Is anyone else flashing back on that whole Barq’s Root Beer “Free Soviet Stuff” campaign? No? Just me? OK – well, I’ll just stop Stalin and Trotsky back out of here. Hark - I think I hear an adult beverage calling my name.
I woke up 2 hours early because I had to go to the bathroom. Ugh. Now I’m sitting here hoping that if I send telepathic waves to GilaMonster that she’ll decide to pick up donuts on her way in. 
Because otherwise it will be something like a Special K protein bar for breakfast. :rolleyes:
Today, I are mostly blurfing. I’ve just spent ages at a team meeting, that’s 2hrs of my life I’ll never get back again. And all they were doing was moaning about the new building they’ve moved into. I’m quite glad I didn’t get to move in there too!
'im indoors has finished his month-long diet and detox, and celebrated with a visit to Unlucky Fried Kitten for something swimming in grease, and last night we had cocktails (I approve of that bit!) and curry, and he had two bottles of wine. So much for keeping up the good work, huh?
It is snowing here in StupidParis…it just stopped snowing mid-type.
On another note…guess who is moving? The Company came through and I get to go be with my hubby again!
Pending visa processing and my replacement arriving…
My office cheered for me.
And this is what I currently look like :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Up, caffeinated, off to work. hockey tonight, W00T!
Yay for mmmmmmmmm!!!
Yay mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! It’s about damn time they did the right thing by you and hubby. How long until you get the hell outta dodge?
BooFae, it’s imperative that post-detox, all flushed toxins be replaced as quickly as possible. I’d suggest getting 'im indoors to smoke a pag of ciggies while he’s at it, lest he find himself suffering from over-healthiness.
Other than that, I gots nuffin’. Bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurf.
3 inches on the ground and no end in sight. Winter storm warning for my area until 0900 TOMORROW. We’re supposed get a foot of snow (I dunno how many meters that is–or centimeters).
It’s a nice, light, fluffy snow and easy to shovel.
TH went to Canada today at 0530. I am home alone.
No donuts 
If I had a nickel for every stupid request like this one:
Please delete Joe’s ID.
I’d be filthy rich. Who’s Joe? With nearly 300,000 people here, there’s bound to be more than one person named Joe.
But, they pay me the mid-sized bucks to make sense of it.
Speaking of dollars, an update on DH - sure enough, they’re not going to hire him permanently for the position he’s at right now as a temp. However, they do like him and want to keep him, which is a good thing. Who knows? Maybe the person that they did hire for the position will suck and they’ll say, “Ooh, good thing he’s still here!”
While waiting for a server to hurry up and process something, I was looking at my keyboard and thinking that I probably hit BREAK much more often than most people - it’s worn to the point of being shiny. The A and S keys are almost worn completely blank, and there’s a large portion of the spacebar that’s worn mirror-smooth. There’s a lot of gunk under the keys. It’s probably time to take it apart again for a good scrubbing. Last time I did that was ten years ago, so it’s due. Ewww…
Still no donuts.
At work I could never look at the keyboard while I typed because so many keys were blank. If I touch-typed I was fine, if I tried to hunt and peck I couldn’t remember where the keys were.
I had a gross, but related dream last night. I dreamed my trackball was so dirty I scraped a quarter inch of crud off all surfaces! EWWW!
But I’m off to breakfast and working!
I did a mitzvah this morning. Friend A & her bf D needed a ride to the airport - so I said sure - no that wasn’t the mitzvah - the mitzvah came when she called me when I was but a few blocks from home to tell me D had left his passport on his kitchen table and would I pretty please with a lobster dinner on top come get them, take them to his place and then drop them back at the airport. By the time I picked them up, they had changed their flight, and realized that D could easily get a replacement passport while in FL, so we went for coffee at a diner just across from the airport entrance, and then I took them back to the terminal - plus I am picking her up on Saturday while he travels on to his non-US destination.
But it wasn’t for karma points - it was because she has done much for me over the last few weeks, and I figured it was only fair that I do this, especially since I intend to ask her for a few more favors. 
Not a dream, but real life: VWife’s old mouse would collect cat hair and quit working because the fur blocked the optics. She’d bitch about the mouse breaking and demand I buy her a new one. I’d open it up in front of her, and pull out enough fur and crap to build a whole new cat, blow out the rest, and it would then work flawlessly. Somehow she was incapable of doing that herself.
The problem is now solved, because the mouse that came with her new PC is castrated. No balls means no collected fur…
I’m going to Planned Parenthood today (because I is po’) to find out why I’ve suddenly started getting them.
BioRosie, some of us are Gentiles. What is a (plain old) mitzvah?
**Spaz, **you date a guy for 3 weeks, and you’re getting headaches?
I have to scrape the crud out of the rollers every three or four weeks and I get a line of sweat or whatever along one button. At my last job, the mouse was optic so no ball, but it would still collect crud along the bottom. It was gross.
And I had better get going because I just realized that the project I scheduled for taking a week and a half is due in two days and I haven’t started it. :eek::eek::eek:
Is it castrated or just female?
I keep meaning to write something, but I have little time and a lot to say and I can’t remember if I said it already…
- Mr Rebo took 2nd in the chili cookoff. We was robbed! The number 1 chili was salty, even by the cook’s own admission.
- Geaux Saints!
- Yesterday I was assimilated by the Borg. I have a sensor implanted in my side that is taking a glucose reading every 5 minutes. Didn’t hurt too bad, and doesn’t bug me too much.
- Busy!!! Blech.
- I get the sensor out on Friday, but I had already requested Thursday off because I thought they were gonna take it out on Thursday, and Friday is my regular Friday off, sooo - what they don’t know won’t hurt 'em, right?
- Rosie’s sig to all!!!
Literally, in this case, I think the translation is an act of kindness or a favor.
yes - “a good deed”
