I am very groggy and still trying to blink the dream out of my brain.

I dreamed we had gotten the transmission fixed on the truck, hadn't been able to pay for the whole thing, but arranged with the guy to come back in the next day or so with the rest of the money.

AJ was not home, I heard noises, went to the front door, and there were two sleazy guys with the tranny already out in the driveway, trying to repossess it.

I chased them off, and called after them that I wanted the bolts back. "Yeah, come down and get 'em," one of the cowardly guys yelled, then ran like I thought he would chase him. In point of fact, I did shriek at him like a banshee.

The alarm went off with me trying to get a lock on the gate so they couldn't come back.

Deep breaths. The tranny belongs to us. The tranny belongs to us. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Today is the last day of school. AJ got home last night. Tonight the kids are doind a program. This will be a fun day!

Glad it was a dream. Survived the day at work. The 2 hour training session was 3.5 hrs w/ no potty break. Then another 1+ hr in afternoon. Got NOTHING much done today. I considered calling in sick. I don't know that I learned much. I don't know that anyone did....but the manager told me to sit in the hallway. Apparently he didn't want me close to him. Then, he took calls on his cell phone during meeting. Some of my co-workers said they were appalled at how he talked to me. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Rella sounds like a manager who is so insecure he has to show everyone how important he is by taking calls in a meeting and being rude to staff. A bully maybe?
You get them everywhere.

Smile at them like you would to a little boy misbehaving, it confuses the HECK out of them. Of course being the retiring person that I am I would let one go and then if it happens again confront him. In public, and very politely. Bullies don't like that, there are people around who can witness it.

My supervisor witnessed the incident and said nothing yesterday or today. My manager witnessed the incident and said it was ok because everyone was laughing with me......<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

My co-workers (at least 5 of them) and someone who did not see the incident have apologized to me or told me that I was too nice when it all happened.

I have an appt with the offender's supervisor on Monday morning. I will tell her about the incident but will not file a grievance. I don't think that would be the thing to do. But, I was totally embarrassed by the incident. Nothing like being told you can't sit in the conference room during a staff meeting - you have to sit in the hall.

(Edited to clarify that the meeting is with the offender's supervisor. If he offended my co-workers with his rudeness someone needs to tell higher mgmt that he is so uncouth)

Rella I an understand the person not wanting to get sick, but there are ways to ask and do it with humour and dignity ... I mean being polite doesn't cost anyone ONE second of time.
Besides in an aircond office it doesn't matter if you are within 10 ft or 10 yards, it was probably how you got yours.
Understand not lodging anything in the circumstances, but make your point firmly but politely.

Neak you just know you shouldn't let me at your dreams lol
I make up so many interpretations <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Lets see... two strangers means news from afar and sneaky stuff to take whats is yours is like an obstacle .... so that could mean that you see some obstacles to your progress which can indicate that you are uncertain of your ability to achieve your goals in life. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> well it sounds so much better than 'CRIPES I forgot to pay the loan!!!" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Madame AW at your service, hold on that sounds so wrong <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I dreamt of chocolate last night .. I wonder what that means ????????? oh yes of course ... you are eating too much and putting on weight again <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I am delighted to report that, for the time being, I am feeling infinitely better....the injected medication for my back has worked wonders for my other ailments. I think I'll survive.

Be warned, if you are allergic to feather pillows, carefully check your hotel pillows. All you need is a congested head and several hours in an airplane. Then, you can have the most painful ears you have ever experienced.

Glad you are feeling better, Rella.

AW, I just had to lololol when I woke up. The idea of somebody repo-ing a tranny is just too funny! There has got to be an easier way to make a living.

AJ made the bestest cowboy beans, which I am having again for supper. Let's just delicately say perhaps I didn't need any more <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> but oh well. It's not stopping me.

This morning I retched several times into the sink. No, I am not pregnant. The Princess brushed her teeth and spat out a big wad of toothpaste froth. It brought a flashback of my dear departed grandmother that makes me actively gag every time I think of it. (I may be typing about it, but am not thinking about it right now.)

When we lived up in the mountains, shortly before she died, she would brush her teeth, fill up her mouth with froth, and then swallow it. She could make me throw up every time.

Now we can all gag together. I feel better for sharing. Thank you.

I'm going to go eat my supper now.

Neak <~~~~~~~ who is not thinking about toothpaste at all

When I was pregnant with my first child, I developed an aversion to toothpaste froth. You know, you can't brush and gag at the same time - at least not happily.

You know what image flashed into my mind after reading this??? The one from blazing saddles when they were all sittting around the campfire eating beans lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Well DD says its supposed to be healthy for you lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Mikey 'helped' me today put the four corner posts up on the spa gazabo, Just spent a 2 hours in the bath with him getting concrete dust out of his nose, hair, ears, nails, toes ........... HE had fun so I guess its ok <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
I'm not exactly enthused with the word mummy right now either ...... every 10 seconds it was mummy ? eh ? nothing else, then Mummy ??? eh? nothing over & over lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
Its the smile that gets you though, very cheeky so its hard to get annoyed <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, it's hard to get annoyed with those little ones. Hey, my 14yo son can still do that.

morning all........ quick driveby .. hows everyone?
hope you still have internet Neak, not too busy with the truck I hope and Rella hope all is well.
TL you have been QUIET ... all ok I do hope so? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


Neak how's the book going by the way? let me know

very tired, off to bed, night all <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I am in desperate need of book nagging. You're off to a good start, but not nearly strident enough. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

We still just have net on one computer, which is irritating. It would be fine if it were my computer, lol.

Today we were supposed to find out the fate of Neaksis' eldest, whether he would be able to get out-of-home placement, but the lady is sick. How dare she! So hopefully tomorrow.

I may be going to Salt Lake City tomorrow. We shall see.

I'm doing better....daughter had been gone for 2 weeks and she is now home. Now, I have to go buy a broom.....HOW do you lose a broom?

maybe it got swept up by the wind!

Bought a new one tonight. And a new dustpan.

AW's mum on the run

Sometimes I liked it so much better when someones mother thought the net was just too complicated. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Lolololololololol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was very good, Mum. I will report back later today that I have written some more. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

AW, your mother cracks me up! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Is she for rent? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

t&l

Well, my brain is tired. It could be that I'm not eating well. Maybe I need to rent a mom, too. Maybe I need a nap. Maybe I need a housekeeper. Maybe I need a nap. Maybe I need a caretaker for the yard and house. Maybe I need a nap.

Maybe I need to not trip over the sidewalk and get scraped up on my way from the car to the office.
