So much for not getting many hours at Wegmans

Jan 12, 2011 11:53

Ray has already noted that I got called in yesterday. I thought it was funny that it happened when I was ensconced on the sofa, knitting, and he'd pulled apart the bathroom sink trap. But then, I'm easily amused ( Read more... )

driving, movies, snow, working

Having his servant girl mixing his paints might have been his own brand of foreplay, of getting her ready for sex by making her feel special.

I liked that movie a lot.

You should put Vatel on your list if you haven't already seen it.

I realize this is a vulgar statement, but did they really bother with foreplay in that era?
Also, I IMDB'd Vatel. Oooh, la-la! It's in our Netflix queue now!
OMG, Gerard Depardieu! I'm sure you've seen Green Card, and Crime Spree, the latter of which can make me darn near pee my pants laughing.

If a man were to realize that a woman was a whole lot more fun in the sack when she'd been primed, he might have been inclined to include foreplay in his repetoire.

In the case of Vermeer though, he most likely wouldn't have wanted to out and out rape the girl so he seduced her.

Plow guys tend to be very diligent about clearing driveways they're paid to do. I know my plow guy is!

...speaking of, I'll have to call him and find out how many times he plows today, so I can pay him appropriately.

Yay for extra hours and 4WD!

"Plow guys" is a term of art around here, owing to a visit from Mrs. Malaprop some years back.

One of us said to the other, "Have you seen the plow guys?"

The hearer (or rather, lack-of-hearer, therefore more likely me), replied, "The WHAT?!?"

The phrase had been mondegreened into "bug eyes."

So now, as often as we use the other term, we'll ask if one or the other has seen if the bug eyes have been by.

Still waiting on my plow guy, but then, it's still snowing here.

I'm sure I mentioned it before, but would you people up there in the SnowBelt™ please talk to your dispatcher? This is the second time a load intended for you was mis-delivered to us.

Thank you.

Bwahahahaha! Yeah, we Buffalonians all think it's very funny. You've seen pictures of the car we gave to a friend in Maryland before last year's winter, yes/no? The ones where it's under three feet of downfall?

One of the things that was frustrating about my job as a social worker was that I was forever being called in, and being on salary, was never compensated. In fact, I had no choice but to answer my beeper. Don't miss those days.

We are well and truly snowed in with about 5 inches and a layer of ice. I am beginning to go mad. :P

I hear you about being called in with no compensation. That's one of the things I love about this job: I get paid for just showing up! However, I'm enough of an adult to understand when they tell me they need people to leave. I don't like standing around being bored, and having owned my own business I'm sensitive to when they need to cut costs.
Re: the snow, a friend of ours longed to move out of New England. She finally got to move to Atlanta last week, and now she's pissed off because the city is crippled with an amount of snow which wouldn't do anything in Boston, where she moved from. It's all what you're used to. Hang in there.
