Good evenin' Hobbit Hole!
What a day I've had!
Just after lunch, something happened with the phone line at our building and ~everything~ crashed. Phones, internet, server, etc.
Long story short, we sat around all day until 5:30 waiting for it to come back up and finally BellSouth broke it to us.....it won't be fixed until the morning. I don't know what exactly happened, but it cost the company money, so heads are gonna roll somewhere!
My Liberty is proving to be girley.
and that's a problem because?...
thanks Bear... dunno how I missed it...
Well, if he's gettin' a F150, if the thing that runs that great big belt through it ever gets so hot it glows and then burns up...Steve can fix it!
G'nad, this health-nut stuff is associated with birkenstock wearing. ;) (but then co-occurance is not causation)
Well, Ruthy! What a day!
Made for an easy, although boring day, I bet. For you?
I'd rather have a truck.
That way when the rear tires spin out because the back end is light I can say, "That's supposed to happen."
LOL!...
healthy eatin' habits don't have tuh be Birky...
li'l miss leadfoot, eh?...
It's miserable on wet roads.
It was a royal pain, sis. My manager walked up to me at 4 o'clock and said "We're gonna need you to stay until the systems come back up because those payrolls for --- MUST RUN! Even if it's 8 o'clock!"
Well, what could I say? I just nodded and sent up a silent prayer that the system would come back quickly or that we'd be informed that it wouldn't be up at all. It was answered, thank God!
So afterwards, she walked up and said "We're gonna need you to come in early tomorrow to run those payrolls, OK?" I responded with "I'm sorry, but I have to take my daughter to school and won't be in until 8:30."
*sly grin* It felt SO good to say that. :-)
The stupidest part of the day was when everyone was sitting at their desks playing solitaire and I decided to play with a regular deck of cards I had in my desk. Before you know it, there were 4 of us playing rummy, getting up every few minutes to check the phone line. It was fun for a bit, but the manager didn't like it.
For some strange reason, management doesn't mind you individually wasting time, but when it becomes a group thing, all of the sudden it's an issue. It's THAT kind of stupidity that drives me nuts.
I want to pick up at least one at the farmer's market this weekend. They have nice, fresh, little bitty ones that would work REALLY well with the breading I used tonight...
And he's handsome, in a dark and brooding way...
On the other hand, I'm rooting for Riza. She's got a major crush going there.
Mmm! Making a big mess of chicken curry. Half tonight, half tomorrow, get more out of my coconut milk!
Dang! Hair, what horsey things did I miss?
You missed the team 3-day event dressage, and the 3-day cross country this morning.... keep reading down thread I posted the schedule of what's still to come.... Look up on your local schedule and record Bravo for the next week!
Yep!
Poor Riza...he really depends on her without noticing at all. I'd still like to have her part in the story...but geesh! He doesn't know a good thing when he sees it!
Just about time to go to bed here. Maybe I'll wake up feeling better.
