The gingergold apples I got at the farmer’s market are mushy and bland. 
I guess I’ll be going back down there tomorrow for another bag of cameos. I would go today but it’s school-lettin’-out-time and rush hour is about to start and there’s no way in *hell *I’m crossing the Death Bridge in that kind of traffic.
Good plan.
Hi, honeys, I’m home!!! And fed - I walked right in the door and started supper. Guess that’ll be my life from now on.
So far, so good. I met a gazillion coworkers and promptly forgot all their names, except for the one guy who was starting with me (a real geezer - he’s 69 years old! And there I was worrying about being over 60…
I like my boss. I got papers and pencils and a CAC and stuff to read. With luck, our computer accounts will be set up in less than 2 weeks, but I don’t hold out much hope for that.
I’m going to ask if I can sit with one of the guys who check all the drawings and look over his shoulder for a few hours and pick his brain. And this Firday is my day off, so I’m starting with a short week.
I think I’m gonna like my job. 
Short and sweet - I’m gonna join my sweetie in front of the TV.
MWAH!
Well, I only lasted one day at my new job. I’d never before had a job where I had to be on my feet all day, and I just couldn’t do it. Call me a wussy or princess or baby or weakling or whatever, but I found standing all day to hurt my legs and feet too much.
Darn, now that I know I can’t stand up fora whole day, there are a lot of jobs closed to me. And I feel like such a quitter for giving up on this job already, but I know I couldn’t’ve continued.
I’ll continue looking for work tomorrow.
To the best of my knowledge, the only major religion pretty much founded here and popularized by a used car salesman from the North Side of Pittsburgh.
Don’t feel bad; we’ve had folks who didn’t make it 2 hours to the first break let alone a whole day – and for us a day is just 5 hours. Being on your feet solid for hours on end is actually something of a skill and one not that many people have anymore. I’ve seen athletes and even runners crash at the sort center – so you aren’t a wussy or anything strange. If anything I’m strange for actually liking things like that.
Howdy Y’all! Da bear is now in da cave for good. Ok, for the rest of the evenin’. Irk lived up to its name which is expected I guess. Men’s night over to the church house was great as always. We had a feast tonight. In addition to the usual sallit, snausages, baked N.O.T. and steaks or whatever, we had 'shrooms sauteed in wine, grilled peppers and onions, and brownies! We feasted! Plus also, we got to ooh and ahhh and drive our brand new mower! That’s what she looks like. Ain’t she purty!
I read but retention is low so yays, boos, hugs, noogies, wedgies, smooches, trouts, chitlins, woohoos, awwwwws, all around as needed.
Nite Y’all!
For shame, swampy. Doing shrooms at the church house. It’s a wag of the finger for you!
Cat, they are Whiskeypalians.
Were you gone?
Worked, came home. Made hatch chillie tortilla crusted chicken fillets with refried beans. I’m off tomorrow.
Keep a pile of these by the door, and offer to exchange pamphlets.
Congrats on the job, Mooommmmmm!
Sorry it didn’t work out, Midget.
: smack Flytrap with a catfish :
**swampy **- why does a mower need a roll bar? What kind of landscapers are at your church?!?!?
Good morning! My bladder woke me at 4, then Higgs started fussing, so I thought I might sneak in some surfing before work. I slept quite well, if for barely 7 hours - at least it was uninterrupted, so there’s that.
When I hear **FCD **get up, I’ll feed Higgs, then get our lunches dumped in bags, brush my toofies, dress, and head out. I need to stop at the main office again to show them my passport (I forgot it yesterday) to prove I’m 'murrican. It kills me that a birth certificate is also acceptable proof - how can anyone know that it’s truly my birth certificate? Gummint is funny.
Anyways, Happy Tuesday!
My nose is feeling better, that was some really magical chicken soup!
big ol’ blurf
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up, caffeinated, purtified, so no YAWN ‘Tis <snerk> 69! <snerk> Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 84 for the day and rain later this mornin’ and into the afternoon. Looks like rain is comin’ this way here.
I am takin’ an irk from da cave day. I have a bunch of paperirk I need to scan and send to TPTB plus a lot of case notes etc to catch up on, so my boss agreed I could irk at home today. Thus, the reason for the lateness of my post. I have actually been irkin’ for a while and now takin’ a little break.
OK, reckon I should get back to stuff.
Happy Tuesday Y’all!
Up, caffeinated ,off today. I shall get my oil changed, and go to the Feed store for some Gordie food.
It’s so nobody gets hurt when the do lawnmower jousting with the Methodists up the street.;)
Always with the treif. :dubious:
Recharging my phone now, so I can have it charged in case people call with job interview offers in the future.
I have to practice my instruments today.
How about bacon wrapped lobster in cream sauce?
