I was laying here trying to get to sleep and TVMan called. It was a short conversation and when we got off the phone I saw that an email had come through. It was my mentor writing to say that her ex-husband* had just passed away. Although I didn’t know him well, I do remember what a way he had with cakes. They were simply amazing. He will be missed.
*At some point in their marriage he came out. But they have remained close friends through the years.
Glad that you’ve survived the week, Muppet. And thank G-D tomorrow is Firday - unless you happen to be in South Korea, where it already is! LOL Thanks, Haze!
Dang Moonie, you -do- have an ultra high metabolism–enjoy it while you have it, btw!
We have a lot of on-line training too; some of it, however, is not user-friendly to interact with. Hence I don’t get hunnerts like Swampy does! I’ve been looking for something that will be like an introduction to project management for non-project managers (that’s a mouthful, isn’t it?!); if anyone knows of anything online, please PM me about it, okay?
Have I mentioned yet that I’m sooo glad tomorrow is Friday?
I think I just got approved as a volunteer academic coach for the city schools. All that’s left is a background check, which I know I’ll pass because I’ve never been caught…er, done anything illegal. I just need to get Wednesdays off for the rest of the school year and I’m all good.
Yay, I can do something in the educational field again!
Nava’s right, I’m the one who knows nothing about WoSW except that it is the kiss of death to a relationship. I point towards 'im indoors playing it until about 4am on a regular basis despite telling me he’s bored with it. Yeah, right.
Anyway, it’s Firday! I have to call in at the doc’s on my way home from work as I need a repeat prescription but it’s a new surgery and I’ve not had anything from them before so I have to see a doc first. I think while I’m there I’ll tell him about my persistently painful elbow and see what he suggests.
Then I have the excitement of grocery shopping afterwards, followed by the reward of yummy Chinese food.
I am tired today though, Ophie decided 5am was playtime.
I am making pretty charts in excel today with all my masses of data so that I can prepare my portion of my bosses presentation for our ‘Big Dawg’ visit we have in about 10 days time.
I actually want to be able to do my job next week instead of f&^*%$g around with our very cumbersome reporting system so I am doign teh leg work on the presentation today and over the weekend so that I don’t ahve to do next week and I can enjoy my weekend at the parents next weekend.
Must go get some food…starving…on this WW program I am hungry all the time no matter how many ‘filling foods’ I eat!
Oh dear. A good friend of mine from high school’s father-in-law passed away last night too.
Hang in there! It will get better. I have no idea if you could find them in Paris, but Orrville Redenbacher (sp?) makes a 100 calorie bag of popcorn. I find it to be a very filling snack.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up, caffienated and purtified. Gonna go meet ol’ y’all know who for brekkies at Waffle House cause we’s gourmets who only dine in the finest of restaurants.
{{{CutiePie}}}
Yay for gettin’ to be educational Spaz!
Ok, gotta get goin’. Y’all have a good Firday! It’s day two of [del]mindless drivel[/del] trainin’ for me.
Good morning all, up and caffeinating and very glad today is FIRDAY!
Rosie, that was really good! I just watched it; I’m not too familiar with is that barbershop quartet or what? I thought it was pretty darn good, though.
I gotta get out of here and head in to work. Yay for it being a (federal) holiday on Monday!!
Judging by the “winkie,” I’m pretty sure **DoRe **was pulling your leg there…
Always good to do something you love – I hope you manage to find a way eventually to make a living working in the field!
Is alcohol a drug? :dubious:
As for harassing – is it OK if you sexually harass someone who is not staff or student at your school? If so then I’m willing to take one for the team, so you don’t have to do it at school Yeah, I’m all altruistic like that…
Remind me to pay attention when that happens.
And to find out what on Og’s green earth Diablo III is, anyway… :smack:
Oh – and to the driver that barged into the traffic circle this morning, forcing me (on the circle, with right-of-way) to slam on the brakes…? Hang up and drive!!! you f***ing moron :mad:
You guys weren’t that out of tune - most of it sounded okay, but every now and then someone sounded slightly flat. And I could hear individual voices stick out over the harmony sometimes, rather than it all blending together. But overall it was good!
And No1, when Diablo III comes out I’m basically going to cut off all ties with the world . . . so really, there won’t be anything to pay attention to.
Another product from Blizzard, the same guys who make WoSW. So, addictive as hell but the only chemicals involved are massive doses of caffeine, sandwhiches eaten at the computer and, for females, chocolate (males may also have chocolate but it’s not required).
I had an interview with them ages ago, in their Paris office… I should’a asked the interviewer to take a pic of me with the life-sized statue of Thrall, darnit…
rosie, I know about nothing about music, in spite of Mother Ribas’ four years of efforts, so I don’t do critiques.
