I didn’t do laundry last night - my son was looking at a truck he wants to buy and asked me to check it out. It’s an hour drive each way, so it’s not like it’s right around the corner. That was my last night, it was a little late.
Laundry tonight, oh joy.
flytrap, cornsticks are cornbread made in a special pan to maximize the crusty goodness. I’m surprised that you havent been exposed during your tenure in the southern US. Southern Corn Sticks Recipe
doggio, how much liquor do you have on hand? 
I’m off irk til Tuesday.
I think I’ll choose kopek to drink to as I hav to take it easy for the same reason as sari.
Up in the middle of the night again.
I woke up at 2:30, Sah-son was still up YAY! so he could take care of the dog. Then he informs me he is out of food. If I want food delivered today I had to order it by 3am. I got the order in at 2:58 but I’d rather have taken my time and refined it a bit.
I’ve got lots of leftover Chinese food so I am good to go for a bit.
Twenty two more days and counting.
I’m pretty sure it’s “I say old chaps, pop your monocles on! Oh, and I’m terribly sorry to bother you, but would you mind holding my martini?”
Despite my normal habit of waking up sometime after 10, I got woken up at 6.45 by the stoopid cat, who’d managed to shut herself outside, and was meowing (and making what sounded like some kind of sheep noise, that cat’s odd even by cat standards), and I couldn’t get back to sleep after letting her in, so I’m up and thoroughly caffeinated already.
Today’s plan is making a banner for the student circus society, for the stall at the fresher’s fair, and hopefully doing some allotment stuff if the weather stays decent. It’s got pretty chilly lately, and soggy, so maybe I’ll focus on clearing out the shed so’s I can hide in there when it’s wet.
Up, caffeinated, and off to work in a bit. Helping in the da Hood store today. This is why I would never own a house in an area with a HOA. Although if they have to tear it down, I would replace it with a Stonehenge copy(an 8000yr old design can’t be “too modern”).
Red, I’m stocked. I gotta go on a beer and (coffee)bean run after work, it being payday and my Firday today. 
Magnum, I like doing laundry. Except when they hold the Children’s Riot Festival at the laundromat.
Look at the bright side. Now everyone knows who the neighborhood bitch is. Oh, and she’s in real estate? Is she the one who puts up those “We buy ugly houses” placards at intersections? I bet she is.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 64 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 94 for the day. The weather PTB say we have a sixty percent chance of rain Sattidy. Folks are comin’ over to hang at the cee-mint pond. I am smokin’ chikin boobs and laigs for Sattidy. I shall also smoke four <snerk> Boston butts <snerk> since I’ll have the smoker goin’. I have only one <snerk> smoked butt <snerk> left in the freezer. :eek:
Spidey can I be myself?
Ok, that’s all I got for now. Need more caffiene and rumbly tummy is hongry. Then, alas and alack irk purtification must commence. I am takin’ tomorrow off so at least this is my Firday.
Happy Thursday Y’all!
Blurf.
I need to find a couple of hand-raised roasting chickens, preferably daid and cleaned, so’s I can shove a half can of beer up their respective wazoos and put them on the grill this weekend. I think I know where to find what I want…
It’s a holiday weekend, so that means it’s time for a VunderBob Smokefest.
Happy Thorsday!
It’s a cool sunny breezy 74 degrees outside with a projected high of 85.
Nothing special on the agenda today. Just irk.
And when the game is over, everyone listens to this. (ignore the images, it’s the audio that’s important)
nuts, what ia a fresher’s fair? Something like a farmer’s market?
Off to pick up my minion to help with lugging laundry down to the laundry room and back. He gets pizza and a few hours away from his younger brothers for his trouble. Win-win. 
I have ordered so much stuff over the days. I keep getting text messages telling me where the various packages are but I’m never sure which package is being referred to.
My checking account hasn’t been this low in a long time.
The breeze coming in my window feels good this morning.
I have been informed that over the three day upcomin’ weekend, the orifice is bein’ re-painted. This means instead of dirty beige, it will now be clean beige. Thus [del]minion[/del] assistant and I have taken everything off the walls and put it all in our designated space to store stuff aka an empty cubicle out in the cubicle farm that encompasses a huuuuuuuuuge room in the center of the buildin’. I went down the street to the sto’ and bought cookies cause, well, cookies, and this is an occasion that deserves cookies. After all we did manual labor! :eek: [del]Minion[/del] Assistant says she has never had a boss who did stuff like bring goodies to the orifice to share. That is just sad.
Swampy, you can be yourself, you just can’t choose yourself. In this game, if you’re going to make ODP*, it needs to be because of someone else.

It’s just a day for the new students where, amongst other things, all the societies have stalls where they try and persuade the gullible newbies to sign up.
There’s a minimum number we have to catch for the university to allow the society to continue, so I try help out. It’s otherwise free.
Half cleared the shed out, then the wet started up again, so I’m sewing. Turns out I was doing it wrong yesterday, so I had to start by unpicking half of it. Bah. It’s getting there though.
Swampy, as you well know, good managers treat their people *right *and *fair *because in the end they make their managerial life easier through greater group effort and positive outlook.
Sadly this simple nugget of truth appears to be beyond the comprehension of 70% of managers, at a minimum.
Swampy likes cookies. Swampy has pockets. Swampy has a twuck. Hmmmm, is he a good manager or just a :eek: Cookie Monster :eek:???
