**Happy Birthday, Tel!** **Picu** , that’s fantastic news. Congrats! Here’s hoping I can work an _entire_ day today … but just in case, I now have a doctor’s note that says my bum may not be able to take eight hours of sitting. 🙂 ---

Happy Birthday, Tel!!! Off to feed the monsters. Maybe the monster beagle will be hungry enough this morning that she will eat before the monster basset gets to her food. ---

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TEL! **Picu,** that is wonderful news. I’m so glad. I’m a cranky old so and so. Now I can pull up this article and point out how smart I am and continue being cranky. Piles of work to do here as well. Friday cannot get here soon enough. ---

I’m back from feeding. I found a way to let beagle monster eat - I feed her first, and keep basset monster with me. I give basset monster her meds, then feed her. By the time she has scarfed her food, beagle monster has finished hers. I kind of feel bad about this - usually when I pet sit I take a book and sit with the animals for about an hour a visit, just petting and talking and reading - spending some time with them so they won’t be so lonely. These dogs are so jumpy, however, that it’s actively painful to sit down with them - I have scratches on my legs through my jeans from their nails. They seem to be doing fine, though - basset monster’s hot spot is healing and her eyes look good - her eyes are usually the first thing to have problems when she it boarded at the vet. Bitch of the day - why do people go into a thread that clearly says “cats” and post “I hate cats?” I don’t watch TV, but I don’t crap in Cafe Society threads. For some reason that bothers me. ---

Wonderful news, **Picu**! And happy b’day, Tel! I’m glad to hear that being grumpy is good. Oh, wait, I should be grumpy about that. _Grumble grumble…damn study, idiot researchers suggesting that being crotchety is a good thing…grumble grumble…_😃😃 Actually, I’m still feeling grumpy today. There I am yesterday afternoon and evening, in bed with a fever and a godawful blinding headache from a bug that Papa Tigs was kind enough to bring home for me, and when I finally stumble out of bed around suppertime to shut down my computer, what do I see? An email from the idiots I transcribe for, telling me that without so much as a phone call to find out if I was even available, they’ve uploaded a rush file onto their server that I need to have done by first this this morning. We’re talking about 2.5 hours worth of rush work, more since when I’m sick I slow down a snail’s pace, for some reason. So I ended up doing some of it last night, and then getting up this morning and finishing it instead of lounging in bed nursing my sick headache like I wanted to. Sheesh. You’d think that since I’m self-employed and can technically tell them to sit on it and spin whenever I don’t want to do a job, it would occur to them to at least _ask_ me if I’m available for an overnight rush. So they got it just a few minutes ago, which is better than they should have hoped for. _Grumble grumble…_ ---

Congratulations to **MBG** on being able to delegate. I work as a subcontractor and apparently my boss in the client has complained to my boss in my company that I do things without consulting her first. She seems to be in meetings about 28 hours a day, nobody said I had to be a telepath! CONGRATULATIONS to **picu**. I think I didn’t repeat any colors, excuse me if the end result isn’t very elegant 😃 **Tel** , cumpleaños feliz, cumpleaños feliz, te deseamos toooodoooooos cumpleaaaaañoooooos feeeeeliiiiiiiiiz [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kaboom-a-dynamite-mmp/374023.md?page=10) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kaboom-a-dynamite-mmp/374023.md?page=12)
