I hate it when people post just to post.....

Not really. There is a layer of Water between you and the suit that helps keep you warm. The pee just mixes in with that and is largely gone pretty soon after.

I'm trying to decide whether that makes it sound better... :grouphug: LOL

[BethFromVA 5]

Except for the lingering smell!! :puke:

No kiddin'! :grouphug::hurray:

Beth-congrats

Fanny- Holy effing crap. I would vomit being up that high.

PJTP- my boss is a canoe. And by canoe I mean a word that rhymes with punt.

Ba! Cackled out loud with that one!

I'm going to compile a reply to the laundry list - I have an answer for most everything they mentioned - and in the meantime, I've spruced up my resume and am looking for another position within the university.

Just make sure if you do decide to put something in writing, that you really REALLY scrutinize what you put down and check it 14x for what could be perceived as attitude. I might go as far as to ask the union rep or a trusted (non-work) friend to review the verbiage.

Hopefully by the time my 1 year anniversary arrives (early June) I'll be moving to a new position and a happier, healthier work environment!

Believe and achieve. Keep the positive attitude!!! Let the past be the past and think toward a better future with better folks!

Except for the lingering smell!! :grouphug:

HYSTERICAL!!!!!!! The idea of swimming in a river with a bunch of other people kicking around my head doesn't sound like my idea of fun. But as my father says, "but that's why they make chocolate ice cream b/c not everyone likes vanilla"!

PJTA(sk) - why am I so enthralled with prison shows? I don't mean city jail; I mean where they house major criminals like at Corcoran Prison in Cali. I'm going to go with appreciating what I have!

PJTP - Why does it rain on Saturdays???

Cuz Mother Nature has a sick sense of humor.

We're supposed to do a Hot Laps thingie today -- where you get into a race car and they do a "drift" with you (where they skid sideways). I doubt we'll be driving by the time we get there.

It's being hosted through Marlboro. Guess DH's smoking comes in good for something... :scared2:

To force me to stay inside and clean the house?:wub: I have been up forever. I have already done the grocery shopping and hit Sam's. I am now cleaing my kitchen so that I can mess it up again. MIL came over to bum more cigs.:scared2: While here, she offered to help clean. I guess that is supposed to be payment for the use of the car and all of the smokes from DH.:tt2:

You need one of those wireless fences that zaps her azz every time she comes over. :mad:

pjtp - hi... :scared2:

[BethFromVA 5]

pjtp - hi...

HEY!!!! YOU BEEN MISSED!! I know you're doing stuff like, oh I dunno, raising a baby an' stuff, but we need you to check in periodically! Hrumph! :scared2: lol!

MIL came over to bum more cigs.:rolleyes2: While here, she offered to help clean. I guess that is supposed to be payment for the use of the car and all of the smokes from DH.

But the question is: is she capable of cleaning and doing a good job? 'Cause if she is, I'd use her...about time you got something good outta the woman!

pjtp - hi...

Yahoo - LJM is back....

HEY!!!! YOU BEEN MISSED!! I know you're doing stuff like, oh I dunno, raising a baby an' stuff, but we need you to check in periodically! Hrumph! :thumbup: lol!

What she said!!!

OK - So yesterday instead of playing in the dirt, I went to a garden center, spent money I don't have on things for the garden. And nope, not pretty flowers - I've got to get the land ready first. So, lots of earth, mulch, and a new lawnmower.

Overnight there was frost, so it will be a while before I head outside...brrr!!! I have hired my nephew to be my 'assistant' for the day - 6'4" of huge muscles (and appetite). He is going to spend the day doing hard physical labor...

Made a new recipe for a white choc cake yesterday...a failure! I swear some recipes are never tested before being included in cookbooks or online. DH suggested the birds, or other wildlife might enjoy it - such a colossal waste of good ingredients...BAH!! Going to make another cake now...and maybe some squares...date? Peanut Butter? apricot cream cheese? hmmmmm, guess I will wait to see what inspires me when I get to the kitchen.. Catch you all later

Man...the crickets can be heard chirping in here. This sure has been a very slow posting weekend.

I hope that everyone had a very pleasant weekend. Hopefully you all will be back tomorrow!

Hey losingjusme!

Peeing in the wet suit is mandatory. But people still pee while riding their bikes on the longer races. Yuck. I don't want to win that badly. I'll use a porta-potty.

Oh YUCK! I simply cannot imagine doing that...YUK! :eek:

I'm having trouble at work too. I don't like to talk about work in public though. You never know who is reading.

Ya gotta point, Mac...hope your situation resolves itself in your favor soon.

PJTP - Why does it rain on Saturdays???

My dear departed MIL (no sarcasm - really did love her to bits) said it never rains all day on Saturday, 'cause if it did, we'd have an excuse to not go to church on Sunday. I've seen days that were cloudy and drizzly all day, but not an all-day rain...things that make you go hmmm

Cuz Mother Nature has a sick sense of humor. :wub:

Yeah, she does...

Beth, that sounds like fun...I've always wanted to drive a race car! :smile:

OMG...ROFLMBO...:lol:

:lol:That is a visual that just made my day!

Mine too!

HEY!!!! YOU BEEN MISSED!! I know you're doing stuff like, oh I dunno, raising a baby an' stuff, but we need you to check in periodically! Hrumph! :mad2: lol!

What she said...how's the baby, LJM?

Man...the crickets can be heard chirping in here. This sure has been a very slow posting weekend.

I hope that everyone had a very pleasant weekend. Hopefully you all will be back tomorrow!

Hey losingjusme!

I jumped in here for just a minute - finishing up a very nice, busy and productive weekend.

Gardening on Saturday - pulled out a bunch of stuff, planted a whole lot more stuff...now my hamstrings are sore (but in a good way)! Saw 'Angels and Demons' over the weekend - good movie. Love Tom Hanks in the role of scholar and symbologist (new word from the movie).

Hope everyone's weekend was great! :cool:

same here - well not really productive, just a tad too social & suffered most of the day because of it.

another wk DH is home, still cutting back on technology - but he sneaks so i have too.

have a good wk all.

oh slim - saw inlaws yesterday, first time since Xmas. i can really keep up w/this schedule......:laugh:

[BethFromVA 5]

PJTP: Okay, who here thinks it's ridiculous to pay $550 for shots for two dogs??? I only got the necessary stuff (bloodwork for heartworm meds, rabies, lyme, and one other for bacteria) -- no bordatella (?) or anything exotic. I about had a conniption when I got to the counter!!! I'm seriously thinking about having a major "coming to Jesus" talk with somebody there (I haven't paid yet)! :laugh:
