  • A Quickie -


    Still preparing for a big meeting tomorrow.  Hopefully some decsions will be made so I can figure out the rest of my department and how it will look in the new merged affiliate.  I have my opinions ...we shall see.  The bad thing is that my super cool new boss will not be there. 


    In other tragic news, George Clooney's pot-bellied pig Max dies at age 19.   You can read all about it here

    Off to make fruit salad and cookies for tomorrow night - Ho Ho Ho - Holiday Crap begins

  • Happy Sunday


    Another grueling week will be starting in less that 24 hrs but I plan on fighting it for awhile with visiting with a friend, maybe a little shopping & getting me tree and of course football.  How bad can the Bucs loose today??  We will know soon.  The reason why work is so grueling but yet exhilarating for me right now is with the merger, the layoffs have started.  You can read Beachy's latest post about the subject.  She says it soooo well.  That's why she is a writer/marketer and can sell at work while I am a data geek that can also string a complete sentence, hell sometimes a whole paragraph together in the work setting but hey, lets not be a show off - ha ha.  We all knew that layoffs were possible but that doesn't make it any easier.    There is a big meeting on Wed and my new boss (or as Acid would say my Super Super) will not be there to have my back.  She has a family emergency.


    All this means to me is a confirmation of goodbye 2006 ...hello 2007


    On a lighter note - Pumpkin is BEAUTIFUL again.  Their parting shot was "don't wax it for 30 days"  I am thinking - no freakin problem there.  My laziness on this is what got me into this pickle (read prior post for details) in the 1st place.  It does need a bath.  The hood is all nice and shiny and sand free and then there is the rest of the car.  I was hoping they were going to wash it - geez I am lazy!  Oh well it was a good investment.   The car is only 6 years old with a little over 60K miles, I am going to make this sucker last for at least 10.  It is good to have goals.


    I also had a thought yesterday ...I need another digital camera that is smaller than my big one where I can change lens and stuff.  I missed some great fog rolling onto the beach yesterday cause I was lazy and did not bring my big guy.  I am already looking on ebay hoping to score a deal.  Maybe soon you will be seeing pics from my new investment.  Gotta get back into my photography thing.


    Well I gotta get in gear ...later Hosers

  • Still tired!  I have been staying up way to late and getting up way to early!


    Atlanta was a good trip, got to meet with my new boss - she is FANTASTIC.
    Finally things are starting to turn around ...woo hoo come on 2007.


    Off to drop Pumpkin off (my car) to get the hood repainted.  Someone I paid to wash and wax my car buffed through the protected coating and now my paint is cracking.  Since I was changing companies (they had folks come into the office so it was all right there and I could just leave my keys at the front desk and walk out t o a pretty car) I am not really sure which one did the damage.  They are probably out of business anyway - ha ha.  Oh well, live and learn right?


    Have a great Friday everyone

  • Atlanta is going good but I am really tired.
    while this week is going to be busy, so far productive and it is looking up!  hooray for me.


    hope all is well in your world

  • I am beat!


    This working a full day thing is really over rated


    One of my most favorite of favorite co-workers resigned today.  What a loss.  Her last day will be 1/15.  Luckily LT and I are buds so I will still see her and her fluffy dogs regularly.  Still sucks though.  Who's cube will hide out in now???


    Off to go pack for Atlanta.  Have a great Tuesday.

  • Today turned out busier than I thought it would be.


    I went to  see the new James Bond movie with my Bro and mom and then we ended up shopping.  I really don't like to shop, but I did get a lot of xmas shopping done so it was good.  If I was by myself I might have ran into Macy's to see if I could find a deal on some clothes for the office.  I will be in Atlanta next week and I think it is going to be cold (for me that is) so I can always use another cool blazer.


    Now the movie was WAY better than I expected.  1st off the new Bond guy is pretty hot, never heard of him but great abs and gorgeous baby blues.  He was also more "real" than the other Bonds, this one actually bleeds.  For you guys, don't worry there are still hot chicks, WITH brains!  Yep, it was pretty good.


    I can't believe I only have one more day off!  The Shame!

  • I am still stuffed from turkey!


    today has been nice and low key.  Took Beachy to the airport, read a few chapters, went to the beach for a few hours, tried a new diner ...whew!  busy.  My Bro is in town so  I think tomorrow we are going to a movie.  My mom has got him booked with shopping and errands after ...poor poor brother!  Hope all is doing well and eating leftovers.

  • By Request ...more toga pics.


    interestingly, these are blury ...hmm I wonder how much I had to drink by then....oh wait was really my camera/film speed.  yeah that's my story.
    I am busy tomorrow doing more baking and cleaning up the house for the big turkey day extravaganza.  Hope everyone has a great hump day.

  • Happy Monday!


    so far vacation is going quite well.  OK, so I have had to talk to the office and such but on the whole all is good.
    Beachy's toga party was a blast.  Nothing like good food, good friends and good booze to pass a night away.   There was sooooo much food leftover that some of us reconvened Sunday for NASCAR/Football watching and munching.  Good times. 


    Hope you enjoy some of the pics.  more might come up later
