Is Thursdays open yet? I need coffee.
Hang on, I have a spare set of keys somewhere ... okay, we're in, and the coffee is brewing! Orc, wher's your remote - could use some help cleaning up a bit here ...
Karen, toss me Orc's remote. I'll get him to get this bar shipshape again! Is the coffee brewed? I'll have mine with Bailey's!Quote:

It's cold here today. Only almost 50. Quite a change from the almost 80s of a day or two ago. Some hot chocolate sounds good for me and the kids would love some catnip tea. :D
Hi, Mario!!!
Happy Thursday!!! :D
Good heavens! Thursdays have dwindled, and here I am, ready and waiting!!!! :o
This is a good day, in ways, because it is close to the end of the week! I have been having a pity party, though, and I need to snap out of it. Let's toast our new baby birds, ok? Champagne, please, bartender, whoever you are. :)
Logan
Logan, I'll be barkeep until RICHARD makes an appearance! I'll check and see if the L&F swallwed him up. Champagne all around to toast the new baby birds. Connie, hot chocolate and catnip teas being served.Quote:

A toast for the baby birdies!! Bartender another bottle of bubbly over here please.
Well, I'm always ready for champagne! I didn't realise we had baby birdies to celebrate! I don't make it out of the cat side often enough.
Babyboonie, if I'm not mistaken, you still owe us a joke. ;)
Is it too late? Oh that's right.. lots of you are in a different time zone. "what is time anyway... just another way ~ of passing the day" *now where the heck did THAT come from?" Just a bit ago returned from Dullas Airport picking up Ally Kat from Behrain with Cheryl (via Copenhagen I believe) Read all about it in Cat Rescue!! I could use a somethingorother to lay down and go to LA LA land. OH! Would that be Lost Angels??
L:);)K Again! :cool:Quote:

So, care to hear about my day?
background - a little over a year ago I started taking over new job responsibilites at work. It started to be overwhelming (that's what happens when you realize that you are doing the work of 1.5 people and they want to add more to your plate).... when last week I got up the courage to officially request an assistant....
so today - I was axed to leave. :eek: :eek: :eek:
When I looked at them and said - "am I fired as of now?", and they said yes - I walked out of the room. That was a pretty cool moment by the way.
They were forced to follow me back to my office as I was packing up my personal belongings - and get this, they were miffed that I wasn't giving them my undivided attention.
Fortunately their guilt made them give me some severance pay so it wasn't a total kick in the behind on my way out.
My problem - I'm not a suit - I'm more connected to the working people - and some of them were in tears as I left. That made me feel really good - not that they were in tears - but that they cared so much.
so long story short, for the next 24 hours - all drinks at Thursdays are on me!
Verrrrryyy late getting here - but at least on the left coast it is still Thursday.
Karen, thanks for opening up the bar..............you know good help is hard to find.
Which makes me think of Catland...........well, they won't realize what they have done until you are gone for a while..............whadda ya mean we need TWO people to do her job?????
One door slams - another flings wide open - oh look - a good job in my future - what? with a raise in pay? Hmmm, why didn't I leave sooner???
Thanks for the drink Catland, how about my buying you one.
Let's celebrate Ally arriving on U.S. soil - to loving Pet Talker's who have talked sweetly to her - and already rubbed off all of her fur while petting her.
Four years plus one week - and here we all are - isn't it grand?
Gotta go check out these birdies now - I haven't had much PT time lately.
xxoo to you all.
Catland, very sorry for your prediacament. I hope you can find another job soon. And that round of drinks was very nice, indeed.
Duke and Gini, round of drinks - DONE.
(and thanks for the one back Gini :D ).
yes Gini, I do see this as an opportunity - Its a little scary, but fortunately we're not the types to live beyond our means so we can hunker down for a while and do ok.
Now here's what is really funny. My last couple of months were really stressful because I converted to a new payroll system with a new vendor. It was a very big undertaking and I wasn't 100% done yet. All I wanted was a part time person to help manage things. They weren't even smart enough to allow me to train an assistant before canning me. Who wants to work for idiots like that anyway?
Its early, but I'll fire up some coffee and get some breakfast cooking. Hey, its not like I've got anything better to do at the moment :rolleyes:
Excellent breakfast Catland! I hope a good job comes along for you very soon.
CL.
I had the same thing ahppen to me, as far as the "Clean ut the Desk" routine goes.
I really pissed off the security guead by holding up individual objects and saying, "O.K.?", "Not O.K.?"
AHs is all they are-
P.S.-
Find a great picture of yourself kicking back and send it to them with a note-
"I deciced to to take al little vacation....."
You can sleep in now...THat freaks out the cats.... :eek:
DDM...
Drink?
Gini,
Yep other doors open....
Coffee? done!
C&S,
Always two cakes......I was always second billing on all my cakes. :eek:
Gotta celebrate individually! :D
LB
the way things have been lately, the world is LaLa land! :eek:
Drink? DONE!
KK,
THanks for being the "Joke Police" CHampagne?
DONE!
Slick.
Champagne?

Davied..
THanks for the hand....
I needed it.
DONE!
Logna,
Time to snap outta it..youare among friends!
What kind of gifts do you take to a PP? ANd how do you wrap up a bunch of goofy bar partons?
DONE!
HI
BB?
WHat is your poison.
MOFF,
Here I go again with my apparent stupidity.
LOLOL I always turn off the computer-all the way off...
So youmean that the computer has to be on all the tiime to keep the connection?
Like DUH!...
I feel so stupid!
DUMB! :D
Thanks for getting the Orc to clean up..I always pick up the Big Screen remote and forget..
I'll take a cup of coffee please?
Done!
CM,
Psssttt, if you can't find anyone with a key you can try to open the Lost and Found window....but I do not suggest it! :eek:
MY joke to get back into everyone's good graces???
Why can't a chicken coop have four doors?
Because then it would be a sedan....
DONE
What about some Maryland Beaten Biscuits to go with the coffee? We can all take turns whacking the dough with the mallet and don't even have to tell who we are whacking in our minds. Is that where the expression "whacked out" came from :confused: ;) Good morning everyone ~ yawn
:D Good One lbaker.. I am still laughing.. Perfect thoughts here.. Come on all & lets get to beaten those Maryland Biscuits.. Let the frustrations go with the flow.. Richard I need my Long Island Tea please with a touch of some fruit in it.. Mario stop it - lbaker said nothing about throwing the Biscuits.. :p And no Mario you can not stomp the beaten biscuits.. :DQuote:

Can I get an order of Scotch, strictly for medicinal reasons of course! It helps keep the germs at bay, and i'm just at the tail end of this nasty cold/flu i've had for 2 weeks
Julie: So sorry to hear about the job but everything happens for a reason. There's something out there for you that is more fulfilling, less stressful and actual pays you what you are worth. Keep us posted, OK??
So does mean no more buying wine-coloured pants??? :D Sorry, couldn't resist...Quote:

Good morning everyone! Would love to say it's a sunny day but au contrair (sp?).....dark, windy and rainy. A round of drinks for house on my tab please Richard. Good news about Ally!
Hey Twisted Sister!!!!! **waves**
I'll check back with you all later.
**waves back with silly grin** HEY Slickster.. try to stay warm and dry. It's nasty here today too but supposed to be warm and sunny for the weekend - how nice for a change!!
YAWN..............
What the heck are you all beating in the kitchen? Is it alive? Will it hurt us?
Did I tell you all that I planted some salad tomatoes out in the back. They are in pots on the deck. They are called Sweet 100's. I've never grown this type before. When summer arrives we will have tons of them for our salads.
Richard - you were up early -
Catland, I hope you do sleep in with your kitties and that you do enjoy the time off.
I really need some coffee, but I am not going into the kitchen for anything.
LB is thrashing around in there - I hope she is alright. She keeps yelling
Yee Haw and then whacks something.............is this normal behavior?
Should I worry?
Hi again everyone.
ooh - tomatoes sound good. Did you get Vinnie to prepare the dirt for you?
BF - one medicinal scotch - done.
thanks for the good wishes everyone. I feel so lucky to have a place like this to unwind.
Normal behavior as compared to what Gini? Normal for me or "normal" people? Is anybody here at Thursdays really [quote]normal[unquote] ;) :D I love warmed by the sun 'mater sammiches. Whew, my arms are tired from all that biscuit whacking ~ can someone fix me some iced coffee or tea puleeese?
Reminds me of the time I had to disturb a client on vacation to e-mail them some documents for a real estate matter we were handling. I know I shouldn't laugh, but they didn't know that you can get e-mail elsewhere even if your computer at home is turned off. I was gentle in explaining the wonders of the Internet to them :DQuote:

Everyone seems a bit down today. So, I hope Willie doesn't mind, I thought I'd post a couple of my favorite Mario pictures to make you all grin. He's into the blueberries of course!!!
I watched the movie Night at the Museum yesterday. That monkey Dexter, is a Mario for sure!!! :D

Where's the bar-tender!!! :rolleyes:
So it's lunchtime here and I've got a hankering for some onion rings. MOFF???? How about you wipe that blueberry gunk off Mario face and we go and make us up batch???? Then after we eat we can start on that birthday cake. Oh Gini will be so excited!!!!
**slaps hand on mouth** Oh, oh I think I spilled the beans!!! :o
Sounds good to me!!!Quote:

:D I could be rice-a-roni's relative. OK, now we're being just plain silly....but isn't that was Thurday's is all about? At least we've cleaned ourselves up from a few years ago. Remember the "unmentionables" hanging from the rafters and Mario swinging from chandlier?? :DQuote:

Mario looks SO cute in those pics!
I think I'll switch to blueberry tea for the afternoon shift.
Perhaps I should have said underpants, knickers, whatever....as I know you call trousers, pants ?? Would that have made it more funny?!
Plus - it's nearly 10pm here...so can I be forgiven coz it's been a long week and nearly time for bed????
Just gotta say this.... if life deals you lemons, make lemonade; if it deals you tomatoes, make Bloody Marys!
Can I have some onion rings with that, please?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
:D :D :DQuote:
