meh, never mind, I’m going back to sleep
{{{Sari}}} If I was closer I’d volunteer to help your son; 34 years in the Government have made me, if not a pro, at least adept in the ways of Powerpoint presentations.
Raining hard this am and for most of the day if the doppler radar isn’t lying. No sun before Thursday. Have to put 3-4 ‘books’ together for the boss, I have everything ready, just got to find a 3-hole punch…all of which have seemed to disappear…
Five more months of this…FCM, I don’t know how you managed to talk yourself into going back to work. Maybe after being retired for a few months I’ll feel the same way, but right now I’m ready to be done with it.
metal mouse - at this moment, I’m ready to walk out the door, spewing profanities in my wake. I don’t know what the problem is, but an entire list of notes that I typed up TWICE yesterday disappeared when I opened the drawing this morning. And a section view that was perfectly cromulent a few days ago no longer appears, altho the program insists it exists.
I’m letting the damned thing reboot before digging back in and trying to do my job. When the software works, I do enjoy what I do. Not so much today, tho…
Up, caffeinated, off today. Time for a trip to the laundromat. 
Flipper, metal roof? \m/–\m/

Anybody see Wiki? :dubious:
I have my mortgage with Chase, who I hate with the fiery heat of 1,000 Kenner Easy Bake Ovens. I had to call them regarding my escrow shortage and talked with the nicest lady. She had such a pleasant voice, acknowledged that making an online payment is a PITA, and took my payment info over the phone. It’s so nice to deal with someone who actually knows their job.
I think winter is here. How do I know, you ask? Because the mice have made their annual migration into my kitchen. Bold little fucks - they’ve even been getting into some food.
So usually I set up some traps and they go away.
In the last 24 hours I have trapped 6 mice. I think there are more.
I just line 3 traps up on the counter, 1 under the sink and turn the lights off. After a few minutes POW! There goes another.
It’s a very old cottage - I don’t begrudge that mice get in or even the mice themselves: it’s just a problem to deal with. But 6? Damn.
Hey Sari, sorry to hear your phone is broken (Hint Hint!)
OK, at the risk of cursing it (as opposed to cursing at it) I believe I’ve finished the first drawing from hell. I made a .pdf to prove I made all the changes he requested, just in case something goes weird again.
I’m about to attack drawing from hell the second. Technically, my 6th drawing of the day - 4 were relatively easy to fix, and they’re back in the review circuit.
I don’t think even chocolate could help my mood today.
BLURF AT IRK. I have a million things to do. I don’t want to do any of them.
I am sleepy and hungry and aggravated and tired and in a pissy mood too.
I do a lot of purchasing for other facilities. One, a bar and grill, can’t be bothered to get me the invoices I require without me begging and chasing him down. I think the next time he needs something purchased he will be SOL with me. Hey, I am doing you a favor here. I don’t get anything out of doing it except a headache and a lot more work for me. :smack:
Lunch. Whew.
All drawings were completed and the 4 easy ones have come back to be finished. I went to my boss asking for work. As I recall, I asked him for work last week and never got any. Not impressed.
What I want is a nap. But I shall soldier on because I’m a professional. I must be a professional - they pay me for this!
Watching the laundry go round and round.
It’s more than 2 hours since I asked the boss for work. Still waiting…
Today is better.
I’ve found a work around for caffeine consumption: I make a cup at the coffee br in the engineering offices (where it’s allowed), then park myself in an empty cubicle where I log on and drink my coffee while filing reports. This cube is right across from my manager’s office and he’s cool with it.
So you love them then, as I’m pretty sure it gets hotter here on a NON-heat wave day in August. 
Took a nap. Mom’s Kindle Fire and case arrived today. We’re going to Wally World to pick up my drugs, and then briefly to McDonald’s where hopefully Mom will be able to set up her Kindle.
Wow {{{Butters}}} sounds like my mood rubbed off onto you.
2gig - unfortunately it’s my land line irk phone that is on the fritz. Nobody has that number except irk, however I could tell ‘friend’ my cell phone isn’t working. I wouldn’t be fibbing either because it did freeze up earlier today.
Metal Mouse it would be great to have help. However, today he is doing his music listening assessment. This time it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCEDfZgDPS8. Fortunately, he is done. I only had to hear it about a dozen times and no ear worm.
My mood is improving a bit, probably why it is getting cold outside - hell is freezing over.
Simple, when it rings look at the caller ID. If it’s any one of the pain in the asses you are dealing with, let it roll to voice mail. Then later on at some point message or call them (when it’s convenient to YOU only) “Damn, the thing keeps sending stuff to voice mail. Don’t know why. I never hear it ring.” Rinse, repeat as necessary.
Ain’t nobody’s business but yours.
Home, somewhat mentally fried and totally exhausted. Some time after 1:30, my boss finally brought me some work to do - and in less than 2 hours, I finished 3 drawings - they were pretty simple. I’ve got one more to do, plus the drawing from hell needs a few more tweaks - every time the engineer looks at it, he changes stuff.
**FCD **doesn’t want supper, so I’ll be eating leftover sketties for supper, and that suits me just fine. I’m seeing an early bedtime tonight as I’s tahred!!! It doesn’t help that it’s been rainy and dreary all day.
I need a vacation. One that involved drinks with umbrellas…
I had a nice birthday yesterday. I got some lovely coffee that my husband ordered from a roaster we used to visit in graduate school. My sister got me an Amazon card, which is perfect. My husband did ask me, “why is there a cake in the fridge?” 
I think the last few weeks of multiple infusions may finally be helping with the mega-migraine. I’ve got a headache, but it’s low level. The trick is whether it will stay here. Botox tomorrow. Fingers crossed. I’m cautiously optimistic.
Started the day at about 33 degrees Amurkin, and it will reach low 60’s. Rain later this week. Free water, yay!
Time to stop computer and start house cleaning.
Hugs Sari and Butters!
Howdy Y’all! I survived irk and heated up dindin. OYKW had to eat and run cause he has a home visit monitorin’ to do this evenin’, poor thing. He’s stayin’ at his place tonight cause it’s closer to there from where he has to go. BOO!
{{{Butters}}} hope everything is better now.
MOOOOOOM drinks with umbrella is not all it’s cracked up to be. They never buy a round themselves. The cheapskates!
Belated happies, sunny! I don’t usually catch b-days unless **swampy **sings… 
But now I want cake!
