Couch 144: The contact-miked cactus couch

Yeah sometimes the extra cost is worth it, but things could change between now and then. I usually stay in Falls Church or Fairfax when I go, so if I were you I'd look at hotels in that area.

i work today and tomorrow 4 to 9:30... think it's what they call CBL (computer based learning) so HOPEFULLY ill just be sitting at a computer doing cash register simulations lol

im also wondering if my T is dead

One Ngaio Marsh character described the hero's wife as "almost pathologically normal".

Trust you to bring up N. Marsh (it's been decades since I've seen, let alone read, any of the books)!

Squirrel - how long is the drive? Generally driving is cheaper than flying or training, it just costs gas and maybe a hotel overnight, it solves the problem of transit when there, you can pack more, etc.

Yeahbbut isnt it hard on the car, unless you have a fairly newish car? Like under 70,000 miles? To where youre pretty sure stg isnt gonna clunk out on ya?

Oh, I didn't realize you were driving, with your lead-footed ways!

I used to love Ngaio Marsh. I might take a trip to the library library catalogue says they only have them in audiobooks, that's a shame.

Backseat driving, always!! Grammaw, what long arms you have!

Ooh, working with the gosling will help you extend your reach!

Thanks SD I think our copyright laws say the author has to be dead 70 years and things depending on the family involvement. Sorry meant to works go into public domain 70 years after authors death

art are you out there you ok?

Google has the coolest widget today, my youngest made a symphony (her word not mine) as a gift.

It's like tenori-on i think they are called. Waaaaay cool

Grinding my teeth over Madame T today. I guess that means everything else must be all right.

Are you just picking freelance work atm Ce?

so far every CSM (customer service manager) has been rude to me. i was basically a CSM at my old job, except we were called bookkeepers and we did the CSM's job plus bookkeeping. i dont get why they have to be rude *****es. like i walked in with my shoe thingy , limping. i said hi umm im a new hire. she was like ok what did you do to your foot. i told her what happened and she freakin stared at me for 30 seconds straight, no blinking , so i stared back. like what the hell was that ? some intimidation tactic?

anyway i could not care less about this job or sucking up to these ladies, so they can get their head out of their *** and just be a regular human being .

hi granite thanks for thinking of me. I am doing well! I've been staying away from PC for a bit because t and I started the termination process not long ago and I guess I just needed to have a clear head about it all. I'd been spending way too much time reading stuff away from the couch and it was messing with my head y'know?

Anyway I came back on here tonight to post on the dear t thread so i wouldn't email t as a matter of fact... we had a bit of a train wreck of a session this evening, I got really frustrated with her and started acting out, really acting like a brat, oh well. Par for the course I guess. Leaving her is so very hard!! Especially after she told me that she had already started grieving the loss of 'us'. I told her I wasn't ready to do that yet. But she made me anyway and I reacted kinda badly. Sigh.

I think I'll hang around for a couple days and catch up with everybody....

Good to see you Art

Wtf? I don't know the company but do they go through a lot staff? I wonder why? Just clock on JD do the hours and collect your pay.

Wow! I just got a one off govt energy payment to help with rising costs of electricity of the princely sum of $75! That's a one-off payment not even an annual one- off payment.

Good morning
Good night

Hi Art! Been thinkin about your heat wave out there! Stay cool!
