Sorry about the room Nuts. Maybe one of the others will work out for ya. Also, sorry about the job BooFae. That just means there’s a better one out there for ya.
I have done next to nuttin’ today so far. I’ve answered a few emails, entered some case notes and taken a couple of phone calls. It’s quiet. Thus I have decided that’s a good sign maybe I should call it quits earlyish today. I am seriously contemplatin’ a noon departure.
So goes the news from swampland.
I hope some room will work out for me- I don’t fancy trying to live in a van with two fishtanks and 3 mice, even if I could sell the writeup as an extremely low budget sitcom script.
On the upside, it looks like I’ve got a phone interview on monday, and not for the security company either… Something’s got to work out sometime!
You’re only allowed to live in a van if it’s got a barbarian queen riding a polar bear painted on the side.
A mermaid riding a unicorn would also be acceptable.
Assuming that “van” means the same thing in the United States as Great Britain, you are only allowed to live in a van with aquariums if you have killer shock absorbers.
Howdy from da cave. Just couldn’t see myself stayin’ at irk any longer. Not to worry though, I’m signed in to irk, the big difference bein’ I can be dressed in tshirt and shorts at da cave. So for a couple hours at least I’ll deal with electronic paperirk stuff plus I have some “online trainin’” I’m supposed to get done within the next week so I could do that I suppose. Life is hard. First things first though and that’s N.O.L. I am a bear who lunches!
I wish they had telecommuting at my irkplace. I would SO love that
Ugh I has the ick today.
waiting for my settlement date, I think it will be earlier than the 16th.
Then I need to get my insurance quote, find a title company and get all the other crap done.
So I guess it is going through but I’m not counting on anything until the keys are in my hand.
Swampy, more like seeing you rubbing the N.O.TP. on your face.
Flytrap you think the fishes won’t like an earthquake?
Sorry **Nuts **and BooFae
Well morning irk is done
now for some N.O.L. and get ready to go sit with PiddlePup
Back. I was enroute when my crabber changed his return time to 30 minutes earlier. Not a huge deal - I still arrived at the dock about 10 minutes early, and he came in about 15 minutes after his predicted time. We did our entries quick and dirty, and I was on my way. He’s a young guy, so he doesn’t talk and talk and talk and talk like the older dudes.
Afterwards, I filled the car, stopped at Lowe’s for 2 broom handles, then went to WalMart for kitty litter and a couple other things. And now I’m finishing a late lunch.
**sari **- we always let our realtors suggest the title company - dunno how smart that is, but we’ve never had a problem.
Stoopit temp is creeping up on 90°. I am not amused. C’mon autumn!!!
Mr. Newton certainly won’t. 
Decide to go to the shop and get some cake. Think ‘I’ve not had that tinned sponge pudding in ages- I’ll have that and make custard with it’.
Buy it.
Get home, realise why I haven’t eaten anything tinned in a while- tin opener is broken.
Attempt to open tin with knife.
Fail, breaking glass and cutting finger (on glass) in process.
Give up.
Clear up broken glass.
Sulk.
I telecommute, except I do it the other way around. I telecommute home each day, to chat with my friends and family and loved ones, every day I’m on the boat. I also telecommute to The Dope. I have yet to visit The Straight Dope physical manifestation, somewhere in Chicago I reckon.
FCM the realtor gave me a few but I guess it’s the law, I have to choose. I am looking for one that does Washington county and Anne Arundel county so I can have settlement close to here. The seller won’t be there, she lives in Florida, the mortgage company won’t be there, they are in California.
Things sure have changed.
I think the settlement can be moved up as early as the 3rd or 4th.
I have a million calls to make.
At least now Sah-son is showing some interest in moving. He is concerned that my bedroom should be on the first floor so the dog can sleep in my room. Sah-dog won’t do stairs.
I told him it’s a little late now as I choose the house with two floors, but we will work it out. The living room could be a bedroom, it has doors to close it off, or maybe if I put the harness and leash on the dog will do the stairs if he feels like he has some support.
If I can get settlement early in the month it will be great since the HFH is gone the first two weeks. I can get a lot of my stuff packed and out before she gets back.
Last night I dreamed I was packing and ants and mice were getting in the boxes.
yuk!
Irk is done for the week. YAY!!! Since I’m sans adult supervision, I wonder what I should do first. I know! A load of towels! Partay on!
“Doing a load of towels” - is that some sort of code or euphemism for some weird gay thing??? :dubious:
Just finished an email to my main handler with a few questions and copies of photos I took of a couple of landing sites. I also got a call from my Dr office to set up a physical - they can’t take me till November!! Yoiks - suddenly it’s a busy office! I am not pleased about that. When I first became a patient, you could get in within days. Now, not so much. Oh well…
Time to finish some tea towels.
“Thanks” for the reminder about all that laundry I need to do. All three sections of the hamper are near overflow. Amazing how much laundry two adults can produce in a week or less.
Bad bear! NO picnic basket! 
Yeah, it’s code for “Dang! I ain’t got any clean towels almost!” 
Towels in the dryer, unmentionables, tshirts and shorts in the washer. The fun never stops!
Just another fabulous gay day of domesticity. I did my towels on Wednesday, so I’d have the weekend free of laundry. Good thing as Faire season revs up tomorrow.
Yes, gotti the towels are now f-aaaaaa-bu-lous-ly washed, dried and folded. As I post my dainties are in the dryer. 
I could wash and dry shirts and pants but gotta save sump’n for tomorrow. One must pace oneself.
Also, in the interest of Mumper ejookayshun, I present to you how to protect yourselves from fallout.
I just dropped off 8 more towels at the store. I sold 3 last month, giving me a check for $13 and change. woohoo! :rolleyes:
Sketties for supper, because I don’t feel like cooking a real meal.
Don’t go Timothy Treadwell on us. :rolleyes:
