Ho Ho Ho - The Christmas MMP

Taters I expect you to be mournful all day Tuesday. After all, young lady, that’s why you’re off. At the very minimum you should wear a black sweatshirt.

Speaking of mournfulness (it’s a word), I was watching President Ford’s umm… arrival at the church a little bit ago. The brass band played O God Our Help In Ages Past and it sounded so pretty yet mournful.

Steaks, baked N.O.T. and salad for supper tonight. YUM! Perhaps a soak in the hot tub accompanied by a cold beerverage or three is also in order. I got more “welcoming” to take care of tonight. :smiley:

Ya know-all this technology.Bah. I’ve been trying to send audio files via email for the past two hours-I have no idea if they got to where they’re supposed to.

Watched HELP with #2 son. His take on it? Very silly and funny.

Off to UNdecorate a bit. Or maybe a nap…

Yeah? Each of my databases have 86,000 records with 30 something fields. No lie. First I have to do a FTP transfer, then I need to name the damn fields, then I need to break out by healthcare delivery code, then I need to do some outer joins so I can check who’s been disenrolled or who, um…well…died. Not fun.

Blech…I’m not very far, because, well, I don’t feel like doing it. So, I’m doing other piddly stuff. This is not productive, but some stuff is getting done.

I have been told I can home 59 minutes early today. Three freakin’ thirty can’t get here soon enough!

swampy, I will be respectfully mournful on Tuesday. You know, I was all of about eleven or twelve when he was our Prez.

back home busy weekend missing pronouns. It was a very slow day today, I hope we don’t have to cut hours on Saturday. NYE I will be watching the Canes crush the Flyers, then stay for the party afterwards. It will be a nice change from going to bed 30 seconds after the ball drops.

rigs, When it snows, I am the only one at work. Dollar tree really needs those $30.34 in sales. :dubious:

MBG, you need a new spell checker. It keeps changing “Packers crush the Bears(N.O.S.)” :slight_smile:

Time for more hockey, it’s Duck season!

Yeah mopheads! Boo PITA traffic!

Drae, that sounds fun, too bad I am eight hours away.

**Taters ** - I hope you’re using Access and the bump feature - it goes much faster.
Unfortunately, my db’s have to be viewed manually because Access overwrites duplicates without alerting you to their existance

Yep, I have to use Access. Excel will only give me 65,000 lines.

What is the “bump” you speak of?

If you have 2 db’s, you can compare one to the other and hit a function key and access will do all the work - but I have no clue how to do that - the supervisors handle that stuff

Hmmm, perhaps they’ve got a macro set up that does an automatic outer join? I dunno, I muddle through and have learned a lot lately. It’s been a couple few months since I’ve done this though. So, I need to make sure the fields I’m comparing are named appropriately.

If if it’s all set up correctly, it should automatically do it for me. However, I have to do a bunch of scut work before I can do that. Ah well, if that’s what the boss wants me to do, then that’s what I’ll do.

This day is d-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-ging
a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-ss.

If I could ever get him online, Taters, Papa Tigs could probably how to tell you how to do all that. But he truly doesn’t “get” forums. For a guy who helped build the internet, he’s remarkably resistant to its more recent features – forums, blogs, anything beyond email or looking stuff up/ordering stuff off web pages.

At least he’s not a total Luddite like my former boss’s boyfriend is. He’s working for the same firm I work for now, and to my shock he not only refuses to have a cell phone or a computer, but he won’t even have a cordless telephone in his house! And he’s so proud of being called a Luddite. It’s hilarious that he’s dating a woman who lives by her BlackBerry, computer, etc. – she and I used to sit ten feet apart but almost never actually talk out loud, we’d just email back and forth.

People are strange.

I was sadly disappointed in this movie, but like a dummy, instead of renting it first, I bought it. So I’m stuck with it. :frowning: Maybe the non-movie tracks will be worth the price?

MamaTigs, no prob. And you’re both welcome to come by and check out my studio any time, with sufficient warning, assuming we’re not doing anything else… Did I include enough disclaimers?

I had a nice mid-day visit with **GingeroftheNorth ** and BibKitty, enroute to picking up Bernie. It made up for Clayworks Supply being closed today. So I guess I’ll hafta buy my stuff next weekend. In fact, since I’m now free on Saturday, I think I’ll pick up my pots, go to Clayworks, then take my mom to lunch for her birthday one day early. So that’s that.

Yay!

New Girl and I had a pleasant lunch out. Lunch came to $64, but between the 2 of us, we only had to put down $10 Amurkin. The maitre’d told me I had VIP status (I always use OpenTable to book restaurant reservations). No wonder everyone wants me to book their tables for them! I’ve been using OpenTable since it was a wee thing, with a handful of restaurants around the San Francisco Bay.

New Girl is concerned, because when she started, she was sure she was a take-charge, intelligent, organized admin, and now, not so much. I didn’t know what to tell her. After all, I have this on my desk. And one of these, too, for 2007.

Jah I lurve despair.com. That is so cool you have those! That cracks me up! :smiley:

Taters you, you, you, whippersnapper! I grad-yoo-a-ted from college in 1976. Yep. I is a bicentennial kolledge gra-joo-et! I have a letter from President Ford congratuating me for being a member of the bicentennial grad-yoo-a-tion class of 1976. OG! I am soooooo old!

The only comfort I get is knowing that I am six months and six days younger that that old broad FCM*

But she’ll get to pick out her room at the home first, so she does have that

We both got Tues off also - and I was so looking forward to going back…
OK, maybe not…

That may be, but let’s see who has more gray hair. :dubious: Who looks like an old fart?

I rest my case! :stuck_out_tongue:

Well sure, spokesperson for Lady Clairol… :stuck_out_tongue:

Pfffft - do you really think I’d pick *this * color if I was coloring my hair? Darlin’, it is what it is. How gay can you possibly be if you can’t recognize non-dyed hair! sheesh… :stuck_out_tongue:

I never claimed you had taste. :stuck_out_tongue:

Has anyone ever told you you’re insufferable when you get some??

What’s yer point? :stuck_out_tongue:

Speaking of gettin’ some, time for a hot tub soak and beddy bye. Nite Y’all! :smiley:
