Office Work.......

[Buff Hooligans]

Hi guys, I have to be brief on the computer this moring. Wet snow storm - The power keeps blipping and blinking off and I do'nt have a surge protector on this thing. My car got stuck half in the road this morning during a valiant attempt to get to work, only to come back in a see that my boss had left a message to not bothering driving in . He called about ten minutes after I left to drive there. He knows it takes me 20 min to get to work! I am filled with wrath at him.

Spent the last three days being sick with a stomach bug, after being sick with a cold for two weeks. I'm beat , tired, anti-life.

I have to leave the computer now, but good luck with little Napkin, what a sweetie! (Orchy & I have poor eyesight too - it makes us cuter (we hope))

Belle's kid is super cute, for a baby.

Maybe if I decide to live, I'll be on tomorrow afternoon. Or this afternoon if I have to show up at my law office job.

Nells, hope Napkin can come home for Christmas.

I told DH the story of the $126 and he was pretty impressed. (Yes, I talk about my internet friends all the time, he's used to it.)

Buffy, three day stomach bug? You poor thing.

Nothing worse than that IMO.

maple, what state do you live in again? We had snow yesterday too, and were hoping for school delay this morning, but no such luck. The oldest DS was most disappointed; the youngest slept till 9 anyway due to the strep. He's much perkier today though.

Nells, you'll appreciate this:

Our basement family room is the only room where I let the kids leave toys out on the floor. Normally I make them pick it all up once a week and I vacuum and mop the tile. This morning I went down to shut off the TV, tripped over a plastic box of cars, and came down with one foot on some sort of GI Joe vehicle and the other on a 5 lb hand weight that was being used as some sort of barricade in a game...the hand weight rolled away, both my ankles twisted and I caught myself on the floor as I landed on my azz just the way you're NOT supposed to and my wrist hurts like heck now.

I don't think anything on me is broken. I could care less if the toys are broken. And guess what the boys will be doing tonight, and every single night now before they go to bed?

Ow. Welcome to the clumsy club. Let's make shirts.

I am sitting here annoyed. Printer won't work. Don't have access to all the other printers here. So I can't print. Far as I'm concerned that means I can't work. Going to sit and play on the internet til they come fix it.

 

[Orchid]

That sounds like a perfectly logical resolution to the printer issue to me.

 

[NellaBean]

Don't you hate when stuff is broken until the IT guy stands here and watches and then it works perfectly.

SIGH.

I don't expect to get the kitty this week LE SIGH, still waiting on the phone call....however, I did go on my lunch break and got a new tub to make into a litterbox, new box of litter, new collar for her plus a bunch more canned food, so she and Norman won't have to share (ha). I feel so hateful.........they sent an email out saying we had leftovers in the kitchen for lunch today. So I didn't get lunch. Then I got back and all there was was bread and ham and really old and hard cheese. Um....yuck? So I had to eat poptarts for lunch. Can my day not suck so much please?

Buffy, I got your sweet and cute card yesterday. DH said, "Are you mailing stuff to yourself again? And why use fancy writing?"
I said, "That's not from me, it's from Buffy!"
He said, "Who's Buffy?"
"One of my imaginary friends."
Him, suspiciously, "She fancy-writes just like you."
"Here, read the inside. Her normal writing is NOT like mine," I said as I handed him the card.
I think he's still suspicious.

Beaner, why can't they give you a voucher and let you spay the cat at your own vet?

Orchy, when you have kids you're supposed to walk with a shuffling gait. That's how I get around the teenager's room

Maple, hope everyone feels better soon!!



A friend from high school posted on FB that they lost their new kitten... and then found it in the fridge.
I responded, "Curiosity chilled the cat!"
No one lol-ed.
If I'd respoded with "Kitten, the other white meat" you can be sure someone would've pitched a fit!!

 

[Buff Hooligans]

Orchy, I'm so sorry you took a Nellaspill!

SOmeone brought in a luncheon today. I ate a small plateful and you know what? Of all that food, when I burp all I taste is deviled egg. Why can't a burp the spice cake with caramel frosting? Is that too much to ask?

I always end up regretting eating at these types of lunches. My stomach is finicky and doesn't like other people's cooking. But I was hungry. Probably channelling Beaner's hunger....

LOL, you made me lol ms Lori....does that count for anything? I can just picture the little kitty sitting in the fridge all annoyed.

Apparently this shelter only has a vet come in once a week to do spay/neuters. And that vet can't come tomorrow or something. So annoying. If I had adopted from the Knox shelter it would have been cheaper and the cat would have been ready to go home in 2 days, no ifs ands or butts.

This cat has a bit of a round belly and has been there a month. Another week might prove...uh........kittenly........she needs to get spayed NOW. What is annoying is that I have a 4 day weekend that I could use to get her integrated into my house and with my animals. Keep in mind 2 of my dogs caught and killed a (wild) rabbit recently. If I have to wait until next week, I am going to have to just leave her home while I'm at work and hope for the best. That sounds nice.
