Then have 6 people all look at me and shake their head no...
So I adjust the priorities and set my student up with her work load and tasks so she can also work her other job and have time for homework.
One week later - I have 3 big projects (that apparently have been on the radar for the past few months) that all want done by the end of June. And now are mad because I said that the student worker wont have time to work on all of them, so they will have to do the work themselves...
Get a clue people!
gotta find humor in that
Slow computer access. The connection is fine, the computer is a dinosaur.
People who make me feel like I am pulling teeth when I am just trying to get some basic communication accomplished.
People who make me feel like I am a huge bother when I ask for help with something simple. Their reply, "I suppose" or "I suppose so".
People who ask me to help with something, then get other appropriate parties involved, then drop the ball at letting me know when and where I am supposed to plug into the situation. And when I call to ask, they say they don't want to be in the middle.
Slow computers.
People who return calls with the air of a martyr and act like they are being put-upon because they had to rush to call me at a clearly inconvenient time (when I made it clear in my voice mail message that it was nothing important and that talking later in the week, or whenever, would be just fine).
People who tell me that people who would do the above are not worth having in my life, as I've tried excluding the people who do that, and I ended up being a hermit for awhile.
I AM FINE. I am just venting.
always remember that while it takes 43 muscles to frown, it only takes 17 to smile.
also, it only takes 4 to extend your arm and bitch-slap a mother sucker upside the head.
have a nice day :smile:

1. Go to the store, buy a pack of birthday candles.
2. Come over about 8 tonight after I get back from raquetball at the gym.
I'll rub the candles on my ass. That'll get that beefy smell in there.
Total charge: $8/candle.
When did I turn into ares? :lipsealed:
unless they've gone in the blender and someone pushed the smoothie button. (apologies to the guy from the "will it blend?" commercials).
Chopped Onions sitting in the fridge get more and more 'potent' the longer they sit, so long term storage in a cheap plastic tub is NOT a good idea, HOWEVER, Sauteed onions that are refrigerated tend to taste 'sweeter' with time.
And, yes, as phony as it sounds, that really WAS my cousin's real estate agent who indeed said that. Tonight.
they didnt really smell like the burgers... just smelled like cardboard.
whats this thing called unconditional love that they are supposed to have for us?
let's say 'Not Having a Home' is tops right now
I'm crashing at my Aunt & Uncles basement in Hudson for now - it's not a bad place to be, but I have to commute for EVERYTHING because my 'home' and work are both 20 minutes away now.
takes some getting used to.
What state am I planning a family trip to again? Was it Nebraska or something?
hehe :litesmile:
Killer timing as usual Bear :cool:

After some pondering, I decided to take $3K out from the house myself before I locked it down - since I have no freakin' clue what else they have planned. I told the banker I realized this is going to hurt the bank in the short sale - he said "You're right, but technically there's nothing I can do about it at this time." At least HE was sympathetic - Apparently rumor has it the bank becomes a real hardass when it comes to recovering assets in short sales. Not good.
on the other hand, i know some people who know some people who know some other people. not saying i'd contact those people if i were in your shoes, i'm just sayin'
In a shift from previous years, Taste will only feature fireworks on July 4th with a memorial tribute to former Taste organizer Ron Maddox.
Tickets will be available for $20 in advance. Day-of show tickets will be $20 from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m., and $30 from 4 p.m. until the festival closes at 11 p.m. Kids 12 and under will get in free with a paid adult. Veterans and seniors 65+ get in free. VIP tickets are available for $100 and include a VIP Pavilion and complimentary food and beverages. Tickets will be available at www.tasteofmn.com beginning May 7, 2010.
Guess I get in free because I'm a veteran. Must have to show a copy of my discharge?
The Taste was something we always looked forward to because it was FREE. Maybe they didn't have a lot of headliner bands, but it wasn't originally a *music* festival! The musical entertainment was kind of incidental - it was all about the FOOD, and local establishments....you could set your own budget.
There's no way I could or would spend that much $$ to bring my family of 5 (even with the youngest getting in free)....
Don't get through this way too much anymore, and hardly ever take the time to post anything, but I'd heard about them charging for the Taste earlier this Spring, and now reading this...on top of the (IMHO astronomical entrance fee) to only have fireworks on Sunday night, when most people will need to get up in the morning the following day...just really disappointed.
I just assume that the public will drive any changes that don't work. Which seems like this may be the year fro failure even if I am a music buff. It's not called the Minnesota Jam. It's called the 'Taste' of Minnesota. Change the name if that's where they're heading.
