No one started today yet. I got nothing. But we now have a place to begin.
Happy Moanday!!
First!
I’ve started the last two; I didn’t want to be a hog & start three in a row.
Whine whine back at not-work. Got a ton of “self training” to go through, including a piece from a system for which I’ve had to request a password reset.
Why do passwords like to need resetting just before I go on vacation, anyway? I never can remember wth did I use 
Also in whine-whine mode…back at irk and it is irksome!
I was just getting ready to start one, then I refreshed the screen and there it was!
Thank you, because I had nothing too, and it’s way too early to get creative.
Happy Moonday!
Never a Moanday for me because Moonday is my easiest day of the week.
It’s 72 degrees outside with a high of 92 predicted. My phone app says it’s sunny with a 65% chance of rain, which seems a bit contradictory.
We’ll try to do a bit of yard work today. We’ll pull the things I am sure are weeds that are growing in the wild flower patch. We’ll let the bunny nest go a bit longer before mowing it. There are some maple saplings coming up that need to be cut down.

I like it when it’s simultaneously raining and sunny. Makes me feel sane and well-organized by comparison.
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Closing shift tonight.
Nice to know the MMP isn’t Godot…
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 74 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 90, partly cloudy and maybe rain this afternoon. We shall see. Plans for the day include some laundry, vacuumin’ and dustin’ da cave cause it needs that, and goin’ to the sto’. I’m exhaustated just thinkin’ about it all! Also tonight is men’s night over to the church house so steaks are marinatin’ and beer is chillin’.
OK that’s all I got for now. I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. At some point I shall also purtify as goin’ to the sto’ means bein’ presentable for the public. Life is so hard.
Happy Moanday Y’all! Though I’m with sari on it not really bein’ a Moanday for me now.
Good moanday to all y’all. Actually got eight hours of sleep for once, maybe watching “Pacific Rim” all the way through aids sleeping…
Otherwise I got nothing. Probably try to emulate swampy and do a little cleaning, but then again I may sit down till that feeling goes away…
I’m really hoping the promised thunderstorms all happen just after I get home from work, because that’s an acceptable excuse to not mow the lawn. Which I have never done before, but nobody else seems like they’re gonna do it. I don’t do it because once I get the mower out of the garage, I’m too short to close the garage door by myself.
This morning is already anger-making, with a customer who is convinced he’s right and most definitely isn’t. We are not going there today, because I have no evidence of a contract, a credit card, or an appointment. I know he was dealing with the other girl in the office on Friday, so I don’t have all the information, but everything I can find points to him being a complete jerk. Then I work everything out with my boss, and the aforementioned jerk doesn’t pick up his phone. Grr.
Unfortunately, it takes more than that to make me feel sane.
I got another notice from the MVA for the car that is not mine, so I figured I’d better call them.
I get a cheerful, oh this happens all the time, don’t worry we send out a paper notice too, just click the link at the bottom of the email so you will be unsubscribed.
I’m really not worried about the suspension notice, not my problem if somebody else has their tags suspended.
What I am worried about is identity theft, and the MVA lack of concern that this happens all the time.
Got to love their attitude.
One time when I got pulled over by the police, the officer ran my license and came back and told me my license was expired.
I said, what do you mean it’s expired? I am holding it in my hand and you can see the expiration date. I just renewed it a few months ago. So he says he has to write me a ticket for driving on an expired license, but it’s not a big deal, I can go to court and show the license to the judge, and it won’t cost me anything. In the meantime, just call the MVA and they will fix it. I said, so I have to take a day of work, and lose a day’s pay, to fix something that isn’t my fault?
He gave me a warning instead and told me to take care of it.
I call the MVA, and the lady says, oh yeah, it happens, not a big deal, I’ll fix it for you.
Sure, it’s not a big deal. I could have had to take a day off work, with no pay, drive to the court house, hope I can find a parking spot, which I have to pay for, waste my time sitting in a courtroom until my name is called because y’all are fucking incompetent.
I didn’t say it, but it sure was hard not to.
I hate the MVA.
Now I have to call the college because they keep sending notices that the tuition has to be paid, but according to the tuition payment page, the tuition has already been paid. It’s probably an automatic notice that they send to everybody, but really, how hard would it be for the program to check the amount due before creating the notice to be sent out? Then anal people like me wouldn’t have to follow up on this stuff, just to be sure that everything is okay.
I don’t know if the college will talk to me anyway, being that Sah-son never did sign the paper saying they can. In which case, he is going to have to call the college to check up on it.
I guess I could get up early to start or be first but I like sleeping and getting ready for the week too much. 
Save the link from last week; pictures of me and Bessie should be popping up on the various West Side Cats sites/facebook over the week. She got two trophies – one was second for her class and the other was a special trophy sponsored by one of the major donors. It turns out the Agway people really liked a cow-themed motorcycle. Go figure.
Howdy Y’all! I have been to the sto’, vacuumed and dusted da cave, washed, dried and put away a load of towels and have a load of undies and misc. stuff in the dryer. Go Me! I could do other cave type stuff today but I won’t just cause. Ah the life of leisure!
ruble really who wouldn’t like a cow themed motorcycle!
What a busy, productive morning I’ve had! I hardly know how to act, what with having tasks to do and not needing to get help or guidance from anyone. Go me! I think that means I’m finally figuring things out here, I guess.
But now, it’s lunch. Yay!
swampy and metal mouse, if you get too bored in your retirement, you could always drive north and help me move.
One of my cow-orkers is out today, so I’m covered up with his stuff in addition to my own. That requires more coffee.
Looks like my afternoon won’t be nearly as productive. Stoopit CREO is (Not Responding), which means it’s either thinking about opening the model I need to see, or it’s about to burst into flames.
It’s been half an hour - I think I’ll reboot and try to open a different model. Stoopit program.
Not only is CREO a pain in my butt - so is the boss. Now he tells me I can’t do what the electrical engineer and I discussed. So at least half of my work of the last 2 days is worthless. And we can’t talk to the EE because he’s on vacation this week.
Hour anna half to go… ugh.
Howdy all! We’re finally (!) out of the house. I’ve got a few more things to deal with in the garage, but we slid under the wire and got the house emptied yesterday. Paint crew is there this morning, to deal with some repairs, scrape acoustic ceilings, and start prep work.
Tree guy came back this weekend to deal with the palm trees by the cee-mint pond. They are a good 20 feet tall now, so we needed a professional to deal with them. They are pretty as a picture now, and won’t be dropping fronds into the pool anytime soon.
Today I will likely take the small people to see “Secret Life of Pets.” I feel like flattened pasta dough, but they worked their butts off this weekend.
I’m fairly certain I require more coffee now.
