Legions of demonic swampys. I’ll be hiding beyond the couch, in case of wire hanger attacks.
Got focaccia, potato white dough and a sort of basic brioche rising. Soon I will clean the kitchen, and reorganize the fridge. I’m hoping that I can use up a lot of the herbs I bought, and therefore get rid of them. The chicken and dumplings were yummy, and Mr-Lissar-approved. We’ve got lots of fallback food in the freezer, in case of Driving Husband, and over culinary emergencies.
Time to hang around waiting for the dough to proof. I cleaned out the bottom of the stove, and in a few minutes (since my maid is not only invisible, but lazy) I have to wash a lot of dishes. Attacks Husband assures me that she’s real. I have doubts.
Swampy, ask the dummies if they are willing to have part of their pay used to pay for the extra bookkeeping to pay them weekly. That should shut them up.
Hammered cheese sandwich indeed!
Tonight is the booster club meeting. I’m not expecting any knives in the back tonight. I have to go mail a book for PaperBackSwap.com, and pick up some money from a friend to pay her Meet & Greet dinner.
Well, I’m off work tomorrow and Friday, will be back on Monday and open the MMP.
Dunnow if I’ll have anything interesting to talk about (no zoos around here) but well, this is MPSIMS, yes?
I’d say don’t get in trouble while I’m away but better yet: if you get in trouble, choose a kind that doesn’t hurt and report it here, inquiring noses want to know
I’m a Health Systems Analyst in the Managed Care Division for a regional army medical command. I crunch numbers using various types of databases and data mining tools, create reports, provide analyses on certain trends, and help various folks in my division with any data problems. My job is constantly changing and has moving targets regarding performance expections and projects.
My Target entrance fee was $25.03 last night, not counting the pumpkin spice latte I bought at Starbucks. Am I the only one that thinks that Target should have cupholders in their carts? Safeway does. :sulks: Life must be pretty good if all I have to complain about is the lack of cupholders in shopping carts.
I’ve been filling up my white elephant box with assorted junk. I have all sorts of goodies in there! I am debating whether or not to put some books in there. Those will make it pretty heavy, though.
By title I’m the AA but more accurately the office manager for a local branch of a nfp. I…couldn’t tell you easily what I do. Basically, I:
Maintain all data
Assist the fundraisers
Keep the office presentable
Order supplies
Submit bills for payment
Answer phones, of which a significant percentage are bereft mothers
help fundraise occasionally
Prepare for events, including packing
handle all incoming money
execute the registration and payment side of events
normal secretarial work
do all shipping
Ok, I’ll quit now…there’s so much more, but even I got tired of typing it.
I’m an electrical engineer who writes embedded software as a contractor to the Coast Guard. My subspecialty is automation, and I basically put lighhouse tenders out of business.
Before that, I worked for NASA, running the software development for a robotic airplane project.
That’s cool. One of my friends from college is an electrical engineer working for a company that does government contract work, I think with air force stuff. Something about communications. That’s about all I know. I may have an engineering degree, but I know nothing about electrical. (Or mechancial, which is what **KeithT ** does. So when he tries to tell me about his work I’m just kinda like :dubious: Thermal and fluids? Yeah, that wasn’t required in my department.)
I staff a Manager Service Center desk at a Big 4 accounting firm. It’s an AA-type role that is reserved for AAs who need a lot of flexibility in their schedule. I mostly plan meetings and work on projects that need to be completed “sometime.” Yes, I have a job composed almost entirely of busy work. It’s not great, but the commute is short, the pay is decent, the benefits are great, and I like my co-workers (except for AC.)
[del]I am Elmer J. Fudd, millionaire, I own a mansion and a yacht.[/del]. I am an assistant manager at Dollar Tree. I tell people everything is a dollar. :smack:
I took Maggie Wonderbeagle to the vet for her quarterly ear infection, then went to the dog park. There was a lot of humping action today, but it was all boy on boy. Poor Maggie, what’s a girl to do?
Gah. I thought I replied, but apparently I didn’t. I had an eloquent post about how I suggested to my boss that I work afternoons until my bum heals, so I can do all of my own work and nobody has to cover me. And I probably complained a little about how I’m busy and can’t catch up to the MMP, and how waking up at 9 but not having to go to work till 1 is rather annoying.
Great idea, taxi! I am a public relations coordinator for Florida’s largest full-service advertising, marketing, and public relations firm, specializing in travel and tourism. That means I get to do fun stuff like send out press releases and make sure press kits get produced and distributed. Sometimes it’s fun, like when we opened Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede and Al Roker came in and shot six live segments for Today. Most of it is grunt work.
Hey, taters, what type of analysis software do you use? Just wondering if it’s the same as our research department uses.
bobbio, if you specialize in automation, does that mean maddie and loki are robots??? :eek:
Oh, me? I sell people books, and make fun of them if they buy bad books. Well, not to their faces, generally. Behind their backs. Mostly I housewife, which is definitely a verb. So at work I do cash, receiving, shelving, lifiting heavy objects, and bring in treats. At home I do everything except once a week or so Mr. Lissar does the cat litter.
I decided to roll out some marzipan and put it in the chocolate breadsticks. I have marzipan, therefore I ought to use it.
Hi, my name is Spatial Rift 47, and I’m a professional student.
No seriously - they pay me to learn stuff. No, I don’t believe it either. And get this: I have health benefits too. They drastically subsidize the cost of their own health plan. And I don’t have to deal with mopheads or billing or wire hangers or anything.
I distinctly remember saying while in college the first time around that I’d put a microprocessor on my dog if I could figure out a way to make money by doing it…
