Thursday #38 - Monkey Party

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Mmmmmmm, this 'rita is absolutely perfect Richard. Just 45 minutes to go for me then I'm free, I'm free, thank God almighty I'm free at last! Well, at least for the weekend.

And I can definitely relate to you two and the retirement thing.

Oop, now that's the kind of phone call I like! My boss just called and told me to quit playing games and go home. Nooooo problem! The only bad part about that is the reason he's letting me go early is because it's snowing and he says it's pretty bad out there. Doesn't seem to bad but I'll take his word for it.

See you all later!

PS - I'll continue the retirement thought when I get home.

Anybody around??? Looks like I get the "privilege" of working late tonight. Any chance for another round of Jose??

[G.P.girl]

I'm around! i want a PJ&J sandwich...you think i'd be sick of them after bringing that to school for the last week meh...anybody tried the Toffee Nut Latte from Starbucks?

[slick]

Sorry for the delay GP. Here's your sammie. Guess I'll just help myself to another round.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I'll have another round with you Slick. That 'rita Richard made me before was the best! I'm off to class now, but I'll be back in a bit to help you recuperate from your day that went to hell.

I'll have another DOTD. Put the next round on my tab. I don't think I'll ever get to retire. Gotta keep them puppies in food and vet bills.

What's everybody doing this weekend. I have it off and I'm going shopping for my PT giveaway. Me - in a pet store - a dangerous combination!! Lucky I don't have a large amount of cash.

[slick]

Hi Robin, Hi Debbie.

DOTD Done!

Pet shopping???? Yikes, I refuse to go in those stores otherwise I come out totally broke. Good luck. Come and sit by the fire. This weekend?? Well, looks like it's time to take my Christmas tree down Yes, it's been up all this time and the lights are sooo pretty and Speckles asked me to keep it up for another week, but the time as come. I want my living room back. Other than that I'll probably get some housecleaning done and some veggie shopping for the coming week. Exciting life eh??

Debbie: don't work too hard. We'll be here when you get back. There's another 'rita waiting for you but I'm afraid it won't be as tasty as Richard's.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh, before I leave, Robin you reminded me I was having a retirement thought before my boss told me to go home.

Terry is looking at retiring in 3 years. He'll be 60, I'll be 45. I've already started planning by taking these IT courses. I'm hoping I can find something I can do on the computer that doesn't require going to the office everyday. That way I can work from wherever we're at. It will require a big investment because we'll have to get satellite dish for high speed internet access, but it'll be worth it if I can actually make money doing something on the computer, online.

Terry signed up for this thing called Workamper News. There are all these campgrounds all over the country that'll give you a full-hook up site for free if you just work 20 hours a week for them. Most will even pay you a salary or hourly rate if you work more than 20 hours, so we've been looking into that too. I mean really, 20 hours a week is nothing! And I won't have to sit in a cave all day long like I do now. There is a campground in Malibu Beach looking for a couple to work - Terry says let's go!

So anyway, I guess what all this means, what I'm trying to say is we won't necessarily be "retiring," just changing careers. We already know whatever we're going to do it's going to be in the motorhome, we just gotta figure out a way to make a little money while bombing around the country. And the beauty of it is we won't need a lot of money. So I told him if all else fails, we pull in some place and park it for a month and work at McDonalds just to put some cash in our pockets. I've got experience at McD's, so they'd hire me in an instant! He's going to deliver car parts and I'm going to deliver flowers - how bad can it be?

Ok, now I'm off to class.

i'm trying to decide what to eat for dinner.....not much choice around here....bleh

[slick]

Well, I can go in the back and find something. I think there might be some nachos left over. How about I heat them up with all the fixin's

6:35pm here now so I'm heading home. Enjoy the nachos and I'll check in later tonight.

[G.P.girl]

hahahahahaaaaa i found frozen pizza! it's gormet dinner for me tonight!!

[slick]

Hey GP, I just got home and I get to have frozen pizza too!!!!! What shall we have to drink with it??

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I've heard a good bottle of two buck chuck goes well with frozen pizza....ya think?

Schools done for the night, all I have to do is take my weekly quiz yet, and that can wait until tomorrow. As I was doing my homework a thought struck me. I said to myself "Hey dummy, Slick works in IT, maybe she can relate to what you're doing in class." So we're working right now on User and Group ID's and permissions and all that happy cr*p. We are sort of touching on partitioning hard drives and volumes and that stuff, but I dont' quite get that - why would you do that?

Anyway, Slicks off for the weekend so I don't want to bore you with work stuff.

How 'bout another margarita. Slick, yours was yummy too! I'll definitely have another, but I think I better partake of one of those comfy chairs again. After another one of these things I don't know if I'm going to be able to stand up.

[slick]

Hi Debbie: you know great minds think alike. When I was driving home tonight I was thinking of you and was going to offer my assistance. Yes, I understand all that permission stuff. Feel free to email me any time and I'll see what I can do. What operating system are you working on. NT?? Win2K?? WinXP? Ooops, sorry, work talk again. Email me baby

another 'rita for you Done! Oh BTW, it's a double

While I was waiting for you to come home I was watching TV and it showed this weird guy on Vancouver Island that was a Folk Artist. What is that you say??? Well he proudly displayed what looks like a bird house with tacks all over it. He called it a Tacks Shelter
