[B][/KIWONKERS!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PUT THAT PICTURE OF MY ARSE HANGING OUT OF THE TREE!! SHOW SOME COMPASSION---I WILL HAVE TO POST A PICTURE OF YOU IN A COMPROMISING POSTITION!!!!!

LOL !!!! Now THAT is funny! Why is the picture so brittle around you, Kiwi? Were you flapping around trying to get up? I know it's REALLY you because YOUR NAME is on the photo. Unlike Big Butt which could be anyone. Bagz provides documentation.

And the word ARSE is so effin amusing.

WHAT IS REALLY AMUSING IS COWPERN SWEARING----LIKE EFFIN SWEARING!!! I THINK WE HAVE CORRUPTED THE PROPER MS PEACH!!! a little known fact outside the herd----miss cowpern used to get weighed in public downt the winn dixie-----i think the grampasaurus rexes used to keep a log of her progress posted on the public announcement corkboard by the grocery carts.

Hudda.

Cursing in other languages like Canadian is not really cursing. LCP says "Bollocks" all the time.

Can a person not join Facebook anonomously?

I have something to say about my job with the kids. Persons picking up their kids have to sign a book in TWO places. Often they don't. They skip one or both or put the the time but not their name or in other way don't do it right. On my performance evaluation the other day, I was given a low score because of all the places not signed correctly. The director had signed out her nephew the day before, put the time and not her name. So I said, "You're writing me up for this and you didn't sign out bobby yesterday?"

Her: "I did sign him out."

Me: "You put the time. You didn't sign it."

Her mouth got really really open hugely like a lion and she yelled, "I'll go sign it for you but it's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY."

Got that? One thing I hate about ageing is that you keep running into the same old crap over and over. Incompetent bosses are one of the things I run into and hate.

Omigod, Cowp! I had to read that last section of your post about running into incompetent bosses to my DH! I may have mentioned that he's a software engineer. In other words, he designs software applications for the hospital where he works. About a year ago, his department got a new boss - "Team leader", they call him - who knows diddly squat about software design (DH says he's a "hardware guy" whose job is mostly to keep the systems running) and has, as a result, totally unreal expectations about software design. They have come to near blows frequently, and most recently (which is why DH is job-searching) they came too close to blows for comfort. The "Team Leader's Team Leader (one pictures team leader after team leader telescoping into eternity...where does it all end?) had to get involved, and it turns out that she doesn't know any more than he does, and naturally took his boss's side, making milque-toasty suggestions about how DH could "improve his performance". Hah! Needless to say, he's been steaming thru the ears ever since, and determined, now, to get out of there ASAP.

Luckily, I work pretty autonomously out of my own office, and with little human interaction except for a couple or seven meetings a week that invariably feel like a gross waste of time. I have a lovely "gal Friday" sort of person who has adjusted herself admirably to my temperament, which can be quite intimidating to little young newbies who drift about looking shell shocked. She knows that if left alone, and interrupted only when a fresh pot of coffee has been perked, I can be a remarkably pleasant and sunny person. I have even been known on occasion (admittedly rare, but I have done it) to ask after her family or inquire as to where she's planning to vacation this year. This, of course, is something that she wisely keeps to herself, as it would tarnish my image considerably (the old recluse occupying that big office on the fourth floor; I wonder what she actually DOES????? )

But yes, and yes! The older we get (and you ain't seen nuthin' yet, hunny!) the more incompetence surrounds us, and frequently on the admin. level. How they got there or why is STILL a mystery to me!

End of rant.

Have a good day!

Elly, we have a snitch at work who casually walks through all the rooms and reports back to the director. On my performance eval, I read that I had "said" something that I did not say to the director. Sometimes the snitch "reveals" things like she once hit a child or she doesn't like some other child and I feel that she's baiting me. So .... all these references to my age .... are you trying to find out how old I am? It's just not in my bottle of conversational items. I hate Painty's thing about age at the bottom of her posts. I can't help how old I am and it keeps getting worse. That's all I want to say about it.

I am going to sell beer and chips today.

I love Arse too... Sounds Piratey. Arrrrg! Move yer arse matey afore I tieya to the mast!

Keep ta yerself Pernie. The "management staff" sounds as dysfunctional as some of them poor childruns.

Went to dinner and a movie last night... A love not cooking... we saw 300 that Spartan movie. The CGI crap was distracting but it was fairly historically accurate. I love history - can't wait for "The Tudors" coming on Showtime channel....

I'm off to walk the furkids. tah tah dahlinks!

Ummmm, Cowpie, I think it's been well established that I'm the elderly one here. I've never been one, though, to hold anyone's comparative youth against them, so I'm definitely NOT fishing for info, honest. <~~~ really looks like me!

Shatzi, Your furry kids sound so lovely.

Tah!

Ella

Wouldn't that be a little like wearing sunglasses and a hat on your driver's license?
I saw a brief preview of that and was totally put off by the cgi violence. I suppose there must be more to it than that...

I'm pretty sure the squiggly-ness about that skiing picture is because the camera person was laughing so hard.

And I thought "Big Butt" was documentation enough.

My kiddo is back at school. She rode in cars with boys (the BF and as many brothers as would fit in the car) as far as Portland, took a bus to Boston, then the subway, then a cab. All with 2 overstuffed bags.

I miss her already. Don't feel like she was home for a week at all. Of course I have spent it in a medicated haze for the most part.

cgi = ?

My day at supermarquet was good til I'd been there on my feet for SEVEN hours and this man puts his head of lettuce and bottle of pills on the conveyor belt along with a plastic 20 oz. cup of orange liquid and ice he'd brought in. The belt moved. The cup turned over and lots of lots of ice and liquid went everywhere. He said sorry. I said you didn't hurt anything and asked what the liquid was. Koolaid or something he said.

A few minutes later my team leader asked me what happened and I said the stuff above and asked why. The old wart had gone to customer service and reported that I had a bad attitude. If only I had known while he was in the store.

My team leader sweetly told him "Her? I doubt it." But I coulda shown him a bad attitude in the parking lot.

Cowper wants ta rumble. I didn't realize you worked at a Canadian supermarquet.

Ellabella re: incompetent bosses --- I'm my own and yes, incompetent.

Schatzi, I lurk, b/c that takes all the effort I own. Sometimes I can't even manage that.

Tomorrow is temporary custody hearing for grandbaby. DS is very sick. He hopes he doesn't barf in the courtroom. It's hard to convince a judge that you can take care of a 1 yr old when you're vomitous.

don't worry wabby!!! he can tell them he has you and they can't hold such a thing against him----everyone gets the flu!!!!-------MANY MANY GOOD VIBES ARE BEING AIMED TO THE WEST COAST TOWARDS YOU AND YOURS!!XOXOXOXO---COWPIE----WHAT A JERK-----------HE SPILLS STICKY KOOLAID ALL OVER YOUR CONVEYOR BELT AND THEN HAS THE NERVE TO COMPLAIN---YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SCREAM AND HOLLER AT HIM AND HE STILL SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO COMPLAIN---GRAMPASAURAUS DORKUS REXIMUS ARSE!!!!!

I work in a Candian supermarquet because the Canadian codgers live here in the winter.

By the way, try this: write B__QUET and ask people what it is. Men are supposed to say a different word than women.

I shoulda been able to kick him in the shin.

Regarding precious Wabbaby, the judge will try to do what she/he thinks is best for the baby. Being sick doesn't count. Snippiness does. However, they can be .. well .. stupid. When I going through this with my ds and he was two, a social worker had to come visit the home. It had been raining and we had big puddles outside. I made paper boats and we were floating them when she arrived. She seemed to believe I did this alllllll the time and was very impressed. I was just so nervous waiting for her that I wanted to get outside AND present a good mommy-front. But it worked. Take boats with you.
