10629. robertjayb - 8/3/2004 2:33:52 AM Nothing like a cool, smooth pipe to sooth your belly. 10630. Macnas - 8/3/2004 3:47:56 AM I'm at work, again.
And I detest it! My stupid twat of a boss has shagged off for himself, as he has sails to fit or some such knobbery (he's just back from 2 weeks afloat don't you know), and handed me his resulting backlog.
The fucker made sure to leave it in my in-tray while I was out on site, and has a couple of high-end jobs in there that have the eye of the engineering director, so I can't just dump it back on his desk as I would dearly love to.
How I would love to torpedo his yacht in bad weather off Fastnet.

I want to make it total, complete, and entertainingly spectacular. So torpedos away! 10633. wabbit - 8/3/2004 4:45:27 AM Movie recommendation for Macnas: A Shock to the System 10634. wabbit - 8/3/2004 4:47:08 AM Wiz, I have a squizz that lays just like that across the top of the tall wood fence behind the apartment, with his chin resting on the post. He always moves before I can get a photo of him. Then he comes to the door to tease the cats. 10635. Macnas - 8/3/2004 4:55:02 AM I saw that flick wabbit, a good show.
I have no career plans or ambitions, I have a job, and as long as me and the missus can provide for ourselves and our care, that is all we want.
But I hate being taken for a fool by the likes of my boss, a bona fide snob and a lazy to boot.
I've had enough, I'm off home, see yez tomorrow. 10636. wabbit - 8/3/2004 4:59:21 AM Yes, Mac, but it's nice to dream.
Good evening to you! 10637. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 8/3/2004 6:02:33 AM I have one too, wabb and he lays on a limb just below our squirrel-proof feeder just to intimidate the shy birds. 10638. arkymalarky - 8/3/2004 7:03:29 AM (blush) Thanks Judith!
Congrats to Snowowl, and to Abs on the better weather. It finally got hot today, which I can't complain about since the weather was good for the party and it's been an unusually cool summer.
Have fun Wonk!
Wiz, your beautiful package arrived just in time to share with some artistic guests who were stunned by them. I'm not artistic, but I was stunned too. Really fine.
10639. arkymalarky - 8/3/2004 7:04:30 AM Mac,
I feel for you. If you can work the finished projects to your advantage and his disadvantage somehow, that might take a bit of the edge off having the work dumped on you. Good luck. 10640. arkymalarky - 8/3/2004 7:07:50 AM Oh, and I meant to tell you, Judith, that I ended up having a political meeting at the capitol today, so it's back to the grindstone on that, I guess, but I really enjoyed it. The meeting was very productive and helpful. I'm hoping it was an example of what the entire year will be like. 10641. Macnas - 8/3/2004 5:08:41 PM Arky
If I had a machiavellian mindset, perhaps I could turn things to my advantage, but I don't.
Anyways, I feel much better this morning having sorted out the very most of that stuff yesterday, and I have a clear run at the day, as we say here.
10642. Magoseph - 8/3/2004 10:53:34 PM Good morning, if you happen to stray here, please read today's posts in Childhood Memories. Neato, Macnas, and Alistair have revived the thread with fascinating personal histories. 10643. tmesis - 8/4/2004 11:23:57 AM Do Joezan and Ace still post here? I used to enjoy reading their posts on politics even though I disagreed with much of what they said. The political threads seem a lot poorer now. 10644. arkymalarky - 8/4/2004 12:54:22 PM No they don't, but welcome to the Mote. 10645. judithathome - 8/4/2004 10:01:47 PM Tmesis, the political threads and the rest of the Mote are not poorer, just more calm now.
I saw you posting over in RI...glad you dropped by!
By the way, Ace has a blog now. You can have all Ace, all the time, should you so desire. 10646. Magoseph - 8/4/2004 10:57:50 PM Welcome, tmesis! Here is Ace's blog.
Hey, Juds, how's the weather down there?
10647. judithathome - 8/4/2004 11:05:42 PM It's cool! Well, under 100, anyhow. 10648. Macnas - 8/4/2004 11:13:26 PM And here it's wet, maybe 13 deg.C (55.4 deg.F).
Hows that for waxing lyrical Mago?
