SnakesCatLady, your last post made the SNL skit about Swetty balls popped into my head. I’m still smirking.
Thanks, all.
So, am I first to wish our own Telperien a happy birthday? (Or did FCM get in ahead of me? 
)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Tel!!!
I’m up and semi-awake and should think about getting ready for work.

Happy Birthday Tellie
I first thought of Chef’s Chocolate Salty Balls from South Park.
Good news there, picu.
Another drive-by. Harrrruuuumph. It’s morning. I’m at my desk. That is all, carry on.
Ditto Bobbio.
Morning. desk. Piles of work.
grumble grumble…
Happy Burfday Tel!!!
back to grumble grumble…
Tritto! (Is too a word) There was a whole section of the PowerPoint I didn’t see that’s gotsta get done today.
Yay, picu!!
HAPPPY BIRFDAY, TEL!!!
We must really do something about all this work. :rolleyes:
Tupug
This made the day a whole lot brighter…
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 and lots of vodka!
Yay, picu, too. I’m very glad.
Morning. Time for tea. It’s pouring- do I want to go outside before work?
Yay Picu!!!
Happy Birthday Tel!
The news of the morning is that a coworker who had a critter stuck in her furnace/duct system hasn’t come in to work yet. We think maybe the critter ate her. :eek:
That is terrible! I either have to resign myself to becoming dumb, or get a whole lot snarkier. I’m sure that swampy is going to love that news.
Also, congratulations and birghdays aas appropriate.
Me, too! Goldurnit! :mad: 
Me, three, consarnit ya rotten kid, ya 
Not me. If I keep up the crakiness at this rate, by the time I’m 60 I’ll be the smartest man in the world!
Happy birthday, Tel.
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,
