MOOvin' Along - Goog Times, Goog Friends . . . Part 3

I thought I would share this fascinating email I found in my work email today. You're welcome!

FYI,
This is the game plan to help maintain the dumpster area. I have to say, today when I came in the dumpster area was looking very good.

I am including our notes from the meeting regarding new practices for keeping our dumpster pad clean.
We came up with a new time plan in order to better maintain the pad:
Time Team responsible for cleaning
7AM - Convention
1PM - Custodial
9PM - Hotel Stewarding
On top of Custodial's Saturday pressure washing they will be adding in an additional day. They will now be pressure washing on Wednesday and will include around the dumpster pad on both days. Previous pressure washing was dock not including around the pad. On Wednesday and Saturday Convention and Custodial will switch on cleaning times.
We talked about a need for a high pressure hose system (much like theme parks have for third shift cleanings). Talked to engineering and there is a total cost of $3,000 involved for installation.
We talked about adding a 2nd dumpster but determined the additional cost of the machine may not be in our best interest at this time. Communication between shifts will be needed for when the dumpster is removed at end of one shift.
We discussed the need to contact engineering for property control items to get them across the street as soon as possible.
Thank you everyone for being in attendance and we look forward to improving the pad.
Thanks,
Lee

I actually bought something at victoria's secret on Friday.
first time ever.
well, to buy clothes there.
guess what I got?
well, first, they have NO XL there in anything cute.
But the L fits me.
(Can you believe it?)

Ok.
So I got Giselle panties.

You know in Enchanted when Giselle makes a dress out of the teal curtains?
Well, I found a pair of panties that are that same shade with flowers on them.
and they were 2.99.
I'm a pretty pretty princess!
Yay!

Well, I don't know Bonnie, as I am not in the office today. But I will report on the state of the dumpster pad in the future if anyone cares. I pass it several times on a daily basis!

Several hours after lunch, at reception area for Chef Mickey's surrounded by 100's of screaming kids, worn out/ticked off parents all willing to spend $132 (for two adults and three kids) plus a 20% tip and $40 for two family pictures in front of a very large plate, cold food and several characters far too busy to do anything but take a quick picture and sign an illegible autograph (smeared with ketchup from the hotdog buffet)....

Guest: Miss, we have stood in line for 45 minutes, we have ADRs and want to be seated at one of the 15 vacant tables.

TZ: (looking longingly at her phone) I'm sorry, I'll have to check the computer to verify your ADR.

Guest: You've already done that.

EB: In what name is the ADR booked? (the muffled sound of "Endless Love" is heard from inside WV's front pocket)

Guest: Granger.

FR: I'm sorry, this is a very important message, you'll have to wait.

Guest: OK.

RC: (reading a text from BBN)

WQ: (typing a text to BBN)

Guest: Could we be seated now?

TM: I'm sorry. Do you have ADRs?

Guest: Yes, I have told you thee times that we did.

YB: What name are the ADRs made in?

Guest: I've told you three times, GRANGER.

WS: How do you spell that? (the muffled sound of "Endless Love" can be heard emanating from SD's front pocket) I'm sorry, you'll have to wait. This will only take a minute.

Guest: Can't that wait?

DT: (reading a text from BBN)

EW: (sending a text to BBN)

TA: How can I help you?

Guest: I want a table for me, my wife and three starving kids. You have made us wait for over an hour while you text message on your cell phone. Give me my table, NOW.

RD: Do you have ADRs?

Guest: YES, we do.

YB: What name are the ADRs made in?

Guest: Granger.

QF: Granger, got it. How do you spell that?

Thanks Cel, Twink and Pumba! I am really enjoying a day of total downtime. I am still here on the couch (as God intended...right, Marita?)
I contemplated folding the laundry that has been in the dryer since Friday, but just couldn't summon the energy. So I made another latte and went straight back to the couch!

Boris and Natasha are playing upstairs, and DH and I are watching some previously DVR'd shows.

Whew! This bum-laying is hard work.

Amen! The only way to do it, my bum-laying sistah!! It's your day after all!
I am following your lead!

So young, and so smart already at playing this game the right way. I am PROUD of you!

Whew! This bum-laying is hard work.

Unfortunalely, I need to actually do some laundry today, or I will have nothing to wear to work this week

What wonderful memories you are creating for your children. What a "Norman Rockwell" moment. Hurry, take a picture. You drinking a double latte on the couch still in your sleeping attire. Kids upstairs babysitting themselves with the TV set. These are the times your children will cherish for the rest of their days.

Read back, WT. I said that Boris and Natasha are playing. DH and I are watching TV. Duh. Your skimming skillz obviously need work.

And yes, I do occasionally let me children play on their own. Don't want to be one of those hovering "helicopter parents" everyone is squawking about these days. Harumph.

Usually people read palms, not backs. Maybe that is the way they do it in New England. In either event I have no interest in reading your back. (or your front for that matter)

Ha! Except PJ's ringtone for me is not "Endless Love". It is "How Do I Live Without You." duh.

 

[UtahMama]

HEY!

Woo HOootys to Nab and Bonnee!

Belated Birthday wishes to Lynette! (Insert super cool cyber gift of your choice here)

COOL soap opera!

Funny joke, Kay!!!!!!

YAY on the princess (NOT size XL!!!!!!) panties

and

the old grumpy lady flannel pj's (I wanted the lips/kiss print ones!) not worn in seductive knot with the waist-band rolled dangerously low...






Did Peej re-post the Ariel picture? CRAP! If she did, I missed it. I've been sleeping off a cold-medicine hangover (Robitussin makes me hallucinate spiders) and now have a double ear infection in addition to the COUGH that makes my voice sound exactly like ROZ on Monsters Inc. YES I'm finally going to go to the DR. but I need a $20 co-pay first . I think I need antibiotics and a triple lung transplant.

 

[celerystalker]

Prayers and pixie dust sent for the TRIPLE (she's so cool, she needs three of em) lung transplant!

Hi Moovers,
Chat was fun last night. My car problems I mentioned turned out to be the cheapest possible solution. I went on line to price starters this morning and found a blog that described my starter problems and said it was likely a short circuited battery. Then I found a 10% off coupon on batteries at Advanced Auto, the nearest place to my house. Then it was cheaper than the web site said. Car is fine now. Computer is whizzing along as well.
Heading to N'awlins tomorrow or Wed. Will give a brief trippie upon return.

Thanks, Cel!
I actually hope it doesn't come down to driving which would rob me of two whole days. (I can't drive all night like some folks.)
SW has not released schedules/fares for September yet so I'm hoping I'll find something a little more reasonable there since they fly out of Loo-uh-vull.

Last year the best ding all year was 40 bucks each way to Orlando from Columbus, O. How can it be 13 hours from Lex and only 11 from BG. You're right on I-75. Of course, I've never done it with kids.

Thanks to the new PJ Chronicles, the mystery of BDG is solved:

That reminded me of Lum 'n Abner, the old radio show. There was a character that got amnesia. He figured he'd sown his name in his undies. When it said BVD he figured his name was Buster V. Davenport. This was around 1940, long before Calvin Klein.

 

[UtahMama]

Duck was in chat? Dangitall I missed it.

I did like the other pirate flag a-la-Twinkee...funny!

Cel-eree- thanks for the pixie dust and prayers. I needed that.

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day, y'all! I'm celebrating by doing nothing too. My DH is lucky enough to have the kids alllll to himself, whilst I rest and recoup and hack. It's fair... I get them 99% of the time. I'm allowed to be sick. I deserve to rest. WHY do I feel the need to feel so guilty then? The kids are fed, clean, occupied, etc.

Doritos and Mtn. Dew is a balanced breakfast.

 

[NAB]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYNETTE!!!!

Because I drive like a granny, that's why! Actually took me 15 hours on the way down thanks to Friday rush hour in Atlanta and a monsoon south of Macon.

If DSIL goes with me I would have to do all the driving because she has anxiety attacks while driving on the highway. But. DBIL does have a snazzy new Mercedes SUV that would be purrrrfect for the drive. We'll see.

Glad your car is good as new! Have fun in New Orleans!
