Howdy all. My new raise came through at 6% instead of the 3% that I was awarded. I let the business manager know and they are going to fix it. I liked that figure with the extra 3% but I have to be honest. 
**Butters **- they’d have caught up with you eventually and taken it all back, so good on you for catching it right away! I was overpaid once, but I didn’t realize it since it coincided with a promotion. It really sucked over the next months as they took the money back.
Still haven’t seen the boss. BORED!!!
doggio, fat finger not canicide. 
bobbio! :tacklehug:
Tis another slow day that I’m working mostly on EOY projects. I’ve also been pricing desktops and have come to the conclusion tha I need a remedial course in computer shopping.

(about confetti)Flytrap doesn’t like it.
I just ordered a [del]case[/del] pallet of it; just for him. ::where’s the Eeevil smiley?::

I’ll take your confetti and raise you industrial quantities of glitter. I know someone who buys Arts and Crafts Herpes by the cubic foot. IIRC, one of their starter orders was for ten pounds of a dozen colors. Can you just imagine how far a cloud of 120 pounds of glitter could travel? Especialy if it started leaking out of the box in the UPS truck? :eek:
What does it mean, "Arts and Crafts Herpes "?
Blurf. Up and Cinnamon Life’d. ekemom and I watched the finale of “Cutthroat Kitchen: Superstar Sabotage”. I separated out a big bag of chicken breasts into several smaller gallon Zip-Loc bags. Mom just came in from her shower, and now we’re gonna go out, cash her church paycheck, and go to an Italian place we enjoy for lunch. Then it’s off to church for men’s chorale and choir practice.
Howdy Y’all! I survived my journey to the east and southeast forty. I actually go to da cave at a little past three. ‘Tis damp and chilly out so I’m glad to be in my warm cave. I’m thinkin’ brekkie for dindin tonight. Maybe a waffle and bacon.
Confetti and glitter are two of the most evile things on Earth.
Princess Pretty Paws, AKA Star our rescue, blind Pomeranian, does not like the rain. I should make a video of her reaction to being exposed to wet pavement. The *horror *! I finally found a spot under a tree that was dry and she used it. I think, in part, that the wet messes up her sense of smell and she feels lost. It’s still going to be a loooong winter. Silly dog.
Otherwise, I’m up, having more toast. It’s a rainy (yay!) day in the Bay Area. Maybe this El Niño thingies will actually happen.
Today I will help daughter with a paper-mâché Anubis mask. It should be fun. We’re carving a foam base in the jackal shape before we start the layers.
Din-din as yet unplanned.
Home early. It’s been raining all day and really poured since I have been home. I have a small poke roast in the oven and a pot of turnip greens cooking. There will be baked sweet taters and something else and corn bread.
It is supposed to rain all night and all day tomorrow. I have elected to take the day off tomorrow to burn leave. I also have a Dr appt in the morning for yearly blood tests and my flu shot.
I decided upon scrambled aigs with cheese, bacon, and grits for dindin. ‘Twas good. However I would much rather have what Butters is makin’. That is some soul satisfyin’ southern cookin’! YUM!
Home, fed, and chillin’. I never did see my boss today. What a wasted day it was.
We dropped the car off and I’ll be stuck here till **FCD **comes home from work tomorrow. I intend to do some laundry, and I’ll try to de-leaf the deck and the porch. I might even *<brace yourselves> *dust… :eek: I should probably bake up some oatmeal cookies, too. I’m supposed to take 5 batches of cookies when we go to FL.
But for now, relax, with the promise of ice cream a little later.
I took some burgers outta da freezer for tomorrow night’s dindin. I have a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for a homemade burger and fries. I am yawnin’ my haid off but 'tis only seven p.m. in swampland.
Careful, there, swampy. You may be called to turn in your gay card. 
swampie isn’t your average bear.
I want to choke my kid.
My fault for falling asleep and we were running behind, but we got to the college okay, just rushed to get back in time for me to log in to irk.
His English final is writing an essay, no topic in advance, five paragraphs. I knew he would have trouble finishing in 90 minutes. He is good but slow, he agonizes over every word, which is good but not when you are being timed.
He totally choked on it. My shy kid then said something about not being able to finish - he got one and a half paragraphs done, so the testing center called his professor and they talked. She offered to give him extra time which he turned down because he knew I had to log in at work. Then she offered to hold what work he has done and he can go back tomorrow and finish. I think this is a very generous offer he should take. He has an A in the class, if he skips the final he will still get a B for the class.
I think he should go back tomorrow and finish. I think to turn down her offer is kind of rude. I think he should do it just to do it,so he can say he did and build up a little confidence.
He doesn’t want to do it. 1) he has lots of work to do yet 2) he thinks it’s cheating even though I said it’s not cheating if the professor offers it and 3) he is willing to accept a B and 4) he is stressed over it and thinks he won’t do any better anyway.
What do y’all think.
I know mommy should probably butt out but damn I hate to see him give up when he is doing so well.

Like real herpes, once you have glitter in the house, you will never get rid of it all. It’s so pervasive that there are a handful of “services” that will as one says, “ship glitter to your enemies”
There are a few stray sparkles in my wallet, and I have no idea how they got there. I don’t use glitter. There is no intentional glitter in the house. I try to avoid the stuff at all costs, but somewhere, somehow, I picked up a couple of hitchhikers.
In home news, DH is a quart or so low, so he’s getting more fresh blood tomorrow.
I sleep too much. I decided a nap was needed around 1:30 this afternoon; I just woke up. I hope I don’t fall asleep during The Wiz
Which Wiz? I stumbled across it on a channel called Aspire today, and they’ve nipped bits out here and there.
Cheese Wiz.
With Gourmet crackers.
Sari I think he should do it, but I am also an evil mom.
