Cranking Up The MMP

No. Do keep your filthy thoughts to yourself. :rolleyes::p;)

You have always been on the Little List, but you just made First Place.

That is remarkable, considering Mitt Romney, George Bush, Ruhollah Mostafavi Moosavi Khomeini, and Mrs. Plant (v.2.0)

Congratulations, such as they are.

To add interest and verisimilitude to an otherwise bland an uninteresting narrative. After all, it is about dogbutler.

I suspect that dogbutler would miss my spell checker error, so I am helping out the challenged.
I’m a nice guy, once in a while.

[doing the Snoopy dance of joy for Sticky] I hope the new job is even better than you now think it will be.

Up, caffeinated, off to work. It’s gonna be pushing 100 this week, with thunderboomers today.

I give your posts all the attention that they warrant. Which is usually the amount of attention a toddler with ADHD gives an object at any point in time.:stuck_out_tongue:

Many congrats, Sticky!!! So, are you gonna share any details??

I am temporarily pissed. I just went to my cruise site and our reservation has been canceled!!! :mad: Supposedly the agent paid off the balance yesterday, but the reservation no longer exists! If we lose our cabin because of her, I will be royally steamed!! I can’t do anything at the moment, but I’ll be calling my mother in a bit. Trying not to panic…

Dammit.

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 72 Amurrkin with a predicted high of 92 with a heat index of around a hunnert. Summer is comin’ on strong!

MOOOOOOM surely the travel agent didn’t cancel the reservation instead of payin’ off the balance. Then again, from what you’ve had to say about her, intelligent is not an adjective one would choose to describe her.

Ok, that’s all I got this mornin’. I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, alas, I need to get a move on and purtify for irk.

Happy Tuesday Y’all!

**swampy **- I don’t think she canceled it - I think she missed the deadline for paying the balance so they canceled it themselves. As I understand, it was supposed to be paid last Friday, but she didn’t do it till yesterday. The reservation was still there yesterday, but not this morning. grrrrrrrrr

Anyway, my sis is staying up there for a few days and I just talked to her. She’s waking Mom up to deal with this. We shall see how it goes.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Just checked the cruise reservation site - our cabin is now “available” - There are a few other cabins on the same deck, so we can get a space once Harriet gets her ass in gear, but if we lose our excursion reservations, I’ll be really pissed - some of the ports are in the middle of nowhere and we’d need transport to go anywhere or see anything.

I hope I’m getting upset for nothing, but right now, I just need to vent.

I’d be upset,too, FCM. I hope your reservation person gets their act together.

This iPad is driving me batty. The keyboard keeps disappearing as I’m trying to type.

My new job is local and working with students who have disabilities in grades 6-8. I’m pretty excited as there are different philosophies on education and life skills and my new employer and I seem to be on the same page.

Non-spoiler, it was good! If I had known you were a fan, I would have let you borrow my copy. :smiley:

I hope my kitties enjoy the breakfast and lunch I prepared. I am at work and the food is on the counter at home. sigh

Edit: First on 2. Woo-Fricking-Hoo!

I’m sure you do your best. :slight_smile:

tl;dr. I am in the Washington Hospital Center tis morning, waiting for emergency gall bladder surgery. more later cuz I don’t have toobz access.

Damn.
My best wishes to you.

Dang, **BBBobbio **- our county hospital not good enough for you?? Are you a gall bladder snob?? Hope your surgeon doesn’t flake on you this time. Good thoughts headed your way!

Meanwhile, my mom has spoken to our agent and she swears everything is fine. I’ll believe it when our reservation is back where it’s supposed to be. Meanwhile, I’m trying to be Zen. Yeah.

I shall ready the spider army (parachute division).

Aside from the obvious poking with pointy sticks, they’d probably be more competent at booking stuff. She’s starting to sound like one of Swampy’s more interesting clients, rather than a travel agent.

Only wound up with one student showing up to juggling club last night, not the three that were ‘probably’ coming, but it does look promising for getting the convention going again. He was definitely keen, and it honestly only takes one person to say it’ll happen :slight_smile:

Anyway, I should get going; it’s all sunny, and I have things to do.

OK, the reservation is back an confirmed. We lost our excursion reservations, but I was able to rebook just about everything. We’re stuck on the wait list for the trip we wanted in Bergen, Norway, but I’ve booked an alternative, just in case.

I can breathe now.

I slept on Murphy for the first time this year last night. Either I didn’t put the cap in tight enough or it’s become not sleep-worthy over the winter because it was not exactly full when I woke up. If I wake up that way tomorrow morn I’m buying a new mattress.
Brekkie was on the go this morn, literally…on the bike trail.
There was a county parks pick-em up parked ½ on the trail, with the bed over an over hanging tree & one guy standing in the bed. Makes sense to just cut the limbs into the bed & drive away as opposed to doing extra work. He musta been the supervisor, 'cause the other guy was standing behind the truck, with a gas can in one hand & a hand-saw in the other. :smack:

Then I saw a cat, on the side of the trail, staring at the bushes. 20 mins later when I came back, it was still staring at the bushes. I think it was cat-atonic.

& now, for this important announcement:

Introducing Peter Parker’s Packings Travel Agency.

Where we’ll not pay your trip bills on time for ¼ less than Mooommm’s TA.

buh-lerf!

Appendages, appropriate and inappropriate, crossed for BBBobbio’s surgery…

Congrats, Sticky - new jobs all round!

Moooom, your travel agent definitely needs a session with the Sri Lankan troops, they would be able to make a better (and much faster) job of booking stuff. All those legs would be very useful! Doesn’t she understand calendars or something? Fool woman, she should know better than to get on your bad side.

I have had a productive day so far, been out to get my hair cut and also picked up tickets for my favourite Swedish band who are playing here in December. I am toying with tickets for Steel Panther for next March so I will have to make a decision on that pretty soon as they sold out quite quickly last time.

I’ll give it some though, after a cup of tea.
