You hush. I know that day is coming. No reason to invoke it ahead of time.
Blurf.
My givadammer is on life support today.
Oh yes you have! 
Note to self: Add **BBBobbio **to The List.
You were my coach!
Just for the record, this is not Snark at FCM Day!!!
I don’t need to stay here and take this abuse. I can get abused pretty much anywhere!!!
Speaking of lists, I got my initial MELD score yesterday. MELD scores range from a low of 6 to a high of 45, with the average liver transplant happening on someone that drew 24.
I scored an 8. Harrumph. I knew I’d be low because I’m not that sick yet, but my guess was 10ish. Translation: come back when you turn yellow…
This does leave me in a good position for getting the liver fixed, though.
But we give you extra special Mumper abuse!
Up, caffeinated, off today. They are painting the building, so I expect another day of Gordie barking himself unconscious today.
Happy Thorsday!
It’s a chilly 36 degrees out with a high of 44 predicted.
I have a dr appt today, down in the armpit. I’ll find out if I can go off blood thinners long enough to have surgery. Then I meet with the other doctor on Moonday to talk about surgery. I hate to get surgery this month, however my deductible has been met for the year so it would make sense to do it now, if I can.
I’m going to drive down and back today, I may stop at my mothers to pick up a few things to bring back but I’m not staying over. Then I go back down on Sunday to spend the night because my Moonday appt is so early in the morning.
I find it amazin’ how some folks are just soooooo anxious to be a part of our services here at irk, that they call multiple times per week. Then, when I can make it happen, these same folks cannot be bothered to return a phone call. We shall see if the “if I don’t hear from you by two p.m. this afternoon, I will assume you are no longer interested and the position will be offered to someone else and you’re name removed from the waiting list” messages I’ve been leavin’ will prompt action.
Do try to contain the envy you’re feelin’ because you are not me.
First on four!
(That’s pretty much all I’ve got.)

This is an error message I receive from time to time for one of the many irk related programs I deal with on a daily basis. I have, of course, no idea what any of it means. What I get out of it is I should meditate on “XID: 837193171”, which does not seem very meditative, or go varnish the cache server, which sounds messy.
Back from Food Lion. We needed milk. I got a couple other things - to the tune of $41. Grocery shopping is fraught with perils!!!
Well its only a three pounder but --------- “Don’t let your baseball go in mean Mr Kopeks yard or he’ll shoot it at your ass with his cannon!”
I miss Food Lions. Not only did they have great stuff (especially baked goods) but you never knew when the “60 Minutes” crew would show up for the latest expose’.
Did three extra hours yesterday and feel it a bit the AM. Didn’t realize how out of shape I was getting. Still enjoying the job; some folks pay to go to the gym – I’m getting paid for doing the same basic thing!
Nuts, glad to hear about the post office gig. If your regular security work isn’t giving you enough hours, your boss oughtn’t to complain! Of course, people are rarely so reasonable 
Yum, molasses cookies, EmilyG. Dunked or undunked, those are top-notch.
I’m biting my virtual nails today. Found out that, starting in January, if we don’t claim Stepkid Two on our taxes, she will lose eligibility for her (full) tuition remission at my university (which she currently attends) - to the tune of about $90,000 over the next 3 years. Unfortunately, her mama is bound to kick up an almighty fuss over us getting to claim Stepkid 2, who pays out of pocket for her own college expenses. Mama may not agree to the tax claiming even if ZombieSpouse plays fair and discloses the new strictures to negotiate the deal. I’m really worried that Stepkid 2 is about to get majorly screwed - she definitely cannot afford 90K in loans if her parents won’t focus more on her welfare than their spite. I know Stepkid 2 is 20, and how ZombieSpouse and Ex handle this is their decision, but it’s hard to just sit by and watch it happen. :eek:
I bought my sister a goat for Christmas. Well, it won’t live in her house. I donated a goat in her name to Heifer International. My sister loves goats, what can I say. I’d invite her here, but she doesn’t understand the interwebz. I’m trying to get her to read email more than once a week…
Too bad for him. You need to survive, and he’s not doing much for you on that front.
Day off, sort of slept in (DH had to get up for an appointment, which triggered the furry alarm clock to start pestering for breakfast). Got homework to work on, but otherwise it’s probably going to be a lazy day, and the various piles of clutter, etc., can just hush.
Yay, nuts on the post office gig!
{{{Gordie}}}
One more day of rolling out of bed at 5:15 a.m. I’m still getting the sleeping hours squared back up. Last night, just as I drifted off, my neighbor across the hall started her pounding on the floor for imaginary noise coming from downstairs (this has happened before when I was actually downstairs visiting that neighbor - there was no TV or radio even playing), then slamming her door to run downstairs and pound on his and reverse the process. Once again, I texted the landlord. :mad:
Missed this before -------- as a fellow sortation center (if different employer) worker we’ll have to trade notes and 3-5 ADC sortation schemes! I’m already going on week 2.2 and finding myself not liking the color tan as much as I used to but ours is mostly boxes. Pick-off and sorting are fun but waterspiders (wrapping the pallets in plastic) is not for backs as aged as mine.
I got so damn lucky – fired and then hired here like 4 days later. Yeah, it may just be until the end of January but its a start-up facility and I figure its a foot in the door.
It’s amazin’ what a semi-ugly vm threat can do. All but one of the folks who received the vm I mentioned earlier have responded. Appointments are bein’ set or have already been set for them for next week. [del]Minions[/del] Assistants, and I will be travelin’ around some next week. I get the north and west forties, and they get the east and south forties. The one who did not respond is now on the not interested list as 'tis after two p.m. Jawja time.
MOOOOOOM $41 for milk? Did it come from unicorns?
