Banning
I’m not accepting new registrations unless I know you personally, and considering it’s been like forever since I’ve posted here, chances are extremely slim that anyone is actually still visiting here to actually read stuff.
So, anyone who snoops and finds the registration link and signs up, will be banned without hesitation. I’ve removed as many of the links to that page as I can find.
Unmotivated
I just can’t get into work today. I’m AT work, but my mind isn’t *IN* it. I’ve been working 5 days a week for well over a year and I still haven’t gotten used to a two-day weekend. I was definitely spoiled with the three day weekends I had at my previous job.
Oh well. Only 6.5 hrs left of my day. :long:
So, to catch up
I guess not a whole lot has changed, really. Still married, living at the same house, working at the same company although I’m in a different department. Kiddo is growing up a bit too fast, but well, that’s what they do.
Oh, well, gas prices damn near doubled since I may have last complained about it. I think yesterday we saw $4.03. :sick:
Bleh. Well, time to go get dressed and take the kiddo to the doctor. Seems she may have twisted her foot or ankle, so need to go get that checked out. :down:
at home today
Neither of us are feeling too well today. Our lower intestines are, um, not happy, so powder room visits are looking to be a frequent thing today. We opted to stay home from work.
Is this thing on?
*sniff sniff*
I don’t smell any burning files… so it seems the upgrade I just did here went OK…
Now on to moving directories…
Winter, come and gone
Well, we’re under a freeze warning this week.
But the forecast?

roller skates on the highway
I saw one of these on the way home last night:
I felt like I could squish it under the tire of the Tahoe I was driving.
Hey, don’t criticize me… It was a $10 a day rental. I’m not going to pass up the opportunity to drive a brand-spanking new ‘07 Tahoe with only NINE miles on its engine!! It had about 190 miles on it when I was done with it. :cheese: And cost as much to fill it as it does our VUE… Of course, it was only about 10.5 gallons I had to put in…. there was still about 15 gallons left in the tank. But you know, avoiding paying $4.00 a gallon for not filling it before returning it was the goal.
It’s a nice ride, but at about 18mpg, unless we worked closer to home, we’d be killing ourselves just trying to keep the tank filled in the thing. And here I thought the 23mpg VUE was bad, eesh.
The reason for the rental is another story. Trouble with the VUE again.
the plague has arrived
Ok, not really The Plague, but it may as well be.
I’m talking about mosquitos. They’ve been plaguing the building at work. Yuck.
I’ve killed several over the last couple of weeks, and building management claims they’re getting some exterminators out to take care of it.
In the meantime, we were asked to do a few things to help eliminate them. You know, the usual, don’t leave standing water around, don’t hold the exterior doors open, the usual stuff.
But then they added this:
Remove any live plants from your work area.
Um. Wha?
Sorry, but I’ve never known live plants to be the culprit when it comes to attracting mosquitos.
Ahem. People attract mosquitos, dummies! They could give a shit about plants!! Except male mosquitos, but those don’t bite!! These things dive-bombing our heads? Those are females, and they only drink blood. Humans = food to them. NOT plants!
So by that logic, we should be removing ourselves from the office. No food source? No mosquitos!
Hmm. I don’t think that will go over well, though.
cold and hot
The Cold is going through our house… First Josh had it, then I caught it, along with our daughter.
What sucks though is that yesterday, we had to turn on the air conditioning.
Yes, you read that right. It was nearly 78 in the house yesterday, and the high yesterday was something like 83? With everyone being sick, the warm house was just extremely uncomfortable, so we switched the air on. What the hell happened to winter?? How sick is it that we needed to turn on the a/c in February?! I mean, shit, I have about a dozen warm toasty sleepers for my daughter that she won’t be able to wear because it just isn’t cold enough. 😕 Supposedly January was the warmest on record for us, and it seems to me that February is well on its way to doing the same. Bleh.
wtf?
Every time I turn around my damn blog has something that’s gone wonky with it… I am pretty sure comments were working before, but apparently they aren’t now.
Working to fix that while the little one sleeps…
..in the meantime, I think if you’re logged in you can comment, I tested that myself and was able to comment that way (deleted it though).
Not sure what is wrong, all the code is there but for some reason it isn’t being read. 😕
update: Comments should be fixed now… if you’re not logged in, you should be able to comment.
