I'm actually liking my new job - the people are great, and have really pulled together as a team.... my boss called me the other day, and complemented me on my offices' volume... he wanted to know what I put in the water to get them producing..... I told him "a nice, healthy, upbeat environment" to work in , and a boss that goes to bat for them!..... it actually does make me feel good when I see things turning around for the better!...... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853/page/2#post-456998 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:08:07 +0000 GreatDane 456998@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Come on down, MC - but I can't recommend you staying at my place :)</p> <p>I think I'm more upset about Blankie than Bobby is - so much history there :(<br /> He's been sucking other blankies lately, so I guess he'll be okay - we just really had a fondness for that blankie :( </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853/page/2#post-456997 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:06:24 +0000 GreatDane 456997@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi, AV - sorry you're so busy. Are you enjoying the job at all?</p> <p>I'm working all day tomorrow and dog-sitting tonight through Sunday afternoon. It'll be nice to stay at the dog-sitting house and get some rest. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853/page/2#post-456996 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:04:47 +0000 mollycat71 456996@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh NO! NOT BOBBY'S BLANKIE! What will he do? You will need to get him another one when the buggies are gone. Hi AV, (waves wildly to the south!), how are you? I want to visit you guys this weekend, we are to have SNOW! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853/page/2#post-456995 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:02:46 +0000 GreatDane 456995@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Awwww, MC, you're going to do great! Can't blame you for being nervous, though - I would be, too! The one day GG's mom came into the gym, I didn't know what to say at all. Tomorrow I'm covering for the front desk manager and working from9am to 8pm and GG's mom usually comes in on Friday mornings - yikes!</p> <p>The front desk manager told me she has a mattress I can have, but I don't want to bring anything into the house at all now, because the bugs will just come back :(<br /> Another casualty of the stupid bugs was Bobby's Blankie :(<br /> And my nice feather pillow that I had my dad send me for Christmas one year :( </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853/page/2#post-456993 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:01:29 +0000 AV 456993@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Popping in to say high!.... TG tomorrow is Friday!.... unfortunately, I have to sit in a seminar for the better part of the day, but good news is I should quit w**k early!...... looking forward to a weekend at home, with possibly a "do what you want" day!.....</p> <p>... how is everyone tonight? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853/page/2#post-456985 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 16:51:34 +0000 mollycat71 456985@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>GD, way to go with GG too! OMG, I don't know what to do, I am SO NERVOUS. FF is taking me to the "old neighborhood" tomorrow night to hang out with friends from his growing up years. His buddy owns a bar and wants me to meet him as well as some other guys and their significant others. I hope I look feminine enough for him! LOL I hope I don't make a fool of myself! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853/page/2#post-456984 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 16:50:19 +0000 mollycat71 456984@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi all! Hope everyone is feeling well and they aren't hallucinating! GD, good girl! I am glad you threw out your bed! I wish I lived closer I have three extra beds in my basement. Two twin beds and one full sized bed. I have the box springs for all of them and all you would have to do is buy a mattress. I would happily give you one. I am planning on calling the Salvation Army here soon to come get them. I am doing a cleaning up of my house and I just don't have room for three more beds. OOH that makes me mad I can't email you a bed! LOL </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853/page/2#post-456965 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 15:55:16 +0000 GreatDane 456965@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi all!!! *waves*</p> <p>I had a tennis match today and won easily. This one was a make-up from last week when we had to reschedule. I played my regular match yesterday and won that one as well, so the season is off to a good start.</p> <p>Yesterday I had to concede that the darn bed bugs have won and throw away my bed. Of course the idiots who live in the main house ran right out and claimed my box spring and brought it back in the house. I guess it doesn't matter if I get rid of my bed and stuff if they don't do anything to get rid of the bugs in the main house - eventually they'll just come back to my place!<br /> My poor boys were upset the bed had to go and a bit uneasy. This afternoon, I moved their kitty castle to a new spot which they seemed to like, so that's a plus.<br /> I've got pet-sitting the next 3 nights so I'll sleep over there and last night, I invited myself to GG's. GG told his brother about the bed bugs and he decided to look them up online. He found a National Geographic movie that had me all grossed out.<br /> I really have to move, but I'm still waiting for my bonus check from the new, old job and I'm not working much right now, so it's hard to find something. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853/page/2#post-456963 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 15:40:17 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 456963@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Glad you made it home safely WWM! The last time I was at the eye doc and got dialated, I pulled right out in front of a car that I never saw! Heading to Kohl's to check out the sales. Have a good night everyone! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853/page/2#post-456962 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 15:32:02 +0000 2 Popoki 456962@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I haven't had my eyes dilated in years! And I have an annual exam... I didn't know they still did that. Hmmmm....</p> <p>I had a doc tell me once that dark eyes take longer to dilate. Don't know about the sensitivity of light eyes. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853/page/2#post-456960 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 15:29:55 +0000 SylMiaFelixMomma 456960@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh no, WWM! Glad you made it home. I hate it when they dilate my eyes since they always put too much drops in them. They say it usually goes away in 3-4 hours but with me it can be 7-9 hours if they put too many drops in. Somehow light colored eyes are much more sensitive to the drops or maybe it is just me. I have to remind my optometrist when he does my yearly exam. It can ruin a whole day for me as I have to hide in my apt with the blinds closed till it wears off. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853/page/2#post-456951 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 15:16:26 +0000 WillowandWindismom 456951@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>ACK!!!! It's a wonder that I got home! The dr dilated my eyes and it's bright and sunny out so of course I drove home barely able to see a thing. What fun! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853/page/2#post-456932 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 14:04:01 +0000 SylMiaFelixMomma 456932@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>What kind of imflammatories cause hallucinations! Holy cow is right!! Be careful PM! I don't think I would want to take the meds. Ibruprofen aka Advil or Aleve is enough for me and I don't like to take them too often as they make me feel light headed. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853/page/2#post-456924 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 13:38:42 +0000 Kilroy 456924@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Holy cow, PM. I think I'd rather hurt. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853/page/2#post-456917 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 13:28:06 +0000 Pollys_Mum_in_UK_2605 456917@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Good evening. How are you all? I went to the doctor's yesterday (finally) about my sore wrist. He gave me some anti-inflammatories and when I read the leaflet they come with I nearly flipped. Some of the side-effects are amazing! The "minor" ones can cause mental problems including visual and auditory hallucinating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, it adds, you don't need to go back to the doctor unless it is causing major problems. So I have warned my work colleagues that if they see me sitting in a corner talking to an imaginary rabbit called Harvey and he's answering me that it's no big deal. They looked at me and replied, but you do that anyway. LOL </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853/page/2#post-456909 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 12:54:59 +0000 2 Popoki 456909@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Slow day in the cafe today. Matches my slow day at work.... ZZZZzzzzz </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853/page/2#post-456890 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 11:18:02 +0000 SylMiaFelixMomma 456890@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Good for you WWM and congrats on the bike ride! The visual of Windi with the paw up tapping the aquarium is cute. Cat TV is right. That is what I said when the doves were nesting outside of my bedroom window. They have all been gone about three months now and I have left the nest alone. Another neighbor volunteered to knock it down but I am okay with it. I am concerned with mites though as I think I have seen some sort of very tiny little beetle in my apartment and Mia seems extra itchy lately. Didn't find any fleas or flea dust so am pretty sure it isn't that. I may get that diacemtomous (sp?) earth stuff to sprinkle on my carpet and maybe even on Mia. Poor cats. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853/page/2#post-456878 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:48:21 +0000 2 Popoki 456878@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>SMM - it's wearing me out ! I even suggested options for things to do tomorrow... basically just go dancing at a different venue. Didn't even suggest not dancing... LOL I knew that wouldn't fly... Maybe my expectations are too high... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853/page/2#post-456877 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:48:18 +0000 WillowandWindismom 456877@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi, Everyone!!!! I'm so late getting started today. Mr. WWM and I went for our bike ride and did 35 miles and had the pleasure of doing half of it into a really strong wind. I'm really beginning to hate that wind.</p> <p>When we got home we found Windi out on the screened in patio parked in front of the aquarium that is housing our baby turtles. Every once in a while we'd see her little paw come up and tap at the glass. This must have been the first time that she noticed them, as yesterday it was so cool here they stayed buried. Kitty television!</p> <p>I have to go and get my eyes checked this afternoon. I think that Mr. WWM is tired of me squinting at him.</p> <p>Hope everyone is having a great day! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853#post-456872 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:38:08 +0000 SylMiaFelixMomma 456872@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>2Popoki, I could never get ex to plan something even when we tried taking turns planning something. I always ended up planning something for his turn because he just couldn't make up his mind or so he said. It really was that he was too lazy and expected me to take care of everything like his mother did for him. So glad he is gone from my life. What a waste of time and effort! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853#post-456871 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:30:51 +0000 Kilroy 456871@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yeouch, CM, sorry to hear about the needle *shudder*. Also about the mess, but at least you can control that (sort of). Phooey on Wayne for leaving you a mess to clean up. Hope you can grab a nap. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853#post-456870 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:27:29 +0000 SylMiaFelixMomma 456870@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Siobhan, can you send that training over to my company. I know a few people who need some retraining on working with each other. Also we need some ediquette training - how to now annoy your cubicle neighbor with your eating habits and bodily noises. Glad to hear your back is feeling better, Siobhan.</p> <p>CM, the joys of parenting. Now if Wayne wouldn't make such a mess. Sorry you had to have two teeth worked on. I hate the dentist as I have an extremely sensitive mouth. They have to give me some sort of numbing before they can give me the shot of novacaine.</p> <p>Gini, hope you can shake this strange sense you are feeling. Taco and Feeny give your Momma some purrs and headbonks to make her feel better.</p> <p>I was suppose to go to an interview after work yesterday but I cancelled it because after researching the company, it looked as though the company was way too small for me (only 130 employees total for the whole company with HQ in New York and the SF office not even listed). I know I should have at least gone. My mistake and of course it is off the list of opportunities. Shouldn't let the opportunites go away in this bad economy. It was an investment company and I have mixed feelings about them. Oh well. Next one comes along I will at least go to the interview. </p> <p>Kykat, you BLT has me salivating. I love a good BLT sandwich where they pile on the bacon. When I order a BLT, I ask for the bacon to be extra crispy as I like my really cooked. Unfortunately the deli near my office doesn't make any that have me salivating. Darn! </p> <p>Well, I didn't win the $122 million and now it is at $145 million. Step-mom didn't buy a lotto ticket either on Tuesday. I don't understand why she will buy tickets for raffles and other things but not a lotto ticket. She always wins at the raffles. All I want is my bills to be paid off and a little extra in the bank. Pipe dreams. </p> <p>Really tired this morning and am looking forward to the day I can move closer to work and not have to fight the horrible traffic (which seems to be getting worse). </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853#post-456867 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:18:34 +0000 2 Popoki 456867@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I remember those days, CM... it was really difficult as I also had a full-time job. (like many many others)</p> <p>At work thinking of all the things I need to get done at home... the shopping, the cleaning... all kinds of things and wondering why I have spread myself so thin. Thursdays at loooong days. Work, training and hula. Had to finally nix country dancing after hula. Just too much.</p> <p>Can someone tell my why it is that men just don't seem to be able to plan things?? At least it my world. We do the same thing every weekend. It's getting a bit too routine for me. Last night I suggested we do something different on Friday night. He's 'thinking about it'... *sigh* </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853#post-456866 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:12:02 +0000 cricketsmama 456866@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi everyone. Hugs to all that need it.<br /> Been there Kilroy..I hate when they waste your time like that. Aggravates me to no end.<br /> Went to the dentist this morning...thought I was only getting one tooth fixed..oh no..it was 2 in the front..so I had 2 shots in my upper lip..yeah..that's fun. Came home..Wayne made a mess trying to fix breakfast for Maddie and Abbie and just left the mess, so I have been trying to catch up since I came home...At least the girls are napping now and I finally have the kitchen straightened up. I think I am going to catch a small nap while I can..these nights with Abbie are kicking my rear! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853#post-456842 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 08:58:24 +0000 Siobhan 456842@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Boy I can sympathize, Kilroy. They have us going to three four-hour sessions on a Healthy Workplace Environment...learning how to get along with your maddening coworkers.</p> <p>Probably a couple of faculty got testy with each other, so now we ALL have to go to this training. Just reprimand the naughty faculty and let me do my job, dammit. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853#post-456841 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 08:55:43 +0000 FondaHonda 456841@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>My condolences, Kilroy---don't you hate it when you feel your time is wasted? We had 'an important meeting' after school yesterday so that some big-wig from the ad. bldg. could tell us (actually, read to us) something that they had emailed us earlier in the day. I feel your pain. . . </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853#post-456839 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 08:45:07 +0000 Kilroy 456839@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Can I just whine for a minute? I have to come to work 2 hours early one day next week, to attend a 100% pointless HR seminar on "Playing to Win". Ugh. Please, just shoot me. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21853#post-456827 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 08:27:45 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 456827@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Morning all. Gini, I just hate when you get that vague feeling of dread and don't know the cause. Do your best to shake it off and go on. I am taking an early lunch with friends today and I think that a big ole BLT is calling my name. The place where we are lunching does awesome BLT's with loads of bacon. I hope they have a good soup today too.</p> <p>Hope everyone has a good day! </p>
