Team Focker Watch, Part 12. Have we jumped the shark yet?

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Hey guys! Don't think I have checked in here in nearly two weeks!

Things are still going well up here. Only a month and a bit left of the semester, time is just flying by!

I was in the school library today studying and this woman sat down at the desk next to mine and then started coughing and hacking up a storm. It was the nastiest phlegmy sounding cough I had ever heard. I was cringing thinking of all the germs that she was spreading. Hopefully none of them spread to me! It annoyed me as well as the school has clearly stated given the current state of affairs that if you are sick to stay home and they will work with you to make sure that you do not miss anything and that there are no penalties for a missed test/assignment. They are being incredibly accommodating yet people are still coming to the college and spreading their germs when they are clearly ill! My program of 75 people has 16 out sick right now!

JANET said Jimmy had a good time at Halloween. Pic of him post #1268,
I love that Wolverine costume. So were people using your desk while you were gone? And they didn't take care of things? That jest ain't fittin'!

That was just the wiping down and disinfecting. I dint' even get through all the work that was left untouched

PSSST!

Hey, you're not evil if you were making steaks!

I'm having a lovely chat with one of your girls right now on FB!

 

[englishrose47]

Good Morning !!! I a OFF today !! I have a doctor appointmentin a few and then am FREE!!!!! I have a Bedroom that is calling me "CLEAN" and astack of bills to wade thu!!!

 

[PrincessV]

I went back to check out the cool costumes!

I just did, too - great job everybody - so many cutie-patooties!

I threw the idea out to Murph that maybe we check a single bag between us. She wants to bring home Gluewine from Germany and she has to check a bag for that. Makes me nervous having that in a bag with all my stuff, what if the bottle or bottles breaks.

This terrifies me!

Speaking of...Murph still is not great, gets tired easily.

I owe you an update Mo - I'll email later!

It was a gorgeous day so I decided to get all the leaves burned and mowed. Yes, I said mowed. I'm not going to spend 4 hrs raking 2 acres of leaves.

Brilliant!

I was in the school library today studying and this woman sat down at the desk next to mine and then started coughing and hacking up a storm.

OMG, WDW was like that everywhere!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Morning! I'm still getting caught up, but there's some progress. Last night, I had no hot water. It was the last straw - I FREAKED out. Took a Xanax and cried myself to sleep, then woke around 5am thinking "Check the circuit breaker." Sure enough, something tripped the hot water tank's circuit breaker.

I made the very grown-up decision to cancel Leo's and my riding lessons for a while. Still no child support coming and I can't continue to run a deficit.

Who knows when I'll get to an actual TR update on the weekend, so here's my Halloween pic:

 

[jcc0621]

V - So glad it was only the circuit breaker.

Sorry about the riding lessons!

Love Leo as a cowboy. He even has the pose down

 

[DisneyJo]

I'm having a lovely chat with one of your girls right now on FB!

Really? Which one? I have chat off line so if you ever want too chat email/PM me

Good Morning !!! I a OFF today !! I have a doctor appointmentin a few and then am FREE!!!!! I have a Bedroom that is calling me "CLEAN" and astack of bills to wade thu!!!

Enjoy Rosie, you deserve it

Glad it was easily fixed, sorry about the riding lessons and Leo looks very cute


The girls went off to the pool only to return about 20 mins later, the fitness pool was open but the fun one was shut They didn't want to swim laps so came home We've also had the hardest rain ever, the garage roof even leaked I did notice the gutter was blocked so after it finished had a look and there was a tennis ball stuck in it so hopefully that's what caused the leak and it's now fixed

Ellie! Will do.

Can't blame them!

I hope that's all, too.

*****************************************************
So, I was kind of hanging around, waiting to see if Comcast would call me. Ever since that new box, we've had a weird issue with just one of the On Demand channels, but it's Nick and would have been helpful with a kid home on the couch all weekend. Anyway, it was my understanding that they'd try to fix it remotely, then, if it didn't work, they'd call and come over today between 11-1. I have the chat saved, and she says Tuesday, Nov. 3.

No call, so I called the 800 number. An automated voice, after verifying my acc't number, has said I have an appointment from 11-1 on Nov. 4th. It's fine - I will probably be around tomorrow anyway - but it's just really annoying. However, I don't want to go through rescheduling.

Anyway, that means I should probably get my act in gear and do some more book fair copying today, which means I need to move, now. Sigh.

OK, off to do stuff! Back later!

 

[TEminnie]

V--sorry about your riding lessons--but you can always pick them back up and you'll still remember what to do!
Cute little cowboy!

CE--sorry about the cable company---reminds me of a Janet Evanovich book (Plum series)---guy waits for 6 months for cable company and won't leave house cause as soon as you leave, they show up, then they won't fix your cable! (gotta read the book!)



Rosie---wow, we don't have to evacuate our residents--we just shut all the fire doors. Last week they were "testing" the fire drill for 3.5 hours--beep beep beep....the folks on the dementia unit were cursing---both staff and residents!

kids outta school

DID U VOTE??

I have, that's a funny one!

DID U VOTE??

No, but I will go vote on my one thing. I really wish I was kidding that it was only the one, but I'm not...

*****************************************************
So I just called into the school to see if our latest was "approved for distribution" and found out that my co-chair, bless her, only took in one thing for approval, but we have two things going out that are getting stapled together. So, I've just shot an e-mail to the secretary, and hopefully that can get approved quickly so that I can at least have the copy machine collate for me, if not staple.

She's been heavy on the creative side, I've been doing the organizing, etc. so it's fine that she didn't think of it, but I don't want to have to wait until tomorrow to copy, so that we can really get these out on Thursday.

 

[jcc0621]

Hey all! Crazy busy at work, but just wanted to po in and say hi...so hi

Hope all the sick kids are feeling better

Went to vote this morning (jimmy was coming with me). Polls were supposed to open at 7am. Got therre at 7:10am and they weren't ready Told them I may or may not be back and I think I am going to call the Board of elections and complain

TE This all came about because 2 residents died in a fire !! The State has as usual gone overboard with precautions !!! Whilst someI can see .if ya know what caused the alarm to go off and KNOW nothing is on fire ,it just seems sooo unfair to make them sit outside !!

WellI got my runningaround done and then for some ridiculous reason decided to thoroughly clean the kitchen!! Let's say it isWELL disinfected !!!

My doctor visit went well !! Bloodwork was good except cholestrol high but my GOOD cholestrol was very good so Doc wants me totake baby aspirin and fish oil YUK!!!!!!!

I went for a chest Xray and asked for a copy when it was done meaning the report as I can't have a PPD due to having BCG shot in England!! So for work I need a chest Xray!! The sweet Tech asked me to wait and then gave me a copy of the Xrays I didn't have the heart to tell him that's not what I needed !! But I told my boss to brush upon her Xray reaidng skills !! She of course thinks this confirms that I am CRAZY!!!!

At least you made it through - but YUUUCCCKKK!

PSSST!
I'm going to WDW next month!

It annoyed me as well as the school has clearly stated given the current state of affairs that if you are sick to stay home and they will work with you to make sure that you do not miss anything and that there are no penalties for a missed test/assignment.

This is happening in my office and it drives me nuts. We, luckily, all have the capability of working from home here and some people just insist they must be in the office! Grrrr.

Tonite I had to take a consumer to Value Hardware Store .... He HAD to have a Glass Cutter tonite .... Cuz he needed it to fix broken windows when he gets married !! Right you think He must have plans NO not even a girlfriend !!!!Gotta Love them !! Their thinking is so uncomplicated !!!!

Awww - that's sweet

Thank goodness it was just the CB!! Whew! Sorry about the riding lessons, I know what you mean though about having to scale back on things! I sure hope your ex mans up and starts paying!

Love the cowboy!

No, but I will go vote on my one thing. I really wish I was kidding that it was only the one, but I'm not...

I have no idea what I'm voting for, but I'm going to go do it on the way home!

You should! That's ridiculous. They want everyone to get out and vote and you go out of your way to do it and they're not ready for you

My doctor visit went well !! Bloodwork was good except cholestrol high but my GOOD cholestrol was very good so Doc wants me totake baby aspirin and fish oil YUK!!!!!!!

I hope you can take that fish oil in pill form so you don't have to actually taste it- double YUK!!!

No one is posting on my TR

I'm on my way over ....
------------------

Off in a few minutes to the dentist to get my crown put on. Think I'll stop at Jo-anns on the way , then vote on my way home from the dentist.

With all the technology problems we've been having another cropped up on sunday. DD Ariel tried to call from her 6-month old fancy cell phone on Sunday and I couldn't hear her, she could hear me but no one could hear her. Everything else seemed to work fine, so I figured she just hit some kind of button that muted her sound. So, when she got home I sent her to Radio Shack where we bought the phone and they said the microphone on it went . I'm thinking great, how much is THIS going to cost me now. They sent her to the Sprint store in the mall, they said she'd have to go to a Sprint repair shop . So, finally on Monday, she gets to a Sprint repair shop and....they just gave her a new phone - and it didn't cost me anything! Whew! For once, I caught a break! (Now I've probably just jinxed myself.....)

Have a good Tuesday everyone!

Well, and now I've realized that the dog's vet appointment that I thought was at 9:00 is at 11:00. I've texted D to see if he could be home or take the dog, but he's not getting back to me.

Girls are back to school tomorrow and I have golf matches the next 2 days so busy busy busy!!!

Have fun!

****************************************************
Well, got everything copied and sorted, just needs stapling. No biggie.

The kids have tennis, so I should go get changed to take them. I also realize that I've not taken the dog out this afternoon. Whoops.
