I think **gt **said yesterday that **bbs2k **needs a nickname. So in the tradition of totally confusing nicknames, I propose since originally the “s” stood for sweets that we call him Candy.
Taters, I think I got over the “OMG what have we done??” part actually a little bit before we signed anything. Probably in part because KeithT did all of the negotiating and I wasn’t involved in that - most of it was via email - and then they sent us the forms to sign. So I just sat in our current living room and signed a bunch of papers that KeithT handed to me. That’s not all that traumatic. But every time I think about the actual closing and all the money we have to hand over for the down payment plus all the money we’re going to need for immediate decorating stuff like shower curtains and bathmats and regular curtains and so on, I start to hyperventilate just a little.
Sorry about the pay check issues, Dotty! That sucks! Definitely time to find a new employer so you can tell this one where to go!
OK, who started this weird dream thing?? I had a somewhat disturbing dream about, um… inappropriate behavior with a coworker. But not even a good looking coworker. (There are plenty of coworkers that I wouldn’t mind having an inappropriate dream about! ) I think my sleeping mind knew I wasn’t attracted to him so the whole dream was sort of like WTF am I doing?
My manager is back at work today after an extended long weekend. So I think I’m going to actually have to be a bit productive today. Bleh. I was enjoying a couple days of goofing off!
You know I’m not a stripper right?
Oh, and my landlord has two new tenants above me. A nice couple, really sweet and all but I’m in a pickle and this question is too dumb for it’s own thread. They introduced themselves to me, but I must have been drunk or something because I couldn’t remember which one was which. Okay, I wasn’t drunk, I’m just REALLY horrible with names.
Their names are Jesse and Simone, very sexually ambiguous. Jesse can go both ways, and while I’m rather sure Simone is more effeminate I have not known enough Simones to be sure.
Morning.
Argh. I just got up, went into the kitchen, and found the creamed chicken I’d put in a tupperware sitting on the counter. Since last night. Argh. So it’s thrown out. I’m annoyed at myself for being absentminded, and Mr. Lissar for not noticing any of the four times he went into the kitchen last night. Oh, well.
I think I’ll scoot down to the fabric store, and maybe look for nursing bras. And maybe look for cute boxes for Christmas candy in Chinatown. I’ll do the laundry and cleaning when I get home. Mr. Lissar’s out for dinner with a friend tonight, so my evening is free. I’ll shunt off most of the housework until late afternoon.
Dotty, aargh. I’m glad that’s resolved. Damn stupid people. bb, if it was Simone, then it’s a girl. I think, anyway. It’s the feminine form of Simon.
Hi, everybody. I’m up and hard at work already this morning. Boo! But tomorrow is going to be a do-other-stuff day; I’m sick to death of sitting at my computer. To work. Time to sit here and goof off more properly. Besides, I have a couple shows to catch up on that I can watch online.
Other than that, I got nuttin’ this morning. It’s a clear, cool day; a good day to stay here and enjoy the sunshine through my windows and behave myself. Ta ta for now!
Haze: Fire is pretty, but bad on the porch. Douse those cigs. makes mental note to make Complicated Roommate empty his ashtray on the back porch today
FCM: Holy med mix-up Batman! I did something like that myself earlier this year (I accidentally double-dosed on fluoxetine–#1 reason why I’m not taking it anymore). Boy does that screw you up. Here’s hoping to a speedy recovery.
((hugs)) to rigs.
Best wishes for a non-banning bbs2k. You’re one of the most amusing posters here–they can’t get rid of you!
I’m putting off writing my final three papers. My excuse is that my computer is being rebuilt by Complicated Roommate, which is absolutely true. I could, however, do some of the work when I’m on campus, but I’d rather futz around on the internet. Damn my skilled avoidance techniques.
The jug has sand (litter) in it. Anyway, the jug wasn’t the problem - it was probably me being careless in how I ashed my cigarette. :smack:
LiLi, that happens all the time at my house. Nothing gets put into the fridge unless I remember to do so - Cloud Maiden is more or less a space cadet when it comes to these matters.
That’s it, I’m cutting it all off. My hair is driving me nuts. I look like Medusa this morning. Why can’t women shave their heads? :mad: I was growing it out, but I just can’t stand it anymore.
Then, in the elevator, I noticed the gang sign. It’s teeny-tiny, but definitely there. Should I mention it? On the one hand, it definitely sends the wrong message, on the other hand, I don’t want people looking at me funny because I noticed it and recognized what it was.
**Shadow ** - I’ve seen women with shaved heads - some look right attractive. As long as you don’t have a lumpy head or a birthmark in the shape of Alfred Hitchcock or scales or something…
Oh, yeah, back from jury duty - it was a pretty quick day today - maybe 8 cases - over in about an hour. The donuts were exceptionally yum, tho. Then I ran to WalMart and got the stuff I needed, plus some more. And I came home to a surprise - **FCD ** is here. He went in for a meeting that was cancelled, so he came back to crash since he had a bad night last night. I think the meds are working their way out of his system, which is good.
I also talked to my baby - she and her fiance are going to check out their potential wedding venue this afternoon. It sounds like it’ll be perfect and not obscenely expensive, so yay! I still wish she’d wait another year, but it’s not my call, is it? Life was so much easier when I could tell her what to do. Doggone kids growing up and becoming adults.
No idea what the rest of today holds. We shall see…
Holy cow I have been productive today. Oh and 3 weeks tomorrow I leave to go home for Christmas
The only real semi-urgent must do I have left is to complete my presentation for next week in Denver. They gave us a handy template so I all I have to do is input various data and it is only 15 slides - 4 of which are done.
Well idiot contractors from hell will hopefully turn up this afternoon to check out my heating.
Then after work I need to go to the mall - I need a new filter for my fridge, Christmas present for my sis and I will pick up my Dad’s new laptop we are getting him for Christmas.
Okay, haze, you could always solve your ashtray problem by quitting. Just sayin is all.
Is it too late to shop online for Xmas? I was thinking it would make life easier then remembered Monday was supposed to be the big online day. Is that cause it’s the last day where you can depend on getting your stuff before xmas?
li-li, just my humble opinion but I found nursing bras to be an expensive waste. Unless you need big honking cages for the girls, just look for some front closing bras. YMMV
**Puggy ** - I’m sure you’ve got plenty of time to shop on line. In think the news makes a big deal about Cyber Monday because supposedly when everyone gets back to work after Thanksgiving, they go on line to shop. I expect any site where you’d shop will tell you when to expect delivery.
You need my address before you get started with that?
Pugs, I work for a catalog-based retailer, and I can tell you that you’ve still got weeks to order stuff online. Usually with regular shipping, you can order up to a couple weeks before Xmas and with express shipping up to around the 20th-21st. Obviously, that will vary by what company you’re ordering from, but you should be safe ordering online now.
Cyber Monday is what **FCM **said, plus there’s the element of people ordering the stuff online that they couldn’t find in stores on Black Friday. We had a record-setting day on Monday. Go us! Yay!
