Breezy night here. It may storm but not sure.

Muggy this morning. At least it's almost Friday...

it's my Friday. These three day work weeks are killers!

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Two daily threads. Again. This is getting really old. Pay better attention or stop this pissing contest. Whichever this is. I am posting this on both daily threads.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

Nope. Not anymore. It's one thing when it is an accident, another totally when you do it on damn purpose. That second daily is gone.

I developed a high fever in the middle of the night. Must go to the doctor and then pick up supplies. Thermometer included.

I did not see the other thread on Monday when strated that daily. (It was Monday, right?)

I try to be careful not to do that.

Storms are gone for now.

Lots of sunny, blue skies.

Hope everyone has a great day.

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

Hmm, looks like I missed the party again..

This is my second 10 minute break of the day, YAY!

This afternoon will be an ordeal..

I think I will plan on a stiff drink early for tonight. Who's with me?

Hi all, love and miss you all. Muah.

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

Hi Czech! I will join you on that drink!

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

YAY, Lexxy!

What shall we have?

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

Sigh, it's now 1:00 and I can call the next round of social services.

Wish me luck.

I love looking at old pics just for the fashions. They crack me up.

The living room echoes without a couch in it. New one is getting delivered sometime today. One of our friends at Church heard we were looking for a new couch and bought us one from the Church's thrift store. It looks almost white from the pic but she says it's tan. It's also a couch bed, which is convenient. Now to find a cool way to surprise her with something she wants :)

DS is at his grandma's till tomorrow so I can get the living room caulked. He likes to help but sticking his fingers and toes in the wet caulk isn't helpful.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Awww.... He wants to help mom.

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

So I tried to make a change for a client in a system I am unfamiliar with. I locked up the system. I have called customer service twice now & they can't seem to unlock it. I was just trying to be helpful & not leave a pile of work for my coworker when she gets back from vacation. Now I've spent half an afternoon & still accomplished nothing.

Thanks HM! Third time was a charm! I actually got the first girl I'd spoken with again & this time it worked. And she stayed on the phone & walked me through. It is a tricky system compared with others. But change is complete.

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

Looks like a very nice bunch for drinks tonight. Thank you all!

I'm done for today. Killed the battery on the home phone. Put the next call on the cell and a stupid robo call tried to interrupt! I was pissed, sent it to voicemail and they had the nerve to call again!!! Sent to voice mail again! The third time they called I was done with the actual important call and gave the foreign jerk a piece of my mind and then punched the red button. Not quite the same as slamming a phone down, but close. ;)

Scheduled for tomorrow at a little after 1:00 for the BIG and most important phone interview for PAS and CHORE. Pray for me and that the interview is successful. The team for HDD is sweating bullets over this call.

I need that drink already..

Lily, love the picture!

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

Lexxy, glad all was successful!

He does. But caulk waits for no one and that includes a persistent toddler bent on leaving his mark.

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

Thanks Czech..........Good luck with the important call.

Chef don't you live in an apartment? Shouldn't maintenance do that caulking for you?

I agree with Lexxy, the maintenance department should be doing this job. I find it odd that you would have to do it yourself.

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

Thanks, Lexxy. Just another stressful call..

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Czech, you're doing a great job eating that elephant.

They should be and we put in a request last year. But, it's a low priority job and things that actually matter (like fixing the A/C or heat) get done first. The complex also suffered a boiler breakdown and, I think, 3 water main breaks since we've placed the request. Now that summer is back, maintenance has been busy with broken and leaky A/C units. It's probably fallen off the docket by now. We know the maintenance guy well and we know he's not slacking. For a good 4 months, at least, he was also the only maintenance guy. So, in order to finally get it done, we're doing it ourselves. Caulk is cheap so it's not a big deal.

chef · Guru

We do need to get maintenance in here though. There's two spots on the floor that are raised up. We saw them when we moved the couch out. It looks like something under the floor pushed the floor up. Weird. I could probably give each spot a good whack with my hammer to flatten them but I don't want to just in case there's a reason that part of the floor raised up.

There are many things I have done myself when renting because it was easy and I didn't have to deal with people coming into my home.

Of course YOU would catch my autocorrect fail evileye

I missed lunch because I was in the middle of a project. That was personally assigned to me by the president. I think he's starting to warm to me. He's finally decided my loyalty to my last boss wasn't absolute.

To make up for lunch, I'm splurging on Chinese for dinner. Yum!

There was a Pokemon something or other released today and now my 17 and 19 year olds are out with their phones trying to catch them.

My mom just called. I haven't spoken to her in six years. She didn't ask how I was or how anyone was. Just told me my dad was having hemorrhoid surgery tomorrow and I need to pray for him. Then she hung up.

I'm so sorry.

And HEMORRHOID surgery?!

Praying for you Czech, you deserve a huge glass of wine.🍷Njn, what a shock that must have been for you. Maybe she is reaching out to you.
Babysat a 8 month old, a 19 month old and a 6 year old today. A real miracle that both babies took two naps at the same time.
