We’ll just send some hugs and good vibes north anyway. And we’ll hope everything goes better tomorrow.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 40 Amurrkin out and clear (OK dark but no clouds) with a predicted high of 54 and N.O.S. for the day. A typical Winter’s day for south Jawja. We’ll see 60s for highs beginnin’ tomorrow accordin’ to TWPTB. We shall see. Today is laundry and go do some errands day. Rah. My new printer is also supposed to arrive at da cave. So I get to install a new printer as well provided it shows up. Rah.
{{{Midget}}} hope things go well at the doc and the other stuff resolves itself soonest.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then I suppose I should purtify if’n I am to go about the public. Rah.
Happy Tuesday Y’all!
Aw, {{{Midget}}} - hang in there, and whine to us as necessary!
This waking-before-the-alarm is getting old, but I just open my tablet and play a game or two till it’s time to get up. If I can’t sleep, I can exercise my brain - my latest favorite is one of those “How many words can you make from this pile of letters?”
Supposedly snow is on the way, but it shouldn’t amount to anything beyond annoyance. The cold is less tolerable, especially since I want to run an errand at lunch and I may get chilled. dammit.
Happy Tuesday anyway! 
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to work. Hockey after work.
really hot blanket for Midget
I just had one of my multiple managers ask me who did I inform that I was considering leaving at the end of my contract.
Since when and in what universe do you need to inform people of that? I told him that I did indicate some of the treatment received was unacceptable, this was ignored, and under those circumstances I consider that the end of the contract is a perfectly fine time to finish the contract.
He gets a tiny shitty star sticker for coming up with a reaction I hadn’t encountered before, I guess.
So how’s life with you guys? Anybody else have a problem with “this is unacceptable” apparently being too mild an expression? Maybe I’m oversocialized or something: I was taught that “when you scream I can’t hear you”, so when I’m really angry I speak in a calm voice and apparently a lot of people think that means they can ignore it.
Most companies frown on carrying that kind of props into the office, you know.
Happy Toosday!
Although Shitty Toosday would be more appropriate.
Today was blood test day.
I woke up at 1:30 am and never got back to sleep.
Got ready to leave and there is snow!
Drive all the way to the lab and there is a note on the door that they have moved.
I guess that is why the website kept sendng me to a different address, but they could have said the lab was closed, instead of letting me make an appointment.
So I call the lab and they give me the new address but I have no idea how to get there, and they are telling me that yes the website says they have moved and it doesn’t matter anyway because she doesn’t have any appointments scheduled for this morning.
BULLSHIT! I have a confirmation email.
By then somebody else has pulled up to the lab, sees the note on the door and starts to leave.
I asked him if he knows where opal st is and can I follow him, and he said yes and so I did.
Finally got to the lab.
I was not a very happy or nice person this morning.
Yesterday Ripple brought me the mail, only he dropped it in the middle of the living room floor. We negotiated a bit, I told him if he wants cheese he has to hand it to me not drop it in the middle of the room. He finally picked it up and handed it to me.
I should have recognized the envelope, because I just got two more membership cards and a bill from the aarp.

Blurfage Irk of course. Tis windy and chilly today. There is nothing much to do other than surf the net all day. My work will be crazy on the first for the first week of the month. Next Thursday it’s sinus surgery day. Good thoughts appreciated. I am skeered.
Back to surfing.
How about something like this?
I could easily make one and legally it isn’t even a firearm or a weapon. 
Can you guess I’ve already thought this through?
(Darn one short and I ain’t feeling juvenile today)
One what short; one taco short of a full meal? :o
But you teed it up for me. I’m sitting here bored on a conf call; can I haz pillow?
I ran my errand at lunch and stopped to grab a McLunch. Our flurries stopped and the Ice Age has arrived! Windy, cold, BLECH!!!
Butters, Sari, Nava, and Midget: multiple (guaranteed non-sexist) hugs for all of you for your various trials and travails.
It’s down to about 35F this morning. Since I had some cash left over for the month and little food in the pantry, I treated myself to pancakes and bacon at the Sunny Side Cafe. It was very good, if a bit over-filling (their pancakes fill the plate).
Cold but N.O.S. here in no. Illinois. I took Ursala Kitteh for a nail trim last night and she’s still not speaking to me. I don’t have to go anywhere after irk except to the sto’ which is on the way home. Then I can sloth all night!
Someone call an ambulance, ruble is sick!
Or one taco short of a bell? Which reminds me of

(depends on where you work but its from Robot Chicken)
Since the OW took today off for a doctor we decided to visit our favorite diner. I had a Reuben and chili. I have great sympathy for anyone I work/team with if I’m unloading a 53 foot trailer tonight. 
{{{Midget}}}
I have nothing of any importance to say. Usual haid hurts nonsense, and some stuff I need to get done. Sigh. Coffee maybe?
Evenin’ all. {{Assorted hugs, open to all mumpers}}.
I’s tahred. Only just gone 8, and I can barely keep my eyes open.
I fell asleep during my morning irk shift, fortunately the phone will wake me and I was coherant enough to uphold my end of the conversations.
Afterwards I took a long nap.
Now I’m hungry.
I think hugs are great MetalMouse, and I always assume non-sexual unless there is a clear indication otherwise.
It’s gotten colder since this morning.
Thorsday is supposed to be somewhat warmer, so that is the day I am dragging Sah-son out to see a counselor. I’ll be waiting in the truck so warmer is better.
That means rescheduling the furnace inspection, again.
If I reschedule it enough times maybe I can get the furnace and AC inspected at the same time, which seems like a better idea to me anyway.
{{{Butters}}}
It will all work out okay.
Nava - many bosses are idiots. I always wondered whether it is the idiots that get promoted to management, or if the act of being promoted turns people into idiots.
Don’t they inspect them just before they will be used for the seasons?
I think that idiots promote other idiots.
