Well, poo, I just talked to a friend of mine and found out that her husband is being a total sneaky jackass, again. Ugh.
strobes around the room
Spaz I’m not sure Abby or the Annies would approve of you strobbin’ around the place. 
Welcome back Missy! This corner of the universe missed ya.
Leftovers for dindin. The good thing is they’re all gone. The bad thing is I have to figure out dindin for tomorrow. I think I’ll take some burgers out of the freezer and grill 'em. After they’re thawed, of course. Maybe some sweet N.O.T. fries to go with 'em. That sounds yum!
JDDBro says he’s feelin’ some better, so all the prayers, good thoughts, etc must be workin’! We do good work!
Eh, the strobin’ keeps me from thinking too much about how miserable I am with my job situation. Seriously, I hate my job. I love my coworkers but I hate my job. And I’m so overwhelmed with the crap associated with finding a new one that I keep spinning my wheels and getting nothing done. There has to be a better way.
Made it to Atlanta! SatNavWoman aka Trudy took me through a really realy dodgy part of town to avoid traffic from the airport . I was a little scared I have to admit :o
And now it appears that the person who registers us for these Career type event things is an idiot for many reasons. I don’t need to be here til Friday I may get home Thursday and instead of trying to get a response out of the idiot who registers us for these events I will go straight to the source aka Career Services Director.
I hate hate hate when people do a half assed job out of plain laziness. :mad:
I am still sick. 
Early night methinks not like I have anything else to do
Always knew you were a bright person. Strobe away.
So, will you soon be reporting to us how many jobs you’ve applied for, Spaz? Just sayin’. 
I was wondering where you’d gone off to, too, Missy.
Feel better, mmmmmmmm. And boo on being sent for the wrong amount of time!
Almost forgot: Grover Old Spice Video
Allergies and sinuses are bothering me. Make them stop? kthnxbai
Off to sleepy bye.
Hugs.

My precious metal clay arrived today! Hopefully I’ll be able to mess around with it at least a little bit tomorrow.
Canes Corner was fun, the Booster Club got $218 in raffle money, and I got in a group photo with Tim Gleason.
I could empty the recycling bin on the floor, and label it “Typical Sunday Morning”
Hey, Missy!
I have a lunch in the morning and it’s in Cleveland so I have to leave early. So… WHY AM I STILL AWAKE???
I’ve got an idea for the next MMP! Can I volunteer? 
I guess this is why I’m still awake.
Of course! (And I’m only awake so that I can respond, right?)
I look at it the other way 'round: if a scene is good enough for the promo, why not for the movie?
Mom is still alive. I am still alive. It has been confirmed that the unusual (not really what I’d expect him to bring me, not something I would have picked) gift I got from Littlebro’s latest trip was due to a motherly intervention, rather than his idea. His idea was much better in my book (a T-shirt with a picture of the Atomium). Sigh. Is it next Monday yet?
She’s threatening with spending at least one month here come Spring. I’m seriously considering asking a family lawyer what exactly are the duties of an adult child toward a parent, because I don’t want to commit abandonment but I’m also not interested in reaching a point where splicing my veins open, in cuts thin enough for microscope slides, seems to be a Good Idea. Can I crawl under my desk now?
I got a document from a coworker I supervise, reviewed it and sent it back. He’s put stuff in there that we’d already said Would Not Be Done, and he has triplicated what he’s saying. Instead of explaining things once, with asides when there’s a difference for certain locations (which would be less than 10% of the total points), he’s explained everything three times. Now my boss is telling me to do the full rewrite and just explain it to him… so, what happened to “it’s his job”? And I guess I’m being perjudiced here by being a person who doesn’t learn well from explanations, but how is he supposed to learn to do it better if he doesn’t do it?
Happy Hump Day and g’morning all! Afternoon to some. 
Up and caffeinating, ready to head in to work. At least it’s Wednesday, eh?
Hugs all around; I’ve had a bit of insomnia recently, but have been trying to avoid getting all the way up and coming online, which is my usual m.o. Not a good one when you have to go to work in the morning.
Hope everyone has a good day!
Turns out the reason my coworker had some stuff in triplicate was Orders (cellphones are a great thing sometimes, he’s not in at the office today but he’s at work in another location, so I dropped him an SMS and he rang me). But it’s from a boss who’s since left, so I’m going to de-triplicate it and then let him sort the rest.
That particular boss liked things in multi-plicate a tad too much for my taste…
Oh noes! My interwebz at home is broked! No idea what 'im indoors has unplugged or switched off, but I have no 'net at home. I must check the cable that runs from the street to the house in case one of the cats has chewed through it!
In other news, work is suspiciously busy, that means that a bunch of med students are being clueless. Still, it pays my wages, right?
(((((Annie and Mr Onimous)))))
Blurf.
Three frikkin A frikkin M, and I get paged for an automated fahr alarm at the Cottonfield County High Screwel. False alarm.
I’ve been in the department 5 years now, and I have yet to go to an automated alarm that actually detected flame and/or smoke. :mad:
In other news, I wannabe a kid again.
They call that a still alarm, because you still have to go. My smokeater sister doesn’t care much for them either.
I have no idea what today is. Last weekend was opening weekend for the Faire, Monday was a regular work day, Tuesday was at Faire, Wednesday is no Faire and no work, Thursday is another Faire day, Friday is back to work, this weekend is at Faire, next Monday will be a work day, next Tuesday will be away at an educational seminar.
So, I’m at home. Not working. Must be either Wednesday or I’m in deep trouble.
I’ve been trying to mow the lawn by pure force of will. Not working yet. Guess I need to actually go forth and put blades to blades.
Today is Day-after-la-Hispanidad humpday. And yes, that makes it a Wednesday so apparently you’re not in deep trouble.
This is my first full five-day week in ages (since we had to use up our time off by the end of Sept plus then we took a long weekend the 3rd-4th). I’m not liking this working five days thing at all.
And I was here until 6 on Monday and 5:30 last night. This does not make me happy. But the previously mentioned complaining coworker asked if I’d stay until she finished a particular step last night. I sent her the stuff she needed for that at 2:45. She started it at 5:02. I really don’t think I should have to stay just because she can’t get her part started during normal working hours. But since she’s already complaining about my behavior, I don’t want to make it worse (even though my manager’s ok with my working at home after 5 pm). Plus, she’s not going to be working on these projects much longer… she’s training the new person on this one and the next one. So… I’ll play nice for now and then hope that the new person doesn’t pick up her bad habits. But I was still very grrr by the time I left last night.
Good luck fixing the broken interwebz, boofae!
Good job not killing your mother or yourself, Nava. Maybe you could invite your mother down in the spring and then have a sudden work “emergency” that takes you out of the country? 
Sorry about the insomnia, herbs. I’ve been there and it sucks. 
Sorry for the allergies, gt. Hope it gets better soon! (Does that mean we’re hoping for freezing temperatures?)
Glad you got to Atlanta safely, mmmmmms. If you’re looking for something to do tonight, the Stuff You Should Know podcast guys are having a trivia night tonight. It sounds like fun, but I’m no where near Atlanta! John Hodgman from the Daily Show (and the PC from the Mac ads) is going to be there too.
