me, three
Irk is exactly that so far today. First a very important website has decided to crash and burn. The error message is this:
Error 503 Service Unavailable

At least it’s an entertaining error message. Then I have someone who wants to have his wages put onto a pay card (I hates those things!) instead of direct deposit. I remind him this is Wednesday and payday is Firday but we’d try. An hour and a half later, with numerous phone calls, amazingly, this is accomplished! Still took an hour and a half of the day to do it. I let him do the talkin’ and he kept askin’ the person on the phone to repeat herself as he’s DEAF AS A POST. Hey, the guy’s 87 years old. Would I have done this much for anybody else. Truth is, probably not. However, my own father, if he were still with us, would be 88, so it’s kinda like I’m doin’ this for my father. Thus, yes, I would do all that for him.
I still have a two hour conference call to live through today.
ICK!
That would be cool. You all make me wish I *was *making a video. What I’m making is a Halloween costume along the theme of “I come in peas.”
This is true. Around here, we aren’t so forward as to fill in what someone else is bringing. So there are two people who constantly have to hear “you’re going to be bringing X, right?” in various tones for weeks before each pot luck. Think of the pestering you’re being saved.
Funny how the same music volume which is loud enough to wake the dead at 2am is a mere whisper at 6pm.
I had to use the frog for my card pic as the heron wasn’t big enough.
Th pic has been submitted and is awaiting approval.
I need to close my window a bit, the breeze is chilly.
I heard to mice are back although I haven’t seen any signs. My mother wants to get an exterminator and then she looks around and wonders what good it will do. I said don’t look at me, it’s not my hoard.
It’s not really as bad as I make it out to be but it is bad enough.
It will never be go home time again. I shall be at irk for eternity. Woe!
Today is sucktastic, thank OG I have band practice tonight.

Amen to that. I got all involved in thinking about the past around lunchtime and I ended up totally depressed and morose and wishing it was at least raining so the weather would match my mood.
Then I watched thisand made myself feel better. But I’m still at work. 
=^.^=
this is why I want to come back as a well loved house cat
Thank you for that, Draelin. That caused my lips to move in an upward motion. I’m feeling depressed, I’ve already taken a nap, eaten everything in sight, but all I want to do right now is go back to bed. But I have to work til 6. Blehhh.
Howdy from da cave! Time finally moved so I could leave irk. Stoopid conference call. Anywho, jambalaya for dindin. It’s acutally all made cause I made it last night. Go Me! Made a green sallit too. Gonna go pop some garlic bread into the oven to toast up shortly cause garlic bread goes good with jambalaya. Also tonight is Evening Prayer over to the church house so I have that to look forward to doin’. Yep, irk was sucktastic but hometime is all good!
ETA: First on Four!
Speaking of prayer, DH got a nibble on job-hunting from a staffing place that thinks he’d be a good bet for more than one possibility they have. He’s meeting with them Monday, so any prayers/good wishes/etc. would be appreciated.
It’s a rainy day, altho it wasn’t raining when I got to the office. For some reason that I absolutely don’t remember, I left all the windows open about 2". It wasn’t supposed to get hot today and I knew it was going to rain. So why would I leave the windows open??? Anyway, my pants are still damp from sitting on a wet seat. ugh.
Work was meh - I’m doing an as-built of a circuit board - what a pain in the patoot that is!! It’s just tedious, and my eyes are bad enough that trying to read a scale graduated in 1/64 inch increments is a challenge. Whatever - Missy Prissy leaves me alone and I can just work in peace, so there’s that.
We’re going to Kevin’s for supper - Weds night is fried chicken night and my sweetie lurves their fried chicken. I’ll probably do the crab cake, or I’ll see what’s on special. I hope they have their fried 'shrooms - they’s yummmm!
C’mon Firday!!!
If you come back into the custody of Mrs. Plant (v.3.0) do not fear, I have plenty of Toe Repair Powder.
And go easy on the orchids, okay?
I swear, every crazy bitch in the state of Florida is in the Blue Ridge right now. Go on back home, we don’t want ya!
I haven’t decided on supper yet. I guess I should peruse my pantry and see what I want. Then I’ll cut up some more bags. I’m making another bag bag in case one of mine rips. That and they’re fun.
Thank you
Cheers
Jim
Bookie: meatball recipe? (See swampy’s recipe rule.). Blog is here: http://mumpersrecipes.blogspot.com/
swampy, dearest, liking or not liking tree rats is irrelevant. This squirrel is in Sri Lanka. And is a baby. And an orphan. And is very very very cute. One must click: Abandoned Baby Squirrel Rescued By Filmmaker, Becomes Best Friend | Bored Panda
So, there. 
Tired. Long irk day. Want nap.
Hugs all.

I had to send that link to The Rugrat.
Home from Evening Prayer over to the church house. I was Slackolyte and once again the place is still standin’ so I done good.
gt I have no doubt that Sri Lankan squirrel is probably hideous in some way. Remember this is also the home of the dreaed Sri Lankan Spider So There!
Prayers sent, and inappropriate appendages crossed.
A Sri Lankan squirrel will end up being 4 feet tall, and have poison fangs.:eek:
Cool and rainy.
