I see the punchline is already posted but:
And the obligatory Monty Python link:
Today was pretty slow, too, but I did get more payments (I work in an inbound call center handling collections. So far, 95%+ of callers have been at least civil to me, and in a lot of cases quite cordial). No irate wackos that needed supervisor participation, so that’s an improvement over yesterday.
Also got 100% on a call monitor. 
I’m not normally squeamish, but I would have to say that using a porta-potty at a light rail station in a very dubious part of town is pretty high on my “most disgusting experiences” list. It takes being VERY desperate to go near that thing, IMO. Problem is that I was today, since the alternative was an hour-plus none-too-smooth ride with a full bladder. Hit the shower as soon as I got home, the clothes I was wearing are now in the washer. I think some of the stench clung. (Where’s a “barf” smiley when we need it?)
Or you could use molten aluminum.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 75 Amurrkin out and foggy with a predicted high of 90 and rain/tstorms/apocalypse this afternoon and evenin’. Today’s big plans call for the assemblage of chikin sallit and laundry. Retired life is just fraught with excitatement.
Dindin will be sammiches as I got some deli stuff at the sto’ yestiddy.
OK that’s all I got for now. I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy demands to be fed. I suppose I should purtify a bit as well. One should look presentable even if’n one has no intentions of venturin’ out.
Happy Thursday Y’all!
Just call me Blurfy McBlurface today. I’ve been perpetually sleepy for two days, now
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Back to work for me today.
This has been a gawd-awful long day already. We got up at 4:40 and arrived at the hospital just before 6. My sweetie was taken to pre-op about 6:30 and I was called back just before 7. We saw the doctor and the anesthesiologist and finally the same Russian nurse from the last 2 surgicals.
Anyway, he’s in surgery now and I west to McDonald’s for a quickie breakfast. I don’t expect to hear from the doctor for 3 hours or so. We shall see how long this battery lasts. I think I need a muffin.
I’ll let you know when he’s out…
I hope all goes well for FCD today and that this will be the last surgery for a while.
On the one hand, I’m starting to regret taking this job. On the other, the union contract is about to be voted on by the membership and it comes with some seriously sweet raises.
Blurf.
metal mouse, wire ties should work. BTW, it’s sunny who is selling the house. I’m just moving apartments.
As soon as I shower and purtify, I will go vote (our state primaries are today. Why we don’t just roll them into the federal ones, I don’t know. ), which means that I will be voting for some school board members in a place where I won’t be living after tomorrow in order to vote for two people who are also in my new district. I did something like this with the federal general election in 2004. Then it’s off to the new town to do the walk through of the new apartment. Packing everything left but the toothbrush and a towel will follow.

If the CIA isn’t allowed to waterboard because it’s considered torture what makes you think you can do something orders of magnitude more horrific?

Happy Thorsday!
Not really happy, I was up half the night again and now I feel like hell.
I have to leave to get groceries soon, so nap time will have to wait.
It’s a sunny 74 degrees out, so it won’t be so hot today.
Sometime today I have to clear all these boxes out of the living room. I’ve been shopping on Amazon again.
I hope** FCD** does well today. His surgery day kind of sneaked up on me, I thought it was next week.
Rio If I wasn’t afraid of molten aluminum, I’d love to make some of those.
I have been productive. I have made chikin sallit, cleanded up the kitchen, messed around on facebook, and made a trip to the baby :eek: WallyWorld :eek: for a few provisions. The thing about the baby :eek: WW :eek: is that the self checkout there is so easy to use. Plus it’s easy to get to, get in and get of there from da cave.
MOOOOOOM hope everything is goin’ ok with FCD.
¡Felicidades, Tia!
My best wishes for FCD.
Still waiting…
MOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM Here’s hoping FCD has a successful surgery and is not in any pain. Also hope it will be the last one.
Blurf At irk but not getting much accomplished. Today must be inspection day as I had the Fire Dept at my auditorium building, the Medical folks at my Gym and then the Military Working Dogs did a drill in my building. The handlers come in and hide contraband then bring in the dog to find it… Her name was Doly and she did good. Of course, with Lucky Louie in my office they skipped that room even though I offered to take him outside if they needed to use my room.
I am out of here at 1500 today and still have comp time for the pay period. So, I foresee a short day tomorrow too. I would take the entire day but tomorrow is payroll day and my folks like to get paid.
Finally talked to the doctor a few minutes ago. All went well and he didn’t have to cut as big an incision. With luck,I should get to see him in a couple of hours. Meanwhile, I may go get lunch.

sending hugs for FCD and Mooooom
So if you bring LL with you to irk, you could also bring contraband?
Methinks he needs a backpack.
