    Tuesday 9/24 Mindless (Deb W.)

    I think I told you all that my kid got a job as a case manager in a mental health clinic.  Now, all she does is text me all day that saying she is surrounded by crazy people.  Bwhahahaha !!!

    Today is National Cherries Jubilee Day.

    Well, DUH!

    I have hornets nesting behind the fascia along the eave on the back of my house. I attempted to spray insecticide into the space last night, but because of the gutter, the opening is not easily accessible. I think I wore more of the spray than got into the nest. Ugh. Confused

    ETA: Jamison, you are just too cute! Wink

    I am a Customer service rep for a utility.....also surrounded by crazy peeps lol!

    That is one pretty cocktail Deb....not a fan of cherries guess I'll just have to have alcohol without the cherries :)

    Went to get my quarterly vampire sticking, (blood test) this morning and it is about 1 mile away from our old office.  I left in plenty of time but just barely made it.  The traffic was awful, it made me soooo very happy to be working where I do now.  I will try my best not to complain about Farmer Joe and his slow truck any more, lol. 

    ETA: Jamison you are so adorable....wish I could tap in to some of his relaxation methods :)

    Deb, I'll take one of those cocktails.  Champagne is for celebrating and I've got something to celebrate today. Drinks We finally got word about the contracts we've been working on and sweating over since May.  The low ball bidder was thrown out and looks like we'll be awarded most of what we wanted.  This is such a relief.  I was thinking I'd have to get a job as a WalMart greeter.  That probably wouldn't work out well.

    Jamison, lets snuggle.

    Tina, yuck to getting the bug spray all over you.

    Gin, I get impatient sometimes when I'm stuck behind a farmer on the road but like you said much better than regular traffic jams.

    I was thinking I'd have to get a job as a WalMart greeter.

    According to Urban Dictionary:

     

    Walmart Greeter:

    Usually someone of lesser intelligence or of a mentally impaired category. Top choices of wal-mart greeters are usually those with saggy balls, vaginal geriatric bat disease, or work release programs. Typically found at the entrance of walmarts, and sometimes packing a roll of different colored stickers in which they appraoch you as if to molest you and whatever item you are carrying and at the last moment... hand extened... a round sticker of random color is stuck on the item you are holding... assaulting it... and labeling it a return or previously paid for item.... running from the wal-mart greeter is usally followed by people with walkie talkies running after you....
     
     
     
    I think you'd do great, Jackie.

    Well, you had to go and insult me and all the wonderful greeters that work at WalMart. Deb, you're officially banned from the twerking class.  Forever.  Too bad for you because I had a special guest scheduled for next week.  She has made many appearances on the People of Wal Mart hall of fame.  

    I'm also alerting all WalMart greeters in your area.  You're going to be covered up in stickers and begging to keep whatever it is you thought you wanted to return.

    My gluteus maximus will never forgive you, Jackie.  Never.

    Congrats Jackie!
    I'd drink champagne daily if I could, especially with raspberries floating in it! I didn't see the cherries, but I like those too!

    LOL Deb there is no doubt plenty of insane folks surrounding most of us in our place of work

    Mom has arrived!! Bugsy is so happy......................oh yea its pretty hard to tell with him when he is happier than normal LOL He DOES happy to the extreme.

    Gorgeous day here again - the sun could stay out for longer stretches but overall its fabulous.

    The international bluegrass festival is in Raleigh all week - I hope to be able to go hear some live music https://ibma.org/

    That's all - back to the grind
    Hey Jonathan this one's for you, " twerk = where a Yorkshireman goes M-F to make a living"

    • Gold Top Dog

    I'm surprised we're even allowed to use the word "twerking". I guess that's progress ;)

    Jackie - I've said it on FB but I'll say it here too. I'm so happy for you!! I hope you get a raise out of all the work you did.

    I had horrible insomnia last night - blech!! Came in to find a pile of work waiting but had to jump right into a conference call that went on far too long.

    My best friend had an MRI yesterday to check a mass on her kidney. She should hear something today and I'm just praying it's nothing to worry about.

    Hey Jonathan this one's for you, " twerk = where a Yorkshireman goes M-F to make a living"

    ROTF!  I dont care who you are....that was funny!!!

    Karen dont forget to go look at Rescue connect : You gotta see Bubba Wink Dont cha think Bugsy needs a Bubba????

    • Gold Top Dog

    HaHa!  Good one, Karen!  I thought about how happy Bugsy would be to see your Mom.  It must be wonderful to be greeted by all that gigantic happiness. :)  I hope you have a great visit.

    Jonathan,  dog twerking might be a good photo thread.  Pictures of our dogs with their butts in the air in a play bow.  Someone get on that, stat. lol

    Cathy, sending lots of good vibes for your friend.  

    The contracts were a lot of work but I didn't do it alone by any means.

    Lady the cocker spaniel would have been a natural for the dog twerking club.  She wagged her whole butt whenever anything wagged.  When she was due to whelp her first litter we were a bit concerned that she'd wag them out.  Might have made for a rough landing!Surprise

    I gotta say, I still don't get all these lovely "rest stops" along MA roadways that offer "No Sanitary Facilities"  It's about 23 miles between bathrooms, which isn't all that far, but if you don't happen to think to stop, that's a VERY long 23 miles.  I was working North County today, where the clean bathrooms are few and far between to begin with and I. Barely. Made. It. Home.  Phew!

    It's so pretty here today with beautiful skies and even prettier sunshine, but definitely sweater weather.

    Off to see if I can teach the GSD's to twerk......
