Bwtween the lawn people, the fire department, the gas people, Melvin, and Woody, Gordie has been barking for 10 hours. Anybody want a giant geriatric Jack Russell?
So he likes Rawhides?
:eek:
Sunny, sounds good!
Nut, so you’re not getting a good buzz from your hive?
T-boomers continue and rain still falls. I hope to sleep thru.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I can relate. Princess Allie had a tizzy at about 0200 about a dog being outside our bedroom window. You’d think she’d realize that the dog cannot intrude through the glass, unless she’s for some “fuzzy logic” reason defining her territory as “everything I can see”.
Evening all. 10 out of 12 girls made it to soccer practice, things went well despite the 93F temperatures. Only problem was one sitting behind me when I decided to back up. Took a tumble, the kid was fine and somewhat surprisingly, so was I. Made sure players knew that rule #1 was don’t get behind the coach…
The Tuesday Mac-n-Cheese has been consumed and last bill of the month paid, so all is right with the world.
Butters, yeah I knew who Rowdy Yates was, had to double-check if it was the actor I thought it was and I was right Clint Eastwood.
Nut, hope the bees are calm come honey time.
Barking for 10 hours, doggio? Apparently Gordie is…a dog.
Everybody have a good evening.
I irked.
I applied for transfer to another branch of Da Jungle
I applied for a slightly different schedule at my current branch of Da Jungle.
Tomorrow I will sacrifice a chicken to JB and anoint his Holy Image with blood and rum and burn a trillion dollar bill in his honor. And keep my fingers crossed as well. 
Every medium-large company I’ve seen stays in business thanks to the little people: some happen to also have decent directors. This particular one isn’t even conscious of what kind of company they are: they claim to be “an industrial company” but they’re actually “industrial subcontractors”, which is a very different business model with very different needs. There’s many other things which get misleading labels: what they call “sales organization” are actually “warehouse dispatchers”, what they call “contractors” are “people who sell services and write the contracts for those services”. One of the biggest problems of consultants coming in is precisely how long it takes to figure out what the fuck are the locals talking about, because I swear they never use any nouns the same way as everybody else.
Mr Fabulous finally appeared just as we were leaving for lunch; he graciously gave us permission to go (answered with exclamations of “no shit” in two languages, none of which he understands) and later kept me there until two hours after my usual quit o’clock. More of that today and tomorrow.
At one point when he’d gone for coffee, Main Contact asked me “did I understand correctly that he said 'oh you should have used these fields like this and like this and like this, and then you asked why and he was surprised you did not know, and then said ‘oh. Oh, I’m the only one who knows that!’?” “Yes.” “Oh God. We’re going to Hell, factory and all.”
Good <checks watch> morning from <checks GPS> Europe! Had amazing legroom in the exit row! 
Did you wave at my relatives as you flew over?
Good morning! More rain promised today. More crap on my desk. Just another day in paradise.
Happy Wednesday!!
They are in the building with the little windows, barbed wire, & armed guards, right? If so, then yes.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 74 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 91 and mostly N.O.S. for the day. Today I shall take care of usual church duties (trash cans, etc), get the oil changed in twuck (hopefully the place I use will not be busy this bein’ a weekday), lay in provisions, and make sup which is as of now TBD as to what. I shall look for inspiration whilst at the Pubic Sto’. I live such an excitatin’ life!
Cookie forgot to say yestiddy, have fun on your trip!
Sunny sounds like the move is comin’ along. Still, better thee than me.
Ruble good luck with the transfer/schedule change.
Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, alas, alack, and major bother, I must purtiy and don appropriate bein’ about the public attire. Life is hard!
Happy Hump Day Y’all!
swampy, I meant to ask you: My MIL said the WalMart in Ocala carries Sonny’s BBQ sauce. Have you ever noticed it in your WalMart? Alas, it’s not in ours, and I was wondering if it was just carried in stores near the restaurants. For the record, we’ll stock up this weekend when we take them home.
Happy Hump Day!
It’s a cloudy 72 degrees outside. I think it’s gonna rain.
I got Ripple off to daycare.
As soon as I got back my son wanted to know when we were going to lunch.
We’ll go between 2 and 3 when the place isn’t crowded. Their parking lot is pretty full at lunch and dinner time.
I decided to irk this morning instead of irking in the yard. It’s not nice outside, already humid. Also, I have to take off Firday morning because now the electric company is working on our street and the power will be shut off sporadically. I knew their time was coming, we have all new water lines and meters, new gas lines and meters, the street has been repaved and new lines painted on it. Now we are getting new wires, but since they are above the ground (we still have telephone poles around here) nothing is going to need to be dug up. There is a new internet company in the area too, they have been out back stringing up new lines. Usually they are blocking the alley but yesterday they were parked out back on my and the neighbor’s parking pads.
I thought those cables went underground, seems I thought wrong.
Very busy out there.
Morning. At irk, as usual. Tis a bright and clear day after the storms of yesterday and last night.
Today is maid day so I got up and did a few things to get ready for her. I started laundry and the dishwasher and gathered the trash. Poor Buddy is locked in his crate until she leaves then he will have access to a larger area but still confined. I can’t trust him yet to be loose in the house.
I need to get busy I guess once I finish this coffee…
Morning all. Got up early to start my laundry, only to discover I had no detergent. So after fiddling a bit, got dressed and went to Kroger, and of course realized I needed Mayo as I was out, then picked up some bottled water for soccer games, and they had the NY Times and Pepsi 2-liters were 4 for 0.89 cents each…so I managed to get out only $31 poorer. Undergarments are washing right now with the shirts on deck.
Typed out the soccer schedules for all three teams this season (finally published them late last night) and now have to remember to take them with me to practice and pass them out. 10U boys is tonight.
Raisin bread and Pepsi have been consumed (hey, I’m 66, I can eat what I damn well please for breakfast) so life is good.
All y’all take care.
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to work. Closing shift tonight.
Except when he thinks he’s a cow.
Good luck, Ruble!
Every time I see this thread title
I want to thank you for the earworm Spidey
There or their tent somewhere on the steppes; I always forget which month they move from “summer” to “winter” range.
Which reminds me ------ a co-irker I like is heading that way for school/studies and I need to warn the tribe. He gets to go to school in Irkutsk while I was forced to attend Pitt ------ but I like him a lot anyway.
I have a motorcycle I think is a cow; and I believe the motorcycle thinks its a cow as well. So why not? Or viaduct?
(waiting for the correct countersign)
… and two hardboiled eggs!
Swordfish. It’s always swordfish.
Trying to get started on next year’s Big Project today. I think I deserve a sticker or somethin’; the course doesn’t even start officially for over a month. Gonna need the time though, due to growing plants.
