I had a blast except dealing with the front desk. We even got to see the Zamboni factory and see Frank Zamboni’s son drive a Zamboni.
Spidey that sucks! Can you go over the head-hunter’s head to complain?
Bumba that sounds scary. Glad everything is ok.
I had believed that I was the only liberal who had a pistol in the nightstand drawer.
Same thought here. If my Dad was still alive ------ he still had some friends and contacts among the Naga. Could be some of them emigrated.
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to work.
Happy Hump Day!
I’m up too early but may as well stay up now.
It’s dark outside, but according to my phone app it’s foggy and 68 degrees.
Spidey, I had a head hunter do that to me once. Very annoying to have to sit in the interview and look at their copy of the resume and tell them what was wrong with it.
Glad you had a good time and made it back safely Doggio.
I’m tired and a bit grumpy, I need to get back into a routine.
Was that when they lived in Dundalk? My sweetie and I were there!! Altho I didn’t know you on the Dope at that time, so I doubt that we met. Small world… 
**Butters **- Louie didn’t like sporting a new look? Go figure…
Speaking of resumes, when I was working a temp gig, the company wanted to use my credentials in a bid for more work, so one of the guys in the business office took it upon himself to rewrite my resume. At least he had the decency to show it to me first, because his tweaking was an outright lie! I had to tell him he couldn’t address that specific item in my resume because it was a classified position and what I’d listed was all that I was permitted to say about that job.
It may or may not be due to him, but that company is about to go tits-up. They had multiple facilities, and I hear they’re now down to 15 employees…
I woke before 3 this morning and couldn’t fall back to sleep. Dammit. It’s gonna be a long day. <yawn> But I’m here, so there’s that. Happy Wednesday!
Glad everything is ok, **Bumba **.
Welcome home, Doggio!
I’m just a sitting here digesting breakfast before I go out for a short run. It will be the inaugural run for both my new shoes and orthotics. Yesterday they sent the video of the finish of my last race. I look so awkward when I run and even at full speed I look like I’m walking. Perhaps I’ll start a thread in IMHO for advice. Or maybe I’ll just quit watching those videos. 
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 74 Amurrkin out and mostly cloudy with a predicted high of 95, mostly N.O.S. and a chance of a tstorm, as usual. Today is geezer discount day at the Pubic Sto’ so I shall go there to lay in provisions. I shall let Stouffers make lasagna for dindin, along with bag sallit, and frozen breadsticks which I shall thoughtfully thaw and bake. I may hit a couple other stores dependin’ on whether or not there are any sales on stuff I can’t live without. Excitatin’ day ahead!
doggio glad the bank account is OK again. I’m sure the extra $250 will go away on its own shortly.
Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then I suppose I should purtify so as to be seen about the public and the Pubic Sto’.
Happy Hump Day Y’all!
Fine then, I’ll just talk to myself. 
I’m back from the Pubic Sto’. None of the other stores had anything I couldn’t live without so I am content with provisions from the Pubic Sto’ and my geezer discount. Maybe a trip to the liberry is in store for today.
Morning all. They went and closed all but one soccer field, which was already booked, so no soccer Tuesday…but probably Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and Saturday.
Welcome home, doggio.
Bumba, glad everyone is OK, but yeah, I’d look into better security. We had a construction worked murdered yesterday near the Publix store I shop at 3 miles away (some escaped juveniles are accused (they’ve been captured). So the threat, which often is minor, is never zero.
And now to forage so I may break fast.
Total blurfage and HAPPY HUMP DAY! 83 with 80% hoomidity. Hopefully stroms tonight. We need the rain. swampy, do you get books at the liberry or just play on the computers?
Complete blurfage. New clerk is here today and I have her set up using my log on. I will create her one in the next couple of days. So far though she is fine. It was a mass exodus as I lost three clerks since August 1. But, none of them are being mourned. The teenager left for collage and I told her she can work on school breaks if she wants to.
Do not be a manager. I am solely responsible to run this joint with or without staff. This too shall pass.
I am unsure if our local Pubic store offers a geezer discount and what constitutes a geezer. I
don’t think I am a geezer yet.
This is something I figured out when I was in the Navy - I suck as a manager. I didn’t like it, I didn’t feel comfortable in the role, and you couldn’t pay me enough to do it - EVAH!!! There’s no shame in being a competent, productive peon.
I won 4 tickets for Blue Crabs baseball on Firday evening! WOOHOO!! We don’t particularly follow the team, but we like baseball and for free tickets, why not? Well, except there is the 50% chance of rain…
Meanwhile, lunch is almost over. Much work has been accomplished, much more awaits. My day is zipping right by! And tomorrow is my Firday, so yay!
Wet One it all depends. If’n there’s sump’n I must read, I will reserve a copy and go pick it up when it’s available or I may just browse to see if there’s sump’n. Other times I mess on the 'puter there just cause.
I am under the impression that the Pubic Sto’ offers a ten percent geezer discount to anyone 62 and older but I could be wrong. Anywho, between the geezer discount and coupons plus in store specials, I can usually get a lot of comestibles for not much moolah.
If I only knew then what I know now…Really, I have a good job even with the commute. I am paid well and the bennies are good plus I have a real office that has a door which I keep closed and I can bring my dog to irk most days. Could be worse.
There’s a lot more liberals out there with guns than most people think. That’s something that the DNC had better get their heads around soon. It’s costing them votes, and possibly elections. (kicks soapbox back under the bed)
MetalMouse better security in our case would be actually locking the doors on our outbuildings, which we haven’t ever bothered with before. I do lock the doors to the house before bedtime. Wifey would leave them unlocked and many times open if left to her own devices. :eek: I’ve tried to impress upon her that just because something has never happened to her before doesn’t mean it can’t ever happen. I’m sure my friend had never been murdered before, until he was. I could tell you stories about friends of mine who have saved their bacon by having a gun readily to hand. (dammit, who keeps dragging that soap box out here?)
Anyways-
I’m not sure what the age limit for geezerhood is at our local Fred Meyer (Kroger) store, but whatever it is, I’m past it. It’s 10% off here too, on Kroger brand or generic (I think) merch. Can’t get any off on Under Armor or Carhartt and such, for instance. I did get a 15% ‘friends and family’ discount on a pair of Nike sneaks (and some other stuffs) last week, however. Us geezers tend to keep an eye on these things.
Our public liberry, A Carnegie library no less, is just down the street from our house. There’s literally 2 houses between it and us. I should go there more often, in my copious free time. I just don’t read as much as I used to. Maybe that’ll change now that I’ve had my cataracts out. We’ll see.
I’ve been a manager a couple of times. It’s like herding cats. Being a manager of an IT dept. like I was is like herding really smart cats. :eek:
Don’t do it.
Gotta go pay some bills now and then fix the door lock on the ‘studio’.
Another damn key to lug around. :dubious: I may have to get myself a manpurse just to carry my keys. :rolleyes:
Got two calls from the Managing Director at headhunter today; first was to understand what happened & to apologize.
Second call, a few mins ago was to tell me that employer is not going with me. With the way I must have sounded (while simultaneously looking around for Rod Serling), I wouldn’t either. :mad: :mad: :mad:
I spent some quality time out at the cee-mint pond. ‘Tis hawt out! Now I am in, showered and enjoyin’ some ice cold diet Kook. Life is good.
Bumba this is just the purse you need. It just screams you!
I am not a geezer yet. That is the best news I heard all day.
