Why I WON'T start this MMP

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Yes, the often do hurt when trying to put them on your arm. That’s why everyone who originally thinks they’re great isn’t so interested anymore.

The donut fair is not here either. There is only one type of donut that could tempt me anymore and they only make it seasonally and I try to never go there to see if it’s in season because I’m sure if I got my hands on one or two of them, it wouldn’t be pretty. It’s a chocolate cremestick filled with chocolate creme. I’ve probably mentioned them here before but they are sooooooo yummy. Actually, I probably could just eat one now, but who needs the temptation anyways.
I am up early because my bed has started hurting my back again. It’s kind of strange because it hurt my back so I switched to another bed for a couple of months then after he passed away I decided I needed to be in the room with two windows instead of one because I needed more light and so I’ve been sleeping in my bed again with no problems for almost two months. All of a sudden it’s become unsleepable (like my new word?) again. Not sure what to do about it. Maybe I’ll try flipping the mattress to see if that helps. I don’t really have the money to buy a new one for at least a month or two and I don’t really want to go back into the darker room.

So, now that I’m up I think I’m going to get started on my paper.

heading to the doc’s today - it’s acting like it wants to become bronchitis

83

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up, caffienated, brekkied and at irk. ‘Tis a loverly 62 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 88 for the day and dry, dry, dry. Looks like we’re on a warmin’ trend with no rain in sight. Sigh.

I had to leave da cave early to go meet OYKW. We grabbed a bizkit at the Booger King and then I followed him to the car place so he could leave his car for service and took him to irk. I’m a good boyfriend, what can I say. :smiley: He has bribed a co-irker with N.O.L. to take him to pick up his car when it’s done. Resourceful ain’t he!

Taters great news! Continued prayers and good thoughts headed out for dad.

Hope the doc can diagnose and treat your ailment Rosie!

flytrap I won’t even go there. If anybody is teh stoopit enough to try that, then get out of the gene pool now! The brisket sounds nummy. I shall try that soon.

I want a donut and a waffle. It’s all MOOOOOOM’S and ShinyCat’s fault.

Ok, gotta get busy with irk stuff.

Happy Hump Day Y’all!

Mrs. Plant rocks.
We watch the TV show Warehouse 13.
Mrs. Plant got a Farnsworth sound for my ringtone on her phone, and the screen picture on her phone is a Farnsworth. Cool!

85

Belated blurf.

Moooooooom, still watching the Dead Like Me reruns? I have to admit I don’t like the sanitized dialog. I think VWife will be getting the DLM boxed set for an upcoming holiday.

86

Ok, everyone. You can either skip my posts today if it gets too annoying or you can cheer me on. I’m determined to finish my damn paper today and be done with the Summer from hell once and for all. And since I seem to have developed paper writing ADD in my later years, I need frequent breaks. Like, after each page really.

So.

I’m going to come here and post after each page is done!

And, here I am, page one is history! (Only 9 more to go!)

I’m off to get a snack and tackle page two! :smiley:

Also,** rosie**, I hope you feel better soon!

87

Bunz, I’ll have a swift kick to the rear ready for your use should you lose your motivation. Feel free to claim it if the need arises.

88

:smiley:

Look at me, I’m on page 3! Still going strong and still hungry. I think I’m not going to worry about calories too much today lest it deter me from my mission.

Off to get another snack and then on to page 4!!

89

StickyBuns after you finish page 10 you can have ice cream. Howzzat for motivation? :smiley:

90

Are you going to deprive her if it’s only a 9-pager? :dubious:

91

And now, each page update must rhyme! :smiley:

Happy blurfday!

This morning it was 65 degrees out at 6:30; felt absolutely blissful.

And now, not only do I want a donut, but there’s a donut shop, a REAL one <I love mexican pastry shops!> only a couple blocks away.
Such temptation!!

Today’s cookage shall be albondigas. I really want to make more posole, as I ate it all up it was so good last time! but I don’t need that much pork in my system, hehe.

92

Blurf. Other than that I got nothing.

93

I have had N.O.L. and now I have a chawklit chawklit chip brownie. Life is good.

BBBobbio If StickyBuns reported in after one page and said only nine pages to go, then the number of pages she has to write equals ten. So There! :stuck_out_tongue:

94

Eesh, anyone who wants rain- come on over, bring a bucket!

Still glad I’m not camping, and really hoping it’s going to clear up a bit by friday, when I am planning to go do silly things in a field full of silly people for two days.

Spent today and yesterday helping a friend move the last of her stuff out of her old place, 'cos it’s finally being sold, which meant driving through 'orrid Welsh rain for several hours. Still probably one more trip, but that’s not going to be for another two weeks, and hopefully it won’t be so soggy and nasty to drive in by then. Hah. It’s in Wales, of course it’ll be raining.

Anyway, I’m somewhat tired, so just going to see if there’s something easy to heat up in the cupboard, then I thinks I’m going to watch a film or something.

:: Phone Rings :: (Looks at caller ID, thinks Oh Damn it’s Clueless Idiot (CI) where’s the asprin and the bourbon)

Me: Good Afternoon, irkplace, this is da bear.

CI: I forgot to fax in my timesheet last Friday. (NOTE: Participants are supposed to fax in timesheets to payroll every other Friday. Da Bear ain’t got nuttin’ to do with payroll)

Me: CI (in my head, go eat a plate of raw fart blossoms) you know if you don’t get it in on time, meaning by five p.m. Monday (payroll gives those such as CI plenty of time bless their hearts), you will not get paid this Friday. Did you get it in by five p.m. on Monday?

CI: No because [del] I have the intelligence of a plate of rotten raw fart blossoms[/del] I just remembered I forgot to fax it in. Can you call and tell them I’m faxing it in now and to please pay me on Friday?

Me: (In my head, I have to remember to bring in a bottle of aspirin and a bottle of bourbon) I have no control over that, it’s YOUR responsibility to get YOUR timesheet in on time. If it’s late, you won’t get paid until Friday of next week because payroll is only done once a week and it’s too late this week.

CI: So you won’t help me?

Me: (In my head No I won’t because I am a big ol’ meanie pants high on aspirin and bourbon or I would be by now if I had remembered to bring 'em in) I CAN’T help you. I have nothing to do with payroll. You know this because we have had this conversation before. I will, however, place another disciplinary note in your file about this. You can expect a letter of corrective action from the main office after I do this. I’m doing this hoping you’ll remember it’s YOUR responsibility to get your timesheet in on time so you can get paid on time.

CI: That’s mean. They might fire me.

Me: I’m following the rules. If you did that too, there would be no problem and you know that. You won’t be fired for one letter of corrective action but it will mean everything you do for a while program wise will be monitored closely. So, do what you’re supposed to and all will be good.

CI: You still don’t have to do that.

Me: This conversation is over. I suggest you get your timesheet in now and just accept the fact you won’t get paid this week. Goodbye.

(Considers going to liquor store up the street where they sale both bourbon and aspirin. For real. There’s a little display of aspirin at the cash register!)

I may just go ahead and eat my other brownie.

96

Hooray! Yes, you are correct, it is a 10 page paper.

I’m alive and on page 5!

(See? I’m being good, I kept right on working through page 4 and shoved it out the door. Ha!)

Seriously, though, doing this makes me damn hungry.

97

Those little adds at the bottom of videos have always been annoying, but now they’re just idiotic.

98

How was your doctor visit, rosie?

I’m on page seven and headed for leaven(ed) bread because I’m hungry again!

I’m actually pretty frazzled at this point. I think it’s time to take a longer break.

99

Bear, chase the aspirin and brownie with a slug (or 2 or 3) of Wild Turkey. Then pass the bottle up north.

back from doc with an antibiotic and the rest of the week off.
