Blurf. Got up, played the Florida State game on NCAA Football '11 (still undefeated in the 2024 season), emptied the crock pot into the dumpster, and am now RPing with a good friend of mine. Brats 'n N.O.T.'s tonight for dinner. eke-sister and I love to exchange movie quotes back and forth. We used to do it all the time when we were living together; we still do it now, but in text message form. Today’s exchange, started by me: “It’s absolutely outrageous! Asking a senior officer to share his quarters, and with a non-commissioned Yank, no less! Why, back in my R. A. F. days, I–” “Hey! You weren’t exactly MY first choice, either. And move over. Your wing’s on my side of the bunk.” “YOUR side of the bunk?! THE WHOLE BUNK is MY side of the bunk!” “Just… what’s that smell, is that your breath?” “… It’s absolutely outrageous.” ---

Another Monday. My co-worker (she is not at all an irk-er) is trapped in Kansas by an ice storm so won’t be back today as planned. So I have to do all the work, which isn’t much since I’m pretending it doesn’t exist. I’d rather make a subject list of all the journal we subscribe to (I’m a liberrian). Watched the Anne of Green Gables marathon on PBS yesterday and just like I did when it first aired in the late 80s, cried all the way through it. Dug the books out of the garage last night and started re-reading for the umpteenth time. ---

I decided on beastloaf, steamed cabbage, and carrots/parsnips simmered in some broth left from the last time I made corned beast. Should be a good dindin, IMHO. **Spidey** go over to the CDP and read the rules about what constitutes a celebrity. If’n you can convince me you meet the criteria, we’ll talk. Bein’ added to my list comes at a cost. I took **flytrap’s** advice and now offer celebrity immortality for a substantial fee. 😃 ---

Howdy! Blurf! Busy day here. Nonstop irk. Being off those four days has come back to bite me in the arse. So backed up with daily reports, purchasing and tomorrow is the freaking end of the the month pile on. I guess that is why I make the big bucks 😛 not really. I have asked it before and will ask again; why couldn’t my parents have been rich? More later. and for good measure here is another BLURF **Baker** I have been working on my list. It is politicians and old sick people. I am going for quantity over points. ---

Home - sketties for supper, because it was the easiest option short of having someone show up with a complete meal for us. I had to make 2 stops on the way home, which was especially fun since it was raining. I \*finally \*got some work to do shortly after 2. Needless to say, I didn’t get it done, but I’ve now got plenty awaiting me in the morning, so there’s that. C’mon Thursday!!! 😃 ---

Dindin turned out good. Plus leftovers for tomorrow night. YAY! 'Tis back to irk for da bear tomorrow. A day in the orifice as it’s first of the month and all kinds of reports will need to be done. Rah. **flytrap** go to the NYC docks at three a.m. on Thursday. A man named Guido will [del]cut you[/del] have your cut. ---

**swampy** , someday you have to come to Kansas and cook din-din for me. You could de-heathenize at my church. We have the cathdral dean, who was raised Southern Baptist, and we have the canon, who is ELCA, a West Point graduate who was a chaplain for a long time, and raised Serbian Orthodox. Oh, and the WBC has been back for the last two Sundays! We must be doing something right! ---

Sucky day. Amazon messed up my order, one thing left out and another thing was wrong. Spent a half hour cussing the web site because I could find returns and exchanges but not missing. Finally spent another half hour on the phone with them and now it is resolved. The whole time ‘friend’ kept calling - she actually called me 3 times in under 10 minutes because - well whatever the hell her problem is today. That was after she had already called me two times earlier in the day. She has since called me three more times even after I told her I wasn’t home and couldn’t talk. Which was the trip to the grocery store. In the pouring rain, get home and find stuff missing from the order. While I’m checking the bags for the missing stuff I accidentally knocked over his pizza onto the floor. He flips out because he is hungry, I’m flipping out over the missing groceries, as well as I hadn’t eaten anything yet. Anyway, turns out the stuff wasn’t missing, I messed up the order. So we need to go back to the grocery store, but probably not until Firday. That is when Sah-son decides to tell me that he thinks the bathroom ceiling is leaking. I saw a small puddle on the floor once and thought maybe he dripped it there after a shower. He said he’s seen a puddle a couple of times. So now I have that to deal with. Although neither of us has seen water actually dripping from anywhere. Then I am sitting here and think it’s getting cold in here. The inside temp has dropped from 68 to 66, even though the temp is set in 72. Yep, now the furnace isn’t working - but guy is here now to fix it. The damn dog won’t stop barking, I should be irking but I can’t until he finishes and the damn dog stops barking. I gave him a light tap on the nose and he gave me a nasty look - but he still barks. Now it just comes out more like a squeak. In the meantime, ‘friend’ has called me three more times and my mother has called twice. All I’ve had to eat today is soft pretzel bites stuffed with cheese, and my stomach hurts, and my head feels like it is ready to explode. I’m cold, and hungry, and getting extremely annoyed. ---

Just one more thing to screw up my day. I got a new phone for irk because the old one wasn’t holding a charge and the headsets (2 new ones) were staticy. Got my new phone today and there is no place to plug in the headset. I thought all cordless phones came with a little doohickie to plug in a headset. At least we have heat. ---
