Found a daycare for wee bears. Turns out of the 5 other kids that are there now, 1 of them belongs to my new coworker. Mind you this is an hour away from where we work.  😲

That gif can be either eating or throwing up -I mostly see the latter-.

Seriously considering sheep.

Sheep are good to keep grass mowed.

yep, except she leaves all of the dishes and the kitchen for us to clean up after her. She has no problem making a big mess but never can clean up after herself. This is nothing new, she's been like this all of my life and if I ever left so much as a spoon in the sink I heard about it for weeks. I asked her not too long ago if she had forgotten where the dishwasher was. Well that led to a big set to.

Here's what I'm talking about. We left at 2:30 to run errands and then had a rare Sat. night out at the local Greek Festival. This awaited our return at 9 pm.

Things that unsettle Nola:

 

job ad reposted several days ago for my job

 

despite knowing the area has a huge turnover

 

and despite knowing that they often have ads up for the job.

 

I had lunch with a couple of the managers and the big guy as part of my onboarding and... I just hope I didn't say something wrong. 😓

Saturday ES/GS report, see man:

 

Note, man:  We had Many of the above itineraried, but we didn't attend 2 (too far) and decided to skip 2 others (probably couldn't make by deadline), so in reality we attended not Many, but Many, full disclosure man.

 

The take, see man:

  -- Acco stapler; can Progresso soup; Many (2+1) pairs socks = $Many ($2+2), OK man

  -- Nino Cerutti suit*; full box vinyl exam-gloves = $Many ($2x2x2+2+2), steal man

Total** = $Many ($2x2x2x2)

 

*Coat fit us perfectly "off the rack," rare man.  Cost to shorten cuffs/take in butt = $Many ($2+1), fair man.  Total cost for suit = $Many ($2x2x2x2-1), still steal man.

 

**Excludes $Many ($2+2) spent on 2 folding Director's chairs bought on on-line ES auction, first foray thereinto man.

And precisely what is amiss with this as a philosophy and practice, huh huh huh TL ma'am?

 

Hmmmph, man.  Next, you'll be claiming that "I see what I eat" is the same as "I eat what I see," obviously man.

[TBoneTX 45,365]

#2 de-dishing about to occur, why won't Mrs. T-B. use our copious disposable plates huh man.

Laundry already conquered, imagine that man.

And we might yet get to bed before Many a.m., Heap Strong Medicine mandatory man.

Mornin', Commie- and other babes with refulgent "Like" inventories!

It's not the eating per se, it's that she leaves all of her dirty dishes in the sink, food on the counters, garbage can in the middle of the floor and then expects us to clean up after her. This happens on a daily basis and there is a long history behind it that I won't go into. Suffice to say, there is one set of standards that she applies to herself and a totally different one that is applied to me. I really don't want to live with her, but Frenchy likes having a yard, veg. garden and flowers and doesn't want to move. I've reached the point where I truly believe that she only loves me because I'm her child, but really doesn't like or respect me. I heard her telling my aunt that I was obligated to take care of her, my brother on the other hand is exempt from everything, because he's a man with his own family according to her.

Have you been spying on Mrs. T-B., huh TL ma'am?

Our Tommy Hilfiger bath towel came up in the rotation for use, si man.

We used it once and have decided to retire/donate it, decide we man.

Like every T.H. product that we've encountered, it is inferior and was probably overpriced at retail*, sigh man.

     *of course, everything at retail is overpriced by default, detail about retail man

 

We have replaced it in the rotation with our DKNY towel, far better man.

This is the DKNY towel that we got for $1, well worth that extravagant expense man.
