In your pants!
Nice hair, Haze!
Afternoon, Mumpers!
Great haircut, Haze - no wonder they didn’t recognise you.
I have been a busy Boo this morning, we have a viva event this afternoon for some students from last year’s course who are in line for a prize and the external examiner has come to interview them (along with the module co-ordinator and one of the lecturers). I’ve been organising the room, shifting tables around, sorting out lunch (N.O.L.) and clearing up afterwards.
I’d got a rough idea of how many people were coming for lunch and ordered for a couple of extras so we have lots of leftovers in the office kitchen now. I think I might just be a popular person today - there’s nothing like making a good impression, right?
After the vivas are over, I’ll just need to return the room to it’s normal state and clear up the remains of tea and coffee, get the signed marks sheets from the external examiner and take them up to the Med School office before hometime.
I have found out that Shiny New Boss is a bit of a worrywort and although she did confess to being a dreadful micromanager this morning, she was so busy apologising for it that I almost had to laugh. So far everyone here’s been so nice, there are no signs of psychos anywhere. I’m almost disappointed.
WorryWort even asked me if I minded washing up cups and saucers because some people object to doing that.
In other news, today is my Firday as I’m off to Antwerp tomorrow with 'im indoors for a long weekend. That’ll be beer, chocolates and apple gin then. Bless my liver, for I have sinned…
Blurf, and happy Virtual Firday. I wanna slug tomorrow, but I think VWife will have me painting the bathroom instead.
I never did find the snake. I raked out the debris from around the foundation, flooded the hidey hole with the garden hose until it collapsed, then tamped the entire mole tunnel complex with a 4X4. If I’m lucky i drowned it and/or crushed it’s little haid, but I’m not holding my breath.
My sole reservation about snake hunting is copperheads love to prey on moles, and I got lots of them chewing up my yard.
BioRosie, that’s one heck of a hog trough event you had. Sounds like you had both food groups covered: starch and preservatives.
Half an hour until Quit O’Clock. I’ve been watching the clock like that would make it go faster for something like 5 hours… I do have work to do but I can’t do it until Monday (no access to the proper programs and data, here).

Have lots of fun, BooFae, and return home well.
Just hoping I feel better later today then I do now…
I’m scared. Somebody hold me.
Feel better, Ivory.
Great haircut, Haze! You are gorgeous!
You are too, Kai. I loved your story! More, please. 
Can’t remember anything else! Gah - this getting old stuff is for the birds…
Later, gaterz.
I’ve been gigglin’ for ten minutes! 
Feel better Soapy!
Ok, back to work… I know…
I did not realize there were so many cute Dopers - **Haze ** and Kai, I’m looking at you…
**Kai ** - I also have the shiny highlights. I love them. Before I logged on today I was just talking to my mom about how I am so glad I quit coloring my hair because I have a good disperement of silver that acts like higlights for me.
Laughed my butt off at your post, Vorlon, only because I understand. I (well, ok, my son) was not eligible for the bus because we lived within the 2 mile radius. Except the bus pick up was in front of our house. Yeah, I don’t get it. I don’t have to worry about that anymore, though. Now we all take our kids to a local meet up spot and the bus takes them to a school 30 miles away. So that’s different. Ah, the joys of small town life.
**anyrose ** - I salivated at your list. Damn that sounds good. I had to put on my black jeans to work at the bar the other night and they were tight tight tight (not sexy, more spare tire) so I am on the pickles and gum starvation diet. Your list was like porn for me.
Nice hair, Haze! It’s very elegant, and it frames your face beautifully. Hopefully my new cut will look equally gorgeous… we’ll find out in a few hours. Gulp.
LiLi, the place I was talking about is called Pan Chancho (website here) Unfortunately, it seems like they may have taken the Baa Baa Poutine off their menu. 
You could ask and see if they’re still willing to make it though, since it used to be made with the same lamb stew as the Cumin Spiced Lamb Pita, and they still serve both fries and haloumi with other menu items.

How you doin’?
Mornin’
Hawkeyeop is feeling better this morning than last night, though he’s still not great. He had a dizzy spell and stomach stuff. It was pretty bad. I hope he doesn’t have teh sick.
Kai, you have the prettiest brown eyes!
Keeyoote hair Haze.
Doggio, it seems like you never have good employees.
Lucky you, Swampy.
feel better, Soapy.
PIE, I’m still waiting to hear about water aerobics.
My boss decided yesterday afternoon to take the next two days off. Usually when she’s out, I’m really busy, but not so much today. We’ll see. 6 hours and 47 minutes till quit o’clock.
'Mornin, and it actually is here, 6:34 exactly, and I am flogging the kids in order to get them out of the house and to school.
Thanks for the kind comments, I am blushing and yet have a warm tingly feeling in my…heart! 
It’s good to know that I am in such nice company.
Haze your haircut is darling, and so are you!
I can’t remember what else was written, I am not fully awake. I do have to go in for a root canal this afternoon, so as soon as the kids are off I am hopping back into my still warm bed for a couple of hours to make the waiting time pass. Everyone have a good day, and I’ll be back later.
Ta!
Thanks, Mahna. I will go in and beg. I am prepared to beg.
If they won’t do it I’ll have the pita, fries, and yam frites. Hah!
Morning, all.
Cute haircut, Haze! And you are indeed gorgeous, kai! I envy you your silver highlights; I’ve just got lots of grey. With a couple odd patches of nearly white. Oh well, I gave up coloring my hair, too, just because I was sick of it, so I guess I shouldn’t complain.
The Vorlon has too been here to the MMP before! I remember because I bestowed the nickname (of course) Kosh!
Loved the bear cub story, kai! They’ve been seeing and catching a number of bear cubs in suburban D.C. recently, so clearly the bears have decided they like civilization. (If you can call D.C. civilization. :dubious: )
I know there was more I was going to say, but what it might have been is long gone. Oh well, back to work. Lucky me, today’s my Firday since we’re heading out of town early tomorrow morning. Except I really should have this job done before we leave. Except I don’t see how I can without pulling an all-nighter. Decisions, decisions…
It seems there was some drama here at work last night around 5:30, after I left. A guy I work with went off on another guy for no rational reason. Threatening violence and such for people being too loud, cranked his radio up real loud, dropping the F-bomb all over the place very loudly. It turns out a high muckymuck heard him, too. He’s in the boss’s office with HR right now.
To my knowledge, he’s been written up at least three times for similar behaviour. One time was directed at me (cussing only.) I wonder if he will be getting walked out of here soon…
I’ll have to take on his work, if that’s the case. 
Lunch break. Munchin’ a sammich and cruisin’ around for a bit.
Rebo do let us know what happens. [del]Nosy[/del] Inquirin’ Mumpers wanna know.
All I know so far is that he went home for the day - “to let it sink in.” I have no idea what “it” is. He still works here - I asked! The boss is gonna have a short meeting after lunch.
T. S. Hanna has formed, and appears to be headed for the east coast north of Florida, at the moment. Two more lows appear to be headed for depression status.
Could be an interesting week for Cottonfield County first responders after Labor Day.
