“Adorable”? They actually called the fridge “adorable”?
Call me weird, but to me “adorable” brings to mind little girls in pretty dresses bearing flowers and kisses, not faux-old refrigerators.
If it keeps the bacon and beer cold, they can call it anything they want.
Yoiks - I almost worked thru lunch!! :eek:
My coworker brought back the drawings he was checking for me and I’ve been fixing (and finding) errors. Then **FCD **called after his Dr appt - they’ll keep him in the hospital at least 2 nights, so I’ll be coming to work on Firday, saving myself some vacation time, so there’s that. When I hung up the phone, I noticed the time - easy to lose track when you’re busy.
The Dr issued him a back brace which my sweetie described as a Chinese puzzle - I’m assuming that means it’s mysterious and Confucius-ing… 
He’ll need to find out if I have to bring his walker to the hospital. How sad that a man who hadn’t yet hit 60 has his own walker.
Four more hours to go… not that I’m counting.
“Villains!” I shrieked, “dissemble no more! I admit the deed! --tear up the planks! here, here! --It is the beating of his hideous heart!”
Git 'em rosie. Make them feel bad for trying to make you feel bad. >:D
I a, having chili for lunch/dinner - that’s the best secret I have.
Not much Dope time today; already busy planning next years history event. I’ll see everyone after work.
Happy Moonday!
It’s hot outside when the sun is shining, not too bad when it’s clouded over.
We got the front yard mowed, was a bit of a pain for him though because the grass was still wet.
Congrats Nava on your soon to arrive new nephew.
I loved spoiling my nieces when they were little girls.
Congrats 2Gig on the new house.
I need to get some breakfast, although since it’s almost noon, I should be thinking lunch.
No secrets for me, my life is too boring.
I think I need to dump a whole big bucket of assorted yays, boos hugs and blurfs in here. Nava gets installed on the hugs for impending nephew, but there’s lots, so help yourself as required.
My Big Secret at the moment is that I’m thinking of going back to University next year. I did make a last minute spur of the moment application for this year (through clearing, aka the last course in the shop bucket), but just too late, the course was still listed as available on the website, but when I phoned they said they were actually just about to update it, and all the places had actually gone.
I did go at the standard age, but here you pretty much just pick one subject, and it can be very tough to switch to something else unless it’s closely related, and I totally mis-picked, and dropped out when I realised that I really didn’t want to work in that field.
I was originally planning to take a gap year, decide what I really wanted to do, rather than pick something 'cos Mother insisted I Was Going Whether I Liked It Or Not, but it sort of stretched into a gap decade+…
Anyway, so I’ve decided I want to try and get into the medical field, on the semi-tech side, so radiology or something along those lines. I hopefully should be able to get on a course taught locally, but I’ve got a busy year of trying to volunteer at the local horsepistol to really finalise what I’d like to do (and hopefully get a good and relevant reference), and ideally trying to do some college evening courses (maybe another A level 'cos I failed one) so I’m up to speed.
Luckily I stepped down my hours to only a few days a week, so I should be able to work it round my job for this year… Bit daunting though, and I’m not telling anyone but you lot yet!
{{{Nuts}}} ::tacklehug:: Yay for you and goin’ back to skool! Hope you find sump’n you really like doin’.
Leftover catfish filets, shrimpies, and fried dill pickles made for an ummm… innerestin’ N.O.L. We’ll see what the next two hours hold or don’t hold. Maybe I should attempt nappage until the tummy settles.
He’s stumbled into dotage.
So sad.
:dubious:
I got four pages written this morning so I feel productive. Now I’m going to work on my cross-stitch to keep that feeling going.
Hey Nuts!
Toasted bagel with cream cheese for lunch here.
Trying to get motivated to get more stuff done.
Felicidades, TiaNava!
wet one, I just got a bit more into stamping when a friend gave me her collection of stamps and punches last year after she tired of it. I may hit you up with a question or two every now and then.
rosie, did your schoolmate think she was purchasing your opinion or silence?
Congratulations on your membership in the Summer of 2016 Moving Club, 2gig! (We’re exclusive and everything…we’ve already blackballed rosie )
Welcome back, nuts!
My workload at irk is light today, thank goodness. I’m beginning to feel the inconvenience of having everything packed, like the straw part of my irk coffee mug (and yes, I am limited as to what kind of mug I can take through security). I am so ready for this to be over.
**flytrap **- don’t knock fried pickles till you try 'em. I’m not a big fan of most pickles, but deep fried, they’re yum!!
It’s been a chore of an afternoon - yay for one hour left!!
We just had a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig tboomer roll through. Cloud to ground lightnin’ even. :eek: Fried dill pickles when they are just fried and all hawt and crispy are da bomb. Three days later and nukulated, the most you can say about 'em is “mostly edible.” I have survived N.O.L. with no awful side effects.
Our house was a big secret, so of course it was all I talked about here for months.
Congratulations to Tia Nava and familia for the new acquisition.
Speaking of children, mine turns 14 today. It’s hard to believe the same squalling little ball of humanity I gave birth to is taller than me.
It is so very sad.
So, I arrive at irk at a tad before 5 AM. Convert the excel sheet to a CSV (Comma delimited) file and run the import. Shit did not work but it did overwrite my old database. Dead in the water. Started sending voicemails and emails. Waited until 6 am to call IT dude. No answer. Went outside and cried. Finally around. 630 the ticket manager for the entire world called me for 45 minutes we did this, that and the other. I could here her unloading her dishwasher all the time. I asked her should I clean out my desk or just go jump into the ocean. She assured me old database was. Backed up. Finally she told me to delete three new Columns and re-import. And it WORKED. A couple other little tweaks and right at opening time we were able to operate. I sometimes, well most times, have to learn things the hard way but this was no fault of,mine. Some glitch in those new columns. I cried tears of joy.
Irked until 2 pm on EOM shit and skedaddled. The rest will wait until tomorrow. Front office is keeping list of crap I still need to fix like venue addresses but I can fix that later. It all pays the same, I love my job, repeat. Deep calming breaths and a bunch of beers.
isn’t basically anything deep fried yum?
I dunno, **rosie **- the thought of deep fried candy bars doesn’t do a thing for me. Altho deep fried french toast is pretty amazing.
I got some more embroidery done. Accomplished feeling accomplished. Now I shall goof off the rest of the day.
Except for getting my stuff together for irk tomorrow. DAMMIT.
