**emily** , I’m glad your friend is OK. **bumba** , I like pineapple on a pizza with ham or Canadian bacon to offset the sweet. **doggio** , pictures of you in a kilt or it didn’t happen. 😃 I got a lot done on my project at irk today. When I got home, the maintenance guy had been here to replace the drawer support that broke. 🙂 The bathroom is clean, the apartment dusted and supper is being et. ---

you know before people I moved in with became the diet police the only time I ordered from dominos was for bbq chicken pizza and only reason I did that was they’d 1 deliver after 10 pm and 2 take a personal check (and not mind waiting a couple of days to deposit said check) my quality pizza place closed early and was cash only back in the day Now since their eternal 2 med for 6.99 deal … its the only place they order from here … ---

Our field trip went well. But lately I’ve been feeling that this may not be the career for me and might be my last year. We spend most of our day at the ready to protect from harm and occasionally incur injuries ourselves. It’s a noble calling, but maybe not mine. Some days it’s more stress than I can handle. We are literally always at the ready to spring into action and de-escalate a crisis which can occur in the blink of an eye. I had gotten my binge eating back under control, but I couldn’t deal and started again. It would be nice to get a grip on my emotions. But it would be nice to work in an environment with less stress which might make it easier to get a grip. ---

How was irk? Considering I got home a half-hour ago that says something. One of those nights where things just went poorly. The managers thought we had about 3k left so they let everyone go home at 9 except for a few of us faster scanners who basically volunteered to 10. Then they found another 10k that sorta got set in the wrong places. Several wrong places. They kept finding it like 1 k at a time. 10 became 11 became almost midnight. :smack: But it really helped out two of the few managers left I have any respect for and one of them may be leaving soon. So I’m beat but I am very glad it stuck it out to the end. ---

I just managed to fall down the last few stairs letting the puppy out at zero dark thirty. Skinned knees, a jagged cut on one finger that won’t stop bleeding (from what, I don’t know), and I think one toe may be dislocated or broken. Arg! ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 53 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 84 and N.O.S. for the day. This afternoon I shall go visit Miss Becky at the nursin’ home in Dawson. Other than that it’s mostly chill. Sketties 'n meatballs are on the menu. I took the sauce and meatballs outta da freezer last night. I shall make a sallit, heat up the sauce and meatballs, and toast up some cheesey garlic bread so that will all be easy. **{{{Sunny}}}** hope your injuries are not too bad after that fall and that nuttin’ is sprained or broken. **{{{StickyBuns}}}** you have a tough group to handle and I know you’re good at doin’ it all. However, if the job is causin’ you a lot of stress and strain emotionally and physically, perhaps you could look into another area of teaching. We Mumpers are behind ya whatever you decide. Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then purtification must commence if I am to go about the public today. Happy Firday Y’all! ---

**{{{Sunny}}}**. Might want to see the Dr. if the bleeding doesn’t stop or the toe really bothers you. **Sticky Buns,** tough job anytime handling kids; deep breath and keep working at it. **Wreck,** ah, the joys of parenting… Up about 6:15am, had to remember that this is Firday, because the weekend is going to be busy with soccer (5 games to coach, 2 to referee Saturday-Sunday). So we’ll see what work I can ignore today. ---

**Blurf** I am going crazy here with no irk computer and no phones. The storm was over a month ago. The dang phones at least should be irking. The network computer will never irk again as it is an antiquated system that bounces a signal off the building across the street. The storm killed an old part that is not even made anymore so until they hard wire us (it has been approved but no money) my network computer is dead. Sort of feel out of the loop. Still not many customers either as all our housing is being used for displaced families instead of tourists. **Sunny** **Sticky** and hugs to anyone who needs one. **Rosie’s** sig ---

Skinned knees, a jagged cut on one finger that won’t stop bleeding (from what, I don’t know), and I think one toe may be dislocated or broken. Arg! OUCH!!! Toe-hurts are terrible! Doing laundry and other various productive things. Weather continues reasonably warm and dry so I’m thinking of doing a bike ride tomorrow to Beaver. What can I say? I just really like Beaver. 😉 It probably isn’t a good idea since my right arm and shoulder have been a little sore all week but its not like I haven’t done the wrong thing before. Besides I want to scout a location where Da Jungle may be opening another branch ----- just in case I want to become a treasonous bastard and transfer. ---

Howdy Y’all! I’ve actually been productive this mornin’. I boiled a big chikin to make into a chikin pot pie for Sunday N.O.L. A pot pie just sounds good to me right now. Anywho, it’s done and coolin’ down. Plus I have chikin broth! Some I will use and the rest I will freeze. Turkey Day is next month and I will need broth to make cornbread dressin’. In a bit I shall change into clothin’ worthy of wearin’ in the public. I’ll grab myself a burger and then go visit Miss Becky. While I am in large and in charge Dawson, Jawja I shall also go pick up a copy of JDD’s father’s will at a local lawyer’s office to save him a trip to do that. He still irks so to do so himself would mean havin’ to take time off just to get that copy. So, I offered to be nice and do so even though it means I will have to drive an entire extra mile to do so. The sacrifices I make for my friends! 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/no-sleep-in-the-mmp/799032.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/no-sleep-in-the-mmp/799032.md?page=8)
