So, remember awhile ago when I wrote that it might be time to look into replacing White Dog (my beloved MacBook)? I think it was around Memorial Day, when Gene and I drove downy to the Apple store to let the Genius Bar take a look. I was flipping out again about the power cord….
The stuff I forgot to write yesterday
1) The word “stuff” makes me think of the word “stuf” as in Double Stuf Oreos. Mmm. I have also tried the Trader Joes version, the Joe-Joe, which is also good. I wonder if I can talk Gene into making a return trip to Trader Joes on Saturday after we drop the dogs at the…
No gnus is good gnus
(Surely I’ve used that blog title post before?) So. The latest: Work, work, work, work. I dream about work sometimes and I’ve come to the realization that sometimes working off the clock is OK if it means that I can feel some peace. I have a list of four or five really huge tasks that…
Lament…
Remember a couple years ago when I wrote about the song I wrote that went (basically) “I don’t want to go to work today, I want to sit on my ass and play, I don’t want to go to work today, ’cause yesterday was pay day and it’s all downhill from there! Hey!” (No, it’s…
Fine, I GET IT…
So, I bought another fancy and cute WordPress theme today for the blog. Perhaps you noticed it in the last few hours? It’s OK if you didn’t as you would probably be confused because 1) It said my blog’s name is Your Blog Name Here 2) The directions from the people I purchased this theme…
Dear Target: Keep your 5%
A few weeks ago, in the interest of saving money, Gene and I hit upon the idea of doing the grocery shopping at Super Target. It worked out really well, we saved a little money, and of course, as a red-blooded middle class American woman I am required to tithe weekly at Target anyway. On…
yello…
So, I passed my Incredibly Hard Payroll test (did I tell you? It was incredibly hard). And now…ummm… I kinda don’t want to do payroll anymore. (Have I ever talked about how much I dislike that phrase, ‘do payroll’? It just sounds so ignorant, like there aren’t another 10,000 verbs that might be more descriptive…such…
Testing, testing, 1, 2, 325…
Yes! Yesterday I took my exam for the Super Hard Payroll Certification. I was given 4 hours to take the exam and about midway through, I thought, “Well, this isn’t going well…”. I was able to mark any question I wanted as “Review Later” and I marked at least a quarter of the questions. After…
Revenge for Little LaineyD
You know what’s rewarding (in a “crazy sociopath” way)? Finding the Wikipedia page for the girl who was annoying in elementary school, a ‘mean girl’ in junior high, and (a) practically perfect (gigantic bitch) and editing it to remove the really self congratulatory stuff.
Updates…
Took Scooby to the vet this morning. They think that him scratching himself so much (from his allergies) has given him a little infection, so I walked out of there with an antibiotic and prednisone. So yes, Scooby will be on Prednisone. I expect that by Monday he’ll be up all night vacuuming. It’s about…
