Dog days of summer, Thursdays #118

**Tubby & Peanut's Mom** · 08-04-2005, 09:29 AM

'Morning everybody! I'm walking on air this morning! The boss has taken two whole days off!! Wooooo hoooo!!!! I was this close to quitting on Monday. He has just been totally insufferable lately and I'm not the only one around there that's almost to the end of my rope. So hopefully these two days will do him some good and he'll be back with a better attitude. Not likely....but I can hope can't I?

And in the meantime, two whole days to myself!! Wooo hoooo! Of course I've already had an emergency phone call to deal with

but now that that is out of the way, it should be smooth sailing the rest of the today and tomorrow.

Corinna, I got your postcard! How wonderful of you to think of us and how very very cool that you actually saw some mountain lions! We really must get up there soon!

I'm already half way into my morning coke, so I'll just say I hope everyone has a great day and I'll see you soon!

Morning everyone!

Going to be hot here too, around 100. I just want a huge cherry limeade and the cats need huge iced catnip teas. Too hot for food! (I cheated and had a mixed fruit and yogurt smoothie earlier)

Hi, Mario! I see you got your flowered shorts on today. On you, they look cool!

**Corinna** · 08-04-2005, 09:51 AM

You are quite welcome. I had the same situation at work and enough people quit and talked to the owner ,that my boss resigned. I feel bad becouse she had put so much in to the company,but had made it her life and thats not good. When you don't own it its just a job.
You really must get up here to see us.
I've just started my morning coke as I switched shifts with one of my staff so I could sleep in and she could go to a family BBQ. Might be the last one with her ex hubby as he has beaten cancer 3 times in the last 4 years . It just keeps coming up in different places.

Connie, Pittsburgh will tie the high temperature for this date at 93 degrees! The heat index will be close to 100. I have a FUN job in this heat, cutting what is left of the grass at the golf course! I can also go for a huge diet limeade myself, and iced Cnts for Nikki & Daisy! Uh, Mario? would you mind pulling up your shorts? Your diaper is showing! Nice shorts, though.

Howdie folks! Pay no attention to that itt-ish woman that ran through here in her jammies earlier, that was just your imagination caused by heat-stroke no doubt

Let's just stick with something cool and refreshing for knibbles this afternoon (morning? early evening?) depending on where you are. How about a nice big ring of cooled, peeled shrimp with some lobster salad in the middle. Fresh fruit salad? Hey Mario, how about if I turn on the sprinkler in the back yard and you and Possum can take turns running through it before playing in the kiddie pool! Your little flowered shorts look so cute... look how they match Possum's water wings

I think a nice margarita (with an umbrella of course) would really hit the spot.. thanky thanky

I've been enjoying a Starbucks coffee this afternoon - thanks Laura!!

But I really missed one of Slick's Bailey's to go with it!

Catland, I'll try to stay away from red wine today.

A cold Corona with Nacho's sounds perfect for now. I think it'll go well with my HOT Indian Curry.

Debbie, I hope it's not as humid in Chicago as it was when I was there, I could only smoke half a cigaret, then had to go inside!

The weather here is nothing to write about, I tell you .... I prefer California weather anytime!!

**Maya & Inka's mommy** · 08-04-2005, 12:58 PM

Not really hot here, 20°C; but, I am sooooooooooo thirsty. Since this is virtual, I'd love a big yummie strawberry milkshake

Yep, same weather as when you were here, although it's supposed to rain today and then cool off and have a drop in the humidity....for a whole two days before it gets hot again.

Beer and nachos sounds extremely yummy! Think I'll just go get me some.

Hello Thursdays... Know what Thursday means? Friday is tomorrow!
Except I just got home from work and Friday isn't going to be so easy! We're giving away a free breakfast item at work and i'm sure we'll be busy as heck!

Since I just got home from work, i'm all hot and need something to relax and cool off with... Something really icey, please! I had a yummy french vanilla iced coffee from Dunking Donuts this morning.

High of 97* today with 60% humidity.. not TOO bad. I'd still prefer it in the 70's or high 60's with a nice breeze.

After running back and forth between two different labs in this BEASTLY heat I need some chemist mobile phase, otherwise known as a run&coke with a slice of lime.

**davidpizzica** · 08-04-2005, 04:51 PM

It is HOT & HUMID in Pittsburgh! The official high temp is 93 degrees, but I passed a couple of gas stations that showed the temp at 99 degrees! This temp with the high humidity isn't a very safe combination. Could I have a BIG cherry slushie? It's even too hot to cook dinner.

**Oggyflute** · 08-04-2005, 07:03 PM

G'day everyone.

My sister and her husband have been visiting for a few days, and as much as that's good, they have just left and I've got my computer room back.

The kids can settle back into their routine as well.
Now did I hear someone mention Corona? One of those would hit the spot.

"What have you got there Possum?- Someone's pj's by the looks of things."

Good news on the job front. I'm meeting with a fellow who own's a pool shop franchise on Saturday to discuss terms of employment.

I could be working by Monday

Better have another Corona.

Thanks but as you can see from my last post I have had a whale of a summer. Isn't it supposed to be fun?
Can't wait for winter and rest.

**DJFyrewolf36** · 08-05-2005, 02:32 PM

Gosh...I'm late!!!

The office was getting a face lift, and I was without my computer for two days

! I never have time to stop in while I'm on the home computer (and my roomate is usually on it playing games anyhow...)

Hey there Mario!! Could you keep Remus and Spook company while I go get something with a bit of a kick? I could use something kind of strong...it's been a stressful week here at work!

Well TGIF, right? I'm heading off to a partee in California tomorow night! It should be fun

Hope everyone is having a good day!
