The kid, "can I have popcorn? Can I have yogurt?" Can I have this, can I watch that.

OK, so....I bought one a those big boxes of popcorns that you pop in the microwave....you know, one of those wholesale club size ones. 

I leave it in the basement next to the fridge. 

Turtle keeps hounding me for popcorn. 

So I go down to look, and it's not there. 

It's not anywhere. 

Who do I suspect? (Yep)

I call her up, "Where's the popcorn?"

"Oh I moved it upstairs to the pantry"

OK, I go look in the pantry. No popcorn. 

I call again, "Where's the %$##@@* popcorn??"

"It's in the pantry, I don't remember"

 

I dig around. this is what happened.....

She decided that she didn't like the box that it was in,

so out of her %$#@#$ useless illogical reflex, she found a macaroni and cheese box to put it in. 

<Sigh> FFS......

Many.  We get phone message yesterday:  "Your payment is one month overdue.  Call to make arrangements."

We checked (pun intended), and our check had cleared on February Many'th, so they wasted their time and irritated their customer, idiots man.

So I came back to work after twoo week of sick leave and I don't like it. Wouldn't mind to stay at home a little longer :D

It was nice to be at home. Well after the first week when I was sleeping all the time. The second week I spent watching Game of thrones. Watched all the seasons so I'm ready for the last one! 😀

Why can't you go skiing because you're on call? How far away is skiing?

Times have certainly changed since the McCarthy era. 

 

Because I’ve really got to be at home or the like where I can just pop in my car and be there within a couple of minutes once the emergency call comes in?  If I’m a mile out on a XC trail, it isn’t going to work.
