Yeah, we'll have to settle for being glum.


I think I'll take my ball and go play somewhere else, Diva.

Play on the dark side... Or the feather side

I turned my dog into a master mooch pooch... happens when you feed table scraps from the table (so to speak - or computer desk in this case). I never considered it a real issue or problem until the past 6 months or so... She LOVES chicken poop (and any OTHER nasty she can find)! She follows me into the coops and finds it any and every where. Her breath is HORRENDOUS!

I can smell her coming... She contaminates the air from 10' away! I have GOT to find some way of stopping her habit!

Sucks getting fired Felix...even if it is employee negotiated.

The reason I'm now retired is my employer decided to "counsel" me for "bad decision making" and sent me home, with pay, for the rest of the week the Tuesday before Labor Day, to return to work (with proper attitude adjusted I guess) on Tuesday after the holiday. their mistake. So, being the dutiful employee, I returned on said Tuesday, long enough to turn in my work tools, keys, and say bye to co-workers. Don't regret the decision for a moment. That company management is inept! I don't expect them to be in place come the new year. Not that I care any more.

I guess I'm kinda like Bama... wonder if Serta or Sleep Number is hiring testers? My previous job was lead QA inspector... I might could handle that job

Imagining SCG even considering having a baby..... Nah... just can't do it... nope... no way...

Latestarter - maybe you can correct your dog's choice of edibles by dumping chilli sauce or hot peppers on said chicken debris. When I had Cockers, 2 were confirmed poo addicts. I didn't realize it at first till I went to brush one;s teeth and was horrified to find they were all brown. For a split second I thought his teeth rotted away - then the aroma spoke the truth. NO MORE kisses from that dog.

For the other I had- her in an exercise pen at a dog show. Some lady said, "oh oh, you better clean up that ---, your dog is going to eat it." Before I could grab a scooper she added "Too late."

Thankfully it was only those two examples out of many. I used to clean up every time I noticed anything But, sometimes you aren't there to intervene.

Walking dogs on a lead you can intervene but, I had swinging in/out doors and couldn't beat them outside to the prize.

SCG, sounds like you accomplished a lot. And if you're just in there for a fixed time period, is gives you the freedom to not care about what people think of you, and instead be as efficient as possible. Ruffling some feathers in the process is to be expected.

Diva, I think Chris was drawn back by my magnetic personality

Late, what kinda QA did you do? That can be super interesting, as long as the product is something you can actually show interest in. I like doing QA, I'm good at pointing out flaws and solving problems.

Heya Wisher! Thanks =) What's up?

2 were confirmed poo addicts.

We watched a friends dog once (note the emphasis on once). I didn't know the dog was a poo addict and was raiding the cat's litter box upstairs until the projectile vomiting and diarrhea started. That was not a fun weekend.

Felix, I really don't care what people think of me, regardless of what I'm doing - work or otherwise. That makes it easy, I guess. Doesn't mean it isn't hurtful when people are mean about it, just means I'm going to do what I think is best.

Got a winter "mug rug" stitched. This is the "flying geese" pattern, which is notorious for being difficult to get the points all perfect. I think I did a pretty good job at it. I haven't posted a sewing project in a while, so indulge me. The entire thing is only about 4 by 9 inches.



The last two nights I've had dreams that the chickens were in trouble and I had to rescue them. Sunday night it was tornadoes and I brought Miss Piggy into the house and got under the bed with her and BF. The coop was destroyed, but a few outdoor birds did survive. Last night I don't recall the exact premise but I was able to save 4 chickens: FatOne, Tonya Harding, Miss Piggy and I can't recall the 4th one now. I wonder if the chickens need to tell me something or have gotten themselves in trouble? Maybe in with the wrong crowd?

I finally had a great position at a job I had hated for years and after 30 years they just decided to close and kick 2500 of us to the curb.
I wasn't ready to retire since I had 2 kids just starting college.
Best laid plans go awry.

A good reason not to let dogs kiss you.

Welcome "Home", Vehve!

You took the words out of my mouth.

Hi Vehve.
