Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Haryadoo'nn?
Wouldn't it look stupid if we all wrote the way we talk?
Evenin' XGI. I'm doing just fine.
I dunno if it looks stupid, but I still understood it! :-P
Yah... I made a huge effort to actually not move any frap, except the most crucial frap. The rest got dumped. The new digs are all nice and spiffy. :-)
Now, if I can just get a little discipline about throwing stuff out and not just stacking it up. Most of it is just junk.
I'm actually really good about keeping things organized at work. It's my desk here at home that's slowly being buried under paper.
They gave me my review yesterday and I got a wee bit of an increase. The best part was that I actually got a 4.51 out of 5.00 - which is stellar in this company.
Methinks they suspect I'm unhappy.
Hey... way to go. :-)
Thanks. I still miss my old job and I guess I always will, but as long as I have a household to support, I'll suck it up and make the best of this one.
Yeah... I really miss my next job... I'm not sure what keeps happening to it... :-)
*grin*
Same here.
American Idol is over, so I'm gonna crash early.
Nighty night!
Night night then... :-)
Evening OT - Miss Kitty's sunroom construction commenced, whoohoo.
Glad you got a grill, we're not all that picky.
Now for a varmint? hmm. well, we'll see what we can find on the way over, there usually is something 'available' near the Triangle, we'll keep our eyes peeled.
Evening Rosie - off traveling again, my word, you've become quite the adventurous young hobbit lass these past several months.
Have a great time at the mini-moot tomorrow.
So anyway, I've just been out to dinner with some of my friends and been confronted yet again with something I don't like, which is that now and then when we go out one of them will insist on picking up the check. It makes me feel so bad because I never know ahead of time they're planning to do that, so like tonight I ordered a drink with dinner. And then I can never return the favor because I'm just not in that position financially, and they know it. Which is probably why they do it in the first place.
And on the other hand they can afford to - the ones who make a habit of this still recieve significant support from their folks - and they're the ones who pick the restaurant, so... am I just worked up over nothing? Am I lacking in knowledge of some piece of adult etiquette here?
Roast Beast is Out Of Season!
For a funeral, things went well. I blogged a bit about it.
Josh says "thank you" to all for the knife. He said it came in quite handy. In God's providential timing he got home from Iraq two weeks ago. He saw my uncle (his grandfather) on Friday before he passed on Sunday.
I gave my other cousin's oldest a ride back to Richmond where his mom lives. Gary Lee has Down's Syndrome. He wasn't "supposed" to make it past his 2nd birthday. He'll be 40 in June. Much of the conversation on the way was repetitive. At the same time it was delightful.
I realized yesterday on the drive there that you folks have been with me through five family funerals. Thank you.
Corin wouldn't have gotten very far without his FRiends.
My cousin's wife is a flight attendant for USAir. She flies to Europe now.
She was able to be in Rome for the funeral. She said the spirit was incredible.
It just wouldn't be respectable to spam...
I'd have to funkle to do it...
It's not like it's a triple precious...
yet still...
