Gone4Now

Oh, I agree that they (our upper-ups at the oil tool company) aren't trying to drive it to the ground...but they definitely buffer the fall for themselves, while cutting out folks that do work hard. It may not have been that way with your dad, or the examples you mentioned, but we'd be #1 in our field, not #3, if the actually President of our company had oil tool experience. It's a joke in our warehouse that he couldn't pick out a liner hanger from a ball bearing. And, it's true...he's said in town hall mtgs that he has no idea how we run the plant. Our new head of world wide logistics (my new boss) knows how to ship, but nothing about our company. In the meetings to discuss our divisional happenings, someone asked about two plants unmentioned in the merge and he said, "Well, they're not a concern b/c they don't ship internationally." Um, yeah, they DO actually.... So, some may know how to do it right, but sometimes it comes down to playing golf with the right people. ...okay...lol - off my soap box now. I'm stuffed with homemade Indian food and naan... yummy! Came home from friend's house and DH had put up the new light I bought for the dining room! I am so happy because I really didn't want to do it, but it was my project so I was prepared to suck it up. Love that man!!! Tomorrow - nothing!!! I'm so excited to do nothing, you have no idea!!!

That reminds me DD wanted to make her signature. She saw me scribble stuff on papers and wanted her own. I swear, every piece of paper we owned had her name written all over it. She wanted to get it right. I came up with my scribble when I had to sign for stuff all day...I used to try and make it nice like DD, but after a gazillion times, it got to the point where the delivery person would say, "Um, how do you say that?" lol Hecks yeah! I'd take the course for 2 becuase I can't do that! I have no negotiation skills whatsoever. Oh, and sign me up for 3 & 4. NERD!!! HA! DH and I are wondering about the company we work for now. They make all the decisions and choices and "us peons" wonder WTF? I have moving boxes that we never used... Just sayin - I'll be there in a heartbeat to move her sorry butt to the North Pole!

That really pisses me off...I'm so sorry you're going through that!!! Sad faces? Really? What are they learning in Kindergarten...Russian Politics or something??? I mean, crap... A sad face? That's disgusting to me. Poor kid - there are other ways to get kids to calm down and get them to pay attention. I got kicked out of Kindgergarten. I hated naps and was like, "Hey - the other kids are asleep now I can play with whatever." Not so...the teachers didn't like that so much...so they sent me home one day w/a note to my mom and I remember I never went back. I showed that to DD - she thought assigned seats in her cafe were bad! ha! It's kinda weird what they're doing in schools these days...it's like a step BACK in time, when we really need a huge leap forward!!!

That's the stuff that wears me arse out most!

Man...I'm hungry and sleepy....which will win?

...rethinking betrothal... I did that as a kid...threw rocks at windows with my friends. (Before Atari came out) and we ended up breaking a huge window in the apt complex where we lived. $$$$ for our parents! So, in a sense, you're asking Lu - how much to pimp her bitches? :sneaky: Yeah. I'm a "why girl" so if she can 'splain and convince me, so be it. I'm not big on rules around the house...do homework, clean room, etc... Our biggest issue is her cleaning up after herself in the common areas. Her room is neat down to the spot and position of her iPod...but the living room? eh...who cares! Socks on the floor...half filled glasses of milk laying around...ugg...disaster.

I'm okay w/DD arguing with a platform, examples and solutions. But, no whining, no "cuz I wanna"...she's good with that. Couldn't work it out, so she's home. She's happy...for now. Poor baby, DD! :sneaky: and you, too! Slim's right...take care of you, too!

Ha! That's your question of the night...if you ask a third time do you get a prize? :sneaky:

Yikes, Beth...I gotta agree w/SNT...after all the crappolla this week, maybe we should be nice for a while? :sad: It's Friday and I'm fighting w/DD over a friend staying or her staying at a friend's. We have errands to run tomorrow and will be out all day...so, NO. and...NO. and NO. I'm okay with her coming up with a solution and presenting it, as long as it works - but nothing is working and I'm tired, and just feel like ending the "discussion". But, now she's trying to work something out with my mom. I like it that she's crafty and I like it even more when she bugs my mom. :sneaky:

Lu - yeah, we have them here. But worse was San Antonio - one dropped from the ceiling at the tower, as we were leaving. Ick. I'm not grossed out by bugs, but I am when the drop from above! :sad: and, DH still doesn't like Salvation Army because they wouldn't take his Christmas tree stand. I used to work there, so I'm partial to them, but they had some funky rules, too. :sneaky:

:sneaky: :sad: :wink2: Too funny!!!

...crickets... We're slammed at work today! I'm glad - hate being bored. I think being bored gets me into trouble.... :smile2:

Trust me DD and DH laughed plenty last weekend when a bird crapped on me in San Antonio. I just had to buy a new shirt there...darn.

Sounds great! I'd like to chill. We're mostly relaxing. Sat running errands, and Sun is Indian Cuisine night at my friends. They can cook so good and DD has been bugging them for Indian food. I really can't get those spices right.

pjtp - good morning everyone! Any plans for long weekend?

No birds!!! :smile2: Although, sans crapping, it would be purdy...

That's great thinking!!! I like a good head on my future son-in-law's shoulders! Backing away...It's calling me...backing AWAY.... whew..that was close! Hate the bite size by themselves, but love them wrapped in croissant dough and baked. Good thing THAT's not in the vending machine. Ooh...I like it. It would be like R&R on crack!!! From what I hear PMs are the way to go...shrug. Watch this: boobage! Ah!! What a sweetie! A girl after my own heart - not the math, the why. I'm a why-girl. lol How's she feeling now? (oops, guess I'm a how-girl, too?) Calculators are awesome. When in doubt, start/run/calc/enter

Ahh! I'd like that! Until they crapped on me. (Okay, even that would be a little funny - years and years and YEARS later.)

Did ya'll hear something? I thought it was dove season? :smile2:

Really...? What was your first clue? :smile2:

Hello...Brandy? ...is this thing on?

...subscribing...

Ya'll fight all you want...I'm taking it!!

....unsubscribing...

No kidding...I'm here 9 hours a day and the vending machine is VISIBLE to me. I sit in my cubby and I can see the neon glow and sometimes I hear the Twix saying, "you know you want me...come get me baby." But then it gets weird and creepy...I won't share that part.
