And, I had originally planned (when we were driving separate) to spend part of the afternoon shopping for something for my wife for Christmas. Now, however, I won't have time to peruse the mall for something - so, it looks like I'm going to have to fall back on gift cards, which I hate doing.So, because of the light snow we had last night, and the road problems it caused on the way home, my wife wanted to ride with me today to work. Normally, we ride separately on Friday, I get in for 0600 and can leave early to go run errands.
So, I said yes and waited for her. We got in at 0700 - just an hour later and not too much of an impact, since she actually needed 1/2 hour less time than I did to make 80 hrs. We could leave when I was done - 1300.
She calls me up about 1240 and says - oh we have to stay because I've got this thing that needs getting done and the other guy is out of the office (as usual) so I have to stay and do it.
So, now I have to sit here and wait for her. All the while, the sun has come out today and melted what little snow was left on the ground, making the roads no more dangerous than usual.
Well you could always go peruse the mall until she is done with work.
Sadly, the closest mall that I know of is a bit too far away from work. All we've got close by is stuff like Target, Best Buy, Linen's and Things, Lowes, and Ikea. I will probably end up at the Best Buy near our house eventually, since one of the gift cards I was going to get her is i-tunes, but since the other gift card I was planning is Barnes and Noble, it makes more sense to wait and go to the BB near our house, which is right near a B&N.
Sorry, I meant to label that those brains were from Blake Edwards and dipped in Blazin' Buffalo Sauce.
Mmm..Blazin' Buffalo Sauce.

Not at all. Bubble it up to the principal, then the board if necessary.
Baby eating is 5-6th grade level.

I'm sorry, Lord President Moorluck, but we may need to have a new election for the Presidency of FAWLTy.
See, there's this chap from Serbia that has taken the title of Ultimate Man and, to keep our cred as being the most-badass group of gamers in the world, I feel we have to nominate him for presidency.
But, we're going to let you run against him and remember, the rules for generating votes are the same as always: hookers & blow are perfectly acceptable bribes.

Got a call from the staffing agency today. I start a position on January 3rd. The job would entail plastic mold injection. and the best part is it is a temp-to-hire postion.
Congratulations!
Although, I'm not sure why anyone would need to have plastic molds injected into them. It sounds uncomfortable. :p

Thanks, Paris. I appreciate that. I know it's all going to be all right, but sometimes I just need to vent. Get it out of my system as it were so I can move on.

Psh.... that is such a load of crap. The guy didn't jump. I was pissed at the shark so I threw the first chump I got my hands on and killed the guppy with an overbite.
You should know by now, all awesome is LPM. ;)

Well, it helps a little. I mean, not that I want anyone else to go through this, but there is a certain comfort in not being the only one.

~Opens fridge, takes out a container of "it" and sniffs.~
Not all BT, I think this batch of "it" went bad.
True story (this is strange, random and is another example of how my brain does strange, random things...so it seemed fitting to share here):

Have a great day, FAWTLs!
I have some good fatigue stories from the infantry, but I think the best ones I've heard were from guys who went through ranger school.
Will my mention that I was busily making holiday candy this week and have white chocolate wintergreen fudge to share make me even mor friends?
Yes. So sayeth the LPM.

If you are going with gift cards, would you have the option of going to a grocery store? Sounds tacky, I know, but the stores in my area have little kiosks with lots of different card options...including ones from other retailers.

Same here, I love it, I can do all my "light" gifting and grab some frozen burritos for lunch.
Friend! :)
