You are distressingly good at that. :dubious:
Spilled his gin&tonic on the modem again. 
Good job, you can be the understudy. How do you look in a spandex tubetop and go-go boots?
Jesus, you should spoiler that stuff.
Probably bacon grease on the modem, or you guys turning the power off again.
:dubious:
Bad day to be here.
Today is the day BG&E decided to send somebody out to repair the driveway.
Lots of noise as they dug/broke up the existing concrete so I couldn’t irk.
I have no idea how long it takes for the stuff (I think they are using asphalt) to dry/set so I can’t back up in the driveway to load up the truck.
I need to get busy, figure out what I am going to do.
Well, that certainly stopped the conversation dead in its tracks.
I’m having a sammich, then I’m heading downstairs to play in my studio, because I’ve been lazy all morning.
Speaking of lazy - is it a policy of FedEx and UPS to not ring doorbells when they drop stuff off? Two days in a row now I’ve been sitting on my couch watching UPS back up the driveway and leave boxes on the porch. Does “ding dong” put them that far behind schedule??
That’s actually why we exist. The Really Big Boss got tired of damaged boxes moving through the system and getting more damaged as they went along. With us we have a section/duty called “problem solve”; any bangs or damage to a box and the package goes right there to be opened and reboxed after getting checked. And any of us who sees so much as a banged corner has the authority to pull that package and send it to problem solve. When we talk about the “perfect package” it’s more than a phrase - it’s something we’re taught to strive for and make happen from our first day.
It’s also one of the reasons I expect some day to see fleet of trucks making house deliveries with little smileys on their sides. Give it 5 years maybe. We just started the package/shipping centers last November and that’s basically step one.
(My least favorite packages are the dog food ones; very large and very heavy and very hard to build into a pallet)
It isn’t sleeping; it’s sucking your soul out of your body. Bahahahaha!
Kopek, I am curious where the damage occurs. Once UPS declared the package “destroyed” so they probably know where. I don’t know if the seller ate the cost, or UPS, or someone’s insurance company, but Foster & Smith (a little plug for them) had more salt on the way, express, when I called them.
Blackie works for me. The only thing off the top of my brain would be Shelley since those two kinda invented the whole thing. I considered Bram but if South Park is to be trusted as a source, Goths and Vampires don’t get along that well today.
(I’m putting way too much thought into this, ain’t I?)
Good Lord - it’s like they’re twins!!! Which can only mean
Spidey’s gay?
Around 15 years ago I was thinking of a call sign for my new pilot in the game Jump Gate. I looked around my desk and saw my unopened box for the game Gothic. I did fall in love with a Goth in college, and I am going to warm up a chicken artichoke sammy for lunch.
Do they just sit around a dorm room being morose?
:dubious:
My UPS guy always puts the packages on the back porch, where I don’t think to look.
Last time my kitchen was a mess and I hope he didn’t notice being that I still don’t have curtains in the kitchen.
Even though the truck says asphalt they’re laying concrete in the driveway.
Ugh, looks like hard irk, I’m glad I don’t have to do that for a living.
If you can see them, does that make them a Visi-Goth?
Howdy Y’all! Sneakin’ in a post from irk where ‘tis super bzzy today. Like MOOOOOOM said my home modem is fried. I had a feelin’ it was about to happen and last night, sho’ 'nuff, it gave out. Anywho I have another on the way in a couple of days. In the meantime I may not be around much.
spidey you done good! 
Ok, I need to eat N.O.L. and get back to irk.
Yes, but she loved to play in the snow. Sort of like my Saint Bernard always looking sad but loving life.
My UPS guy has instructions that if I’m not home, leave the package with Miss Sarah downstairs. The USPO leaves a note in my mailbox that tells me to be at the PO by 4:00 pm, which sucks, because I don’t roll into town until a quater to five. :smack: FedEx can’t even find my apartment complex and delivers packages to an address across the street. :smack: :smack: So if ya wanna send me a Christmas present, go brown.
It’s a slow day in a slow week. Just waiting for Friday to come.
I’m waiting for a delivery from UPS. So far, tracking my package, it left the US, came to a location near me in Canada, then it went to another location in the US (?
) and now it’s back in the location in Canada. I hope it’ll arrive soon. Heck, I just hope it’ll arrive at all.
**Midget **- I had a package I mailed to my sister in Baltimore - that’s north of here - I can drive to her place in less than 2 hours. The package went to a local sorting center, then to North Carolina, back to the local center, then on to Baltimore. So much for priority mail. Luckily, it wasn’t something she needed in a rush.
**swampy **- your text threw me for a second because I’d neglected to add you to my contact list, so the phone only displayed your number, which I didn’t recognize. I was just about to text back that you’d gotten the wrong number, then I saw your sign-off. Checked the number, and now you’re added. But if you get a call asking if you have Prince Albert in a can, that’s not me. 
Done puttering with pottery. I finished the 4 pieces for my sister and I converted one of the closed pots into a monster. Everything except the unfinished pot and the latest monster has been removed from the damp cabinet and set out to dry. With luck, I can do a firing next week. Yay!
What’s the number? I just want to call him on his birthday.
I could not finish my lunch after reading the, “How not to catch a mouse” thread.
I’d just ask if he had Peter Pan in a jar. 
Those were the kinds of calls I used to field at a little store I worked at in college. They always came when school was out.
