It's the WE Happy Hour Thread for 10/31!! H5's if your week was as bad as mine

[SaintLouieWoman]

chin up, carl.  the best job I have ever had, and still have, came in the middle of an economic downturn.  smart companies see a downturn as an opportunity to ramp up in strategically important areas.

embellish the resume, and shoot it out some more.

Sadly my older son lost his job about a month ago. He worked for a small company and the owner fired everyone, is trying to get out of the lease for the office, and moving back into a home office.

It's tough out there. He's temporarily working at a doggie day care with about 60-70 dogs all running around in a large yard. I love dogs, but I'd really be worried on that. He's had to break up some fights with the large dogs.

He's also got a couple "jobs" selling ads for a small website and for a small magazine. They're commission only---don't think he's sold anything yet, but he's just starting.

So Wretch, think of me, being tapped constantly for funds. Plus my boss beating me up (not literally) to make more sales. Aaaaargh, so glad it's Friday.

Now does that deserve a Hi-5? Hope that makes you feel better in comparison.

****ANNOUNCEMENT FROM FRANKSOLICH****

****FRANKSOLICH MAKES AN ANNOUNCEMENT****

****ANNOUNCES FRANKSOLICH*****

****FRANKSOLICH ANNOUNCES*****

October has come out as franksolich predicted, edging March 2008.

New projection is November is going to come out as September did, perhaps better.

Thanks to all who contributed comments, here and elsewhere on conservativecave, so as to make franksolich accurate in his projection.  franksolich can't be right without your help!

Glad you made your forecast. Now I can slink off and go to sleep. It's been a rough week.

you absolutely qualify.

actually, we have another milestone that we can hit together.  if we can bump new posts for the month up a bit . . .

[SaintLouieWoman]

you absolutely qualify. 

Wish I didn't qualify. I went to the stupid Sleep Center. I was busted by the doc. They have a "smart card" in that cpap machine. It showed I went 2 weeks w/o using it. He said the insurance company would be very angry with me.

He told me I only had borderline sleep apnea and he only gave me the darned machine because I had high blood pressure. I didn't like that guy from the beginning. I guess he doesn't like me, either.

That reminds me, I guess I'd better try to find that stupid spy "smart card" in my purse. He'll go ballistic if I lose it. Maybe the evil part of me wants to lose it. It's been that kind of week.

What qualifies as a new post? Is it from a new to CC poster?

any post is a new post.  this one qualifies.

The friend I have with a cpap machine said that once you get used to it, it's great.

maybe SR just needs to soothe you to sleep better.

[SaintLouieWoman]

Oh, he's very soothing. I sleep like a rock. I've never had a problem sleeping, which is probably why I've resisted that cpap machine.

I can't sleep with the thing, stay up for hours with my eyes wide open til I rip it off.

Hope I helped at least a little bit reaching the new milestone. All this talk about sleep centers and cpap machines has made me sleepy. Heading off to find that stupid spy smart card. Might try that machine another time, don't want to hear the big lecture from that doc again. He's one arrogant doc. I guess I have a hard time with folks who are condescending and arrogant. It's a little failing of mine. Sigh.

Can you turn it on and not wear it?  Would that trick the card?

[Miss Mia]

Still nothing remarkable on Ghost Hunters. I'm slightly disappointed.


I even stopped watching to take a shower, it's still boring.

The "Live" shows were never quite as good as the others.  Right now, I wish they'd show the Armory episode again from Season 1, where that sound guy got shoved to the ground by something they couldn't see. Probably the most intense paranormal phenomena they've ever had.

Okay, well my hopes are slightly up with them returning to the dungeon.

I don't know if this qualifies as a truly shitty week, but I've been wrestling with OSHA all ****ing week.

When you're dealing with the feds and you're conservative and you understand incompetence when you see it cloaked by a set of credentials................

Gasket is so far intact, but I dunno......

Evening, kids!

[Wretched Excess]

Evening, kids!

Hi, jen!

what did you do tonight ?

[Miss Mia]

Evening, kids!

Get any trick or treaters Jen?

[jendf]

Hi, jen!

what did you do tonight ?

Hung out with my sister and nephews. They are 4 and 3-years-old. L was a skeleton and M was Bob the Builder.

They made out like bandits at two church-lead "trunk 'n' treat" events.

[jendf]

I live in an apartment complex on the third floor. Kids never want to work that hard for candy. 

But I spent the evening hanging with my sister and nephews. Good times!

Yeah, when I was in the apartment no trick or treaters either.  I skipped going trick or treating with my nephews to take my dad out to dinner for his birthday tonight.

Yes, I was quite a good daughter tonight.  We went to his favorite catfish place and I got him a funny card.
