Well actually, my assistant manager’s kids have fevers, so I end up working a double today. But that meas I get three days off, with a short day on Thursday. So I got that going for me. Hijack away!
Shame on you, infecting your asst manager’s kids just to get some time off!!! I am aghast!!! :eek:
Third bad night in a row - I think maybe the caffeine I had after lunch might have had a little to do with it. Or not. No matter - I’m barely functional this morning. Still, it beats a sharp stick in the eye, so there’s that.
If I survive the day, I plan to mow the back yard when I get home. Beyond that, just another day in paradise.
Happy Moanday!!
**Spidey **- in response to your question in the last MMP - I’m shooting to start 2-ish, planning for the ribs to come out of the smoker around 3. Beyond that, no definite plans…
**doggio **- our front porch is covered, so you’ll have that going for you!
I made beans this weekend. And my blind roommate just joined the SBMB. Correlate these two bits of information as you will.
I haven’t slept yet, but mainly because I slept from about 2 until 6 yesterday afternoon. Plus I was sick last week, and I still have residual effects in my ears. The sharp stick that isn’t poking Fairy Chat Mom is poking me in the eardrum. Repeatedly. There is a rythm to this pain, one could dance to it. (But not me, my ear hurts too much to dance)
Have a groovy week.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’! YAWN ‘Tis 63 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 83 for the day and maybe tstorms this afternoon. Or not. Temps are climbin’ this week. Supposed to be low 90s by Firday!
I slept good last night. I woke up once to pee but still pretty much slept from eight-thirty last night until about five-thirty this mornin’. I shall begin my irkday by goin’ to two of my newly inherited counties. I shall leave from da cave because I am closer to the first place I need to go than I would be at the orifice. So I do get to slack a little bit before headin’ out.
OK, that’s all I got. I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy demands sustenance. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence.
Happy Moanday Y’all!
First thread, in The Pit: Roomie, could you stand downwind, I’m blind, not smellless!:D;)
Welcome! And hope the ears feel better soonest.
Morning, mumpers! I am having a right moanday today, I had to tell one of my minions this morning that she’s getting referred to our occupational health section because of her various health problems and she wasn’t happy about it. Then we had a deluge of emails from the exams office wanting changes to papers we’ve already submitted and my personal minion (who is doing my job while I’m on secondment) is off sick so I’m having to do the paper changes. All this, and I haven’t even started on my own list of stuff yet.
Get well soon, sickies!
Have her hop on over here, I want to be able to call her Sugar 
Blurf.
Happy Moonday!
I’m sorry that for so many of you that Moonday is Moanday. Moonday is my easiest day of the week.
It’s a sunny 50 degrees outside, supposed to get up to 79. Tomorrow is supposed to reach 80, then the temps drop back down to the 50s and 60s.
FCM I’m sorry I haven’t RSVP’d yet, I’m having a hard enough time seeing 2 days ahead let alone several weeks ahead.
Next Toosday is the last day of school, that will lead to some sense of normalcy around here.
Irk is irksome in that we are really busy and they want more time, and while I hate to lose out on the opportunity to make more money while it lasts, I do have other things that need to be done.
The cat (still unnamed) goes to the vet tomorrow. He’s still in hiding, the wuss.
The lawn gets mowed today.
The dog is mostly better. He’s still a little slow moving, and doesn’t always make it to the door in time.
I need to do some laundry today, and maybe a little outdoor stuff. There is a lot of outdoor stuff that needs to be done. Once school is over, then it’s my time to put him to work.
blurf + 3 hours
I’m so glad the Board is working again this morning. I missed it so!
Moanday…the last moanday of my (planned) working life (you aren’t tired of hearing about my impending retirement yet? Well, let me tell you…)
Not sick, but I do have one of those ‘deep’ coughs that seem to start from some hidden chamber buried, like an Egyptian Pharaoh, deep in my chest, but they are relatively mild and more like an urbane Englishman clearning his throat than a racking coughing fit (I’ve had enough of those).
Goal for this week is to clear post, I even have a button that I plan to wear (“Initiating ‘Getting the hell out of here’ maneuver”) while visiting all the locations.
Thinking about going to Moooommms party (it’s the 14th, right?) Only trouble is that it’s a 750 mile drive, and to fly up there and get a hotel room and rental car will be about $500…on the other hand, I’ll be retired so I can go as I damn well please and the budget for the next two months looks healthy, so…I’ll decide tomorrow (procrastination is my middle name…actually it’s John, but cool it, I’m rolling…)
And off to work we go.
Good morning. Not much new to report. Restful weekend was enjoyed.
Work is ramping up; we’ve lost 40% of our photo staff in the last two months through normal but surprising attrition so there’s lots to do and no-one to do it. Hence very busy.
Those slots will be filled again but it takes time.

That was pretty evil of you.
Er, how did you manage it? I have a little list.
House/auto insurance. I just sent in an email to the head of the insurance office or whatever it is called.
I told him of the ridiculous customer service I had been receiving.
Its Monday morning, hopefully there will be a little shake up (earthquake wise) and those two agents shall wake up!
so anyway, just received email back, short and sounds like little will be done but who knows, what’s that saying from Teddy Roosevelt…speak softly and carry a big stick! Maybe it wasnt Teddy?
Always a crappy Monday morning in most aspects but the husband does go back to work.
Blurf.
Is this thing on?
No, it isn’t, but they are working on it.
Some allergies with all the tree pollen but that I’m used to. Other than that its just a plain old Monday.
No no no no no!! It’s the 21st! Please, no one show up on the 14th - my inlaws will be coming that day for a several day visit! You people are far too scary for them!! :eek:
Taking a little break - I’ve been going non-stop all morning and my brain needs some relief. Plus I’s hongree - time to see what’s available in the snack locker.
ONWARD!!!
