Happy Toosday!
It looks to be hot outside. I don’t to go out so I won’t.
Today is pizza day and laundry day, I don’t want pizza I have lots of leftovers to eat.
I never want to do laundry.
Yesterdays doctor visit was rather unpleasant. I won’t go into the details other than to say that when a doctor has a woman in certain position, said woman should not have a view of the instruments of torture. It does nothing to help one to relax. When my friend came to the exam room to get me she saw said instruments of torture in the sink and turned a visibly ‘whiter shade of pale’. I was relieved to see that what I had thought was garden shears wasn’t.
The somewhat good news is, while he has to run more tests, he thinks it’s not cancer. The other good news is that I will be asleep for the next torture session.
I don’t know when I got so wussie, I went through amino without batting an eye (Sah-sons father turned green), I’ve watched myself get stitched up, fallen asleep in cat scans,
now I turn into a wobbly mass of pale white jelly just walking into an exam room.
YAY!!! Sticky!!! Congrats and you go girl!
I hope everything turns out for you FCM, maybe an upgrade to a better cabin to compensate for your inconvenience?
Sean look at it this way, no coffee for me means more coffee for you.
Good Luck Bobbio
Just in time for me to leave, my office has become Bear Central. Well, I can’t confirm “bear” but definitely Beard Central, and some are nice to look at…
Apparently, facial fur is a job requirement for firewall engineers.
**BooFae **- as aggravated as I am at my travel agent, there are extenuating circumstances. Her husband is in early stages of dementia and he’s in a nursing home. She’s trying to deal with him, put her home up for sale, find another place to live, and run a business. I’d never blow up to her face, hence my rantings here. Anyway, it’s all fixed up, including getting our trip in Norway back on the itinerary - no more wait list!
However, in the future, I won’t be using her services. Mom has relied on her in the past, but honestly, I think I could have done it all myself with much less trouble. I have a friend who’s an agent, and she’s always saying how foolish it is to do it yourself, but then she would say that. I don’t care. Everything’s back in order. Yay.
BBBobbio prayers and good thoughts headed out. DANG!
MOOOOOOM glad everything’s good with the cruise and stuff again. I still like the idea of a hoard of pointy stick wieldin’ Sri Lankan paratrooper spiders descendin’ though. 
Sticky sounds like you found your dream gig. YAY!!!
Ok, so new assistant has had the thrill of listenin’ in on a conference call and observin’ as I enroll a new participant. Lucky her, huh? She’s at N.O.L. now as am I. After N.O.L. she gets the added thrill of me explainin’ the process of gettin’ everything in to TPTB so an official start date for the new person can be set. If that ain’t enough, she also heard me jackin’ up a couple folks who had not gotten their timesheets in to payroll as of this mornin’. She was flabbergasted to learn that this happens every payroll. She, like me, cannot comprehend why someone would apparently NOT want to get paid.
Irk is just a thrill a minute.
Ok, back at it.
this waiting sucks. I’m basically flying standby.
I never wanted them to lose my [del]luggage[/del] body parts.
Do you at least get an undersized bag of salty peanuts?
**BBBobbio **- quit whining! At least you got some time off work! 
When **FCD **got his GB out, he was also squeezed in, and they didn’t get to him till late in the afternoon. Seems to me it was after 7PM when he finally got out - that was one long-ass day. Oh, and it was his birthday, so there was that, too.
Missed that post before- good luck BBobbio! Hope they get round to you fast.
Having a grumpy day- housemate had asked me if I could give him and his stuff a lift into town. It’s not a big job, he says, it’s just one load, and should only take about half an hour. 2pm okay? Maybe a little after?
We set off about 3.15, and finally got home about 5.30. Half of that time was spent driving his mate through the city centre in heavy traffic, with him suggesting ‘Short cuts’ the wrong way up one way streets and suchlike. I did get fuel money, but I’ve basically wasted most of the day doing that, and I still have to pick 'em up again later.
On the plus side, I’ve finally bitten the bullet and booked a ticket for the juggling convention in Ireland this summer- the deadline for discounted pre-booked tickets being tonight. I can’t really afford it, but I see one of the organisers most weeks, and she’s been talking about it for almost 3 years now, so I really didn’t want to miss it.
This does mean I won’t be getting beees until next year, however, at least unless I get a new job, as I don’t think I could manage two big extra expenses this summer.
Such luck, Bobbio. 
Nothing exciting happening today :knocks on wood:
So who’s going to make eight teeny tiny shoulder patches for each spider, Mr. Smart Guy?
:dubious:
US Army only wear one Ranger patch; there aren’t any on their legs.
Now that I’ve done my part by reducing those patches by 87.5%, you should get sowing so that we divide the work amongst us.
Got it yesterday at lunch and finished it before I went to bed last night. Butters has a lightsaber!!!

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.
[/QUOTE]
I was in Bergen back in 1985. Our ship was following a Soviet (back in the days of the USSR, not Russian) battlegroup and we stopped there get some food. We left Norfolk in a hurry, and didn’t bring enough vittles (or people). For three days before we pulled into Norway, we ate roast beef and homemade bread for breakfast, lunch, dinner and midrats.

Well that’s one way of looking at it. Long term, though, as more and more people stop drinking it, the less those Brazillians and Jamaicans think they need to grow, reducing the world’s supply of coffee, and therefore driving up the price. In the long term. Did I ever mention that I failed my one economics course in college?
Congrats to StickyBuns for rejoining the ranks of the employed. And doing so with style and a really important calling.
Bob Hang in there. The doctors can do these things in their sleep now. So make sure your surgeon is napping before they put you under.
Swampy that happens here too. I try and try to tell people that they need to do this the first thing on Mondays, but there are always idjits who get it wrong.
You, Mr. Smart Guy Two, can be the one to tell the spiders that you say they only get one patch.
ouchie
I made the mistake of walking out onto the deck in my bare feet.
Sah-dog got his ear cleaned inside the house today. No wonder he hung at the door and watched me walk out.
Who said anything about only one patch? US Army soldiers have a flag patch, a name tape, a branch tape (Army, Navy, etc), & a rank. I don’t see why our spiders shouldn’t get the same. They only have one Ranger patch. Oh, & don’t forget, you need mini Sri Lankan flags, not US ones.
I see you’ve changed your tone. :dubious:
But Sri Lankan? They aren’t fighting for their country, they are mercenaries.
Howdy from da cave! I am unsupervised this evenin’ as OYKW is irkin’ late and goin’ to his place when he gets done instead of headin’ out here. Sucks, but I don’t blame him. Also it is really hawt out so da bear does not want to whomp up vittles. It’s sammich night definitely.
BBBobbio hope they perform the gb divorce soonest.
Do mercenaries care about patches? I see the Sri Lankan spiders as bein’ more the mercenary type.
Sean tell me about it! I get whined at on Firday when there’s no pay. My standard reply is too bad. Ok, they do get paid just late like as on the next Firday. I will not feel sorry for grownups who don’t have enough sense to turn in the dang timesheet.
Somehow this spiderdoes not seem as terrifying as I thought.
Hey, Houston residents - did one of you call my cell? I had a missed call and all I know is it’s a number in Houston. No message left, so I’m guessing it was just a wrong number.
Hmmm…Do Sri Lankan spiders have telephones? :dubious:
