As the unofficial Queen and Grande Dame of the MMP, I hereby declare that **swampy ** is the next MMP starter. No vote. No argument. No problem.
I am *too * the unofficial Queen and Grande Dame of the MMP!!! 
jayjay, you really are a rookie here - talent has absolutely *nothing * to do with it! Inanity, on the other hand, works. Don’t be shy about volunteering some day. Heck, if that old geezer **swampy ** can manage to string a few sentences together…
I’ma go hide now…
I’m back from Colorado! I was flown all the way out there for a three hour meeting in which I didn’t even participate as the survey that it was regarding was taken several months before I was hired. I managed to be busy for the first hour of the day, and then had to pretend to be busy for the next five hours… I didn’t do a very good job, ever tried looking busy without a computer? It’s hard!
(And yes, as you can tell from the pictures I am actually able to spend half an hour packing, and hour and a half driving to the airport, five hours flying, and then wake up the next morning and finally realize that I had forgotten to bring a comb.)
I did end up spending the return flight memorizing poetry, specifically specific stanzas from the afore mentioned Eugene Onegin. Unfortunately there was no one in the seat next to me to be weired out by my mumbling to myself.
My contribution into the mayo v. Miracle Whip debate: Honey Mustard.
I am deeply disappointed. The correct answer is Miracle Whip.
I like the illustrated post concept, though. And I cannot imagine trying to look busy without a computer. I’m pretty sure it’s impossible.
Office is reasonably dejunked. On to the living room.

Whoever asked and I’m too lazy to check:
A page is just a nice name for a re-shelver of books. I have to do them in order and line them up just so etc. I need to know Dewey Decimal (which somehow I never learned).
So, this I will do, starting next Wednesday.
I liked the jokes re the kids and teachers. Done with class-this one is so boring, I could shoot myself. But, I will not and I shall overcome and all that.
nighty-night. 0500 comes early.
Mumbling to oneself is always a good thing. Some years back, when I was commuting to downtown DC on the Metro every day, I was helping a fellow member of a chorus I was in write a few modern verses of Cole Porter’s “You’re the Top,” and I found that sitting there with pencil and paper mumbling to myself left me a clear seat going home every day. I milked it for weeks.
Alistair McCello, your hair looks like it’s fine enough that it doesn’t stay combed very well anyway. I have hair like that. It’s a nuisance, isn’t it? Being female, though, I always have that purse thing attached to me, and even though I don’t carry a huge purse it has all kinds of good stuff in it. I sometimes wish they would revive Let’s Make a Deal so I, too, could win $100 for having tweezers and a spare sock in my purse.
an 8th reason not to mess with kids
An english teacher was discussing proper grammar and word usage as compared to other languages “Altho in English a double negative does not stay negative, in some languages it does, but usually a double negative becomes positive. However, in no language does a double positive mean negative”
and from the back of the room he hears “yeah, right.”
Funny jokes, Bobbio. Made me laugh.
Glad you mentioned that self-appraisal FCM. I hate them too. But I have to do someone else’s performance review tomorrow. And I almost forgot about it. At least I can just update the last one, since it’s the second of 2 probationary ones and the employee in question is outstanding. ::goes off to e-mail self a reminder::
That was me who asked, rigsy. I guess it sounds better than book-shelver. I’m guessing you’ll get the hang of the Dewey decimal system pretty quickly. It’s pretty logical.
Didn’t get quite as much done as I wanted to, but I want to get to bed at a decent hour for a change because I’ve been dragging.
It’s almost Friday!!!

Its so true. I have some decent hair wax that has worked throughout the summer for me, but with the humidity that comes with Michgan autum I think I need to find something else. I try to keep a comb or brush in my laptop messenger bag (or as my roommates call it, my ‘murse’) but natuarlly I forgot to bring said bag with me as well. :smack:
This is exactly why I always where hats outside of the office.
I was quite anxious for this weekend to come, the three day weekend thing is of course great, but even more to the point my sister has been bombarding me with emails and phone calls telling me of her new roommate who is, in her words, “a cute, geeky, single, bookaholic”, and I was going to get myself invited to their place to appearently watch either MST3K episodes or the A&E production of Pride and Predjudice. Then I call her up today and find out that she has decided to instead visit our parents this weekend.
I only came home because I had no choice. I only came home because I had no choice. Repeat until insane. At this point, anything I can do to keep from throwing things at my mother is good, in my book. sighs heavily If anyone dares to say, “I told you so,” I’m going to wreak havoc upon you.
Hi all, the first week of school is always crazy, I am so very glad that tomorrow is Friday and it’s a three day weekend!
Miracle Whip is the food of the gags!!! Hellman’s and Best Foods are the same product, we have Best Foods here, and it’s the only mayo I will eat. I don’t use much mayo, but when I do, it must be Best Foods. And it’s so not fair of you all to be talking about fresh maters and sweet corn and other produce. I went to Safeway on Tuesday and it was sad. The barge was almost three days late, the produce section was darn near empty except for the young guy picking through the plums and discarding the bad ones. There was no milk to be had other than gallon jugs of chocolate milk. I did manage to get through the store without running into anyone I know, an almost unheard of occurance. It’s not that I am antisocial, but I hate it when a quick run to the store turns into a three hour visit with half a dozen people who could just as easily call or drop by.
So, mostly it’s been dull around here, get the kids up and out of the house, wrangle the animals, get myself showered and dressed and do housework. Yippee skippee, I am bored. The only excitement has been the black tuxedo kitty, Jack, has knocked my begonia off the shelf two days running, the first day he brok half of it off, today he broke the remaining half to the dirt. I have taken to calling him Black Jack on Crack, he’s insane. Have I mentioned the kitty olympics which begin around midnight and last until around 4:00 am?
Now I am gonna help #3 with her proofreading the Language Arts assignment. She has very creative spelling, and is disinclined to use the dictionary, :rolleyes: without parental supervision.
AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!
My relief didn’t show up tonight, so I had to work a 14 hour day today. I wish this was the 18th century, so I could have these people flogged! :end rant: On the bright side, I don’t have to be at work for another 6 1/2 hours.
spats, that was a bad pun, I con cur completely.
For jajay, and the rest of you who are off tomorrow, my rage burns with the fire of a nightlight bulb.
BibloCat, what is your stance on circumcising declawed cats?
Happy Birthday Puggy!!!
Mayo!
I don’t know what made me think of this - and the only connection is the talk of ‘mater sammiches last page or the page before but who cares - I’m going to tell you anyway
Toast a Thomas’ English muffin - spread upon each side some chunky peanut butter - slice a beefsteak 'mater and place said slice upon the aforementioned PB - close sammich - enjoy. This was my mom’s favorite lunch - and when I miss her muchly, I have one of those and it makes me feel better
I need to get me some decent sex then. Never had any sex that could beat a box of Cadbury’s Fingers, and those aren’t the best chocolate I ever had.
Then again, these lists are being made by people who like okra and grits…
Nava -exactly. Do you think those people (whose taste buds are clearly missing) know good sex or chocolate when it hits them in the face? Wait-let me rephrase that!
CelloTypePerson -1. I don’t think your hair is messy and 2. too bad about the weekend. What are sisters for, if not having cute, single roomies? How dare she go home to see your parents? (or was that the roomie who was going?).
Off to work, to make some money. I hafta write a paper this weekend, plus do other [del]shit[/del] stuff. I am now reading Robinson Crusoe --who comes across as very immature. Let’s hope he grows up and soon!
Maddy the VunderDog is blaming me personally for the Ernesto driven rain that soaked her (and me) when I took her out to pee this morning. :rolleyes:
You know what really sucks? I planned a week ago to take a vacation day today, and the CG base is now closed because of flooding. I’m using personal leave instead of administrative… :mad:
I don’t know - you’d have to ask the cat.
That sounds like something my mom would eat, but the tomato and PB combination sounds a bit ghastly to me.
I like to toast an English muffin and spread on side with PB, the other with orange marmelade, smash together and eat.
Bobbio Maddie the VunderDog is perfectly within her rights to blame you. After all, in her eyes, it’s you who rules the universe. Sorry about the day off thing. That truly sucks.
As far as stringing sentences together goes, of course I can do that. I mean, as long as nobody expects 'em to, you know, make sense, it’s a snap. So, I host the MMP.
Today we inventory and begin billing. I hate billing.
think of it as “mater preserves” - after all, technically, they’re fruit - and if you’re game - give it a try - I think you’ll like it
Just because I knew everybody would want to know… the physical count of the mop inventory and the spreadsheet match up! Now we count bags and boxes. Well, not me, cause that’s somebody else’s assigned task for right now. Me, I get to go start billing. I hate billing.
