How Do You Feel Today? v4

[Cord Hurn]

I'm getting to go home today! I need to make all sorts of calls to schedule follow ups tomorrow, and I have additional medications to work in to my daily regimen. Plus, I'll probably still have some discomfort as my stomach and upper GI system heals. But, I get to be in my own bed tonight, woo-hoo!

Thank you all for your support, spiritually and emotionally. It is massively appreciated!

Wishing you a swift and smooth recovery, Menolly. Strength, positive energy, and blessings to you!

At the office actually. We also have table-tennis, an arcade game cabinet with an emulator in it, and yesterday somebody gave us a foosball table.

I admire having that kind of work atmosphere. If they'd just let you sip cold mugs of beer while on the job, then it would be perfect!

[Cord Hurn]

how'm I feeling today? oh do click here and find out!


(nina simone would probably have been more appropriate but this is my favorite version. it's soooo bobby darin-ish)

Dez the missionary has a decent voice. I personally don't find it outstanding, but it's all right and better than I could ever do. Glad you're feeling good, luci!

[sgt.null]

mmm.. we may need to convene a panel ..

So you have retuned
To your home away from home
The prodigal son

Prodigy, prodigal .. lets not split hairs

I am Afraid I may have a respiratory Infection.

[Cord Hurn]

Been a bit. Since I've been gone...
My brother passed away.
Julie's mom passed last year.
I found out the surgery to fix my ankle did not take.
So I have to do it all over again.
We regained communication with our oldest grandson.
Then lost it again.
I got a new phone that let's me on the Watch.
So hey. Lets try this out.

I am sorry about your losses Sarge. I hope the situations with your ankle and grandson significantly approve.


And, welcome back to the Watch!

[Cord Hurn]

I...

um...

erm...

I been here long time. Yeah, that's it.

It's an accomplishment that few on here could match, ali! If I remember correctly from reading the memberlist, you are among the first fifteen to join the Watch! And you still come back and post! Your longevity is impressive.

[Cord Hurn]

i'd just like to point out all my great contributions to the watch...

i'm the one that first started calling Sgt Null "sarge".
i'm also the one that first dubbed Syl "Sheriff" (because he reminded me of Bullock from Deadwood)

just sayin.

They sound like legitimate claims to fame.

Me, all I can brag about is that I've given out more "good post awards" than any other Watcher, to bolster the status of other Watchers for their great contributions. However, I am now only 8 "good post awards" away from making my given thanks go into quadruple digits. Which may be more than the Watch's information capacity can handle; I don't know about that. If the Watch should suddenly break in the next few days, it may turn out to be all my fault!

Thanks. We at least had time to tell Zeke we loved
Him and that when he turns q8 in 2 years he is welcome here.
My ankle will require me taking 3 months off for repair.

Don't worry, 9999 is the number that supposedly breaks the space/time continuum in here. We should be safe for a couple more years.

Just left the clinic. Antibiotics for a respiratory infections. A daily inhaler again for my asthma. [ i still use the rescue Inhaler] And Bromfed DM.

Well, we sometimes have Friday braais and the beers do make their way into the office, and a few of us occasionally slip out for a quick puff.

The boss is an old (mostly ex) stoner and really the only rule we have is that as long as the work gets done to standard and deadline, everything else is up to us.

Can't deny it's a great job.

I think if you HAVE to work .. thats the job to have

I read a study today that shows that people over 40 should only work 3 days a week now thats a study I can get behind

[aliantha]

I saw that study. I think it's a splendid idea.

Alas, the powers that be at our firm would never agree to it.

[Skyweir]

Thats the problem isnt it? What work place, besides Avs would even consider lightening up and getting their progressive on?

Back in the day .. when France introduced its 4 day working week .. I tried to get my work place on board but ohh no ... it would cripple the economy, it would cost too much, we need a reserve force at all times .. its called rotating shifts people.

You are never WITHOUT staff .. the French model apparently was successful, did not cripple the economy and turned out it was an efficacy

No dice

That is definitely a relief! Thank you, Sorus! Now I can continue being thankful.

That's a shame, Sky! When I work my half-year job as a wildlife tech, we go out into the forest for 4 10-hour days, and it works great! You just don't have to waste so much time and week just driving to and from work. An efficacy, indeed.

[Skyweir]

LOL Id actually love your job.

Much like mine .. in that youre out and about .. getting plenty of Da.

[Damelon]

A little bummed this evening. I hit a possum on the way home. The weather was cruddy and I didn't see it till the last second. Nothing I could do, I thought I might be able to go over the top, but I felt my undercarriage hit it. Poor thing was just trying to go about it's business.

[Sorus]

Oh, no. Sorry.


I feel like yuck. No heat at work, and it's been very cold, so that equals an ear infection. In my bad ear. They'd managed to fix our heating (after having no heat for five winters in a row), but it seems to be broken again. Yay.

That doesn't sound like any fun at all. I'm trying to fight off a lingering stomach bug that's been bugging me since the weekend, but otherwise all good. Weather has been bearable, work not too onerous, things mostly good.
