Froot?? Who put you up to this?? Cah-fee pleess.

Good Morning Everyone,

I to have been going bonkers the last few days. I had my initial interview for my transfer to another department on Monday and then had my second interview yesterday. I am now headed to my panel interview early next week, so I can escape the madness of my current department. My supervisor threatened to fire me on Monday, because of a post I put on Facebook. So now, I am going to be deleting my current account and creating a new one; only this time around none of my old friends that I grew up with, will be on it. Apparently, she is the kind of manager that doesn't like when you speak up and say something about the whole let's treat each other like shit mentality some of the girls are doing. Little does my manager know, that I am going to typing everything up today and contacting HR. I was talking to a friend the other night on the phone and told hym what was going on. These girls think it is ok to crack jokes against gay people and when I told them I was gay, they went and started making jokes about me and this supervisor who is a gay man. The sad thing about all of it, is that my manager was in there listening to them say these jokes.

I am leaving virgin mimosas for us to enjoy with the delicious breakfast Jo Jo has made!

Zimmy

Good Morning everyone!!! Be careful Jo with the delivery of said recliner to kinda close kind of people make me weary!!! It's hazy and hot & Emily is on her way!!!

Good luck at work Zimmy!

Dat look like flavur coffee. Want reel coffee. See coffee. Kill coffee. Coffee dead.

I can be an animal in the mornings. :cool:

Hmmm....how about this one?

This is what I would like to have at the moment even with the heavy sugar loaded whipped cream on top!

Zimmy

Need strong mug! Strong like bull! Not wimpy little porcelain cup with saucer!!

(You better look out. You've awakened the animal in me.)

Quietly sets down...

http://myabbysattic.com/images/mug_coffee_bl.jpg

...and tiptoes out of the kitchen.

AHHHHHH....


Oo, could I get some half-and-half?

wow in all the time the kitchen has been open ive never seen such demanding,unhappiness displayed over coffee and cups it is served in..most ppl just help themselves to whatever it is they NEED to start their day! :blink:

thank goodness Jo is such an obliging person!--thats why she is the nicer of the 2 of us! :)

As far as Emily goes i havent really been watching it so i hope Ms Snow will give us a heads up if needed! :)

i'm craving some waffles---maybe if we go yardsaling Saturday Jo will suggest we go to Waffle House(hint hint) ;)

hope everyone has a great day!

It's parody. Hope yours is! I get in enough trouble.

:)

As of right now, Emily is sitting over the Dominican Republic and Haiti. She is supposed to move up the East Coast and head north. They are predicting that she will be category 1 hurricane by Saturday night!

How are you doing?

Zimmy

Waffles? Did someone say waffles?

That sounds sooooo good right about now...

http://www.yumyucky.com/wp-content/u...FLE.jpg?cda6c1

Well Dixie hop on the 95 and head on down....we will all get waffles then go treasure hunting on the beach :)
hell ya can pick up Snow and Grant and Zimmy along the way!

Zimmy.....im doing ok...finally got some therapy happening...gotta go get scopes put in places scopes shouldnt be...lol..hows the job going?

So honey...is that a yes to waffles this weekend?:)

Will someone Fed Ex waffles to me? Pretty please!! I don't drive fast enough to get there by this weekend.

Besides, my transfer came through and I start in my new position tomorrow. It wouldn't look good to call in sick for waffles on the first day. :blink:

Thanks for coffee and breakfast. I am certain it is my turn to clean up the kitchen. I will be back about noon to take care of that.

Maybe we all could have a get together and have lunch one day?

Scopes in the wrong spots doesn't sound like fun and I'm hoping you have a bottle of Aleve for later.

Have fun,

Zimmy

WAFFLES!!!!

So Grant has been hiding the news on me cause I just found out reading Zimmy it's now a goat damn hurricane!!! WOW! My first Florida panic moment:|

It will be ok! Emily was downgraded to a tropical depression. She lost her fizzle over the Dominican Republic and they are still keeping their eyes on her. I don't want to re-live what happened with Hurricane Charley..That was scary not being able to contact my mom because she had lost her telephone and electricity...

How about some chicken wings for dinner?

Zimmy

I have a 24-hour IHOP I can walk to. I think of it as the other side of the coin to living where people get shot to death in front of your Mobil station.

:|

Did someone say coffee? :coffee: ... I'm going through withdrawals. The Borders down the street from work closed, taking the cafe with it. Now I eat my lunch in the (dismal) cafeteria at work instead of enjoying sunshine, summer breezes and caffeinated beverages. :bigcry:

I am making a fresh pot of Starbucks' French Roast coffee! I will leave it on so you all can have a cup or two..

Enjoy!

Zimmy

i'll just take one cup, thanks Zimmy!

Good Morning DC,

You got it!

http://i784.photobucket.com/albums/y...al/Vivanno.jpg

I added a shot of espresso for good measure!

Enjoy,

Zimmy

Good morning everyone (and welcome sassy) :)

Here's a "happy Friday" cup for everyone...

http://www.publicradio.org/columns/m...fee%20love.jpg

We're happy here in Florida today because Emily decided to rain over the Carribean rather than try to blow our houses down....so no picking up and running to Ockechobee until it passes for us this weekend. (Which reminds me...I need to figure out how to install our hurricane shutters).

I'm thrilled that it's Friday...and am going to convince my sweetie that tomorrow is a good Waffle House morning. Ours is in a semi-yicky neighborhood, but I don't think we'll get shot there tapu....hopefully you aren't taking your life in your hands for 24 hour coffee!

Special kitty was up on the fence again this morning...but Scoote found the spot in the netting that she was pushing through and stapled it down tight. Now Gracie is grumping around the pool muttering :giggle: We allow our kitties in the fenced backyard, and have done a ridiculous amount of work to try to prevent their escape...including installing netting over bookshelf brackets near the top of the wooden fence. It makes the backyard look a little maximum security, but the kitties can't navigate an upside down 90 degree angle of loose netting, so they are contained. I keep trying to convince them that they have a whole yard to enjoy and should be happy with that (especially since there are cars and alligators and water moccasins and goodness knows what on the other side)....but they are not especially convinced.

One cup of coffee and then I have to run to the pool store and WalMart before I'll be missed at work....ahhhh....the joys of working from home, primarily with folks in another time zone. :cheesy:

Have a great day everyone! :gimmehug:

Good Morning Everyone,

Thought I would pop in and make us breakfast today! I am thinking of maybe a light breakfast, since it is hot outside...

How about this?

Enjoy!

Zimmy

"I'd just like a cup of the house coffee, please," she said meekly. "Take your time."

Welcome home Gail!!! Happy Friday to all!!!!

Good Morning Everyone,

Well, I woke up in a very good mood this morning! The bosses at :rubberducky:land, have approved my time off from work and my hotel room for the reunion..Woohoo!

How about a huge buffet breakfast this morning to celebrate? I just need some sugar free :koolaid:, to keep my sugar intake in order..Hehe...Ask my friend who got to chat with me after I had to much sugar...:blink: Hy kept telling me to slow down...

I am off to do nothing today, except look for my box of checks that are missing from when I moved...

Zimmy

Good morning everyone :)

Thanks for breakfast Zimmy...that sounds yummy! Coffee is on... help yourselves...

Long time no see Lips...the Berkshires are beautiful...sounds like a nice, relaxing time. I used to drive through them regularly and always enjoyed the view, especially in the fall when the leaves where turning.

Had a busy morning already...taking care of the pool, emptying the dishwasher, doing laundry, and switching to a covered cat box that I'm hoping the kitties will accept and use...we'll see.

Scoote is off exploring yard sales...my eyes weren't up to it this morning. Sounds crazy...but walking around in the sun looking at stuff didn't sounds as good as sitting on the couch where I could close my eyes and rest them periodically. Getting older is not all fun and games. :cheesy:

Hope you're all having a nice, relaxing weekend. :gimmehug:

Happy weekend, everyone!

I am enjoying a second cup of creamer with coffee while I make a veggie frittata for my honey. (I am so not a cook so please cross your fingers for him.)

Today will be spent rototilling and planting our community garden spot. I hope some of the other gardeners will be there so we can get to know them.

I also love that the time will be spent bonding with my honey's best friend, because we are sharing the plot. We don't see her nearly enough.

I anticipate a limited movement day tomorrow. LOL Thank you in advance to whoever makes the coffee.

:byebye:

Dinner is served!

Tonight, we are having the following: grilled chicken, with light garlic salt, basil and crushed red pepper; rice with crushed red pepper and basil; green peas with a dash of garlic salt and basil with fresh French rolls from Alexia. Dessert is up to all of us...

Enjoy!

Zimmy

Good morning everyone,

Well, the SeaWorld trip is cancelled, and I'm the only one awake...including critters. Evidently it's raining in Orlando and the Prince didn't want to wake up anyway.

So...not sure what the day holds. Had a talk with a friend whose nephew just died in a car accident...then a long much-needed and overdue talk with my best friend (who I miss like crazy).

Coffee's on.... :bringcoffee:

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I am really wanting a huge strawberry milkshake! It is hotter than I don't know what outside!!!

I will be back later; I'm going to take a nap!

Zimmy

Good morning everyone :)

Coffee's on...

We're going a little fancy because...ugh...it's Monday. :(

Somehow the weekend just flew by. We did go see Rise of the Planet of the Apes on Saturday night...which I enjoyed. And Scoote and I managed a lunch out yesterday...otherwise, ummmm....I took care of the pool and baked cookies. :giggle:

Not my most productive weekend ever. *sigh*

I did manage a very long chat with my best friend. I miss our Sunday morning breakfasts....just sitting, eating, talking, drinking cofee, more talking, more coffee, more talking, more coffee :)

I keep trying to convince her to move down here, but that would involve her leaving her husband, her job, her house....yea, unlikely. They celebrated their 19th anniversary on Saturday so, even when she wants to kill him, I think she's in for the duration.

Back to work for me....hope you all have a great day. :gimmehug:

Buenos días Ms Jo!!! Have a productive Monday everyone!!!!

I got the job!!!!

Zimmy
