Morning all, or should that be mourning all,
It's with great sorrow and ineptitude that I declare I have had enough of this challenge and will spend the next week burying it in the back of the closet. Motivation is not there, I'm finding it so difficult to get up in the morning and exercise and food is simply there to be eaten in quantities. I'm not feeling great either which doesn't help. I think I need a dose of sun and whatever in equal quantities. Even the 17 million dollar view is not helping. So today I'm not eating - or at least trying not to eat - much to see if it will help with the plumbing which is acting like an a*sehole - sorry if that was too much info !
And then I will go and get on with the day - more of the same as yesterday which was little achieved and a huge pile of questions and problems on my plate. Yesterdays triumph was that my team had the first fully signed off documentation - signed off by the subject matter experts and the Business. That's an achievement since we started last and are now getting some results that the others are not getting. Must be something to do with the
I threatened them with the other week or its more likely that the man in power (terribly heavy smoker) took me at my word when I suggested he might like to take some outside and check them out when he went out for a smoke. That way he could stay out longer and clear his desk at the same time. Beats me why he didn't think of it in the first place. Comfy chair, cup of coffee, smokes and my masterpieces - what more could a man want!
Mel - of course we would notice the difference. Sanity, or the lack, of comes in many forms. American accents still stand out round here. Canadian ones are more common. Is that saying that the Canucks are more insane??
Thanks for the beep before the =========<splat>. But I'm getting a bit deaf as well as blind as well as tired and thick.
Rennie - I like Maxine because she is so cynical. She's says what I think a lot of the time. There are times, even in WA, where one has to be a little more politically correct - excuse me, would you mind moving to the left a little - is somewhat better than - shift your middling brown ***!!! Not as satisfying mind you.
Holly - I'll send you over some of the new and more comfortable earplugs - you may never want to take them out!
Happy - I promise to have a good day if you will. Actually the team hasn't been too bad lately. Yesterday I had to suffer a bout of can and can't from the younger two (maybe I'll keep those ear plugs Holly). Then a dose of South African pique at not being able to do something on the system, but other than that, they are pulling together a bit better now. Of course massive doses of chocolate fish smooths the myriad of crossed paths. They are getting the idea that if I call them by their full names and not abbreviating them ie Melody instead of Mel, they have overstepped the mark and should shut up before disaster looms. It's like being back with the kids at home in their teenage years.
Ruth, I'm so glad Lucy is still wending her merry way along life's path. I don't think there is too much that is going to get that dog down. Sorry to hear that you haven't been well, and good on ya for not peeling them darned eggs (aigs). Anyway, it's not as if you don't do enough for the community.
Hope we get to see pictures of the quilting when it is finished.
Okay, better buzz off and see if I can achieve something before the mob arrives. I'll check in on you at various times of the day. Don't say you weren't warned.
======(beep, beep..outa the way)
I WENT TO BED LAST NIGHT LAUGHING....GOTTA BE A GOOD THING NO? LOL I WENT TO THE SOAP WEBSITE AND WOULD BE AFRAID I'D TAKE A BITE!! I ALREADY BEGAN CATCHING UP WITH YOUR PHOTOS. THEY ARE ALL GORGEOUS! I LIKED THE KANGAROO PAWS...WAS THAT THE NAME? AND THE HELITOUR PHOTOS TOO. ALTHOUGH I CANNOT IMAGINE MYSELF IN ONE OF THOSE BIG BIRDS.
TO ALL THE GALS!!!
The worst illness I ever got was from catered food at a party - most of the guests got terribly, terribly ill and we figured someone who was preparing the food must have contaminated it. So thank you, as Mel would say - it's the thought that counts
