eleanor, did I read correctly in your post that you and hub are separating? If so, I’m sorry/happy, which ever is appropriate. It’s tough either way. I hope things turn out as you want them.
I am geographically close to Rue and I even know his actual name AND have seen His Actual Face (along with the rest of him) a coupla years ago, GT. So if we were to gang up on him on his front door, he’d at least realize we were a contingent of the MMP. How to actually FIND him, though … that would be a trick. When I met him he came to me.
chaosboy the saga has indeed been gripping, and add to me the group who is satisfyingly not single–yet entertained by the exploits of those who are. Glad things were sorted out before they got entangled. AND … the UPS Package Tracking web site informs me that a person named DAVIS signed for a certain something yesterday at 11:32 A.M. … Did DAVIS abscond with it, or has it been placed in your hot little hands???
A virus is attacking my work today and various people have been forbidden to turn on their computers. Consequently I am typing a big boring list of things I would normally have copied and pasted. It is a misery.
I actually AM being productive today! That’s so unusual for me. But Those-in-Authority have finally gotten me the data I need so now it’s number-crunching and graph-making time. This is the stuff I actually enjoy doing! I just wish there were more of it. And less of the waiting-for-people-to-get-me-info stuff.
No Easy-Bake in this cube, but I was thinking of whirling up a batch of pumpkin bread for a birthday/halloween party this weekend.
I just can’t figure out the food a neighbor has for lunch now and then. I’ll get a whiff of absolutely delicious-smelling onion rings. When asked where from, he says Burger King. I think he’s lying as BK’s rings do not smell that good.

This same thing happened with my glasses last year… they signed for it, and didn’t tell me about it. I called Wal-Mart all pissed off, and they told me that it had been delivered about a week ago. I’ll have to go sort things after my 1 oclock class.
We don’t hire vegetarians. In fact, this may be the last state on the East Coast that prohibits vegetarian from admitting what they are in public.
Seriously, though, no one has complained. I have a meeting every year of folks who all worked together at a record store in the '80s. We would go to the Japanese steak house, until last year. One of the girls is now Vegan (not just veg), and demanded that we switch to someplace else. We then went to a Chinese buffet (her recommendation), but we decided that she’s not going to be invited back next year because the rest of us really really like going to the steak house for this thing.
We don’t have too many whiners. Roundboy is just as annoying, though, because he’s an expert about everything. I sat next to him at lunch today, and he was lecturing all who couldn’t avoid him about tequila.
Bob if was just that, I could live with him. But he went into what the different shades of the drink mean with respect to quality, different regions where Tequila is made, etc.
I just walked past him in one of the labs. He was telling people all about how cruise liners hire people from different Third World countries and why. He knows all of this because for six months he was a purchasing guy for a cruise liner company. And since he worked one summer as a UPS driver, don’t be standing next to him when the truck pulls up for deliveries or pick-ups.
Oh, good God! I’d just smack him upside the head. Well, that would probably get me in some trouble, but I’d definitely tell him nobody cares and to shut the hell up. I loathe know it alls.
Kally, do you mean the Randolph Mantooth guy from that show called “Emergency” that was on in the 70s? I thought he was hot too, at least I did when I was 12.
Ellen! Ellen! My package came, but I wasn’t notified of it, but it’s in my (cold) little hands right now! The chocolate and cookies have been stashed away so that I don’t eat them all at once, and the tea (although I haven’t tried it yet) smells wunnerful.
(You should have seen my face when I saw the chocolate… I thought that it was a donkey at first, and was going to come kill you. :p)
I was about 13, and had the hots for Julie London. Even today, when the Emergency show up on the tube, I picture Julie dressed as a dominatrix, telling me to bark like a dog…
Gosh, Roundboy sounds like fun. Just tell him it’s not tequila unless it’s actually from Tequila, Mexico, so please get over it. I am very fortunate not to work with any such experts such as Roundboy right now.
In a rush as my brother will be here shortly and I still have a few things I wanted to do before he got here…
Still no Rue? Even after Ellen and I threatened and all?
