Title: Frosty Friday
Post by: NHSparky on March 13, 2009, 06:33:01 AM
12 degrees at the house.  19 at work on the Seacoast.  12 hours of emergency lighting work, and since today was supposed to be a day off, all OT.

Might be working tomorrow, might not.  Depends on how it goes.

Supposed to hit the 40's today. Which would be a nice surprise.

I hope today is better than yesterday, which would not be hard to do.  I am out of here this afternoon for an all day training class tomorrow Up North Dere Hey. :p

Well the day started off promising here.  The puppy ate this months bank statement and then peed on the sofa when I tried to grab her to stick her in her crate to clean up the confetti mess without "help".   :thatsright:

Our pup, who'll be one year old next week, is reacting well to a spray bottle filled with water.

When she grabs a piece of paper or a dishtowel and runs around looking for a place to crouch down and destroy said item, then finds herself being confronted with the countenance of yours truly and said spray bottle, she meekly drops the item and walks away.

I like that. She's learning.

I do the same thing when people try to bother me at work.  Eventually they'll learn!  lol   :p

It's cold and rainy.  Shitty weather for sure.  I hope it's not raining tomorrow for the parade.   :-)

Slightly busy at work, but I'm trying my best to not really do anything.

Dude you need something that's quick on the draw with one hand, and the power soaker takes two hands.  lol  Think practical ;)

Get one of those extra large water coolers, and one of the curly type hoses from Home Depot.

Put the water cooler behind your desk, the hose under the desk.....wham!!! the offendant will never know what's going to happen until it's too late.... :evillaugh:

Should only take two examples at most.....particularly if first example has on new outfit, all done up hair and make=up..... :fuelfire:

I'm not kidding, either.

Nah, I just bit his head off. I should have smacked him on the nose with a rolled up newspaper. I refer to him as "The Puppy".

He's a young guy, all bright eyed and bushy tailed, and I'm...well...I'm a burnout.

I was trying to find a problem in a spreadsheet, going through tons of formulas to figure out why it wasn't adding up right when he jumps through the door in a 'ta-da!' pose and scared the  :censored: out of me.

I said "Do that one more time and I'll throw your  :censored: :censored: off the roof."


Hasn't bothered me since....hey, I guess my way worked after all.

It's been pretty cool in the mornings but it's getting near 70 in the afternoon. All the trees and flowers are starting to bloom....................and the sap is running through the tree.
























Oh..trees, I ment trees.

Home from work.  Got some tips today, and will use them most wisely on candy and soda for a trip.  :p On a spur of the moment, I'm about to leave Savannah for a couple days to head back to Atlanta.  I need to get out of this town and see my mom, since her birthday's coming up.  I don't even plan on calling her to tell her this.  I'm just going to show up and knock on the door (even though I have a key).     :rotf: :lmao: I'll be leaving shortly, but I needed to check in and make sure the site hadn't imploded.

Hope everyone's had a great day.  It's been cloudy and chilly here.

It's been raining and busy as hell.  What a rotten day; I forgot it was the 13th.  And one side of my car's defogger does not work.  I need to get that fixed.

Yeah...but in a good way, of course.  She's been kind of down lately because of her upcoming birthday (she's 54 on the 19th) hence why I decided to go ahead and make this trip and make it a surprise.   What I ended up doing, though, was send a text message, telling her to unlock the front door.   :lmao:   She was excited and gave me some of the margarita left over from a batch she'd made for my stepdad.  :cheersmate:

I'm looking around at some Buckhead restaurants online, trying to figure out where that danged Cajun place was that we went to before that was FABULOUS.   Cajun cuisine makes any depressed Louisiana native HAPPY again! ;)

As long as you don't have that IDIOTIC, "Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons" bumper sticker, we're all good.
