It was 86 here today. Anything over 79 and I'm not happy. We spent most of the day cleaning out the office where the one window AC unit is. Productive, but dull. It's time to stop and watch a DVD.
Plus, I took the arms off my chair per my Chiro's orders and now it won't sit up straight. I've got an office lounge chair. I'm not sure that's what she had in mind.

Today was the first hot day in Phoenix for the summer months - 113. Don't know if that's official, but that's what the car thermometer said. The only time the heat really bugs me is getting in the car after it's been sitting in the sun, because it gets to about 150 inside.

This works best if one has blinds. That close.

Last night, we were eating a snack while watching TV when suddenly hubby yelled "OMG!" -- at first I thought he'd dripped salsa on the couch, but realized that that probably wouldn't have made him actually yell. I noticed that he was looking at the floor, so I leaned over to see, and there was my Mexican Red-Knee Tarantula ambling innocently along across the living room carpet!
He was easily caught and returned to his enclosure. Hubby told me later that his first thought upon seeing him was actually "I sure hope that's one of ours." :D

Just think The Cure's Lullaby
on candystripe legs the spiderman comes
softly through the shadow of the evening sun
stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
looking for the victim shivering in bed
searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
suddenly!
a movement in the corner of the room!
and there is nothing i can do
when i realise with fright
that the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!
quietly he laughs and shaking his head
creeps closer now
closer to the foot of the bed
and softer than shadow and quicker than flies
his arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
"be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
don't struggle like that or i will only love you more
for it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
the spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"
and i feel like i'm being eaten
by a thousand million shivering furry holes
and i know that in the morning i will wake up
in the shivering cold
and the spiderman is always hungry...
"and i feel like i'm being eaten by a thousand million shivering furry holes" - Gotta by one of my favorite rock lyrics EVER!!

That sort of thing irks the snot out of me. When I was still doing retail, I was an asst.manager at a plus size women's clothing store. The other asst. would call me almost every time she closed to talk her through one part of closing or the other. I finally told her that I was not the one she needed to be calling, that was why the store manager was on salary. She finally stopped after I reported her.
David's work tried to pull that on him, too. They would call his personal cell (that I pay for) when they needed to reach him out in the field. When he stopped answering it they decided it was time to get him a company cell.

First our receptionist sent out an email to the entire company asking for them by the request of HR. I ignored it. Now the new sub-department head sent one out asking for ours. I know that one is going to be followed up on. I'm trying to think of the most polite way to say "I'm sorry, first, I don't get paid to be on-call and last time I checked, the company does not pay for my cell phone. No, you cannot have it". So far replying with "Sorry, it's for personal use only" has been suggested.
And I don't mind being called if I'm out of the office and they need something. A few of my co-workers have my number for that reason. But I know that they only call me when I'm the only one who can answer the question, it's so rare when they do and I'm usually just out of the office for part of the day. Giving out my cell number like that will result in weekend and horrid hour phone calls.

I just got in from my last cig of the night... I am totally creeped out. First, when I flipped on the lights this huge assed bug flew up at one of the lights. At first I thought it was just a june bug. Nope, bigger than that, with funky wingish things on its anntena. While I was trying to figure out what it was I heard this horrid noise coming from one of David's "junk" piles. At first it sounded like the air compressor had a leak, but wrong part of the patio. So I went in for a closer look. It was the same type of bug...in a widow web. the noise was the bug under attack from a huge assed widow. I had just sprayed that area and already killed one over there, this one was much bigger than the first. Now both bug and widow are d.e.d. For good measure I killed the first bug too. It almost looked like a potato bug. ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I am sososoooo sick of finding widows everywhere!! At work I am averaging 3 a day in the warehouse (today was 5, until I stuck my hand in a web and the number went up).

I am suffering sympathy gross-outs for you, MG.
I am also suffering serious owie-ness in my legs from an impromptu game of baseball yesterday. We (a friend and her family) were challenged to a game by another family, and I haven't played in a very long time. We won, but I learned some valuable lessons: Sports bras are a very good thing when running. Birkenstocks are not. And quitting smoking was a good thing, because for the first time I noticed I could actually run and experience muscle fatigue before hyperventilation.

The police are making their annual "give us money" telemarketing charity thingy. I used to be able to politely get them off the phone with a "I'm sorry, but that's just not in my budget this year," but I guess they're wise to that by now.
He tried to get $35, but that wasn't in my budget, so he "just wanted to get everyone involved at a level they were comfortable with," so told me I could donate just $10. He seemed sympathetic that my finances were tight, but then told me that school would be starting up again soon, and that they needed money in their scholarship fund because so many of these kids had lost their parents--some of them both parents!
I guess the "I'm not interested, thank you" followed by a quick hang-up is the best response to these calls. I like to be polite, but sheesh...

Chain it down if you're going to be putting it out front. A kid I knew in elementary school said her dad put a park bench on their front porch one day, and by the next morning, it was gone.

Just because an item seems silly heavy doesn't mean you can't invert and mount it to a ceiling - you just have to be careful to design proper mounting (which is the real tough part, even harder than the initial move into place).

And did you know that Zarqawi is still dead?
Bleh. Double bleh. And triple dog bleh.

I think we're all on the same page. Being an asshole is just boring, and those are some of the most boring people around.
Zarqarwi is still dead, GC- and still an asshole.

I have an all day meeting today. Totally sucks. Anyway one of the speakers really bugs. He treats all the males in the room like adults and then when a female asks a question he keeps saying stuff like, "Wow, that's a really good question. Very good." or "I like the way your mind works. Excellent question. Really." Like he's their patronizing father or something. It's subtle but it really bugs. He doesn't preface and of his responses with "us guys" it's more direct and to the point like the way a coach would answer one of his football players' questions.
Bleh. :rolleyes:

So after passing up fun times on Saturday night so I'd be sure to be rested up in order to write a decent paper that was due on Tuesday, I find out the teacher is accepting late work and not marking off for it.
And...
I have to pick between being a responsible adult and going to my school meeting or going to watch the hockey game tonight.

I already do most of the cooking. Did I ever mention that I'm the luckiest woman alive?
I work an hour later than he does so he usually shops and cooks. I'm trying to keep up my end by cleaning.
Every now and then I cook, if only to throw in my favorites ;)

We have a similar situation. Matthew generally works until 10 so I take care of the dinner. Now, if I could just get him to clean. :) j/k

My husband hasn't set foot in a grocery store in at least a decade. When I had to go to my Grandpas funeral and was gone for a week, he mostly ate what I'd frozen for him or went out to eat. But when the cats ran out of food he actually called my girlfriend to go get cat food for them:rolleyes:

I think Cirque's husband and mine must have been separated at birth. Why is it some guys can be so good at domestic things, and others not? Because they're mommy's did it all for them? My sis has a husband who is an awesome cook- but you cannot trust him with any recipes that you want to remain simple- he'll try to dude them up with basalmic vinegar or pressed garlic. The worst time was when he was asssigned the green beans for a get-together. The recipe is green beans mixed with sauteed bacon and onion- very simple, right? Well, he decided to dump some horrible cooking sherry in the sautee, and the beans tasted like they'd been laced with dirty sock juice.

Wendy, I'm so sorry to hear you have a husband like mine, it's truly painful some days isn't it!
He's even called me from Boston this week to ask where he should go to eat! I gave him the list from GC before he left but apparently he either can't read any more or has lost it in his small hotel room:rolleyes:
My son and I made strawberry jam today. He had to talk to every strawberry before he handed it to me to be cleaned and cut. It took forever to make four batches of jam!!

I fear for our animals while we are gone- he's pretty good at taking care of the dog, mainly because she hurls her very heavy dish at your toes when she wants something- but the fish and birds may be toast. The cats will be all right, as I've got feeders for them, but I know we'll have to call every day to remind him to check on ALL the animals.

When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy..
One thanksgiving morning my grandfather took me to the grocery store to pickup some forgotten cranberries. "Moonie" he said "The secret of going to the grocery store is to always bring back the wrong thing. If she asks for canned peas bring back canned pears. That way she'll eventually stop asking you to go".
"But grandfather, then why are we at the grocery store?" I replied. Upon reflection, I think that was the moment my Grandfather realized I was a lost cause to his way of life.
So GD, ya wanna swap recipes?

That was Eric's trick. He worked at a grocery store for nearly twelve years and I did all the shopping because if I asked him to, it was a guarantee that he'd bring home all the wrong stuff. He's better about it now, but I seldom ask him to stop at the store anymore.

So.
I'm annoyed I'm not getting my own special farewell party from the teachers. They made today a "special treat day" for everyone that's leaving (a few teachers are getting transferred). We do damn treat days all the time...I'm not here early enough for the social aspect...the others that are leaving have been here only a year and I've been here 5.5 ...the treats weren't even that good!....wah wah whine I want my own party or something. It's especially annoying because it's tearing me apart to think I won't be back here in the fall.
I am going to the year-end party so maybe I'll eat my words when they present me with some huge going-away gift. That's why I'm posting - I really hope I have to eat these words.

All that fuss and worry - copyright was an A-. It wasn't the A I wanted, but it's way better than the last time I was waiting on one last grade and it turned out to be a C. And this spring was by far my best semester grade-wise. So that's something.

I'm so excited and proud of you!! I know how worried you were- but there was noway you were gettin' a bad grade! You're too smart, my friend. Look at the very brilliant advice you gave me (and you know what I mean, jellybean.. ;))

Yes, I thought so. :D
At least I'm continuing to do well in the intellectual property track. I'm hoping to actually complete the whole focal area. I'm not sure what happens to people who complete one of the optional focal areas. Maybe we get a gold star or something.
