taking a break at work.
RIP Squishy Fush. And {{{}}}} to you and the kid.
Sounds like the oddest Christmas dinner since I did Cajun Cornish hen with red beans and rice and lime corn. 
Could be worse. Instead if a shower, you could had to lick 'em clean like the beasts do. 
More idiocy of the day to report.
There I was, comfy and firmly ensconced taking my after irk nap, when the phone rang. It was an HR recruiter from the 'Bammy branch of [del]The Hellhole[/del]my former employer, wanting to set up a phone interview for a position I applied for a year ago at the Huntsville orifice. :rolleyes:
Where were you SOBs when I wanted out of my job, but was still willing to be a loyal company dude? I’m going to take the call, mostly for the entertainment value. The new gig is growing on me, so I’m not so willing to walk out on them.
Thou don’t sit in the car in front of the bank with the engine runnin’ while a friend makes a ‘withdrawal’. :eek:
Nettie, you need a three-sided coin!
What are you referring to when you talk about barbecoa? My googlefu is finding both a drink & an entree.
If they ask for five bucks then you know you’re dealing with the Homestarmy.
I should probably think about going to bed soon. I need a regular sleep schedule or I get all wonky in the middle of the day.
doggio, that’s what you get when a bunch of HoobillyTM Poles and a Mexican boyfriend grt together for the holidays. 
spidey his barbecoa is of the main dish variety. We don’t get much fancier than beer or whiskey for drinks. 
A disease invented by an eighteenth century quack to sell his snake oil. It is referred to by Patrick O’Brien in novels of which Master and Commander and The Far Side of the World are part.
I had to cut Rocky the Southern Flying Squirrel away from Mrs. Plant’s (v.3.0) shirt. He is very irritable tonight.
She didn’t even get upset. She first asked if she could keep the body in her room in a box and when I said no, she said we could have a short funeral service in the bathroom. We said what we would miss about Squishy, my son played drums on his toy bongos, and then DD flushed the fish.
I have weird kids:dubious::rolleyes:
Night, y’all.
Goodnight Daddy, Goodnight Elizabeth, Goodnight John Boy, Goodnight Jim Bob, Goodnight Grampa, Goodnight Erin, Goodnight Jason,
Up, caffeinated. off to work.
Today is chimney cleaning day!!! And all I have to do is write a check! Then I get to go grocery shopping in the CAR!! **FCD **drove his bike to work.
That pretty much sums it up.
Happy Thursday!!!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up, purtified, and caffeinated, so no YAWN ‘Tis 70 Amurrkin out and way less humid than usual with a predicted high of 93 for the day. We’re goin’ to have a <snerk> Quickie! <snerk> for brekkie this mornin’. After that I shall head down to the southwest forty for irk. That should take up most of the irkday for me. Rah.
I hear rumblin’s from the bedroom which indicate that OYKW has finished purtification so I reckon we’ll be headin’ out shortly. Good, cause I’s hongry!
Happy Thursday Y’all!

Blurf.
I am at irk, it is still as irksome as yesterday for all the same reasons. My co-irker who is meant to be doing timetabling is abdicating all responsibility for it so I am doing it instead. When I am back from my hollibobs, I’ll be having a meeting with my line manager and telling her I’ll take timetabling from him but he has to have the departmental meetings in return because I would really like to get out of minuting those. Seems a fair exchange to me!
Today is A-level results day when our prospective students get their exam results and find out if they have got good enough grades to come and study with us in September. We have a clearing process where those who haven’t got the grades they wanted can try to find places in different universities and on different courses but we don’t have any clearing places for our department. Some of the others do, but we are officially full 
Apes, sorry to hear about Squishy Fish. An ex-b/f had a goldfish known as Judge Fish which eventually died. He waited for me to come round and dispose of the body because he didn’t want to.
Sari - I often turn down invites to stuff and just tell people I’m shampooing the cat.
Question of the day: who do you call when you wreck the fire truck **and **the ambulance?

I had a great morning thanks to a up and ready husband 
No blurfing here, hehe
A happy dance day for lawyers?
Hope everyone is OK. Chances of that happening are…well, at least one time. Article said that both vehicels were from the same firehouse…could make for some awkward conversations.
Otherwise, a blurfy Thursday. At least my kidneys let me sleep to 5am today; they had been on a 3:30am setting most of the week.
I’ve got a load of towels in the washer, and a load of shorts-n-t-shirts to go next. Chimney guy should be here between 10 and noon. I’ll need to catch and lock up Taz in the bedroom to keep him from trying to escape. Not sure what I’ll do with Higgs, since I don’t know how much time the guy will have to be inside.
That pretty much sums up my morning.
Not the first time, that’s for sure. When the emergency vehicle approaches the intersection, sees everyone pulling over / getting out of the way, they assume it’s for them alone.
