After carefully considering how I felt when I got up this morning, I can now be reasonably sure that I’m not suffering from allergies. This is a legitimate Sick.
Now I get to drive 30 minutes up I-26, go to irk, look pitiful when Big Boss comes in, threaten to share my germs, and then get permission to leave. I really wish we had sick days at my irk.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN 'Tis 64 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 86 and cloudy but no rain. We could use some rain right now but none in the forecast for several days.
Peaches hope all this is resolved soonest.
StickyBuns YAY for the impendin’ nuptials, new digs and all!
I shall head out to the southeast forty today. Rah. However, that should take up the irkday pretty much so there’s that.
OK, I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, alas and alack, 'tis back to irk so I must commence purtification.
Happy Tuesday Y’all!
I just read an email containing the un-word
variabilized.
I feel like I should scrub my brain with a good math book.
(((((Big hugs to the MMP))))) as I seem to have missed several hug-worthy things just lately. I keep meaning to read and reply to stuff but the days are getting away from me with the amount of pure Stoopit I am faced with at irk. I do manage to check into the farcebook place but that’s a quick read for my 20min lunch break.
I am on a pet-feeding extravaganza this week, two lots of friends are on holiday at the same time so I have three cats in one house, and another house with one cat and two ferrets. These houses are about 30mins apart by car so I have had some busy evenings. Luckily the ferrets don’t need attention eveyr day, and the cat has a five-compartment feeder so I have three visits there, but daily visits to the house of three cats. Good job I know which one is which!
Up, caffeinating. Obligatory blurf. Sunny and 64°, and Littlest Miss remains nekkid. As phases go, this isn’t so bad - less laundry.
Happy Toosday!
Another wet, grey, cloudy day of sogginess.
I guess if I did have flowers/seeds, now would be a good time to plant them.
I’ve been pretty lucky with sleeping through the night lately. I’ve found that if I eat a little before bed (but not too much) I’m sleeping better.
Dog is totally better, cat still is in hiding. He doesn’t like canned food so that won’t bring him out. He doesn’t like the toy, so that won’t bring him out. I feel so sorry for him but I don’t know what else to do. I’ve tried sitting with him and he starts to relax, until I move.
Congrats Doggio!
Happy Wishes for Sticky!
Hope it all is resolved soon Peaches

WTH is variabilized??
**Peaches **- my niece didn’t go thru a nekkid phase, but she did go thru a phase where she would only wear dresses. She didn’t like anything around her legs. As she got into softball, she got out of that, and now (at 29) she dresses like a normal person. So there’s hope! 
I found out there’s a way to upload great batches of files - not quite as easy as drag-n-drop, but lots faster than the one-at-a-time that I was doing, so all of the files I needed to upload are done. Now I have the fun task of creating about 60 parts lists. I’ll copy the old ones, save them, then edit the part numbers. Since it’s Excel, it should be fairly simple, if tedious… Onward!
Thanks for the ((()))
Rat is STILL missing
**PB **(da hubs) is still sleeping.
I has a blurf
(((Peaches)))
StickyBuns Conga rats! and don’t worry about being a drive by… totally guilty here!
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Closing shift, and Company Vists the next 3 days. Joy.
{{{{Peaches}}}} Glad things are getting settled, finally.
Congrats, Sticky!
Feel better, Cats.
Blurf!
my .sig to all
I had hoped that it meant describing something with a differential equation, but it refers to changing fixed costs into variable costs. It mat be cheaper to pay a company by the hour rather than on a fixed contract, for example.
Are you sure you want to know?
From the context I think it’s supposed to be corporatespeak for “we put numbers on some qualitative stuff and then called those things with multiple possible values ‘variables’”. Apparently someone was feeling nostalgic after all those years of not using the word “variables” because in object-oriented programming it’s a no-no.
flytrap, it wasn’t even in a context linked to costs unless you look at it with a lot of squinting. The usual problem of people using a Big Word because they think it will make them sound important when in fact it makes them sound like idiots.
I don’t know what I did for all the hugs, but I’ll take them. I’m a hug slut.
Blurf. Major league insomnia last night.
As I don’t really have anything to say, I’ll just
{{{{{{Everyone}}}}}
Conga rats StickyBuns!
Pearl I hope the little guy (gal?) comes home soonest.
BigKitty I hope you feel better soon.
Peaches my son is still in a nekkid phase. If he’s home, he wants to be in his underwear - at least he’ll wear that! I’ve told him he must wear clothes to the dinner table. I can sometimes keep him dressed if he wants to play with other kids in the neighborhood. (He’s 11!)
Must drag daughter off to school. She was up until 1 am doing homework. At least the school year is almost over. All her teachers are packing in big projects in the last 2 weeks, so she’s swamped.
After I drop her off, I’m crawling back into bed. Yay, bed!
That’s a pretty good thing to say anytime. And some good hugs back at-cha ----- just because.
Other than that just up and about my day.
the tenant to my left moved out last month. Workers have been in and out of that place, all day yesterday and again this morning, making lots and lots of noise.
Hugs to all who need them. This is not a good week for Mumpers.
It is raining and I have a migraine. I took my Sumatriptan and hope it works. Going out for burgers tonight. YEAH!
It’s COLD! 
Lunch - at last. It’s been a morning for dealing with lots of stupid little things, most of which were my fault - sloppy errors. But I think I’ve caught them all, so yay.
**FCD **called a bit after 10 - he was going home in agony. Poor guy. His Dr’s office called my cell - his appointment to get shot in the back is for 3:30 on Thurs - hope he survives that long!! I may have to take off to drive him there, depending on how he feels. Arthritis is a bitch.
And, sadly, my lunch is ramen because I didn’t pack anything and didn’t drive past WaWa so’s I could get a salad. Ramen is sad…
