Since my temp assignment ended last Tuesday, I've been home BORED TO TEARS!!!!!! I've been calling places for jobs, applying on Careerbuilder.com (I won't go on Monster.com because it's a farce). The agency is trying to get me another assignment.
So, I'm offiicially calling today "Thursday". Hope you don't mind RICHARD, but...
I NEED A DRINK!!!!
Gosh Donna... I do alot of recruiting for my clients and I use Monster all the time. I get better response #s on there.
Maybe it is different in different parts of the country?
ME TOO!!!!Quote:

How's about I whip up a round of Irish Coffee's with Jameson's and whipped cream? I'm stuck in the lab...again! ;)

lololol,
I always have wondered what it's like on the 'other side' of the counter...
Number it and get a DOTD and it's your Thursday!!!
DONE!
I'd like a straight shot 'o mezcal!!! Please? :D
Mario,
wanna play pinball????
I will have. Problem is, lots of the shelves I want to bring are loaded down. I need to go through and see what to toss and what to keep and get rid of that before we can move them.Quote:

Gee whiz, Donna, according to my calendar it is only Tuesday night - and here you are pounding away on the door yelling OPEN UP!!!!
Richard usually leaves a key someplace logical - so let's look.
MOFF, don't over do it now........we want you to enjoy the new house - not collapse from overworking yourself.
Donna, find the key yet?
FOUND IT!!! Boy RICHARD, you did a great job stocking the bar. We've got a smorgasbord here!!!! WOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
I'll take one of each! I so do love these cyber-parties. Only place I can get drunk and stay sober at the same time!!
Irish Coffee and a raspberry scone sound good to me.
Sarah,
I NEVER had any luck whatsoever with Monster.com I always thought it was a gimmick because I never got any response at all.
I feel like 48 cents this morning, so....
Million Dollar Cocktail
INGREDIENTS:
1 oz gin
1 tsp sweet vermouth
1 tsp dry vermouth
1/2 cup pineapple juice
dash of egg white
dash of Angostura bitters
PREPARATION:
Pour the gin and vermouths into a shaker with ice cubes.
Add the pineapple juice and a dash of both the egg white and Angostura bitters.
Shake vigorously to froth up the egg white.
Strain into a chilled highball glass.
-------------------------
Raw egg white :eek: BLECH At least the egg won't explode ;) I think I'll stick to a dry white wine or a Bloody thank you anyway :o How about a nice massage Donna, ease those overworked muscles over here and let me see what I can do :)
I'd like to join in with whatever is being poured at the moment.
Moo - is there a craigslist for your city? go to www.craigslist.com and see if your city is listed. It is a very popular site here in Portland for job searches - lol - one day an employee here saw his position posted there - creating quite the dilemma - after all, how do you go to your employer and say "hey - I was looking for a job on company time today when I saw mine posted there :eek: :eek: )
Lbaker,
I'd LOVE a massage. The last time I had one was in Vermont years ago.
Thanks Catland, I'm going to try craigslist right now! I'll let you know how I make out.
I applied to the newspaper my Dad worked for for over 20 years. I "dropped" my Dad's name in my cover letter (he had an impeccable work record and was admired by alot of people there). They're looking for a secretary and baby, I'm IT!!!!!! ;)
Is this going to be thursday this week ,. I'll take a DLC I have to look for work next week too. Bummer.
Oh, oh, oh, me, me, I want a massage too! Can we have a "spa" Thursday where we all just relax around the pool and partake of massages, facials, scrubs and wraps? That would be sooo cool because it looks like we (me, mom mom, my aunt & Terry) won't be making out annual pilgrimage to the spa this year. They redid the hotel and more than doubled the price of everything. :( We always went on Easter weekend and I always really enjoyed just laying around with the most pressing thing on my mind being what time my next service was. I'm really going to miss it. :(
Not too sure about the DOTD so I think I'll stick with the good ol' standby - a pitcher of slushies please. That should loosen me up real good before my massage. :D
Wow, is it me or is this door getting heavier! Morning, everyone! I thought come in and open everything up. Orc's getting firewood and I've just cleaned the bar. Anyone up for fresh coffee??
Fresh coffee sounds purrfect David! My, it does look nice and tidy in here. It would appear helping out Moo with the house cleaning has rubbed off. Cool. I think some wonderous corn bread and, and... what? Thick sliced crispy bacon and, and.. what?
Q: What happens if the ground log sees its shadow?
A: We'll have six more weeks of splinters!
* OK OK, group groan*
Oh, Laurie! BACON!! lead me to it! Old Phil said six more weeks of winter again. Actually we had a really warm january, anyhow.
Fresh coffee sounds good to me David, thanks. Have time for a cup in front of the fire before I have to get the munchkin from school. Here Lady, have a puppy treat and I brought some cherries for Mario.Quote:

LOH, I kept the fire down to a low roar so that Lady doesn't get scared.Quote:

Corn bread and thick sliced bacon is all I need, Laurie - lots and lots of bacon! I love bacon and don't eat it near as much as I'd like to. Why is everything that tastes so good so bad for you? :(
If the six more weeks of winter is like the last 42 days, not a problem! Here in Chicago, we've been above "average" temps for the last 42 days - in the 30's and 40's everyday. However, it has been predicted that next week the temps will drop into the 20's during the day and teens to single digits at night - brrrr....we're not used to that kind of weather around here anymore! The good news is it's February 2 already and when it's not cloudy, it's actually light when I leave work again, which all means that spring is on the way!
Ok, back to my bacon and corn bread - yummy!!!
**sniff sniff**
MMMMM something smells might fine in here. I love bacon but don't eat it for the obvious reason. Believe it or not, I've never had cornbread. Have been tempted to make it sometime....just not sure what to do with the rest of it if I don't like it. Mind if I try a piece?
Good morning everyone! Work has been keeping me pretty busy but I hope today and tomorrow should be a bit easier.
Anyone up for Baileys? I'll make a batch if anyone wants some in their coffee.
Where is that Gini? Is she buried in tax forms still?? Hey Possum, why don't you take Lady and Mario and go and find her.
good morning all heres some Nice fresh huckleberry muffins (great with bacon) And a tub of nice real butter.
I'll take a DLC not feeling great need to pull it together by noon Daughter has ultrsound today hopefully will know what my grandbaby will be.
Ooooh yes please.......sipping ice cold vodka at the same time would be heavenQuote:

Wow Slick, can't eat bacon and never had corn bread :eek: :( That explains a lot. You are depraved because you're deprived :D ;) :p You are in cyberville my love, you can have anything you want within these cyber walls, but then you helped make the rules didn't you ;)
kiss kiss huggie's
Oh Lbaker, don't quit your day job!!! :p
I swear they should bind and gag Punxatony Phil (that little rodent) and take him on a nice loooooooooooong car (hey Davidp, care to volunteer YOUR car??) ride somewhere. I don't ever remember him seeing or not seeing his shadow (does he really have one???).
Got a drink to put someone in a good mood? Right now I need it!! :mad: I guess my Paxil isn't working today.
Hey Corinna, got any tips for job hunting? I've tried just about everything but groveling.

Sweetheart, I'll volunteer the Colbalt, there's a lot of them out there and it will blend in (if I take off all of the "go steelers" magnetic signs), and I'll get him LOST!Quote:

Mario, Lady, Possum......Help me drain the hot tub and get all your hair out!
DONE!
The way I job hunt is just like every one else . Just keep pestering the ones you really want. I'm concintrating on the bakery , video store, and deli's. Going to try the local groomer for bathing dogs. UNlike the rest of you I only need 20-30 hours a week just to pay my cell bill and car payment (only 2 left) and goof off money . I will most likely be baby sitting for my grandbaby when daughter goes back to work. I don't really have to work hubby makes enough but I started those 2 bills I want to take care of them . Plus i hate asking for money from him ,makes me feel like when I was a kid asking dad for money.YUCK I hated that.
Good luck to all job hunters and prayers you find the purrfect jobs.
I've been at my job almost 20 years and I still love it (most of the time :rolleyes: ). I started here as a temp through an agency. Many of my co-workers did also. Nothing wrong with that even if it doesn't end up being "the one". It's a little money in the account and shows you job skills you may not even be aware of. Good luck!
OH yes, spa day PLEASE!! I'm all over that one!
Slick? Never had cornbread? That's ok. I've actually never had a smore.
Anyone else? What's a "common" food you've never tried?
Happy Thursday everyone!
There's no common food that I know of that I have not tried - I even had a bite of haggis when I was in Scotland, and jellyfish tentacles when I was in China!
Okay, Tonya, if ever we met, I'll make you s'mores, made properly, of course!
And Slick, make yourself some cornbread! It's scrumptious, and if you don't like it, you can wait til it's stale and then break it up and feed it to the ducks/geese/whatever wildfowl you have thereabouts!
I now have food allergies, so there's some things I can no longer eat without getting sick, but other than that, I'm pretty culinarily adventurous - as are all ma's kids! :)
There are movies I've never seen that "everyone" has, like "It's a Wonderful Life," but that's another Thursday.

What do Jellyfish tentacles taste like, how are they served?
Nope, no peanut butter and jelly fish jokes..... :D
... tastes like chicken of course :rolleyes: Seriously (??) jellyfish mostly tastes like whatever sause you serve with it or cook it in. Plum sause, soy, peanut (whoa, there's your peanut butter and jelly fish joke, and I didn't even mean it :p )
But I have never eaten peanut butter....or jelly...or peanut butter and jelly. Ick.
