WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt 16

[HollyTyler]

I thought I was doing such a great job adjusting to the time change, but I think I'm still at least partly on Marilyn's time I was in bed in good time last night and went right to sleep...but woke at 4:00 AM and could not get back to sleep so ended up getting up. Now I'm fading fast! I do have to get up at 5:30AM for work tomorrow, so guess I shouldn't be too far off tomorrow

Brian and Tammy and SERENITY came for a visit today! As soon as Serenity saw me she came running screaming grandma, grandma grandma It felt so good to hug her and visit with her for the afternoon! She is getting so big! I bought her a swimsuit in Gibralter, I'm hoping it isn't too small. The weather here today is greatly improved over yesterday. The sun came out and it got really nice and warm out, so we were able to run around in the yard. My grass is so long and filled with dandelions Serenity kept running over them saying sorry for stepping on them My tulips are still blooming too so I'm glad I didn't miss them. I have yellow and red tulips all mixed together in the front garden and they are lovely and vivid and certainly look like spring.

Thanks to all for the welcomes home

Aw, Serenity missed you so much! How cute!

 

[HollyTyler]

Welcome back to all the cruisers, glad everybody made it home safely! Looking forward to pics!


Not much computer for me tonight, too tired, need a break from it, going to watch "Lost" and "V" and read during the commercials and jump in bed right after "V".

New hangout - Diversions....new server friends Doug & Dinesh (Victor is on the Wonder) - Guinness on tap

Days at sea.....some chilly days....time spent wrapped up in a blanket on couches, napping, in front of Cove Cafe.

CC - beautiful as always

Loved meeting up w/ old friends & making new ones.

Only 3 days spent on heated tile loungers.

glad to see you needed me as usual but more glad you are safely home and had a good time

Came home from work early today with CHERI'S COLD yes I blame her because she talked about it on here - how else could I have gotten it ???? Now go wash your hands people

 

[Tink rules]

Sorry you're feeling poopy Nan...

I suggest something warm in some coffee or hot chocolate... perhaps some schnaaps?

& yes... I will go and wash my hands.

I had donuts at work today - I guess that's a good thing about my job huh?

Paul is on his way home now with some soup

Hmm but I wonder if you'd like my project?

I'll easily trade you mine ... Frickin government bureaucrats.
Get this my program officer for one of my contracts had no idea how the program actually worked nor did he know exactly what my contract was all about.

At the end of March, governmental fiscal year end, he asks for my report/invoice early. I deliver. He then starts to question a bunch of the charges (and by charges I mean clients that I invoice for in the program) and revises my report/invoice to a lower amount. This questioning makes me believe he doesn't understand the program. I have meeting with him and his superior and we hammer out what the contract/program is and isn't. Basically I get everything I want. Mr. Bureaucrat and I agree to redo the March invoice/report which affects which clients are in the program and not in the program (not to mention the costs). So I go ahead and redo the invoice/report and submit it to him.

then comes the payment. I got it today and it was for the amount that he had revised my initial report/invoice down to. Now I get to spend the rest of the day trying to figure out which clients are actually in the program and which ones aren't. And of course this is for March and we are at the end of April so we have been providing service to people for a month that weren't necessarily in the program and others that we had dismissed from the program are actually in the program so we have to get back in touch with them.

Add to this we had to let someone go/they quit on us last week and we are finding out that they didn't leave soon enough because they were working with clients without registering the client in the program so there is no record of this person who is coming in and wanting service. Add to that she messed up royally the process with employers on training programs so that we have employers who have hired people before the training program was approved and some employers who she just left hanging. And of course little to no record keeping to go with it.

And that's just 1 program. I won't even get into the other 4 programs I oversee (at least two of them are running without a problem).

The bag that Cheri got was a Tenba. It's very nice. Plus it came with a raincoat.

Ohhh me likey!!!

Hmm
i wonder if Shannon would mind me getting just one more ....

 

[Tink rules]

Not if you buy her a Louis Vuitton of the same size...

 

[Tink rules]

Ken...

I got a hangnail today texting Monica at work...

Deciding now whether to give myself workman's comp.

 

[Tink rules]

Well...

The old lady's gotta go get her license renewed tomorrow.

They're giving her an eye test...

I told her to bring along one of the smutty novels she readys and read it from a couple of feet away...

Then I promised her we'd go to Ian's favorite store and get cheap lemonade...

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

Well Nan, I don't think what I have what you and Cheri have/had. I don't have a cold. just the chills along with aches and a not so happy tummy.

Go wash your hands vigorously.

But my lovely wife just made me some soup and that tasted really good!

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

Is it sad that I had to google to see what that was?

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

Well up here Workman's comp is only 60% of your wages. So for the most part I don't want to go on it. You make the call on yours.

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

To Kathe, Monica and Jackie:

(or is that just cruel?)

 

[BubbaGrump]

Cruel but fair.....

Mom's been sneezing all day... I think she's allergic to me.

did you check out the prices???

I think I'll hold out for another injury... I've been known to stub my toe from time to time.

Feel better soon!

yes, you did need another one this year.

Not if you buy her a Louis Vuitton of the same size...

NO, no Louis Vuitton for me, and no new camera bag for him. Much better things to spend money on (like a cruise next year!)

 

[Tink rules]

I tried...

 

[granmaz]

Ken, sorry things are so stressful at the moment, and also that you are feeling poorly. Get well soon.

Welcome home Jackie and Monica!

Hi Kaylee!

Completed first day back to work today...4 more to go until I get another day off I woke at 4:30 AM but I needed to get up at 5:30 anyway so it wasn't too bad. I am already worn out though! Sara cancelled on our date to go to the gym after work. I should have gone on my own but I wimped out too

You need to be on top(or almost) form before going back to the gym Kathe, so don't rush it.

Poor you. Look after yourself(because nobody else probably will) and recover soon.

Cruel but fair.....

True and true!!!
