KT did our taxes Saturday. Our state refund just covered our federal amount with a couple dollars left over. Nothing like planning it juuuuuuuuuuust right! 
It’s end of fiscal year here. So the servers are running slooooooooooooooooow while others run their yearly reports. Fun fun.
So I’m here but feeling somewhat crabby so I’ll go sit in the corner by myself instead of spreading the grumpies.
I think what we need for purification is a
BIG! BAD!! FAHR!!!
I don’t have to do nuttin, either, swampy, but if I want to find a job I got to peruse the ads, network with nabobs, and revise and refine my resume and such. It’s harder work than a real job. 
No snow here but lots of rain. S’okay cause we need rain.
Tupug
taxi, I’m hoping our taxes will be a zero net sum also, but I’m not too optimistic. What pisses me off is both of us claim married with zero, plus I have an extra $100 withheld biweekly, and we still end up having to write a check. It’s because every year, our mortgage interest goes down, and that’s about our only writeoff. Well, that, and some donations, but once we lost our daughter as a dependent, we’ve been getting reamed by the tax man.
I don’t mind paying my share, but doggone, when I see these ads where people settle for a teensy fraction of what they owe, I get pissed all over again. Dammit, pay what you owe. I resent picking up the slack for you. grrrrrr
On the other hand, supper smells yum - ham and potato casserole with onions and peas n carrots and cheddar on top. It should be ready for ingesting in about 15 minutes.
We’re being threatened with rain/snow mix tomorrow, and snow on Friday and Saturday. I am not amused. I was hoping to take the dogs to the groomer on Sat, but I learned never to take them when it’s icky - I end up with an icky car. We shall see…
Looooooong day. I am still employed. Kinda.
‘Allegedly’ they are moving me back to the US…:rolleyes:
Snowed here to today. Big fat fluffy flakes. Pure what snow (see what I did there!)
However the snow is no more. I need to go to bed. I’s tahred.
Hi!
So…have they said when they’re moving you back to the U.S., ** mmmmm**? Hope you gave them a deadline.
Feel better, LiLi!
I need to do my taxes. But first, I need to put the Valentine exchange list together. Had bread pudding for dinner. Yum.
Pure? Hmmmmm. Have to think about that one. Pure smartass, perhaps.
Off to assemble lists.
Hugs.

Don Wanna put it out…
Huh, while I was at it I purified the bathroom sink and toilet and shower and all and everything in the kitchen but the sink (I need to leave bleachy stuff sitting on it for awhile so will do that overnight – let’s hear it for white sinks. sigh That way the cat won’t get into it since I close the kitchen door at night what with the broken cupboard latches which I need to get fixed since my house is now decent for other people to see.)
I went up the mountain to look down today. It was pretty! It was bright and sunny and not cold and I can almost, but not quite, see my house from there. I started envying the skiers. I can see why they do what they do. Sooooooo pretty!
If I had any energy, I’d ramble, but I don’t.
Bibbity bobbity boo
I managed to survive another Monday. Had to stop and air up one of my tires, in the rain, because it was low.
I’m not totally pure, but I’m not totally evil either.
I need to figure out what I’m cooking for dinner. I rushed out of the house this morning and didn’t take any meat out of the freezer.
It’s going to be a loooooong week. Sigh…
I just had THE MOST DISGUSTING SOUP THAT I’VE EVER TASTED! I’m sad to say that it made a return trip. It was Campbell’s Chunky Cheesy Broccoli with Potato and Chicken or something like that. G-R-O-S-S.
Ok, off to find something to kill the taste with.
Ewww. I’ll make a note never to try that kind of soup, Pie.
Spent a lovely evening matching up Valentines. Gonna do a last QA before sending them out tomorrow.
Very sleepy…Nitey nite, all.

Worked, went to a bar, and watched the Canes lose.

The roof! The roof! The roof is on fire! We don’t need no water, let the @$$@# burn!
Evening all. I am safe and sound at Mum and Dad’s place, where the weather is definitely not cold - it’s summer here but has been raining, so not too hot - just right for sitting around in a t-shirt and shorts. drinking cider!
Today, I celebrated my solo status by doing something that would not be possible with a husband and daughter in tow - I spent 5 hours at the mall!!! It was faaaabulous daahhhhlings! It was really nice to come home and buy all the stuff that I can’t find in Bahrain, but now my feet hurt and my bank balance is a little sore as well! 
Tomorrow (Wednesday), I have my procedure and get to shell out a bunch of moolah for the pleasure (for surgeon, anaethesiologist, hospital/day case unit, pathology, etc., etc.); still keeping my fingers crossed for the health insurer to eventually pick up the tab! Fortunately, it will be a non-invasive procedure and I will be home by evening, so after a couple of days, I should be up and about again, with pathology results expected next Monday. Fingers crossed those come back clear, then I can go home again next Thursday!
And I am really pleased that I live in a country that (touch wood) has no income tax.
Let us not have a fire, please, at least not while there is Fluffy White Stuff Falling From D’ski. Fire alarms are bad enough without having to go shopping for new clothes.
Appendages crossed for you, …, inasmuch as I don’t need to uncross them to move around. Moving around with all appendages crossed could get complicated.
Excellent news on the shopping Dotty and good luck for the procedure.
Raining here today so no more snow whoohoo!
I am updating all my tracking sheets today and working on two presentations…urgh. Tyring to leave the place tidy for the next idiot/fool/wonderful person who takes this horrible job
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN Thus beginneth my work week.
dotty yay on the shoppin’ expedition and all appropriate/inappropriate appendages crossed re the procedure.
It’s rainin’ here. No big surprise cause it’s supposed to be rainin’.
Judgin’ from all the repeats in his post, I’d say doggio had a good time at the bar.
Need more caffiene.
Happy Tuesday Y’all!
No snow here today, just rain, but that makes me much happier than seeing fluffy white stuff falling from the sky.
I was very evil last night because I made yummy dinner and scoffed it in front of 'im indoors who can’t have any becuase he’s still dieting for another week. Even worse, I made a large quantity of yummy stuff so I have enough for two more meals. He will not love me by the end of the week.
This morning I have to go to a team meeting in my team’s new offices which is about 10mins walk from my office. They have very kindly said that I don’t have to go every week if I don’t want to, but it’s nice to get a break from here and see the rest of the crowd, right?
Today I am copying scripts from the students who failed the exam and they need to be sent off to our external examiner for her to review, and they will be re-marked internally too. This time there are only six fails and one borderline case so that’s much better than the 27 who failed last time!
Mumpers, I have a dilemma. A good friend of mine who is single, has recently begun an affair with a married man. She is all happy and sparkly about the whole thing and thinks it’s the best thing since baked beans. I (and others) are slightly less chuffed with this becuase the guy’s cheating on his wife. He’s also one of her work colleagues. The thing is, she’s so keen to bring him along to one of our nights out and show him off, but I am not sure I really want to meet him. She might be really happy to be shagging the arse off him, but I cannot get past the whole adultery thing.
Her friends are fairly certain that this affair will not last, and when it all goes horribly wrong, she will need her mates to get her through it. It would be unfair of us to simply say we don’t want to meet him, and if we do meet him and are just cool and distant, she will notice. What’s to do?
**Dotty **- yay on enjoying your freedom, and ::fingers crossed:: good results on the procedure!
ems – so are you still gainfully employed? More seriously, is there a target date for re-re-locating you in the US?
IMO? She is not an adulteress. He is – but so long as she isn’t hurt by the repercussions (OK, big “if” here!!) it’s his problem.
Be there for her. Both now – tell her your opinion (that it will, probably sooner rather than later, go pear-shaped) – and later, when it does. I mean, why should she be the only person in the world to be rescued from the human folly of failed love and the heartbreak that follows…?
Burn baby, burn
Disco Inferno!!
Burn baby, burn
Burn that mama down…
Don’t thank me for this horrible ear-worm
Evereyone else – did not read recently, yay, boo, hugs and especially gropes…
