Just 'cause it’s there…Top of the page to ya!!!
Big ole Firday Blurf Howdy all. Irking trying to get a head start on 1st of the month. My office closes today at 1300 and does not reopen until Moanday morning in support of the Southernmost Air Spectacular. I shall hang here and then run by the air field to eyeball my spaces. I need to go buy sunscreen and a hat. I am thinking I will grab a Five Guys burger today while I am out shopping. If’n ya’ll don’t hear from me again it will be because i died of heat stroke over the weekend.
Happy Firday!
Is this Friday? The days are so blended together now with all the soccer stuff going on…spent 3 hours going over and over the team formations, then two hours out on the fields either evaluating or delivery stuff to coaches, then typed up my lists for an hour and e-mailed them out, all the while answering questions from coaches and parents…and I don’t even have a kid in the organization.
Way too much like work.
Still, we finally start playing games on Saturday, so there is that.
Juliet, I’ve been watching over a 100 little kids (albeit I give them back to their parents after and hour or so) for the past couple of weeks. Have fun…
swampy, were you a supervisor back in your work days? You’d be the kid I wouldn’t mind working for, organized and willing to pitch in.
Red, FCM, we used to have all the paper in the same room as the printer, so I saw the same behavior at times. And when the copier had a paper jam, more than a few folks just walked away, leaving the problem for the next poor soul to figure out.
shady, when you get old, you either get very finicky about what you eat or you don’t really give a damn anymore. Guess your cat is a finicky one…
Johnny, glad the damage wasn’t any worse to your pocketbook.
60F outside now heading for 73F with N.O.S. skies. One more massive soccer practice and then things can get back to normal (whatever that is).
Back from round 1 of erranding. We got our tax returns, picked up my meds, and ran by the credit union. Shortly, we’ll be running to Lowe’s for a wheel barrow and some rebar. The shop floor is all ready for the cement truck - that’ll come Tues or Weds.
Thus goes my day so far.
It’s a dark and gloomy day out, although somewhat warm, in the high 50s.
Since it’s rainy, I don’t know if we will go to the park or not.
It’s supposed to be in the 70s tomorrow, and then drop below freezing Sunday morning.
I ordered a tiller and it should be here tomorrow. It’s a very small one, will use the same batteries as the weed-whacker, so I hope it will get the job done.
My yard isn’t that big, but I want the entire side between the sidewalk and the fence tilled.
Just reading about all the soccer stuff makes my brain hurt, MetalMouse.
I volunteered to stay late last night (2am) and slept in today and just chilled totally. So now I am trying to convince myself to get motivated. I am not doing it very well. Why is it too much rest makes me even more tired than too little?
I think my crown was installed crooked. At first, when I chewed, it hurt, but I figured it was because it was new. Now, the tooth in front of it and above it both hurt when I chew. I know the crown was a little crooked at first; when they installed it, I felt like there was something stuck between my teeth and it was pressing on the tooth in front of it. I told them and they “fixed” it. But a week and a half later, the pain has spread to the teeth it contacts.
I really don’t want to go back to the dentist. I hate it so much. But I paid a lot of money for this crown, and I’ll be damned if it’s just going to cause me pain. I stopped spending money on things that hurt me when I stopped buying ridiculously uncomfortable high heels.
I took Roxy to Food Lion, then took her outside for a bit. That should tire her out, right? She was yawning, so I gave her a bottle, and when she finished, she started running around her bedroom. So no nap for now.
I also forgot the whole quiet-toddlers-are-up-to-something phenomenon. There were a bunch of tissues pulled out of the box and spread on the living room floor. She was kind enough to hand one to me. Kids!!! :smack:
Started at 7:30am looking at the night’s e-mails. Except for a brief meal and a bathroom/Sudoku break, I’ve been there all day answering questions and working things out. I’ve got a soccer practice at 5:30 and I already feel beat.
Juliet, go back there and get what you paid for; then once your give them bad reviews forever.
ruble, I’ve noticed the same thing; when I get over 8 hours in the sack, I’m usually still tired…the human body is a strange machine…
Sari, happy tilling. Once I get through this weekend and have the teams all set, so the kids become the coaches problems, it’ll ease up a lot.
73F outside. Guess I can put the sweatshirt and sweatpants away.
Now to staple 101 3-page forms together while drink Pepsi and eating White Castles…
Pizza for supper. Daughter and SIL are having a date night, so we’ll ride herd on Roxy. She’s sleeping at the moment - daughter FINALLY got her down for a late nap. I’ll look to get her up around 7, if she doesn’t wake before then.
Meanwhile, knittage shall ensue!
Howdy Y’all! Stuff got taken care of and supper got cooked and et. I feel tahrd and may go to bed soonish. Don’t care if’n it ain’t even seven p.m. yet.
MetalMouse I spent a lot of time in management but I was a manager who worked (and sometimes got irked) as well.
I hope that the air show goes well butters!
Mooooom, put Nelson and RoxStar in the same room and she’ll use her opposable thumbs to pull the tissues out and Nelson will immediately shred them for your tidying pleasure. 
Irked and knocked off around 4:30. Hell week is complete and the long weekend shall commence. I’m taking Monday off for a doctor’s appointment in the morning and a dentist appointment in the afternoon. Such excitement. Tomorrow, I shall venture out to take the recycling to the convenience center, take tax stuff to the preparer and go to World Market for the restocking of the coffee. Suncay will be a lazy day.
Work sucked. More tomorrow.
dreaming about being seduced by Flytrap again? :p;)
Soccer practice went well tonight, we have a visiting coach from Brazil who somehow manages to keep 40 -8 and -9 year olds interested and under control by himself (albeit us other coaches are nearby to provide ‘the muscle’. Tomorrow begins the games and I’ll be on the fields from 8am to 3pm. Then come home and finalize the soccer teams and e-mail them to the coaches. Can’t wait for Sunday…
All y’all take care now. I’m checking my e-mail one last time and then heading off to bed.
I will be attending a “Project Appleseed” event this Saturday and Sunday, 0830-1700 both days. Saturday’s high is expected to be ~25C, and Sunday’s maybe ~15C, with rain overnight between the two days.
This is a firearms/marksmanship training event wherein it is expected each attendee will put ~500 rounds down range. Thankfully this particular venue allows no rifles more expensive to shoot than .22 long rifle; 3.5 cents per round is a whole lot better than 35 to 45 cents per round for an AR-15 platform weapon. I expect distances to target to be in the 10 meter to 50 meter range, and am pretty confident that my rifle is sighted fine out to 20-30 meters, so there’ll be some challenge, as I am not using any enhanced optics, just stock iron sights.
I’ll just leave this link here in case anyone’s interested: https://appleseedinfo.org/.
The week is done and Maryland can rest assured that the last Perfect Packages are gone for the week; until tomorrow when my replacement breaks everything.
**Red **- Nelson just shreds? Higgs likes to nosh on tissues. ugh.
**FCD **has a dentist appt at 8. Daughter and I will be working in the yard a bit while he’s gone, then they’re taking Roxy to visit my mom and sister. That’ll free up my afternoon to do laundry. Rah.
And I’m going into the office for a few hours tomorrow so I don’t fall too far behind. I have such exciting weekends…
Happy Saturday!
Happy Saturday!
It’s a cloudy 50 degrees outside. Supposed to get up to 75, and rain.
I hope to get some yard irk done today, but probably not.
Will be doing taxes today and tomorrow. I hate doing taxes. I have no idea if I will owe something, I don’t even want to think about this stuff, it makes my brain hurt.
My son is going to want help with his school irk, lots of proofreading, and it is going to be proofreading cites, RAH! His business writing professor is tough, he will take off one letter grade for one misspelled word. We both will read his assignments over and over, and over again. I am going to knock the crap out of Sah-son if he doesn’t stop spelling counselor as consoler. Word doesn’t pick it up as being incorrect, so he just keeps on typing. He uses the word counselor a lot in his psych class. I told him until he stops using consoler I won’t proofread his work anymore. Too damned annoying.
My new computer sucks, I hate it.
It keeps trying to switch my browser to IE. It keeps trying to switch my search to Bing. Ads for McAfee keep coming up. Probably a way to delete all that shit, I need to get in there and figure it out.
Yeah, I’m feeling bitchy lately.
Break time! SIL and I just spent the last hour or so moving dirt. My back aches and I’m sweating like crazy. Gonna need another shower…
I’m too old for this stuff.
Mooooom, my waste baskets are covered ones for a reason, which means that when I pull a tissue to use at night, I leave it on the night stand to dispose of the next morning (foot lever waste basket). If I neglect to throw it away before I get in the shower, it is thoroughly shredded just south of my pillow when I get out. Blech!
Up, breakfasted, caffeinating, towels and sheets in the wash and puppy crate cleaned. Once KP is done, I’ll clean the bathtub, shower and take the recycling to the convenience center down the street. Coffee needs to be procured today too, since I’m down to half a pound. :eek:
