I'd like to put in for some extra hours

No - not at work who do you think I am Bubba? No I need some extra hours in the day. Mostly I think at this point to sleep but I could use the time as well to get all the things done I need to do this week. Today is Wednesday. 120 sandwiches are due Saturday.

Testing must be done by Monday - I have already said I'm not working Saturday. Sunday is doable Steelers have a bye week...

I've already put in 2-- 9 plus hour days and still managed to make a pretty decent casserole last night - without going to the grocery store. Simply no energy to face that! I couldn't do it tonight either... so we had soup and sandwiches. And no -- not the kind I have to make Bubba won't eat egg or tuna salad. Tomorrow night - it's "what ever you pick up honey" dinner.

I will be making salads.

I will be assembling either late Friday or early Saturday morning. Won't those be tasty.

So - the new worry of the week--- a person in my chain of command pretty high up came to see my direct boss today. She was in there for the better part of 90 minutes. No one has said nothing to me. Paranoid - you betcha baby. I'll attempt to corner the boss man tomorrow - between 600 pounds of testing and verifications. Did I happen to mention we have major software headed out the door Monday? AND I've said without a doubt my happy fanny is SO not working Saturday. (I do believe I just stated so a few lines up... scroll up so I did) Apparently I am repeating myself even in a blog. Cripes I need a day off... oh wait just had 5 - but they were with Bubba so does that really count? Yeah I guess it does.

Tomorrow my father under goes a procedure he described to me - frankly it sounded a bit medieval and well terribly medical and we won't even get into painful - and well the ick factor is pretty high - not the oozing ick - but well you know -gross and medical. Plus I get to be 4 hours away while he's on the table so it's probably a good thing I'll be up to my neck in bits and bytes while all this is happening. And unlike Mom I won't see the leftovers sticking out of his neck and the lovely grey color folks seem to have after surgery. I'm sure I had it too - but I was too looped to really give a rat's behind. And even though I was warned it will be late in the day until he's done - I'll have my phone with me just because it's me - and my Dad.

After all Pap - I will need someone around to talk football - my brother is useless but possibly trainable - of course I will have to find the tether his wife has around his -- ah -- neck - yeah let's go with neck. Because it's my brother and anything else would be frankly rude and not to mention gross. Really have to get home more and train his girls - my sister's kid is coming along but her father has horrible taste in hockey clubs. St. Louis - pa-lese. Speaking of hockey that season starts soon...not that I can hear anything about it any more....

Why do you ask? Because some penny pinching moron FIRED all the talent on my favorite Pittsburgh sport radio station and now all they get is the national idiots and THEN after the first of the year it becomes DISNEY RADIO. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? I apparently am not alone in my general unhappiness there are chats and discussion on the world wide whine. So I have turned to music to drown out the working world around me with an occasional visit to another sports talk station in 'da burgh. But they aren't nearly as good. Perhaps we could have them post pod casts daily... then they would want paid -- after all ESPN did fire everyone. Dirtbags. *sigh* On more cross to bear... ;-)

All right - enough whining and griping for one day. I will end with something positive.... thinking... it will come to me.... give it a second. Oh! It is supposed to be nice, warm and sunny this weekend. There you go. Cripes I need a drink. Let's see what tomorrow brings us shall we?
