You misunderstood - Waldork = Waldorf, the teeming pile of big box stores where Rt 5 and US301 meet. 
And on that note, I’m heading out. The sheets are on the line and as soon as I get Higgs into her crate, I’m gone.
oh duh :smack:
I never think about Waldorf, I’ve been there a few times. My mother worked there for a while.
They make a mean salad.
Gaaah.
Got home to find another letter from the jobcentre- apparently the last letter they sent was not supposed to be the decision letter for a sanction, and they’ve somehow decided that my reason for not attending work programme meetings (I didn’t receive any letters notifying me about them) was valid for the first letter, but not for the second. So yeah, they’ve decided to try stick me on a 4 week sanction. I’m appealing, because that seems just plain stupid- either it’s fair enough to not go to a meeting because you weren’t informed about it or it isn’t, but for it to be OK only half the time makes no sense at all. Either way, I’m pretty well screwed for a while, as it’ll take at least a week for them to look at the appeal, which is after the date my next payment’s due.
I’m not fully convinced any letters were actually sent- as apparently the housemate’s boyfriend, who’s also been dealing with the same people has also not been getting appointment letters, and the royal mail aren’t that bad.
The ‘Work Programme’ people are pretty inept (I’ve had a lot of misinformation from them, including giving me the wrong dates for a course both before doing it, and afterwards confirming my attendance, as well as incorrectly telling me the card for the course I’m currently on would be paid for). There’s no penalties for them if a client doesn’t turn up, after all- there’s just a less busy day.
I really don’t need more stress at the moment, and this is going to be a nightmare to deal with, with no guarantees.
Ps. Yay for baby killies, Flytrap! Always wanted to keep them, but they’re hard to find here- especially females.
Are you in Britain, Filbert?
Howdy from da cave! Told y’all I was cuttin’ out early and I did. YAY!!! Don’t even have to cook cause it’s pizza night. I said I’d grill some burgers but OYKW says he has a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for pizza and, hey, he’s buyin’ so I’ll let him have his way this time. 
flytrap’s in trouble, NEENER! NEENER! NEENER! 
Looks like it could get stormy again in a while. Tomorrow may be the same way as well as next week includin’ the Fourth. Speakin’ of which ribs and chikin shall be smoked on ye olde smoker. YUM!
What does it mean, “Neener neener neener”?
Back from erranding. I’m just finishing my lunch. I also pulled the sheets off the line because it looks like rain. Since they’re now inside, it won’t rain - such is life.
I think the rest of the afternoon will be spent knitting and watching TV, just because. The other day I started going thru my queue in Netflix and I dumped 2 series after only a few minutes. They were nothing like the blurbs suggested. We’ll see what I can find to amuse myself.
It’s the taunting chant, like “Nya nya nya nya nya nya!”
We actually had a thread about it a while ago, but I’m too lazy to look it up.
I love this movie, In and Out with Kevin Kline.
The Dance clip is my favorite
Watch and laugh!! NOW DAMMIT
Here’s the thread: I Know Something You Don't Know! [Melody of kids' teasing songs] - Factual Questions - Straight Dope Message Board
Yup- the South West of England, to be precise.
Ok… this is just getting weird.
I just realised there are two (men’s) tshirts- neither of which belong to me- on a chair in my bedroom. On top of a file I left there this morning. My housemate left for work before I went out today, and hasn’t been back in since.
What the hell is going on? Why would anyone break into my room and dump some freshly laundered tshirts in there?
I can only assume it’s the decorators- but why would they do that? Why would anyone do that?
The landlord is coming! The landlord is coming!
The agenda is a couple of heavy repairs and improvements I can’t do myself and he can’t afford to pay a contractor to do. The upshot is day 2 of housecleaning, including the dread shampooing of carpets, which is done. Now to clean the bathroom and to mop the kitchen floor. 
Hell of a way to start a vacation. :grumble:
HEE! Apes Made me giggle.
I hit the ground running this morning and didn’t stop until just a few minutes ago when I sat down and opened up the internets. I’m going to have a cup of tea and enjoy the fact that no one’s going to need me to communicate across departments while keeping my own mess running for the next fourteen hours.
Good *Lord *it was busy!
Cornwall or Devon? I didn’t get to see much with no car, but I remember both being beautiful (did favor Cornwall though). Have you been to Tintagel?
Pizza is ingested. Tstorms/apocalypse all around and headed this way. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH is in effect until nine p.m.
We had a noisy t-storm go thru and screw with our power, then sun, and now it’s overcast again - possibly a bit more rain in the offing.
I finished a hat and started another - much knittage will ensue tonight.
Well that is because you are fabulous!
