Just because I can.
FIRST ON THREE!!!
Didja hear about the big scare in that city today? The Browns were at practice when they noticed a white powdery-like substance on the field. Emergency responders Dept of Homeland Security were called in. Careful analysis of said substance determined it was something called
**“Goal line” **
(The Browns are not expected to see it again.) :o
Iffn you’re gonna do that, you must say “Neener” or TBHTHBHTHBBBHT or something similar to Swampy; it’s in the membership/registration agreement.
I did something mundane today that I haven’t done since early Sept -
I had just two socks & two shoes on my feet! (No walking boot, no brace, nuffin!!! 
)
{I’m only starting to wean out of the brace, so I’s still need to wear it, especially with the craziness of the coming week, but I got an hour or so without today. It’s amazing how loose my foot felt in my shoe.}
One of those days at work. More tomorrow.
FCM , that sucks about FCDaughter’s student.
Jaws, sorry about having to break that kind of news.
Butters, yay for Lucky Louie being back!
Nope, still on one. 
Feeling cruddy. Having a streaming cold, with cough, is not terribly compatible with irking, especially in a call center.
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to work.
Feel better ,Nettie.
Y’all can’t count, we’re on two.
The new job already has its ups and downs; the view is definitely one of the ups.
Has anyone else been getting a bunch of spam from “psychics” lately? I started to notice a couple of days ago, and this morning, I had 3 waiting for me! That’s on top of all of the credit card “offers” I keep getting from First Premier Bank. So weird.
Today has started well, emails notwithstanding. I woke at 4, then fell back to sleep till 5. If the alarm hadn’t gone off, I’d still be sleeping! But it was a good sleep, and I needed some good sleep. Especially since the drafting gnomes didn’t clear all these drawings off my desk overnight - another busy day ahead. But it is one day closer to the weekend, so yay!
Happy Thursday!
Blurf. I am tired. I am at irk. It is irksome.
I am creating online evaluation questionnaires for our students and the system we use has a fondness for “please wait”…so I am waiting but I 'm bored and I want to get the stuff done because it’s tedious. Every single one has about a dozen different steps to complete and you have to wait between each one so it takes ages just to set up one simple thing. Out of spite, I am setting it to remind the students every day that they need to complete it. And I’m setting the finish time as 23:58 because it’s METAL!!!
On the plus side, I has tomorrow off. Got two classes booked at the gym and I might just spend the rest of the day doing NaNoWriMo. Because I can.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 42 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 82 and N.O.S. for the day and still no rain. I have a poke tenderloin in the slow cooker for tonight’s dindin. I shall also bake some sweet N.O.T. and figure out some type of vegetation to go along with it all. Other than that no biggie plans for the day. TDay feast is comin’ together. Twelve folks, includin’ us, will be here. Should be a nice time for all.
OK, I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. I shall also purtify somewhat cause, well, I should I suppose.
Happy Thursday Y’all!
Blurf
You’d think they’d already know who their next paying customer is going to be.
Happy Thorsday!
It’s nice and N.O.S. outside.
Nothing special going on today.
I got a raise yesterday, that was a surprise. I didn’t think I was eligible for one, but who am I to question TPTB.
I’m pretty lucky as far as spam goes. Gmail is great at catching most of it, and I just delete without even looking.
I have to deal with amazon today. I have an order that was supposed to be delivered on Nov 7 and I still haven’t received it. I’ll talk to that company directly, I know what I ordered was out of stock and there would be a delay, but it’s been shipped and should have been here by now. The other order was supposed to be delivered on Monday and it still isn’t here.
So that will be my morning.
I got rid of some unneeded stuff from the desk where bills etc live. The shredder got a workout this mornin’. 
Plus clean sheets on the bed. Go Me!
Why hello. waves I haven’t been around in a while. Been having physical health problems, causing me to feel, umm, how should I put this? very sad about my life. I know, health problems don’t necessarily prevent someone from posting on a message board, but sometimes you just don’t have the energy to participate in message boards when you’re feeling physically and/or emotionally not so good.
But the OP said to post something nice/good/positive, so I can do that. On Sunday I went to see my favourite band, who were playing a free concert in my city! I got to be in the front row with the lead singer’s adorable kids. I met the singer afterwards too. Good times. 
Lunch is over, but I need to post one little thing. I just got an invite for T-day dinner and while I still intend to veg at home, it was really nice to have someone offer me such hospitality. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Less warm and fuzzy is the thought of the panic cleaning I’ll have to do before **FCD **gets home the next day - housework just isn’t one of my favorite things. 
And now, back to work. Dammit.
mmmoooomm You are welcome to join us for T-Day dinner too. Even though it is only the two of us and the critters we still cook up a feast.
{{{Midget}}}
I know it’s weird, but when I have a sore throat and it hurts to talk, it hurts to post too. Makes no sense but there it is.
I got a text from OAOASO this morning - I suppose I should answer it. I should be raking leaves, cleaning the toilet, and scooping the litter box. I should be exercising everyday and losing weight too. So much for ‘shoulds’.
You know a relationship is long over when talking becomes a ‘should’ instead of a ‘want to’.
Mooom, that’s sad about your daughter’s student.
I hope that you feel better soon, nettie.
Welcome back, emily!
Mooom, since you hate housework so much, have you ever considered adopting doggio?
It’s been a very productive morning. I might have most of my desk cleared by the weekend. I’m doing tea with my SIL Saturday and have choir practice Sunday. Such excitement!
**Butters **- thanks, but if I’m not wiling to drive 2-ish hours to my mom’s, I’m not likely to drive all the way to the Keys. Silly woman! 
**Red **- I couldn’t afford doggio’s beer tab! :eek:
OK, back to work. My program is functional again.
Evenin’ all!
Today, we are mostly having Weather. It was hammering it [del]down[/del] sideways about half the day, then sun, then there was hail, and now there is lightning and my hair’s trying to stand on end (it’s waist length, so it ain’t managing it, though it would be awesome if it did).
My yay of the day is being off for two days now. Don’t have much in the way of plans; if it’s like today, gardenin’ isn’t that appealing. I think I’ve volunteered to help out on the door for a gig my landlord’s putting on tomorrow, not sure if that’s a good thing or not. I heard a 30 second clip of the guy’s music and thought it wasn’t as bad as the aural assault the Landlord usually listens to, so there’s that.
Currently also trying to plan out a holiday in February, 'cos I know it’ll be miserable here, the parents are off to New Zealand (for 3 months, can’t complain, I went for a year), and I want something to look forward to. I can’t decide where to go though; the two main options are crazy cold (Iceland) or somewhere I can go diving (probably the Med, possibly Spain). Both are really cheap flights.
