I killded the MMP! :eek:

I found the wireless mouse I bought oh six months or so ago just now, so I wrestled it out of the four pounds of plastic wrap it was in and got it workin’. How did I ever live without it! 😃

Oh dear, **Wile**. You have no reason to feel guilty, but I can’t think of any sort of sane person who wouldn’t. ☹

More humor from my craigslist resumes: 1 response to each asking if the item was still available. For a job ad. 😕 One very obvious check scam. Which, for the record, I did not even remotely fall for.

There were also some genuine responses which is nice.

My mom is possibly the world’s best mom. Or at least close. She cashed out her retirement fund from her home business and _is giving me the check_. Not for bills either, but to get new glasses, a laptop, and an e-reader if there’s enough money leftover. So, all the stuff I wanted to buy with my graduation money, but couldn’t because I used it to pay bills.

Might as well move into the bathroom for the duration. Or, you could make Rorshach blots on the ceiling.

Yanno, coming back to work after vacation is bad enough, but having to do 3 hours OT?? Not nice. I’s pooped!!

On the other hand, I didn’t forget my passwords while I was away, so there’s that.

Anyway, I’m home, in my robe and slippers, about to start sorting and editing vacation photos. rah.

**picu** ick! I hate those things. For my last one I only had to drink two little bottles of stuff instead of the gallon of stuff. I have no idea why that was. The first time I had to drink the gallon size. Same doc too. Weird.

I got lucky with mine, too - just a little “lemon-ginger flavored” bottle of purger. I don’t understand why anyone would prescribe the mega-jug when there is an alternative.

Just finished sorting thru the first set of photos. I uploaded some, and I’m about to delete some of them, now that I have them all in one place. I’m trying my best not to make the albums too boring…

I found out today I didn’t make the referral list for the job I applied for. It’s not a big deal; I didn’t think I had all of the required qualifications anyway. Apparently, I was qualified, however I wasn’t “best qualified”.

I don’t really have any other news. Just another day in the life of taters.

I, on the other hand, _did_ LOL.

Sorry about your co-worker, **Wile E**. Of course it’s not your fault. (But I understand why it feels that way.)

Sorry you didn’t make the best list for that job, **Taters**. Keep trying!

My 11-YO nephew posted on FB that he has a girlfriend. Is it bad that the news made me giggle?

I should be asleep by now…so why am I so awake???

Hugs.

Anybody want a cookie?

Apparently my math skills weren’t so good this evening so I have quite a few leftover.

Oh! I’ll take one!

I did my select a seat, got to move over 12 chairs. I had to buy a second seat(they don’t allow single leftover seats anymore), I’m paying less than before.😃

I LOLed at the poster, too.

I’m the Booster Club Scheduling ottoman(I didn’t want to be a chair).

I am drinking wine and eating chocolate cake because I feel stabby and it makes me feel better. I feel stabby because of yet another coworker that never shuts up and knows it all and I can’t take it anymore.

**Juliana** , I think if you search for Straight Dope in the search box on top of your wall and select the non-logoed “The Straight Dope” group, you’ll be in. I’m a member, but I’ve rarely seen posts in my feed. Of course, I play several games, so things get a little lost in the shuffle. I wonder if I can add a group to a list? Off to check!

Morning all! I am back from my lovely trip to Antwerp, have celebrated Spain’s victory and collected my winnings from the office sweepstake…and gained 2lbs in weight. That’s it, I am officially a bloater!

Blurf in spades. Dog got me up at 3 AM for a trip outside, then there was an all available hands page for CPR on the other side of the county that kept me awake. It was too far for me to get there in a timely manner. Harumph.

I have a job interview today. Please cross appendages.
