**Moooommmmm**. If I were your new boss I’d have you at least cleaning or something. Or give you leave w pay until accounts were ready. Maybe you should volunteer to tidy the place up? My .02 cents. ---

Our neighbors who had been here for just about a year that were carting off junk by the cartload continue to move things. I have a strong suspicion that the house will be empty on the first. Typical Dumb Straight Guy Moving technique. He’s been chucking things into the back of his truck, but the motorcycles were carefully loaded. :smack: ---

My friend from Hawaii is winding down his mainland trip in our home for three days (I picked him up at the airport on Sunday afternoon. I had to work that night (even though I had put in for a night off, grrr), and needed to nap yesterday. Actually, I needed an actual SLEEP yesterday; I just didn’t get one until after 10 p.m. He wanted to stay up after dinner and listen to the Dodgers lose to the Giants on his computer. He also wanted to pick some sets of numbers to try to win the Mega-millions jackpot for tonight (even though I already called dibs on that one). He chose seven sets of five digits, and today wanted me to pick them up with ALL of the mega numbers. So this morning and afternoon, I got to fill out 105 play slips by hand\*. Talk about BLURF. I swear, if he wins the jackpot tonight, I’m gonna claim all fourteen of the Match five without the Mega number. \*well, 21 playslips, each with five picks. ---

If he’s letting you hold them all, just tell him the winning ticket is one of the ones you’d bought for yourself, then give him a couple thou out of the goodness of your heart. P.S. You could give me some, too, since today’s my birthday 😃 😃 ---

Happy Birthday **anyrose**. Headed to bed…I hate falling asleep after work and waking up at 1am. Does anyone else kind of miss the days when the boards went down for maintenance every night? That used to be my signal, that it was definitely time to go to bed. ---

Happy orbit completion day, rosie. It’s baking night, we have a annual Fall outdoor lunch at work every year around this time and I agreed to bake brownies. So one pan with walnuts and one pan straight fudge brownies. Hardest part will not be sampling the produce. Work has been dead this week…not quite as comatose as Moooommm has (I’m surprised they don’t have some sort of ‘policies and procedures’ or other manuals for you to read…probably afraid of putting you in a coma). We have the same thing here, it takes about 1-2 weeks to get a computer set up for new hires. Otherwise, it’s hump day, which makes it a good day. ---

Oh, and I thought this might amuse people: At that job I didn’t end up keeping, I got an email saying “Please wear pants.” (And no, pants, or lack thereof, weren’t a reason that I didn’t keep the job.) ---
