Tiz Monday.

We woke up to -3°. We're up to 33° now. Yay us.

I put our former in-ear monitor system from church up on the Ebay and that ended last night. Today, I've sent a couple boxes off, still waiting on one payment before sending another, and talking with another guy who's interested in in the biggest lot that didn't sell. I hope this all ends well with no scamming and loss of church assets involved.

Coming soon to a day near you: Tuesday

It's cold. Winter is here. I don't like winter and coldness.

I'm also in a stabby mood.

But something in my office smells good. I think it's me. (I'm trying a new hairspray out.)

Good day, all! It is another cold one here in KS. Not quite as cold as what Web has been dealing with, but still... 18* is dang chilly. Just counted it out on the calendar and I have a whopping 6 1/2 workdays left of the year.

Otherwise, not a lot going on just yet, but then again I'm not really all that awake yet either. I spent a couple hours last night sorting out all of the nonsense that needed to be updated on my computer to make it work from home. I'm sure glad these major upgrades don't happen all that often.

Anyhoo... hope everybody has a great day!

*quietly hides scissors, pencils, and pens* Good morning. I'm sorry you feel stabby. I hope your day improves, or at least you have an adequate supply of bleach with which to dispose of the evidence.

Hey ya.

It's 20° warmer than yesterday morning . . . at a lovely 17°.

I gots no pretty smells in here today. I do have a headache though, if that counts for anything.

I kinda wish I was somewhere else, doing something different.

Morning all. I had an 8:30 meeting this morning. You know I didn't like that. The only time I am here before 8:30 is during the summer when there is no traffic and the sun is up before me. I left the house at 6:50 and I rolled in here at 8:05. I made better time than I thought. Had it been still raining it would have been worseYou guys can keep the cold weather. It is 40* ish here now. I assume the cold weather will be headed my way.

I just looked and I also have 6 1/2 workdays left this year.

Even though Mema is higing all her stabby objects, as long as you promise not to stab me, I will supply you with more stabby objects.

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

I know I should be grateful for my "cold." You guys always have the cold and snow worse than I do. It's 29 degrees here, but I still don't like it.

All I need is a Sharpie. And you guys are pretty safe, as long as you don't ask me to do your work for you and then nag me when it's not done yet.

Bummer on the headache, Web. I sure hope that gets better.

I'll promise to not do that. And yes, I completely sympathize. Many a day someone needs to disarm me.

Oh. I thought you had time to do my work too. I' offer you a cookie or two, but right now I am not sure you can have anything I have made so far this year. Maybe. I seem to forget. Why do I think you can't have eggs? I know you can't have corn products.

I'll just make you some fudge this weekend.

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

You're right Fuzzy, I can't have egg whites.

If I remember right, I CAN have your fudge. I think it's your recipe I use to make mine.

I probably should start my xmas baking this weekend too.

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

Have I mentioned lately how much my boss being here disrupts my day and my workflow?

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

I understand Fuzzy. So does mine. But it's worse when you don't have to deal with it all the time.

I need to start leaning to mouse with my left hand. My right hand is cold.

I hate when that happens. And I wonder why that is since I am using it. Silly hand.

I don't know how you do it every day. Yesterday since I was in at 8 I wanted to be out of here by 5, no later than 5:30. There was voting for club officers last night and I had to be there by 7 to vote. Damn boss. I left here at 7:15. I am so not happy about these extra hours this week with him here. And I feel like we haven't accomplished a thing.

No wonder I can never get anything done. I can't get away from my boss!

I'm good at telling my boss any time it looks like I might be pressured into staying later than I want, "I need to be out of here by XXX because I have another comittment." Then later, "Sorry, I have to go, this will have to wait until tomorrow or email, or else I'll be late." I mean, really, as long as it is after your working hours, you're allowed to have a personal life.

I was looking at the Nebraska job site a few days ago just to see what is out there. One of them looked interesting to me: DISH Network Technician

The job would basically be DISH installation and service. I know out here, it would mean some traveling, but they provide a van and all expenses. I thought "I might be good at that with my knowledge of audio/visual, electronics, internet/computers, and construction." I also thought that would be more, steady income which would make Mrs Web happy, and I'd be gone a lot which would also make Mrs Web happy.

I talked to a guy who is an independent DISH dealer to see if he knows anything about what a corporate tech job is like. He said he asked around and checked into it once and he said that the pay is not great, or bad, but the worst thing is that you are constantly on call. He said it's normal to get an email at 9:00pm on Saturday night telling you that you have a service appointment 120 miles away at 9:00am on Sunday morning. It also doesn't matter what the weather is like, you're there on time, or you either don't get paid, or are fired.

Doesn't sound like the job for me.

That's similar to what I've heard about cable and satellite installation around here.

That is another reason I told him I am not doing the hours the first four months of the year. I told him I needed to go get a second job where I would be paid to work those hours so I can keep my house. I don't know if he actually believes I won't do it.

You should apply somewhere and use him as a reference just so he'll get a call.

We have security officer opening in Beatrice, Bellevue, Fairmont, Lincoln, Omaha. While I cannot promise great money, there wouldn't be travel involved. I know most of these places are probably not close to you.

Oh, I so would do that if I could get my foot in the door anywhere. No one wants me. cry My next attempt is to write my duties and my additional work up (again) and present it with a job posting for a sales tax manager's position that I found last week. I do eveything on the posting long list except for one thing and that is only because we do not do that here. But I could do it if the treasurt dept required it. Now, that is only half of my job. So when you add all the income and personal property tax into it, there is absolutely no reason I should have a manager's title. I want my promotion dammit. That is the only way I will get my raise.

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

Apply somewhere that you wouldn't want to go, just so he'll get a call. It could be Wally World or Mickey D's, just with the threat of a 2nd job.

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

I considered getting a job at H&R Block. The girls that sits next to me works for them too.

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

They'd love to have you. Or Jackson Hewitt.
