bows I thank you for your generous and undeserved praise! I like making people laugh with my stories and antics, so it’s nice to know that faceless strangers are doing as such via the series of tubes.
Only because classes don’t start til Tuesday. Unless you’re me and have no classes Tuesdays or Thursdays, in which case you have another free day! 
<wildly scratching her head to figure out where in hell one can get to college age and never have met a Jewish person before>
:dubious: @ the carnival to start the new year. Why not start the year hungover with your head in a toilet like normal people? Where do you go to school: The Moody Bible Institute? (come to think of it–you’d probably meet a few Jews at least nearby if you went there!)
Rosie: I think I’m glad I went to college when I did…
Good luck this year,** Moonie**. Watch out for the Bozo Buckets game–it’s rigged. 
I am off to bed soon. Still pouting re no hot bath. And just where are cute pics of IrishBoy? I wanna see his shoes/feet. It’s a Celtic thing; you wouldn’t understand. 
Thanks for all of the greetings. You Mumpers are an interesting bunch. I’m not a morning anything so I’m glad to see some Monday Evening Posters as well.
As for the chocolate, I’m fresh out. I’m watching my blood sugar these days so chocolate is on the endangered list. In WeightWatchers, they suggested we eat a carrot when we were hungry for sweets. Can I interest you in a carrot?
the feet photos are all throughout Haze’s vaca pix on fb
that’s what I did.
Ruby - we have mumpers* all over Europe and the Middle East, not to mention the Far East - so someone is available for mumping* at any given hour
Well, that’s the polite version for when we’re in company. Shall we reveal what mumping truly is? Have they seen the squid yet? I’ll let someone else break the news to our newbies.
Off to bed. There is a bird outside making an odd noise (not a hoot, more like a screech) every few minutes. I think it may be an owl. Coolness!
Until about a year ago, I was very antisocial, with only half a dozen friends tops, and even now most of my friends, if not all, are agnostic or atheist like myself. My family is either moderate Christian or atheist/agnostic. And even the random acquaintances I make tend to be people like me, who are disinterested in religion. So basically, you get to the ripe old age of 22 without meeting any Jews by hanging out almost exclusively with nonreligious people.
As for the questionable lack of durnkneness… I forgot to stop by the liquor store on the way up. Oh well - what is Labor Day for, if not figuring out exactly how many ways Baileys, or French Vanilla Kahlua, can be combined with chocolate? Or comparing the new Smirnoff Tuscan Lemonade to current market-segment leader Mike’s Hard Lemonade?
I am currently trying to clean up class material developed by an idiot teacher that apparently can’t read a syllabus and delights in plagarizing from wikipedia. ARGH.
Two more hours to go.
I think venus finds us relaxing…
Yesterday it was Excel kicking my ass and on the ‘Must Die List’, today it is our reporting sofware from a massive database. It will not give me what I want even though I have ran the query before several times…grrrrrrrr
And now Outlook has decided to piss me the hell off…I think a reboot is in order or else my laptop will be flung off the 7th floor ‘Executive’ balcony. :mad:
We are in mad planning hell for 2010 and I am trying to extract a ton of data to input into a massive spreadsheet (that I did not build) so the forecasting can be done. 4 days I have been at this now…4 days…my boss thinks I am an idiot and quite frankly I do to today.
Coffee has not kicked in yet. Grrr
Morning, mumpers! It’s a bright and sunny Tuesday here in student-land…first day of term for my 3rd year med students and that means my Shiny New Boss will be doing her introductory lecture this afternoon where she gets to face 410 curious faces and attempts to explain to them the intricacies of turning up for tutorials on time and getting their paperwork to me, in the office, by the appointed date/time. I shall probably go along so they can see what I look like (pity them, people!) and then wait for the inevitable deluge of Teh Stoopit.
mmmmmms, sorry to year you’re having 'pooter problems, I have several times wanted to throw mine out of the office window but since I’m on the ground floor, I doubt it would do much good. Unless watching it bounce down the hill counts as a benefit?
I have a busy day today, so I have only skimmed the MMP. Welcome to the noobs, and rosie’s sig to everyone else!
**Moonie **-- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Voila – a Jew who counts! 
**Ruby **-- if you’re willing to stay up after midnight, then it will be morning for me; so you get to not be a morning person, and still see morning posts.
Not that I’m much of a morning person either, but with the kids back in school… 7 AM and out of bed it is! :smack:
**Haze **-- I’m pretty sure that technically, it is not possible to plagiarize Wikipedia… :dubious:
**Nava **and Boo and ems– Good morning. Nice to have somebody in roughly the same time-zone to talk to
Good morning, SpecialOne - nice to see that you’ve actually got time in your busy day to post on here!
Just sent a sternly worded email to a naughty instructor.
Now I feel dirty.
:: waves to ems, Noone, and BooFae ::
blurf
Yeah, it’s quite a change, innit…?
Probably not going to last, but for now…
Have I ever mentioned I hated being an administrator…? I feel your pain. It sometimes seems like it’s just not worth the promotion.
::Waves back at Haze::
**Rosie **-- tell us how you **really **feel!
ok
BLURF
happy now?
Hey, that’s my line.
Up, caffeinated, off to work again.
: waves at the Mumpers in Yurp and points east :
