Well, I don’t usually post to the MMP, though I do usually at least skim through… but I’m overwhelmed with guilt. You see, I don’t actually live in San Diego… I’ve been living a lie! I live [here](http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=escondido&sll=33.153586,-117.036265&sspn=0.001208,0.002167&ie=UTF8&ll=33.159685,-117.037611&spn=0.038657,0.069351&z=14&om=0). **Runs out of thread sobbing uncontrollably…** ---

I’ve never been ashamed of the fact that I live on Lawn Guylandt (that’s Long Island, NY, for the uninitiated). Plug me in, **beebs**. I’ll be honest and state I am too tired to read the whole thread, so I am throwing yays, boos, belated b-day wishes, and other appropriate reactions around with wild and reckless abandon (because tame and sensible abandon just doesn’t cut it these days). Grab whichever one suits you. I am off to bed early tonight. I’m still battling insomnia. ---

[QUOTE=eleanorigby] Weird. We’re on the world’s longest break from class. Going on 20 minutes and counting. I’m arguing in class with these 20-somethings who think–well, never mind. back to class go I. More later, if I remember or have the ambition to write it all out. [/QUOTE] Do tell! Hunger is imminent, but food is allllllllll the way across the apartment. Nuts. ---

You see, I don’t actually live in San Diego… I’ve been living a lie! [/QUOTE] Get thee behind us, Satan! No Escondidites welcome! (just kidding. We hang with anyone). **Hazel** –the class was about [insert vague, nebulous management stuff here]. I contend that trimming dead wood is a good thing. The younger folks are all about counseling and fifteenth chances and avoiding confrontation (generalizing). We “argued” back and forth a bit (online) and so I played my trump card: IL is an at will state. They (2-3 of them) came back with, “but you could get sued!”, to which I replied, “that’s why annual reviews are so important.” And we left it there. I think it’s age related. I have little patience for dead weight anymore. Work shouldn’t be hell, but it’s work. You’re not here to gossip, waste time, play or shop–get to work! \ And stop taking my stapler!\* I now have 3 of the 5 Roman shades hung. It’s boring to hang shades. Gah. I made that Pioneer Woman’s chicken tonight. I used breasts (chesticles?) with bones and skin. I did garlic salt and onions. The chicken was moist, but bland. Next time: oregano and mystery ingredient (haven’t thought of it yet). I only used one stick of butter and didn’t dip the chicken into it, I merely brushed it on. \*this is funny, since I’ve never worked in an office at all. But libraries have a nasty habit of hiring then NEVER firing. Not good. ---

Wisconsin checking in here. Oconto Falls. Huh? you mean nobody just automatically knows where that is? Oh all right, [here is where I live](http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=44.869496,-88.141594&spn=0.059005,0.10849&z=13&om=0) . Just because I’m in Northeast Wisconsin, please do not assume I am a Packer fan. (Yucky football). Is it Humpday yet? that’s one of my days off this week. I guess that I ought to be grateful for full time hours this week. Next week is only 3 1/2 days. Oh the joys of retail. I don’t have a mandatory Tar-jay exit fee, they pay ME to show up. Although I can rarely make it out of there without buying _something_, usually a must have, like shampoo or TP. ---

Crazy day here more visitors to entertain and I STILL have more appraisals to do. :rolleyes: I live in Bako but I am not from here - you could also add Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, UK as well. We had lunch out and the visitors paid. Yay! I had baked potato soup and some crab cakes. Yum. Not sure what dinner will be but the answer is not much. Must. Do. More. Appraisals! Gah! ---
