Happy Earth Day to you.

Blurf. Blurfity blurf blurf.
Waiting on a phonecall from Mr Rebo. He’s supposed to call the guy at 8:00. He emailed him last night saying, “Background check results are in. Call me in the morning.”
AAARRRGGHH!! The waiting is killing us. And I’m getting arthritis from my crossed appendages.
Ok, everyone! Stand down, and massage those aching fingers!
Mr Rebo got the job!!! Thanks all of you for the good vibes, it was much appreciated! He starts tomorrow.
:::takes a deep breath, and blows out slowly:::
Great news, Rebo and many congrats to Mr Rebo!
I am so pleased I can uncross everything now, it was very uncomfortable having to hop to the pub at lunchtime!
Congrats to Mr. Rebo, I think. Starts on Firday? He may deserve condolences instead…
ETA:
That’s fantastic news, Rebo. I’m so glad.
Another sucky day at work full of bullshit and games. Saw a job I may apply for. The problem is that I don’t really like the chief of that section and he’s a total pain in the butt. If I were to qualify, it’d be a promotion, but I’m not quite sure it’d be worth all pain that guy entails.
Decisions, decisions…
Gratz to:
Mr. Rebo on account of the new job,
Haze on account of a burfday,
mmmmmm on account of a different burfday (her own, ya know),
kai on being alive
And all that jazz.
I should be working on my diss. Instead, I’m stressing
Howdy Y’all! In a much better mood today. The sinuses are not so bad. Irk is still irksome but hey, it’s only eight hours a day. I have decided to just go, do my time and leave. No worries when I’m not there.
Yay for Mr. Rebo!
Howdy kai! Come play/vent/whatever whenever ya feel like it. It’s what we’re all about.
Glad for the better night LiLi.
Nava don’t be comin’ in here dissin’. We won’t have it!
Happy birthday backatcha Lieu, you bunnyhugger you.
Dindin shall be country fried steak and gravy, steamed cabbage, smashed N.O.T., butter beans and cornbread cause da bear is hongry for some downhome vittles.
Ok, should go get started on stuff.
Later Y’all!
I saw the dress code memo today - it’s not too terrible. Pretty much says no spaghetti straps/tank tops, no super revealing clothes, no underwear as outerwear, no workout clothes, no raggedy, worn jeans, no flip flops or athletic shoes or clompy work boots. If you have a meeting with a mucky-muck, wear a suit. They’d prefer business casual the rest of the time, but jeans are OK as long as they’re not faded or tatty.
But my cube neighbor got inspired anyway. He took a demotivator frame, added a photo of our oldest engineer - the guy’s skinny, late-60s, white-haired-and-mustache - dressed in a wig, a crown, a blue dress with a pink boa and open-toed shoes. The caption reads: *Dress Code - Because engineers don’t know how to dress themselves. * It’s a hoot!!
Tonight I pack. Tomorrow I head south. I wish I could take my sweetie with me, but he can’t handle more than half an hour in the car at a time, so 6 hours on the interstate would wipe him out. Plus he’d have to amuse himself while I was at my conference. So he’ll be staying home, bored out of his tree.
And as of Sunday, I’m back as a GS employee. NSPS will cease to be at our organization. Makes me no nevermind either way…
Yay, Mr. Rebo!!!
Yay for payday, Puggy!!!
Yay for being almost Firday!!!
That’s all I’ve got now…
Dindin is et, dishes are washed, bear is tahred.
Have a safe trip MOOOOOOM. Try not to stop at every Stuckey’s along the way. That many pecan logs would not be good for you.
FCM, NSPS goes away in June at my organization. Doesn’t affect me, because I was never under it.
Yay Mr. Rebo!!!
Happy Earth Day to you too, lieu! 
Go ahead, Bobbio, call me a bunnyhugger!!! I dare ya! ::Hides supersoaker:: 
Would the position be less stressful for you, Taters? Is it possible that the chief would treat you differently (i.e. better) if you were his employee? I’ve had bosses who were a pain to everyone else, but were actually great to work for (current boss trends in that direction).
Dress code sounds pretty similar to ours, FCM. Does it mention shower shoes? We always thought that was funny. Flip flops aren’t allowed under our dress code and they were very careful to include a number of names for them. Made us giggle. We always thought they should resort to pictures, kind of like Glamour magazine’s do’s and don’ts.
Things to cheer people up:
-
Comments I’ve seen say this was CGI, which seems rather likely, so don’t be talking about cruelty to animals.
-
Today’s geeky TED video (6 minutes or so long). The Marshmallow Challenge. I’ve participated in similar team-building exercises that pretty much made the same point. I loved the statistics, though.
There was more, but I think I need food first…
Back later.

YAY for all the good newsez.
Bunnyhugger!
