No, no, no. We already have a **Grumpy Bunny** & a (**Swamp)Bear** in here. You cannot combine the two & make a new character. Despite the fact that they both like the same thing (guys - yup, **Swampy** ’s gay!!! :eek:) & they both used to live in the South; one of them has wised up & moved to Bahstan. They is not the same & should **not** be combined. You is a **gotti!** Get it? Got it? Good! 😛

Do stop, & give [Sean](http://www.balloonsoverletchworth.com/) a call.  
If you’re lucky, you’ll fly right over (& down) the waterfall (watch the videos on his website). This is what he looks like at the [bottom](https://www.flickr.com/photos/74663312@N08/22211005440/) of the gorge. No, I don’t display others’ work!

At risk of making things even worse, I used to live in the South (wished up and moved back to CA) and I like guys (yup, me too!)

Irk woes. One of the supervisors, A (not my own direct one, but they’re friendly), is POed at me. I answered a question asked by great-grandboss T (store manager), to the best of my knowledge, belief, and intent completely truthfully. A went down my throat today about how she had never said what I clearly remembered hearing her say (and had mentioned during said conversation with T). My memory of that interaction with her (weeks ago) is clear, and what was said did not leave a lot of room for ambiguity. I never claim infallibility, and if she’d said something about misunderstanding her, I could deal. She simply accused me of lying, which I did NOT do.

So be it. This particular person is just not someone who can really be dealt with anyway (others there have had similar problems), and I generally try to avoid her, since dealing with someone who seems constantly angry with me is a problem around my anxiety issues. I’ll keep things professional with her, but not interact if I don’t have to.

The problem is that A and my own supervisor, E, are friendly, and I’m quite fond of E. I worry that her friend’s claim that I lied about her will damage that relationship, especially since E has told me that one thing she really likes about me is that I’m completely honest with her. I do NOT want my credibility with her or my reputation for integrity to take a hit over this. (sigh)

I may be worrying too much, which I’m good at. E behaved normally toward me all day, even after A landed on me. If they’ve discussed the matter, I don’t have a lot of hard evidence that E is really being influenced, but I’m still worried about losing her respect.

**Nettie** work politics suck. Hopefully your good relationship with your boss will hold steady. If she has valued your credibility in the past, hopefully she will continue to judge you by her interactions with you. Was this incident something you could discuss with your boss directly?

I’m a bit afraid to, since we are talking about a friend of hers, and I really don’t want to be seen as trying to stir up drama between them or anything like that. I did talk to another sort-of boss, J (long story about how the various authority types fit together), who thinks that I should talk to E, but giving it some time so I can calm down is reasonable, in his opinion. I’ll see how E deals with me tomorrow. If she’s still behaving normally toward me, maybe I should just not bring it up with her?

Hey Rosie,

Not sure what your parking situation is, but if this helps any: I was unable to drive for a considerable amount of time before/following a foot surgery and got myself set up with a trickle battery charger. Still had a neighbor friend start/run it for a few minutes once a month or so for fluid circulation, but it was a great solution for keeping the battery charged up and ready to go.

I, for one, was kinda enjoying the cheesy puns. No idea why 😃

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up, caffeinated, and purtified, so no _YAWN_. We’re goin’ to Pearly’s for brekkie in a few minutes. YUM! Plus I’s hongry. 'Tis 60 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 86 for the day. A little too warm for even south Jawja this time of year.

OK, that’s all I got for now. I hear rumblin’s from the bedroom to indicate OYKW is officially purtified and ready to go. Pearly’s, here we come!

Happy Firday Y’all!

That’s why I have remote start. I don’t have to leave the apartment to start the car, and it shuts itself off after 20 minutes

Good morning and Happy Firday!! I slept pretty well with Mel, altho I did wake up several times - I fell back to sleep right away.

Today is strip-the-bed day and first shot at vac-n-mulch-leaves day. I’ve also got half a dozen fingerless mitts to deliver to the store.

At the moment, I’m having breakfast. We shall see what follows. Meanwhile, let me just say that getting sufficient sleep is good. 😃

Yep, caught that; was thinking more along the lines of extending the times between needing to fill the tank 🙂

I think I have forks, rather than spoons. Gave too many forks last week (appointments on three consecutive days) and therefore couldn’t give a fork for most of Friday 😃 Silverware drawer mostly back to its normal low level now, hurray!

Easy, I employed the Jeremy Clarkson method (“Now, where’s my hammer?”)

You get the Roundup treatment. :eek:

Finally Firday. All laundry washed and properly stowed last night, so that only leaves mopping the kitchen (bleah) tonight.

I have eaten and caffeinated. Guess it’s time to shower, dress, and get some stuff done.

I am showered, I am dressed, I stripped the bed, and I made up the inventory for the mitts (there were 7 pairs, not 6!!)

Guess it’s time to flip the mattress and make the bed. Oh yeah, I know how to spend my days off. 😃
