oh i am pissed
for months my computer has been asking me to update to the cloud
finally i did and somehow ask became my new search engine
i don’t want ask i liked it the way it was
i got rid of ask and then i got astromenda what a bitch getting rid of that piece of shit
now all my settings are fucked up
so much for the cloud
i’m sure i did something stupid and there is an easy fix somewhere
but i can’t stand the way everything looks now
Fortunately I do see little of the massive nutjobbery that takes place on teh intartoobz, well except what I willfully wade into here on the Dope. I am a loud and proud liberal on FB so I am going to get some of that kind of thing. Its scale took me back yesterday but it was short lived.
Tis rainy with thunderboomers here in SE Tejas, it is kinda soothing and pleasant.
Sari one week, yeah
Have a great day all
Jim
Which browser do you have? There is usually a icon picture thingie next to the search engine with a tiny arrow. Click the arrow, and you can select your search engine.
Thanks Fkytrap
I have FireFox. I got rid of ask and astromenda finally.
Ask was easy, astromenda was not.
Now I am slowly changing all my settings back to what they were, at least the ads are gone.
I sat down to pay all my doctor bills and found out one has been paid off. I guess insurance covered it. I don’t know why it is covered now, it’s an older bill and had been submitted before but who am I to argue?
Yeah, it’s pouring here in Dallas, and I played hookey from my desk for about five minutes to sit outside under the awning and just … smell the rain. If that makes me weird, then I don’t care. Smells GOOD! Especially after a long, hot summer. (Like we get any other kind.)
Tomorrow: no alarm clock. Looking forward to it.
Hear Hear
I am so glad to have a break from the heat as well and the rain does smell good.
Jim
Looks like rain here, too.
Howdy from irk. So far not to bad. No payday whineage. The ones who didn’t do their hours or messed up their timesheets know better than that especially since they now know I know what happened even before the whineage begins. Kinda fun to say, "yes, I know…I saw the payroll report where you (fill in the blank). Shuts 'em right up it does.
I want rain. Hopefully that happens tonight, tomorrow and the next couple days.
Ah well, back to irk!
Happy FIRDAY, all!
My Dad turns 85 tomorrow, yes, eighty five years old! He seems in good health and he’s certainly in good spirits, having a new friend and all. I sure am glad that my Dad has finally seemed to learn my TMI line, because he used to cross it all the time. LOL But honestly I am glad that he has found someone and is happy with them. I’m going to call him up and sing Happy Birthday to him tomorrow some time. 
I missed posting this yesterday - 13 years ago, I was at work, preparing travel orders for one of my bosses–he was heading to St. Louis too, Swampy, sometime in the next week or two. That was truly a horrible day for federal employees, especially those in the DC area. Even the news reports were all jumbled up, at first everyone thought there was a plane headed to the Mall area for the Capitol building or the White House even, then we heard that the Pentagon had been hit. The thing that I remember most from that day was trying to get home! I ended up on one of the small county buses, one that wound through a lot of the narrow side streets – there were a lot of speed bumps on those streets too. LOL The driver must have been just as scared as everyone else, they were driving that thing like a bat out of hell, and we were bumping over the speed bumps. If I had been 10, I might have actually enjoyed that, looking back on it. I had been unable to contact home, where my kids already were, because the phone lines were all tied up. I was so relieved, as were my kids, when I walked in the front door that day.
ABQ is nice and cool today, believe it or not. Temps will be in the 70s today. We might also see some rain. Happy Friday everyone!
Swampy, I was not paid today. Whine. Bitch. Moaaaaannnn. Grumble. No, I did not see any payroll report, either. Grumble, grumble.
There, now don’t you feel better?
P.S. You can pay me for this service.
I was paid today but my paycheck sucks, does that count?
You’d think the closer I get to settlement day you’d think I’d be getting happier and mellow. Instead I am just getting more and more angry. Maybe all is coming to a head.
For those who could use a good laugh, here.
I can always use a laugh
I can, too - that got a chuckle out of me. Thanks!
Happy Friday afternoon, everybody!
Howdy from da cave! Let the weekend begin! Cold beerverage in hand. Waitin’ on pizza to be brought by OYKW. Life be good!
Spidey, take it up with payroll. 
Ugh. I believe I shall need all the Blurf this weekend. I have the most irksome of irk starting 11.30pee emm tonight, finishing probably 8ayy emm tomorrow morning, repeat on Sattiday night.
Oh, and I work for the kind of person who sets a shift like that then tries to phone me repeatedly at 4pee emm (probably because he either got mixed up about what shift he’d set me on, or someone else hadn’t shown for the 4 o’clock shift and he decided to switch). Unsurprisingly, I don’t know, ‘cos I didn’t answer. He will probably bitch at me about that.
It’ll be overnight securitatin’ at a festival which promises drugged up drunken horrible people.
I wouldn’t have agreed to the shift, but I’ve been offered so little irk lately that I’ve not made enough to pay the rent for two months in a row.
I really, really need a new job.
Sorry Nuts, trust me I feel your pain {{{{{{{Hugs}}}}}}

For some reason I keep thinking it’s Saturday and it’s Friday. As busy as irk is today, tomorrow is going to be a zoo.
Picture yourself near a stream.
Birds are singing in the crisp, cool mountain air.
Nothing can bother you here.
No one knows this secret place.
You are in total seclusion from that place called the world.
The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity.
The water is clear.
You can easily make out the face of the person whose head you’re holding under the water.
There now, feeling better?
