowing who was calling me, yet) and she wants to know if I got my washer. Yeah. I tell her I am waiting for the pedestal. She says she is going to close out my delivery. I say, “hey-the guy said he’d be here between 2-4:30 today. Please dont’ cancel my delivery.” She says she is cancelling the Other delivery, that aleady happened. Oy.
I swear I must have been a complete shit in another life. Let us all pray I get my damned pedestal today.
I HATE home improvement.
I just got back from a looooong lunch. Really long. There was beer involved. And a club sandwich. Who cares? It’s like mausoleum around here.
Honestly, for the first time in six months I have absolutely nothing to do. I actually watched the entire Argentina v. Germany game, and I hate soccer (Germany won on overtime penalty kicks, in case anybody cares, which you don’t). I’m just that bored. Which (in a roundabout way) leads me to:
Annoying Thing No One Warned Me About When I Took This Stupid Job #436 -
I turns out that I’m supposed to do performance evaluations.
I hate this fucking job.
Surprise! We just got Carvel Flying Saucers.
Are they flying saucers that shoot death rays? Cause, that’d be like, so jake!
