It’s really disgustingly nice outside.
Know what would be nicer, though? If my manager would be kind enough to let us leave early today. It is a long weekend, after all. sniff
Home - facing a long weekend - yay! It’s gorgeous and the house is open. Tomorrow, **FCD **and I will go get breakfast, then go to Lowe’s where I can get a couple of big planters and some 'mater plants and some manure and whatever else I need to grow some 'maters and cukes and maybe peppers. Once I get the planters all planted, I’m going to attack the front yard. Then who knows…
Speaking of kittehs, idiot Taz got out today. Apparently he exited the front door, then went around to the back yard and freaked. He stood there all puffed up, and **FCD **just picked him up and took him back in. What a marroon!!
We won’t find out officially who our bosses are till Monday. How exciting… :rolleyes: I swear, if they’re trying to drive me to retire, it’s working.
Quiche for supper tonight. Other than that, I got nothing.
Howdy Y’all! Three down and two to go!
My sinuses ache! AAAAAAAAARGH!!! I want to go to Maundy Thursday service tonight but if’n I don’t feel better I ain’t goin’. I’ll take some Benadryl [sp]TM[/sup] and go beddy bye early. Then again, it is Holy Week and I am supposed to suffer. 
Lemon chicken ‘n rice is (are?) bakin’ away in the oven. Smells soooooo good!
MOOOOOOM is havin’ <snerk> a quickie <snerk> for dindin!
In other news, it’s 84 degrees Amurrkin outside. If’n it weren’t for the *&^%#@$ pollen I’d be outside enjoyin’ it. Also, YP must pay for an egregious thing he has done. He has caused me to have a bad case of earworm. He posted this little gem on facebook: “Just another Manic Maundy.” He shall pay. He must pay.
Ok, need to go sort out some vegetation to go with dindin.
Later Y’all!
Trying - not so successfully - to wrap up work that needs to get done today before I take off for home for the funeral tomorrow. Why does it seem that nothing works right when you need to leave by a set time?
At least I had the foresight to schedule a massage for tonight 'cause I am stressed out and starting to get muscle pain from it. Bleh.
There’re a coupla fake crab/mushroom/onion/swiss quiches in the oven. (swampy, you are *sooooooo *juvenile! 
) We’ll be eating in just under an hour.
Scruffy seems to think I should be feeding her. She can wait another 30 minutes, the brat!!
That’s all. Back to the funnies…
One word for the day:
AUGH!
My work computer crapped out this morning. Went to fire it up and got a bluescreen STOP error. Made some phone calls, delivered it to the appointed tech and about an hour later found out that the hard drive was failing and that a sector containing part of the Registry is gone.
The lucky thing is that they had a spare new drive, so they’re in the process of re-imaging it and I should be able to have it back tomorrow morning. The bad part is that the drive is encrypted, and I have about eight years worth of emails indexed on it, otherwise known as my long-term memory. This is probably gone for good, and no, I couldn’t back it up to the group server because mail files have been historically banned from the servers because they’re so freakishly large and until recently, server space has been expensive.
If this is the universe’s version of an April Fool’s joke, well, it’s not a good one.
I have dayslike this…
rosie’s sig to all.
I agree today’s forum names are a hoot.
Today’s amusing tidbit. The Muppets. (NOM).
Off to church in a bit…
GT
I personally love this one.
sigh I’m off to run to the grocery store. Anybody know somebody with a lab coat to spare? I need it for an art project (or rather want it, I could probably manage something without it)
I cannot reconcile the image of cute kitteh holding scary gun - it seems too incongruous
I hate everyone.
Carry on.
Someone must not like the kitteh pictures.
MWAH!
I didn’t even look at them. I am home from hell. I swear to god, I hate people. Ok, not the pts and not (most) of my coworkers, but the higher ups. If I am told one more time that “we’re all in the same boat” I’ll scream. We are NOT all in the same boat. They all have had 8 days of practice with this computer stuff; I am on day 2. Yet I am expected to be as fast and to take more than 2 pts etc. :mad: I am too old for this shit.
And next week, my day 3, will be their day 12 or so… As they increase in speed and competency, I will fall that much farther behind. It’s not that I won’t get it or can’t get it; it’s that it’s retarded, redundant and doesn’t tell you if and when you miss some aspect of charting. I can’t even go into detail w/o reliving the whole day and I’d rather not.
Sign of progress: I didn’t have to go back in to add some charting once I got home. Whoopee.
(repeat)
I have dayslike this…
Spring faked us out. It’s supposed to snow more tomorrow night, though I don’t know how much will stick. But it’s been cold enough that if it snows overnight, some of it definitely will. It’s April! Spring is a bitch sometimes. I have had enough of the white stuff for now.
Irk was particularly irksome this evening. Nothing like being alone and on the phone non-stop with caller after caller for nearly an hour straight. Not even twenty seconds to catch my breath inbetween calls. sigh I survived, but I am irked by irk.
We’re supposed to have a big storm blowing in. Fairly high sustained winds, with stronger gusts, lots of rain, and potential blizzard conditions in the passes. I thought it was spring, dammit.
I survived another day of irk. My baby sister’s plane should be landing very soon. I can’t wait to see her. I’m hoping we can meet up tomorrow evening and I’ll take her over to my friend’s house for a girls night out get together.
There isn’t much else going on here in Taterland. I just want 3:30 pm Friday to hurry and get here.
I got stuck at irk, so I missed the game at the bar. Extra irk tomorrow.
Man, why couldn’t I get COOL title? I mean, really, “newbie member”? I’m hardly new. I think I got gigged because I chided NinetotheSky. He/she? wanted chocolate love offerings and I accused him/her of being new, because everyone knows chocolate love offerings are to be sent to **FCM. **
Suuuuureeeee, they say it’s a random generator, but I don’t believe it. It’s just a leeetle to coincidental.
