What BioRosie said.

TVCTPMO fired an opening salvo across my bow this morning. I bring brekkies and munch with me, and I start off with scrambled eggs. I went to the building where Cubeville 3.0 was because it has a microwave, and I went to nuke my eggs.

“Hmmm. This doesn’t look right”, says I, observing a less than expected volume of raw egg in the container. Nuked them, got coffee, and trundled off to New Cubeville.

A quick look in my bag when I got situated confirmed the remainder of my liquid eggs all over the bottom of my lunch bucket. :smack::mad:

124

Up, caffeinated, off to irk.

Yay for mmmmmm!

Boo for eggs, VBob.

Haze, dinner at 0600?:dubious:

125

Ew…

126

Welcome back, FCM!

Sorry about the eggs, Bobbio.

Nice LOL, rosie.

Yes, I’d say mmmmmmmmmmm is a bit excited. :smiley: Yay!

I’ve been up for a while, have had coffee, but no breakfast yet, and read for a while (while also uploading some pictures). Am making a list of things I have to do today and tomorrow. It’s long.

Back later.

Get 'em Taters, I’m the one around here with that rep already. You wanna go somewhere with me, it’s on MY (our) schedule, not yours. Otherwise - well have a nice drive.

Somewhere in this miserable office is more caffeine with my name on it…

128

Things are much better- I think perhaps a bit of a breakthrough happened. I hope.

Plus…

make up sex is good. Very good.

129

swampy I am indeed doing the Tigger bounce although trying to be careful to not knock any of the stacked boxes over!

Washer and fridge have been picked up as have the lamps and iron and the TV will be gone in about 30 mins. I think the lady who was buying the micowave is not coming but thats OK - I will put it in the mail room with a ‘Free to a good home’ sign.

Other than that I just need to swiffer the floors tomorrow and wipe down the bathroom and then I am outta here!

Yay fcm is back!
Booo on the spilled eggs Bobbio
:smiley: for the make up sex soapy

Happy moving day! :D:D:D

130

Reunited sex rocks too, mmmmmmmmms!

131

tiptoes into the MMP

Sooo… ummmm… hai everyone. :slight_smile:

Still alive, more or less. May have killed a few brain cells during the last few weeks of work-induced insanity, though.

So what’d I miss?

132

Hmmmm…you look familiar…:dubious:

:smiley:

Welcome back, Muppet!
**
mmmmmmmmm** is about to leave Paris.

FCM has been to Florida and back.

swampy quit his job.

I’m off today and tomorrow.

I’m pretty sure there was more…

133

rigs that sexy nurse we speak of can <snerk> examine <snerk> me anytime and as often as he wishes. :smiley:

Yay for make up sex soapy! Hope that’s makin’ life better.

gt you forgot to tell about BBBobbio spillin’ his aigs and Haze’s waaaaaaaaaay TMI which Muppet shall have to go find herself cause, don’t know about you, but I ain’t repeatin’ that!

134

Can’t I get a link to this epic TMI or sumptin’? If it’s too TMI for even swampus to repeat, then it must be really really jaw-droppingly awesome in its TMI-ness. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the round-ups, gt and swampus. Much appreciated.

It’s nice to have some goofing-off time again. I missed it so. Of course, I have no idea what to do with all this goofing-off time, now that I have it.

135

GT- you forgot to mention that I was very sad, but make up sex has improved my outlook considerably.

ETA: Was the Haze TMI the one about brushing her teeth?

136

The epic TMI is in this same thread, post by Haze, spoilered. OTOH, I’ve totally managed to ewww rigs out, and I don’t even think it was so bad (where’s the halo smiley, eh?)

Orf to do my second 24h exam. Which is in a docx… I wonder how many of my classmates are scrambling to look for a program which can open it, I know several had old versions of Word.

The inteahview went well, I think. The HR agency has, indeed, mended its chauvinistic ways: except for the two guys who were outside smoking and who may or may not have worked there, everybody I saw was female, which is the normal status of things for that sector hereabouts. The woman (a few years older than me) who verified that I can, indeedy, spoik Eenglish, asked me questions which were more relevant to my resume than those by the (about half my age) interviewer who had problems finding information in said resume even though it’s in the EU format, which is in two columns and the nature of the information is explained in the left-hand column; the psychomoronic test was completely idiotic as usual.

  1. Like so many of those, it had originally been written in English (probably in the You Es Haig), and contained beauties such as “entertaining your clients” translated as “distracting your clients”.
  2. It was quite transparent.
  3. Many of the questions needed an option d: “this question is stupider than a tiny black drag queen gatecrashing a meeting of the Sons of Hitler”.

For one of the questions, I just went and wrote my answer in longhand. It’s a smartass answer, but I’m a smartass (and I know they’re scrambling to find three candidates they can present).
The question was:
“If, according to the official hour, a watch’s hands come together every 65 minutes, my watch…
a) gets ahead
b) is on time
c) goes too slow”
I wrote down “Mine is digital” and refrained from explaining that a hand-owning watch’s hands only come together every 65 minutes if the hourly hand moves in 30º increments, which is not usually the case, and anyway if you take into account the seconds’ hand, then it’s every 65’05", you see.

137

Also, Soapy was sad, but make-up sex has improved that considerably. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes, Soapy, I’m pretty sure that was the TMI swampy was referring to, although I don’t believe Haze specified whose teeth were brushed. Here’s the post, Muppet.

Have watered plants and put first load in washer. Gotta go get some stuff outta the garage and drop it off at someone’s house…

Back later.

OK, back with a little time, and more or less caught up on the MMP. Consider yourselfs hugged, smooched, pinched, goosed, or groped as you desire… Good wishes to you unemployed slackers - get back to work!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

And now, the news.

Daughter and SIL are getting a divorce. Apparently, she finally worked up the courage to talk to him last Saturday, not wanting to face a “happy” anniversary on May 4. I, unfortunately, was in FL, so **FCD **had to deal with it all himself, and I was fretting long distance.

When I finally got a chance to talk to her, she said she’d been unhappy with him for some time. One phrase in particular “I’m tired of raising a 17-year-old…” (SIL is 34) She also told me how their goals were so very different - she wanted a home and a family, he wanted to go on a cruise… :rolleyes: Probably a whole lot more, but she didn’t share, and I don’t need to smear all the details all over the web, altho I understand *someone *is being a real drama queen on FB. :rolleyes: I asked her if counseling would be worth it, she said no. He immediately left, asked to use my van for the rest of the week, and went to live somewhere. He’s been back to start getting his stuff together, and I understand tonight he’s coming over to get the last of it. Tomorrow, he drives back to Mommy in Orlando. :rolleyes:

My daughter is back. She’s been happy and laughing. She said she feels like she’s gotten her life back. And I think he’s not going to make a stink, so it should be a quick and clean divorce (as much as possible.)

I can’t say I’m sorry. I wish I’d been able to stop her 2 years ago, but she was an adult, and it wasn’t my decision to make. **FCD **and I have tried for the last 2 years to help the boy grow up, but he seems to like living like a 17-y/o - part time job, playing computer games, flunking school. Oh, and apparently some of their friends were backing off because of him - they just didn’t like being around him.

Daughter will be contacting the lawyer a friend of hers used. I know nothing about MD divorce laws - guess I need to do some googling. No clue how long it takes or any of that. But I know she intends to take her name back - that should confuse her students! :smiley:

All I can say is ABOUT @(%^@$(%(#@ TIME!!!* I tried, for her sake, to accept him and to help him out and make him part of the family. I ran interference when **FCD **was ready to explode. I could get the boy to do stuff when he wanted to goof off. But I, too, got tired of having an over-age adolescent. In less than 24 hours, he’ll be on the road south and with luck, he’ll fade into memory…

In other news, I still hate FL. I’d forgotten about Jacksonville’s nasty sulfurous water and the horrid traffic and idiot drivers. I did have BBQ in 3 different places, and the conference was interesting most of the time, plus they served good snacks, and I got a bunch of really cool pens from various vendors. But I’m glad to be home.

And **FCD **is going back to work on Monday. For those keeping score, he had his surgery 3 weeks ago tomorrow. His doc specified light duty, and he has been careful not to lift or pull or any other stupid thing. He’s not supposed to stand for long periods of time or carry anything over 10# or bend or twist. But he can work the computer and the phone, so there’s that.

Plus I’m off till Monday, so yay!! :smiley:

139

Well, I can’t say I’m surprised about your daughter’s divorce, **FCM. ** I think we all saw it coming. I’m glad she’s back to herself, but sorry she had to suffer some to do it.

I stayed home from work today. Just because. Enough said.

I need to clean myself up and head out to the store. We’re in need of real food.

Boofae, sincere condolences on **'im indoors **loss. Thinking good thoughts for both of you.

140

Moooooom, is it tacky to say congrats?
