The large quantity of screams heard around 2:20PM EST was my cussing up a storm. I took a fall in the homestead and royally screwed up my back and wrist. The long and short is I’m still going to the cathouse but on twice as many wheels as I had planned.
I have got to either get a hack or a trike; my old age is starting to show. Back in 73 I soaked a cast off a broken leg and went racing. Now a crooked hip has me all wishing for painkillers.
Home at 1245 back at work at 730. barly enough time for a beer and some broccoli.
Spaz ,no Interweb Toobz? :eek:[sup]11[/sup]
Ruble, one of my hockey Peeps has a 3 wheeler. You might remember him, he was the 1 legged man that outran 40 of us to the next tequila bar. Hope you feel better, though.
Well, at least F is moving to a different work area, so will be out of my hair (other end of the building, no overlapping duties/territory). I do feel sorry for the guys who’ll be dealing with him in his “new” area (he’s been there before), but I’m sure they’ll cope and not put up with a lot.
I do find the frequent and long restroom breaks followed by hyper behavior a bit suspicious, discussed with someone I know in his “new” area. I’m assured he’ll be VERY carefully watched.
I’ve also heard he plans to go for security training. (snerk) Uh, yeah, that’s SUCH a good fit for a lazy slacker jerk who shows up pretty much when he feels like it and mouths off to any woman who has any authority over him, plus doesn’t have the best grasp of English at this point.
**kopek **- OUCH!!! Be careful, dammit!! And if you do decide to go for a trike, do NOT get a Can-Am or I will mock you mercilessly! Those are the stupidest-looking things on wheels! I have spoken!!
**Nettie **- how does F stay employed? When I was a gummint employee, I know why people there rarely got fired, but I would think in the real world, it would be easier. In fact, in the gummint, a bad employee typically was moved from job to job, passing the problem on to someone else until a supervisor finally started documenting the slacker and eventually, firing would come. I know personally of exactly one case in my 26 years…
**FCD **is riding his bike to my mom’s for my sister’s party. I’m taking the dog in the car. He’s hoping to get feedback on the new paintjob and I’m hoping to get 200# of clay. So there’s a plan.
We had another cool night and the windows remain open. I’m going to draw the blinds before we leave to minimize the amount of solar heating that can occur in our absence. When we come home tomorrow, I’m sure we’ll have to close up and turn on the air.
Today’s chores include emptying the dishwasher, packing and loading the car, and leaving before noon. When I get to Mom’s, I’ve got 2 big cantaloupes that need to be chunked up for easy eatage. That pretty much sums up my day.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 76 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of ONLY 83 for the day with copious amounts of rain accordin’ to the weather PTB. We shall see. Mowage needs to occur but looks like it might not. Alas and alack!
Nettie yay for gettin’ rid of F. Sounds to me like somebody needs a “random” drug test.
MOOOOOOM y’all have fun partayin’ today!
doggio ick! Here’s hopin’ you have some time off after today.
Ruble ouch! Feel better soonest.
Sunny one of my sis’s many dawgs thinks he’s a lap dawg but he’s definitely not. Does not stop him, however. Diesel will attempt a flyin’ leap into a lap and that hurts! He’s such a big baby, however, ya just can’t get mad at him.
Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. I think today shall be cereal and milk day. Then, well, who knows what will happen. After all 'tis Sattidy!
**doggio **- with 200# of clay, I could make an army of thingies to terrify Gordie! For comparison, a coffee mug takes about a pound of clay. And before anyone says something, I’m talking wet clay. Obviously when it dries, it weighs less.
Taz really likes the cat tower here by the window. It blocks my view, but as long as the cat is happy…
Just saw a new FiberOne commercial, using Rock You Like a Hurricane. When I was delivering papers we had to deliver a sample bar with the papers. That meant I had lots of the bars to bring back home with me. I ate one, just one, only one, no more than one, and that was enough to convince me I never wanted to eat another one. However, hurricane is way too mild a description of what one of those will do in your gut.
So today us laundry day. I have leftover Chinese food from last night so that will be N.O.L. and dinner today, and maybe enough left over for tomorrow too. I got some dumplings for Sah-son but he didn’t like them so I have those leftovers to eat too.
The HFH are starting up their shit again.
I am so not in the mood for it.
Good morning, y’all. It’s [del]spring[/del] summer cleaning at Stately Doors Manor in advance of the arrival of both Bethany on Monday (she should come home to a clean house) and the landlord today. I really don’t like the landlord because, well, he’s an asshole. And the house really should be cleaned anyway because we should also come home to a clean house.
Mowage has been achieved. I started at seven fifteen this mornin’. Lest y’all think that makes me an awful neighbor, one next door neighbor is out of town and the other plus the neighbor behind me were also mowin’ as well as a couple other people in da ‘hood. Mowage tends to be an early mornin’ or late afternoon thing around heah. Anywho, it’s dry out but very muggy and cloudy. It feels rainyish out so I’m sure it’s gonna happen. So, mowage is achieved and da bear is all showered and cleanded up. OYKW says he woke up about eight thirty and “thought I heard a lawn mower.” Kinda hard to disturb him when he’s asleep.
Got a real frawg strangler happenin’ here. Yay! Hope it keeps up all day.
I took some chili out of da freezer this mornin’. We shall dine upon that most elegant of commestibles known as chili cheese dawgs for N.O.L. They shall become combustible shortly thereafter I am sure.
I think if I sit around this house today I will explode but I have things I need to do here. I am so irritated and frustrated with everything going on around me.
Did groceries this morning. Rode a fat cart through Wally*World, but actually walked through the wholesale club that will not be named. That’s some doin’ for me…
My sister is in town. She naturally had to plan this vacation while I was in the horsepistol the first time, and wouldn’t change her plans per my doctor’s requests. I wanted to see her anywhoo… So, plans are to meet her for dinner at Moooooooom’s favorite seafood dive tonight.
It’s basically a job training program, so they do tend to cut people a bit more slack than in the real world while “coaching” them on improving work behavior/skills to levels that would allow them to keep real world jobs.
I agree with our ursine friend that recreational chemicals seem likely, but I’m unsure as to whether they do any drug testing post-hire (I did have to take such a test at hire).
