Yeah, I was sometimes lit durin’ high school English class myself. 
I vote we all take off early today! All in favor, I’ll race ya to the parking lot!!! 
OK, maybe not just yet, but I’m thinking I may be gone by 2… Meanwhile, I’ll have me a little lunch.
I think y’all should take off early.
I can;t because I want my bonus.
It’s incredibly boring though because with so many working it’s a long time between calls and just sitting here waiting for the phone to ring is hard.
That would imply he was actually done at somepoint.
Either before or after, I wanna watch the game on at that time. I can be productive & watch the interwebs at the same time. :rolleyes:
You know you’re getting old when you’re excited about getting your fence replaced.
I’m so excited!
I’m in on leaving by two. Let us arise and go thence.

**lieu **- we’re having a fence replaced also - at least, a section of fence. Woohoo!
We’ve got chain link around 3 sides of the yard, but the shared boundary with our next door neighbor was fenced with what is now rusty, partly crushed welded wire with big spaces. We’re taking that out and installing new welded wire fence with 2"X4" openings. It’s a Higgs containment system. All the fencing and posts has been purchased - we’re just waiting for our hired minions to finish the installation. The first 150’ are in place, and we’ve got 200’ more - hope that’s enough. In any event, it’s nice to let the dog out and not worry about her going into the neighbor’s yard or beyond. (So far, she hasn’t figured out that she can get around the end of the fence.)
Lunch time!!
Oh good grief… My idiot cube neighbor - you know, the one who has a fit when her son has bananas?? - she’s telling the other idiot girl up here how activited charcoal draws the “toxins” out of your teeth. :rolleyes: How did I survive 59 years with all these dental toxins??? :eek:
Teh stoopit - it burns so bad… <headdesk>
You never cancel because of the loss of a fish friar. However, should the chip monk get sick, substitute Spanish rice.
Because most of them still allow smoking? There is nothing worse than watching people in early recovery huddled in the rain trying to catch a smoke.
Get in line in that processional,
Step into that small confessional,
There, the guy who’s got religion’ll
Tell you if your sin’s original.
If it is, try playin’ it safer,
Drink the wine and chew the wafer,
Two, four, six, eight,
Time to transubstantiate!

ON another note, I worked with a Pastor Bob when I first became Lutheran. He was one of these tiny little old men who could have been anything between 75 and 110 years old. We were fixing some stuff for Christmas and he gave his thumb this mighty whack with a hammer and shouted “EXPLETIVE DELETED!!!” He pulled his thumb back, gave it the mandatory suck, and then sort of said to the distance “Oh well ---- merde occurs”
Which is where I stole “merde occurs” from.
So I am not sure what got in to me today, but so far I have swept and wiped down the kitchen, started a small compost container (still need to get the worms), am planning on baking oatmeal cookies, staked the sunflowers growing in our seed pots (I ended up killing 4 of them because I tied them too tight and broke them, eeek), responded to several work emails even though it is my day off, and still feel wildly unaccomplished.
I read Apes post and now I need a nap. Other people’s productivity wears me out!
It’s silly isn’t it but I’ve wanted it done since we moved in two years back but have been waiting on the neighbors, one sick and one moving. It’s dog-eared cedar and fortunately neither cared about the ‘good side’ so we’re not paying for it to be double sided, except me for my non-shared stretch. The only tough thing is watching these fence guys plod through your carefully manicured landscape. That’s going to take some rehabilitation efforts over the coming month.
Let us arise and go fence. Or nap.
LOL. In my defense I have to get as much as I can done before noon, because after noon I am dead to the world with exhaustion. Baby growing saps all my energy. 
so - I’m going to check out an apartment tomorrow - it’s a bit farther than I’d like, but I know the area it’s in.
However, there’s another I won’t be able to see until next week, but it’s more geographically desirable and less expensive, so I don’t want to make a commitment to the first one until I’ve seen the second one. sigh
**Apes **- you know that baby will continue to wear you down till she’s graduated, employed, and living on her own… 
You sure you’re not in the pre-delivery nesting stage? 
Suggest that they rinse their teeth with filtered aquarium water.
Sell it to them. Revenge is sweet.
Fairychat, do you know anything about growing spirulina for fish food?
Time is ticking down, and “clear my desk before I leave on vacation” is looking more and more like “find a big box.”
My fish/aquarium knowledge is very limited - my spousal unit is the expert and he’s never grown his own food, beyond the algae that the snails eat.
Time to go erranding, then home…
