I like most ranch but not on everything. I prefer BBQ sauce a lot of the time.

Off to eat a bbq meatloaf!

Ranch, with a little sriracha. biggrin

What concoctions have you made?

DH took me to Old Spaghetti Factory for Mother's Day back in May. We got an appetizer that came with the restaurant's version of ranch. DS mixed marinara with applesauce then added the ranch and poured it on his spaghetti. He ate it too.

He may grow up to be a great chef and invent new recipes.

Eewww - we are going to have to disagree. I hate honey mustard. Except once my ex brought me a turkey sandwich from some gourmet place that catered a work thing for them. It was actual honey with dry brown mustard sprinkled on it. That was actually really good. But the usual stuff is just nasty.

I've never been there. Is it good? I guess so if you're stuffed!

I really want to just get in my pajama's and go to bed. However that is not possible. But when the chips are down DH rises to the occasion. He has made me an ice bottle to put on my foot and has started laundry and dinner.

So as you know we watch SS's mom's grand daughter. When she came to pick up her daughter today we asked her about the birthday party this weekend at her grandma's house. She told us there wasn't one.

LOL! Grandma must have forgotten to order her and the baby to her house for the party that isn't scheduled. Bwahahaha

Your poor SS. I do feel bad for him though, especially after the message grandma left him. What a biotch.

Apparently, I am the only Geek who worked today. 4 Pages of the daily????

Anyway, I have 1000 pieces of candy, it will be busy here Saturday. I hope to have some left over.

I had two nice things happen at work. First, my Bro called me, he was in my building so we met up. His program is moving to my location in my building, two floors above me!

Second nice thing was I had a meeting with the nasty PM today. When it was my turn, she actually was professional and asked her questions in not a b*tchy manner, and I had the answers as well as an analysis that she liked!!

Day is done, have a drink. I don't have to go into work tomorrow but will spend a few hours cleaning up administrative stuff. Then off to meet a friend for lunch.

Well you know what they say... When you lie you have to keep telling a lie to cover up a lie. Tell the truth and you don't have to worry about keeping your story straight!

I caught the dreaded cold that my boys passed back and forth. Ugh. It hit me so fast I didn't see it coming.

Glad you got to meet up with your brother! Sounds like you will be able to do that more often soon. smile

Sounds like you handled the nasty PM well. Good for you!

Now, enjoy tomorrow. smile

Ah ha! We finally figured out who the bug spreaders are! Your boys!

I will gladly give my bug back. wink

Mom wants me to visit her tomorrow. I hope I don't give her my bug.

I hope you don't get to sick, FNW.

Work.

There is an longer explanation on my blog.

Basically, one of the gals in the Children's Room is transferring to another department. The plan is to advertise a PT position to replace her.

Because my boss is...young...I have to advocate for myself. I emailed the Director, cc'ed to my boss, and made a case to make me full time.

Tonight I found out that the PT position has been advertised.

WHY did I not get a response to my email?!!!

I'm so sorry flan, at least they could have let you know their intentions before they advertise the position. (Better still if they just hired you ft)

Thanks. When I started 3 years ago, there was NO juvenile outreach. Now I visit 5 different centers a month.

The managers pay lip service to the importance of communication...

Health insurance would be my guess. I get sick time & vacation already.

Last year they made my P/A coworker full time because "they didn't want to lose her."

Guess what???
