TGIF???

Thank Goodness It’s Friday! YAY!

Thank God it’s Friday!

Got it! Yay!! TGIF!!!!!

Oh Karin, I didn’t want to get out of bed either. It was so comfy there with me and my babies (even though they take up most of the bed).

It’s only 10:30 a.m. and I feel like I’ve been here all day!!

Come on 4:45!!!

It’s only 8:43 and this place is so quiet that you could hear a mouse fart, pardon the expression. Very few people come into the office. I will be sneaking out the door at 2pm for an interview for a temp job that has better employment opportunites. They are a large technology firm. I told my husband about it and he says the commute may not be any better and could in fact be worse. I told him that this other company may have employment opportunities versus the current temp job where they are in a hiring freeze.

Go get ‘em, Karin!

–Karin–

Where’s this new opportunity located…..if you don’t mind me asking? Will it be close to your mom so you can see her more often?

*Good Morning Everyone

*Darling little Clementine

Does anybody know TGIF’s cousin?

So
Happy
Its
Thursday?

Susie, we wouldn’t move from Alameda even for the job in Milpitas till I land a permanent job and even then we would wait about three to six months to make sure it works out. Mom and Dad are in Marin.

Huddy’s Momma,
I know that as

Sorry
Honey
It’s
Thursday!!

What about Poets’ Day? (P*** off early, tomorrow’s Saturday!)

The Shadow!

Bless you Judy!!! I can rest now!
The Shadow it was!!

It’s funny you should say that. My friends and coworkers call me the shadow sometimes because they NEVER hear me coming up behind them. I spend a lot of my days unintentionally scaring the h*ll outta people.

“Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows.”

The Shadow was originally a radio show. I had a teacher in high school who had them all on cassette tape. It was great.

I used to listen to it on the radio..with eager anticipation. I guess that REALLY dates me..we didn’t even have a TV yet!

“The Shadow knows”…and so does the Athens Area Humane Society.

And the police in Kansas, Missouri, and 300 miles from Florida.

Eileen,

HOW ‘BOUT THEM DAWGS!!!!!!

Speaking of “dawgs,” would you please head over to the “Greasy V” and get me a couple of “allaway dogs,” some rings, and a big FO and bring ‘em over?

Thanks, you’re a peach!

p.s. GO GLADIATORS!!!!!

Ginny,

Do you mean The Varsity??? I love that place! Not exzctly health food tho.

Tis virtual bacon or mayhap scratch and sniff!

If you’ve ever smelled bacon frying, heard the sizzle, tasted the crispiness, just the mention of bacon will bring the smell to you.

And with Huddy’s Mama, I think she can sniff out bacon anywhere…LOL

Virtual scratch and sniff bacon? Woo-hoo! People will be looking at me funny while I scratch and sniff my computer monitor. Wait, they already look at me funny! Sometimes it’s good to be crazy.

Speaking of crazy at work……

My ‘twin’ and I are rapping hip hop lyrics in English accents.

Earlier we were singing New York New York, complete with chorus line.

HM,

I once dated a guy who, although his band didn’t win their HS talent show, was certainly the most popular with the event most talked about.

They did a punk rock version of “Little Bunny Foo Foo.” Imagine, if you will, a Sex Pistols guitar riff, with Johnny Rotten screaming into the microphone (non-standard British accent and all):

“Bang your head! [guitar]
Stale cheese and bread! [guitar]
Lit’le Bunny Foo Foo! [guitar]
‘Oppin through the forest! [guitar]
Pickin’ up th’ field mice! [guitar]
And bop ‘em onna ‘ead! [guitar]”

I think you get the picture!

They have a taste you can’t compare to regular peaches

I highly recommend that you try them Karin

We had white peach trees along our side yard here in the park. They had to pull them out tho because they produced so abundently,that the mess was unbearable. We sure miss them.

ppearson, I missed coffee and TDK yesterday as the internet was down. Now I think I need a double dose! Did you bring any for me today?

I’ve escaped for a few minutes. White peaches are much sweeter than normal peaches. I’m in PA. We can’t get white peaches at the store, but a local orchard grows them, so we get them from there. We’re making jelly too I guess. At least we’re getting closer to being done. There’s only 3 of us doing it, and a half bushel, or basket of peaches. I think that’s in the 100’s, which doesn’t seem like much, but when your neck hurts it does.

My neighbor had a white peach tree in her side yard. We would pick them and make peach pie or peach jam. Yum-o!

Congrats on the job!!!! The Dragon Rider series is one of my favorites of all time. I have them all in hardcover.

Do you need any extra corricular(sp?) schooling to work in a library?

–BTW–

Congratulations on your new employment

Thanks everyone… I did not need anything extra for the library job since I had just finished my masters in adult education and had a teaching certificate from my BS degree. I never really used much of it till I left and got a job doing training development for a paper mill. At the library I took care of all the AV equipment and 16mm films, filmstrips and cassette tapes. How many of you remember filmstrips?…ding.. advancing to next frame.

–oh,oh–

starting to feel old again. I do remember

Me, too. In grade school, it was always sooooo exciting when we’d come in in the morning and see the film projector set up–meant we were going to see a movie and didn’t have to do studies for a while.

And remember mimeograph machines-OMG what a pain. When I think of all the hours I spent working on those things and turning purple.

I remember….*hobbles on cane*

Don’t pout there is plenty of coffee to go around. I’ll grab rainingswolf’s pot of gevalia and fill your kitty mug. Here have some fresh whipped cream to go on top

Here Pipa’s Mum, I’ll share my pot of Mocha with ya! Want some whipped cream?? I’ll dust it with cocoa too!

Oh thank you guys!!!
*HUG*
You are the greatest!!!

I like to sprinkle cinnamon on my coffee - and it’s supposed to be good for you, too. Of course I’ve forgotten what cinnamon is good for, but as long as it’s good for somethin (even taste) that’ll do.

Aaaaaand, I just whipped up a vanilla-ice-cream-with-iced-expresso-and-whipped-cream-and-a-shot-of-chocolate-syrup delight for Pipa’s Mama. There is also a HUGE pitcher of these delights on the counter, so help yourself! A cinnamon shaker is next to the pitcher for Great Dane, and I have chocolate biscotti on the platter.

Enjoy!

Yay, thanks, Emma!

Thanks Emma. Sounds delicious.

Julie I can commiserate. Ten years ago I worked for 2.5 years as a cashier at the local electronics store while I worked an office job. I would work 8:30-5:00 at the office job and then jam over to the electronics to work from 5:30 to 11pm. I worked the office job Mon-Fri and the cashiering job a couple of nights during the week and always on the weekends. I experienced no days off from October until February each winter. It was hard but I needed the extra money. I couldn’t do that now.

So true! I’ll take a plateful of it all too! It may be almost 3 in the afternoon for me, but I don’t really eat breakfast food in the morning. Wait, no eggs. Hate eggs.
