I have had a pretty horrible day. A banker I work with is trying to throw me under the bus and blaming me for things going wrong with her clients that literally has NOTHING to do with me. These things are out of my control, and she is telling her boss (who then writes a very nasty email to my boss about how badly this reflects on me) that I said things and did things that I NEVER did. What kind of person does that? I was in tears with my boss telling him what was really going on, and explained to him what had happened and he seems to be on my side but who really knows until you get the axe? I am so eager to please everyone and I am blind sided by this treatment from the banker so I am hurt and feel a bit betrayed. I didn’t do anything to deserve it, I am customer driven and provide the highest level of customer support possible, and yet I am still getting dumped on. WTF?
Howdy Y’all! Home from Stations of The Cross and Fish ‘n Chips over to the church house. I’s tahrd! I was all afeered we’d cooked too much but we had 54 folks show up so it all got et up. I left my cooker there tonight cause I did not feel like cleanin’ it up. Thus, I shall go do so tomorrow at some point.

Hmmmm… somebody who plays the CDP, born in 1954, one day younger than Chavez and likes beer and cookies does sound suspiciously like somebody I know. Who could it be! <insert angelic smiley face here>
Ye Olde Chikin of the Syrians sounds nummy Pearl! Ya know, if’n we all cooked recipes soley from the Mumper recipe blog our average weight would be around four hunnert pounds. We be some gooooooooooooood cooks up in here!
On that note, I do believe I shall commence beddy bye time. OYKW has already crashed.
Mrs. Plant v.3.0 is disappointed that your plane was late, or that you missed connections.
She seems quite eager to meet you. She was even polishing and sharpening the silverware!
Welp, Shopping Safari Day 1 was a bust. VWife’s debit card did not work, and she could not figure out why. Two attempts to call the bank while on the road failed; it wasn’t until we got home that she managed to talk to the bank to find out there was a fraud hold on her card. Someone tried to hit it with a $75 charge from a gas station in Cedar Rapids Iowa yesterday, and someone else at a Best Buy in New Hampsha tried to buy 3 boob tubes for $1700 this morning.
Moooooom, a warning about the lowbrow chain steakhouse by the Cracker Barrel with ‘Texas’ in the name, we think it’s where her card got skimmed because it’s the only place it left her immediate control in the last month.
She had a sucky experience with her Dr. Feelgood appointment today, too. She wound up seeing a different partner than the usual guy and the usual NP. He didn’t like anything about her treatment plan, diagnoses, etc, and went through the motions for a new patient, with a new pee test at a grand a pop, new MRI, and new workup. :dubious: :rolleyes: He’s trolling for bucks with our health insurance. :mad:
With TVCTPMO having such great success today, I wonder what Shopping Safari Day 2 will bring tomorrow. Maybe it’s time to hoist the Jolly Roger and start slitting throats…
Flytrap, we were out of fresh Garlic, beacuse I forgot to tell the boys to get some last time they went to the sto’. I can’t make Syrian chicken without it & our roomate had the car. :smack: We have a couple other things to pick up, so I’ll send someone out on Sunday to get some. (See post #322) The Lasagna was pretty much just as good & I’ll probably make it again soonish.
((((BBBBobbio)))) Cry “Havoc” & let slip the dogs of war!!
Home from the BBQ (Swampy’s fish fry did sound good, too). Batch 2 of banana bread came out fine, all either got consumed there or was taken home by others (fine by me, I’d eaten a reasonable amount and DH doesn’t care for banana anything). I even got there on time, with two still-warm loaves in my hands. All the food was good (one talented cook even managed to make Brussels sprouts less than totally vile), the people were quite enjoyable, and the event went quite well.
Currently curled up on the couch with a couple of episodes of “Good Eats” while waiting to go get DH from work.
My only current gripe is that there is no way I get 24 hours of allergy relief from a Claritin-clone (store brand), despite what the label claims. I’m lucky to get 12, and today’s fizzled out around 7 or 8 hours.
Why didn’t you tell me? I picked up two heads of garlic at the store yesterday. I could have tossed one your way.
I’m actually kind of proud of myself because I didn’t forget anything at the stores yesterday. I actually caught myself before I went to the checkout line without the ground turkey.
In case anyone’s wondering, it’s impossible to sleep in when you have a puppy. Just sayin’… :mad: I don’t think I even got 6 hours overnight and I’s tahred.
Today, we’ve got to buy 4X4s, fencing, and cee-ment - tomorrow, our pair of yard workers are going to start replacing the crappy fence between us and the neighbor. With luck, Higgs won’t figure out that if she goes 150’ into the woods, she can get around it.
**BBBobbio **- we’ve gone to that steakhouse many times with no issues - wonder if they’ve recently hired a new, crooked server? I don’t know if it matters, but we don’t use our debit card anyway - everything goes on VISA so we can earn rebates. Anyway, good luck on your further shopping expeditions.
Onna choo-choo onna way to go climb anudder building. However I need to find a new distressed damsel to rescue; gave up on the last one as I deemed her unwothy of my rescuing. ::sigh:::
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 34 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of only 58. Winter is gettin’ in one last fling. Next week we’ll have highs upwards to the upper 70s. Go figure.
{{{doggio and roomie}}} May roomie’s dad have a peaceful and pain free death. Sometimes that’s just the best thing one can say.
Spidey my guess is that it’s really hard to find a damsel in distress what with the severe shortage of castle towers and dragons these days.
BBBobbio I’ve been known to ask for a detailed explanation as to why the same dang tests are needed all over again. Interestin’ thing is when I do that it suddenly does not seem to be needed. Makes one go :dubious: does it not?
Ok, now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then I need to purtify so’s I can be presentable to my public. Gotta go rescue my outdoor cooker and do some errands in town.
Can Friday be over?
