Grumpy Hump Day chat

My computer at work has been attacked by a virus.  The geek thinks it might be fatal, which really blows because although I have most of my files backed up on a network drive, the files I use everyday are on my desktop and probably gone.

It is also pouring rain and thundering here.

The FAT MAN (our esteemed Governor) has undergone lap band surgery.

That's about it for me.

Hands Karen & Deb strong drinks.

My big news is that I get my hair cut today by a new stylist. I may need a strong drink later.

 I do apologize for the whining post, thanks for the drink

Deb I hope they can save your files

Tina I hope your haircut comes out to your satisfaction

Oh yeah, I forgot ----- Mr. W is now clipping coupons.  He has been retired for a whopping 8 days. Can my life be anymore complete ?

Not until he starts going to dinner at 4:00p for the early bird specials.

Karen, I hear you. Sometimes this world makes me feel hopeless.

Bummer about your computer Deb. I hope the geek can recover your files. Reminds me I should do a back-up today.

lol about the fat man and the coupon-clipper.

Good luck with your hair cut, Tina!

The kids are in school/daycare, so it's work/checklist day today! Off I go...

I have so much crap to do today, but tomorrow I should be able to sit at home most of the days.

Is it really a big deal that Gov. Christie got a lap band? Honestly, who gives a crap? The gut decided to stop being obese. Good for him. I do love that Judy Franco told him to do it though.

Just popping in to say hi!  

We have sunshine yesterday and today and we have officially climbed out of the drought into normal rainfall as of today :)

Karen sorry about all the rain...I really didnt send it but they said on the weather that you are getting what we got last weekend.  I did see that Bugs is doing better so happy to hear that.

Callie I hope you are feeling better today. 

Jackie I got such a laugh out of your "Project" comment, ha,  that is exactly how I feel when Ron says "We need to......"  I know that means bandaids for sure and the last time it was aloe for a burn...lol...I can feel your pain :)  I usually end up finishing all of the "we" projects.

Today I will get my once a year hair trim, it's time to donate to Locks of love again but I will do that in the fall.  Just a trim today.  I am happy that I have managed to keep the same stylist since 2009, Tina I feel for ya and I will donate to the "cocktail" fund.

Ok well I have forgotten everything else,lol.

Have a good day all!

Oh now I remember....loved the piece on Good Morning America about the Comfort companions.  Made me think of Shane such beautiful dogs.

I'm really frustrated with stupid people. I get a lot of requests for transcripts from former students who are applying for jobs. They can't even fill out the transcript request form right. How are they going to get a job??? I had a guy call me to say "did you try to fax me my transcript cuz it didn't come through?" I looked on his form and he hadn't even given me a fax #. He sounded totally stoned too :/. I could go on and on but it'll just make my headache worse.

Hoping Callie is feeling better today.

Karen, I can sympathize with what you said about legislation underway that makes things worse for many people or will exacerbate or contribute to more problems.  We see that happening here, too.  Add to that things happening all over the country, like the weather crises, poverty, hunger, crime, terrorist plots, and politics (e.g., former SC Governor Sanford wins an election -- really???) -- it can make you feel like throwing in the towel.  One of my friends always says she avoids the TV or internet news to keep her sanity.  I see her point, but then I'd feel uninformed, so it's a Catch-22.

But, it is encouraging when there are bright spots, like the person returning your phone, Lisa.  That's nice to hear.

Mr. W and I could be clipping partners!  I like to use coupons, but it's like pulling teeth to get DH to use them.  Maybe he'll be more open-minded about coupons when he retires (if that ever happens!).

Good luck with the new stylist, Tina.  I went to see mine yesterday.  Only my 3rd visit with her.  I like her personally, and the salon is nice, but for the higher price I'm paying, I'm not wild about the cut.  Finding a stylist you really like, who does a great job, for a price you're happy to pay is a near impossible task.

On a very random note:  did anyone see the photo circulating online of Jon Stewart walking his three-legged pitbull?  I loved Jon Stewart already, but that made me love him more.  :-)

THE GEEK FIXED ME !!!!!
