Upset at the passing of Harold Ramis, on whom iIhad a huge school girl crush. Egon, gone too soon!
I got an IM on Facebook from someone in Australia who apparently likes my school girl picture (something is wrong with that I think!), and wants to communicate with me via email. Okay, what else is wrong with this picture? Does this person troll (lol) through Facebook looking for gals? How can you possibly want to meet someone via email, when you live halfway around the world from them? Is this some new scam method? WTF??!!
Was there someone else who got something similar recently on Facebook?
I remembered when I woke up that I’m supposed to go to training today. I also remembered that I forgot to ask my boss where this training is being held. I’ll text him in about half an hour - he should be up by then. I’m not driving all the way to the office because I’m pretty sure the training is way closer to me, and since the truck sucks a lot of gas, ain’t no way I’m burning it up for nothing.
I think I may have woken Higgs this morning - my bladder demanded emptying about 4, and seconds later, I heard the scratching and whining, so I let her out. Amazingly, she came back in, snuggled next to me in bed, and went back to sleep… at least she did till Taz came in. But I was awake, thinking about this stoopit training. On the other hand, when it’s done, I think I’ll just come back home - no sense in driving to the boonies for just 2 hours, right?
We used to play Ghostbusters at recess since it came out the year before I started kindergarten. While I didn’t have a crush on Egon, he was always my favorite in both the movie and cartoon versions.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 47 Amurrkin with a predicted high of 77 and sunny. Tomorrow the high will be 51 with rain. Guess what! Tomorrow mornin’ I have to venture down to the south forty. So, of course, cold and wet and miserable weather.
Apes hope the Apelet is much better today, poor baby! MMMMMMMMMM… fish fry! Oh like y’all didn’t think I would!
Rosie cool new ride!
Ok, I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants sustenance. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence. Le sigh.
Apparently the cell number I have for my boss is wrong. Bummer. I tried calling the office, but no one’s there yet - no surprise, since I’m usually first by a good bit. I’ll call a little later and find out where I need to be going. Wish I’d remembered to ask yesterday. Stoopit forgetful brain!
Good grief - I can’t get a simple straight answer from Psycho Bitch. :rolleyes: I called to ask her where the training is being held. She told me I didn’t RSVP so I can’t go. On Friday, our IT person asked me if I was going to attend and I told her I was, so yes, I RSVP’d. I just forgot to ask where it’s held - I know it’s in the California office, but there are several buildings and I’d like to go to the correct one.
Anyway, Psycho Bitch told me I had to call the boss. I did. He didn’t answer - I’m wondering if his phone is out of order? Shortly, I’ll try calling the next boss up the line - I’m not sure when she gets to work, but I hope it’s around 7.
Not looking to be a good day so far. I have been at work for a total of 7 minutes and already managed to get ketchup on myself and my email is acting all wonky. I need to get my house all tidyied up for the parents who are coming in on Friday morning on their way home from Florida and I have no motivation and the house is a disaster area.
It’s 31 degrees outside and snowing, or maybe flurrying is a better word.
Today is pizza day, laundry day, and I have no clue what I am going to do today day.
The mortgage company says I need to find out how much the repairs will cost before I make an offer, HamePath says first I make an offer and then find out the costs.
The problem, if I overestimate the mortgage company won’t approve and if I underestimate I may not have enough money. I need to get a contractor out there today and I’ve called half a dozen and the only one who called me back only does roofs (or is it rooves?).
The inspector can meet me tomorrow, will cost $375 and can tell me what work needs to be done, but he can’t write the estimate as the contractor because that is a conflict of interest.
The mortgage company wants to see an estimate by the contractor who is actually going to do the work, not an estimate from the inspector.
All this has to be done by Thursday because then the property becomes available for investors who tend to jump on these things like stink on shit.
It doesn’t help that I live 90 minutes away from Hagerstown. It’s not like a 5 minute drive to the other side of town.
I wish my uncle or ex-bil were still in the business but they are both retired.
One a good note, last night I got the dreaded blue-screen-of-death and fixed it myself this morning.
I tried multiple times last night and thought for sure I’d be paying for a repair, but no, I found some good instructions online using my tablet and got it done.
Congrats Rosie on the new car. Swampy, when I was growing up Firday night was clean out the fridge night and it was a family favorite, except when everybody wanted the leftover spaghetti. Then my parents got a microwave and the leftovers never made it until Firday.
Afternoon, mumpers! Life in the probation service is not much fun…yesterday we got sent home early because some numptie cut a very important bit of cable and none of the network stuff would connect. This morning the engineer was on site at 9.30am, left at 10am and said it wasn’t going to be fixed all day. The other temp and I were sent home at 11am - not bad, bonus time off is always good but since I’m on an hourly rate, it means I will only get paid for 2hrs today instead of the expected 7.5hrs. And I’m already enough of a pauper, thank you very much.
Nice new wheels, rosie, I hope you get many happy miles out of your new ride!
So, I am home early, I have nothing to do for a couple of hours, thus I shall treat myself to a nice long soaky bath before I go out later.
Offer paperwork signed and sent. I have two weeks to get my house listed or I’m in violation of something-or-other. I’m okay with that. Even if the house isn’t ready-ready, we can still submit it for listings and update the listing every time we fix something. I think it’s the selling that’s going to drive me bonkers. The buying seems to be going pretty well so far. knock on wood
