**BBBobbio **- you’re such a perv. I like that in a man! 
Depends on who has their hands on my junk personally. 
Leavin’ now to go to dindin at Steak ‘n Shake. YUM! Then we’re both goin’ to Evenin’ Prayer. OYKW ususally does not go to EP but since the Snakey Shake is near the church house, he decided he’d go.
Oh and I’m at his place postin’.
Later Y’all!
Knitting time!!
Shaddup!
Oh, and Mom, i’ll take two hugs and a grope please, medium rare.
It’s been one of those days. :rolleyes:
Found my first gray hair, it was one of my ear hairs.:dubious:
Hee, you people are making me giggle.
I love Irish Breakfast Tea. It’s definitely a morning tea.
Long, meeting-filled day. Tomorrow is more of the same. But maybe I’ll get to come home early.
rosie’s sig to all.
And extra hugs.
And stuff.

The people behind me at work are Project Engineers, Waterworks. One of them, who is counting down to retirement, has been scheduled for a new computer: she didn’t even know about it until the IT guy arrived. Turns out he was bringing a laptop (as per current SOP) and expected to retire another, but she has a desktop - since this didn’t match his orders, things are on hold awaiting clarification.
She was just on the phone with someone threatening with shoving her desktop’s tower down the throat of anybody who tries to take away her big flatscreen monitor… “if I have to stay on the old computer to keep the monitor, then I stay on the old computer! I don’t care if I take 20 months to prepare a budget, it’s not my problem! I’m 20 months from retirement, what’s anybody gonna do, eh? You are NOT giving me some teenyweeny monitor I can’t see shit in!”
It really shouldn’t be so difficult… wouldn’t a big monitor count as “ergonomic equipment”, when the user is 63yo? I think I’ll suggest that tack next time we’re having coffee.
Morning all, up and caffeinating, had some oatmeal this AM for brekkie. It is COLD out this morning, below freezing -and- there is a wind chill. The March rollercoaster.
Nava, I’m sorry but I had to chuckle a bit about your co-worker - that could have been me! I’ve actually been eligible for retirement for the past three years; the only thing is, it wouldn’t pay me enough to live on. 
I’ve got 33 going on 34 years so far, and am trying to hold out to make 35 years (on the job). I want to just say this - there are so many systems that are now online, and there are just too many ids and passwords for me. My feeble brain can’t handle them … especially the ones that need to be changed every 6 weeks or so! Pneumonics are no help to me, either. LOL So yeah, I can sympathsize with Nava’s co-worker.
Happy Thursday all - one more day after today until the weekend! 
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up, caffienated and brekkied. In between all that, I did a system restore. Wunnerful way to start off a mornin’. :rolleyes:
Anywho, I need to purtify for irk now that 'puter seems to be all better.
On the upside, I figure my day can only go up from here, right?
Happy Thursday Y’all!
Blurf.
Saw a Predator (unmanned airplane that shoots missiles and kills lots o’ Taliban) near a hangar yesterday while going to a meeting. What impressed me was how big it really is; roughly the same size as a Gulfstream business jet. It was 
I unpacked nothing last night, and laid on my ass reading a Tom Clancy novel. Got to bed decently early, and still the alarm clock made me jump when it went off at the crack of ohmygawd. Maybe I’ve turned the corner on insomnia for a while, I hope.
Carry on. I need more WTHU.
A joke for y’all:
Show and Tell
A kindergarten teacher gave her class a “show and tell” assignment. Each student was instructed to bring in an object that represented their religion to share with the class.
The first student got up in front of the class and said, “My name is Benjamin and I am Jewish and this is a Star of David.”
The second student got up in front of the class and said, “My name is Mary. I’m a Catholic and this is a Rosary.”
The third student got in up front of the class and said, “My name is Tommy. I am [del]Methodist[/del] Whiskeypalian, and this is a casserole.”
Bwa-ha-ha!
Rosie’s sig all around…
You misspelled 1) Lutheran and 2) hotdish.
Up, caffeinated, off to irk. Hockey tonight.
Why is Gnat saying, “Turtle, go away!” behind me?
Hee!
I gave Gnat a haircut last night. It is shorter but not terrific. I’m trying to decide if I can clean up a bit or if I should take him to the hairdressers for twenty minutes of creaming.
Shit.
Sorry I have been absent for two days but I had a crappy Tuesday. I got fired.
It’s been a number of very long stories I won’t bother with here about problems with my new boss. I have, and according to everyone whose opinion matters to me, done a great job for the district. Employees, principals, most parents - all happy. New boss and I had clashed from day one.
I have a contact they’re honoring through June, and am just put on “admin leave”, which is a kind way of saying ‘stay away’. Which I’m doing, but truth is that place is losing at least 3-4 other director/admin level people in places they can’t afford to lose all at once, within the next few months.
Plus, I have a really firm offer for more money already, in fact was offered it a month ago. It’s with a private bus company (whew! won’t have to change my name!) and the job is a regional manager type. Some driving travel, but better hours.
And more money.
Oh, I’m so sorry Bus Guy! Good luck in your new job.
Swimming day today! I like swimming day at the gym. I don’t have to sweat.
Let me get this straight—you just got a 4 month paid vacation, and already have a better job with more cash lined up?
Rock on.
I now have an image of Jeffy from Family Circus being chased by his TMNT dolls
You’re welcome.
I think he was saying it to baby, but I’m not sure. He usually calls baby a ‘fierce dragon’. It’s a long story.
So sleepy. So unmotivated. Mac’n’cheese for dinner? With cauliflower and extra cheese.
BusDude, sucks to be fired, but it looks like you made out pretty well. Plus you’re free of AssBoss. Drinks on you!
**Rebo **- bwahahahahaha!!
**tarra **- I’ve solved the password dilemma pretty easily. I have a Word doc that is password protected and I put all of my passwords in it. So all I need to remember, besides that password which never needs to be changed since no one else knows about it is my main computer password. It’s saved my neck several times. Just a thought.
doggio, I won’t make you feel bad by saying that at my advanced age, I still have no gray hairs in my ears or anywhere else. It would be mean of me to rub it in. Except to point out that even tho I do have a few months on swampy, he’s all grizzled and gray and I ain’t!
I’m thinking this will be a good night to go out to eat. We’re temporarily flush with cash. Not only do my and my sweetie’s paychecks get deposited, but our tax refund showed up. Until the various bills roll in and suck the account dry, we look prosperous. So I think that merits dinner out.
