Damn coffeemaker is having issues, and I have grounds in my coffee. Ugh.
Swampy, I don’t hear much hissing at games. You are welcome to hiss if you like. Did I send you a schedule? If not, I will. There are only 27 home games this season. We can hit Chef Lee’s while you’re here - or Thai House if you like Thai. I know what you mean about naming farm animals - my Grandpa had a farm. I didn’t eat much pork for years! We processed our own pork, but sent the cows out for processing. I am so glad we didn’t keep chickens! Back then chicken was still cheap, and Grandpa said saving a few pennies wasn’t worth the smell. Chickens stink.
I can’t decide if I want to do yard work, or photograph jewelry for the website. Neither sounds attractive at the moment. Tomorrow I get to go finish setting up the apartments for the returning players. We have 24 coming to training camp, and the exhibition game is on the 2nd day of camp. Should be interesting.
I love his accent! Granted it is in no way a cockney accent, but that’s what makes it hilarious. When I go to England (hopefully winter or spring of next year) I think I’ll use my ‘Dick Van Dyke’ accent to try and fit in and generally give them the idea that everything I know about their country comes from Mary Poppins… until they kick me out of the country that is.
I am such a maroon! :smack: I should know better than to try to talk on the phone and try to do something else at the same time. Jeesh! It’s really not good to delete your printer when you have to print out 150 letters and their corresponding mailing labels. Luckily I was able to grab IT guy to fix it.
li-li, that guy is one of the smarmy types that actually hang at strip joints secretly wishing they could be with one. Don’t damage a dainty knuckle on the likes of him.
I know he’s an idiot, but he’s very free with his stupid opinions, and it’s annoying. There’s no point in arguing, but people who are willfully iggerant make me angry.
Je m’appelle le Tick. J’ai un grande plume et deux tete!
[SUB]My name is the Tick. I have a big feather and two heads![/SUB]
It smells like dittos in my office today. I suspect it’s really some cleaning product, since we have modern photocopiers and laser printers now, but the place smells like someone just ran off a whole bunch of those papers with the purple print. Makes me feel like I’m ten again. Well, not really.
I had a serious :eek: moment this morning while reading the newspaper. Seems that a few WWII “hedgehog” or “mousetrap” anti-submarine rockets were found in the land near my home a couple months ago. Two were deemed safe enough to be hauled off. The other two were decayed to the point that a munitions disposal team was called in to detonate them in place. Shouldn’t the neighbors within, oh, a half-mile radius, been notified? :eek:
The Navy is in the process of cleaning up the land so it can be turned over to the city. How many more nasty surprises are going to pop up?
They dont give details about how the rockets were found, but at least some guy in a backhoe didn’t try to take a bite out of one of the live ones.
Actually, our neighborhood never had munitions in it, other than what might have rained down from the Port Chicago explosions of 1944. A low hill shielded the neighborhood from the direct shockwave, so the area escaped destruction.
HEEEEEEE! I ain’t seen that in ages! I forgot how much I like cows with guns.
Of course it is one of those mysteries of life. I’ve had a cow munchin’ grass in my front yard on three occasions. Is it the same cow? Why does she pass up on all the yards before mine? Is my yard really that tasty?
I have not seen that episode since it originally aired, and not only did I recognize the quote right away (even in the French… and I don’t know French) but I can also quote a large portion of the rest of the episode.
Why yes, I do have an odd ability to retain some of the most random knowledge without thinking about it, why do you ask?
Well, I am off for the week end! Leaving work in a matter of minutes and flying to Arizona to do nothing of note. I’ll try to check in while I am there but it is unlikely I will have time to catch up until Monday night.
I had PT this morning. It turns out that the arthritis isn’t causing the pain. Actually, my hips are retroverted and I have high arches, so my leg muscles are overdeveloped on the outside and underdeveloped on the inside. So I get to do lots of pretzel-like exercises to gain muscle where I need it.
Then I picked up the oxymeter for tonight’s sleep study. By tomorrow afternoon, I will know if I have sleep apnea or not.
Now I think it’s time for a nap. But this brand-new, shiny computer is so tempting!
I am gooood. Or, I should say, Dr. Mama is gooood. Papa Tigs went to the doctor, as I’d ordered, to see if he does indeed have shingles, and he does. The doctor was very impressed with my accurate diagnosis. So Papa Tigs is off picking up his antiviral medication right now, and hopefully will nip this shingles thing in the bud, and not end up in the hospital with it like his brother did a couple years ago. :eek:
PT today was hilarious. My therapist is a Lost watcher, as am I, and as was the patient of the other therapist at the next table. So the other therapist was completely left out as we discussed the show. She’s beginning to realize that she needs to change her viewing habits to work there – during Tuesday’s session we discuss the Amazing Race, and Thursday it’s Lost. And she doesn’t watch either of them. Yet. Bwahahaha…we are so evil!
How does an oximeter work as a sleep apnea diagnostic tool, Jahdra? I looked it up, and it seems to measure oxygen levels in your blood. When I had my sleep study, I slept at the clinic, and they wired my head and chest to measure heart rate, alpha waves, REM sleep - all that jazz. Maybe an oximeter, too, I don’t know.
They found that I had a pretty bad case of it, and I now have a CPAP machine. What a blessing! (CPAP = Continuous Positive Air Pressure)
Well, you have to sleep with it on, so it measures your oxygen levels throughout the night. If you have sleep apnea, your oxygen levels will be lower while sleeping. At least, that’s how they explained it in class last night. They also said that they prefer to do the tests at home, since that’s where you’ll get your best sleep.
I am soooooo tired. it’s funny but the busier and more stressful it gets at work the more I push myself out side of work. So I uess it’s good for me. But it’s my eyes I worry about, they’ve been red a lot lately - not enough sleep. Almost there…this will all be over as of the 24th.
I just grabbed two of those white styrofoam peanuts and put thumbtacks in the bottoms and drew faces on them and I’m going to leave them on my coworker’s desks with a note saying “Albino Peanuts”.
I need a drink.
If no one else has a compelling desire, I’ll do it. It’s a holiday, so I’ll be home anyway, and I’ll be doing some stuff this weekend, so I’ll have something to write about.
I will yield to anyone, since I do this a lot, so if you really, really want to start things off next week, no big to me.
Because I’m nice, dammit!
Training is over. Dentist is over. Car is at body shop. I have heartburn from a nasty fish sammich at BK. Other than that, life is good.
[The Tick]I’m doing laundry![/TT] I am out of clean, untorn pants, so I have no choice. One last hot day today, then colder and rainy tomorrow. I’m making burgers, and beer, left overs from yesterday.
LiLi does idiot cow-orker know one of your husbands is a martial artist, and another is an ax wielding attack husband? I took three years of French, but when I ran into two cute French girls, all I could think of was " Je suis un chien"* I know a lot more German, because of all the old war movies I watched.
gotti. I thought you said the office smelled like dildoes. <snerk>[sup]10[/sup]
swampy, We don’t hiss, but we have a clip of Ric Flair we play when the Canes score a goal: [Ric Flair]Wooo! Wooo![RF]
Mika, I like the peanut thing.
For all you guys fleeing the MMP, have a good weekend, and we will only talk about you a little.
