Good Wednesday Morning, Everyone!

:donut::hi:
Captain Clintmax of The Morning Crew here, and I hope all you Nighthawks have had a great time tonight! I have some coffee in hand and I'm ready to get this day started! :bounce::bounce:

:hi:
Yes, you were first today, congratulations! How's every little thing?

...one day at a time. Did you get that election problem resolved yet?

One or two other details to put into place and the whole damned thing will be fixed! :rofl: Jeebus, why couldn't someone have thought of this 5 years ago?? :rofl:

I am fighting today with crazy catalog entries :eyes:

:hi::hug:
Crazy catalog entries? Which one are you looking at?

it is hard to explain. The entries in the online catalog are either wrong, or I can't find them or it is the wrong signature to the right book ..... you can chose :eyes:

You run across that once in a while and it drives me freakin' BONKERS! :rofl:

I fall over very strange entries almost daily. But today they are piling up for some reason. If I bang my head this evening against a wall you know why

They are maddening, but don't hurt yourself, my dear.

actually I enjoy it. But pssst .... couldn't let the word out that I actually enjoy my work :)

Right now I catalog old books, from the 17./18. century

I'm glad you enjoy it though! I won't tell a soul...promise!

to have such old books in my hand, to imagine who read in those, what their history is ...

When I was in Rome...I walked out of the Colosseo subway, laid my hand on the outside wall of the Colosseum and thought to myself; "This thing is two thousand years old. Imagine who else has been in this very spot."

I answered your e-mail a short while ago, thank you for helping me dust off some treasured memories.

I will check right away. My pleasure to help you rembering a great time in your life :D

How are you doing this morning?

:hi:
I'm doing just fine! Still trying to wake up the rest of the way. Boy, yesterday flew by! One minute I was here...talking with everyone and the next...I was getting off work and making dinner. You doing OK?

Just whiling away the end of my shift. Things are a bit slow right now but thankfully you just entered the Lounge.

:hug:
I'm glad you're here too! How much time do you have left at work?

Hopefully an uneventful one.

Tonight I'm going to get a bunch of boxes and begin packing some stuff that I won't be needing in the next few months (books, summer clothes, miscellaneous junk). It will be nice to have yet another task out of the way and off my mind.

I can't believe Thanksgiving and Christmas are so close already! I have people coming into the store now buying Christmas presents and all I can think of is; "You people are better than me. I haven't even STARTED shopping yet."

With the upcoming move and all I can't afford it. It's just as well--I hate shopping, particularly during the holiday season :puke:.

I like to go shopping sometimes, but when there's a bazillion people at the stores and you can't hardly get through the crowd to pick out anything...YUCK! :puke:

I just checked the lottery numbers and I didn't win the Mega Millions....AGAIN. Darn Clenis!!! :mad: Guess I'll have to try again Friday.

the world would be a much nicer and better place! We have GOT to figure out how to get rid of the damned thing! :rofl:

EEEVIL Clenis, perpetrator of dastardly deeds and grievous unwholesomeness. DIE CLENIS!!! :rofl:

:rofl: No doubt!

I need to win the lottery too. I want to buy this:

So I say, let's get rid of the damned clenis so we BOTH can win!

Smart looking and I'm sure it gets good mileage. Nice choice! If I won I'd get another Saturn.

The Ion's are HOT! I just don't like their warranty's. 3 years, 30,000. :puke:

Apparently the Honda Civic Hybrid is one of the uber-reliable cars. Maybe next time I'm up for a new car I'll go for that instead. Then I can have reliability plus something better for the environment.

:hi:

How's life jollying along in the sunshine state?

:hi::hug:
Good to see you this morning (or afternoon as the case my be)! Life is fine! We're at 66 degrees F right now and looking forward to 73F for a high! I'm listening to a Rick Springfield mix I made (the 80's Dude)...so, life is grand! Are you doing OK?

The B.B.C. say that it's 44 here - but they also claim that we're having light showers, and there's barely a cloud in the sky, certainly not rain-clouds either.

I'm sitting drinking some green-tea, and once I've got through that may well raid the chocolate in my desk drawer (I was forced to buy it yesterday - gorgeous 70% stuff). Listening to Malengreau here (which probably means as much to you as Rick Springfield does to me :crazy: ).

All in all, life's not bad at all, but do have to get on with some work - which certainly isn't so good.

But that's OK. I have to close the store tonight so I dn't go in until this afternoon. I have a feeling it is going to be a long day too. I hope the rest of it goes by for you, Buddy!

I ordered a few new C.D.s last week, and was listening to them at work (on headphones as always) by some extreme fluke one of my office-mates has similar tastes to myself and was very interested in them.

The third person in the office, who is more typical in her tastes said she didn't mind hearing a dash of it, so I put it on the speakers instead of the headphones - the look on her face was extraordinary, she had never heard anything like it before and was totally bemused at how anybody could like it - whilst the other two of us were sitting entranced.

Vive la difference say I.

I collect all kinds of music. I know this is going to make me sound like a geek...but I collect radio jingles also (you know, the musical shorts radio stations play between songs where the singers sing the stations call letters a frequency) and I have some radio station software on my computer that automates the mixing of the music, jingles, commercials, etc. All I have to do is indicate which songs I want played in the playlist and the software builds it, inserts the jingles, and so it's like listening to the radio without any commercials or DJ's! I have a lot of fun with it, let me tell ya! :bounce:

So time to vanish for a wee while. :bounce:

:hi::hug:
I'm glad we got a chance to chat briefly today!

:hi: :hug:

But I'm afraid that lunch is not to be passed on - and I certainly do feel even better now. :D

I always feel better after eating lunch too.

I looked him up on Real Player and the only listing they have for him is a collection of organ music. I was just wondering if he did any other types of works (piano, orchestral, etc).

But then I'm heavily into the modern French organ school - I'd guess that he may have a few other compositions round the edges. Amazon.co.uk only has him down with organ C.D.s

I'll have to check out some of his works. I listen to some classical but I'm looking to broaden my horizons in that respect.

:hi:

:hi::bounce:
What's going on in YOUR world? Anything exciting?

She wants our feedback. I'm feeling bold, so I think I'll give it. :evilgrin:

Sometimes people are just ASKING for trouble when they do that...especially when the ones responding are "feeling bold". :rofl: They might hear something they don't really don't want to hear! Go for it, says I! :evilgrin:

I woke up a few hours ago myself. Can't sleep. Just recovering from the flu, so I thought I'd check out the Morning Crew for a bit anyway. :) Have a good day!

:hi:
I hate it when I do that. Wake up early and can't get back to sleep. Once I DO wake up, I can't just lay there and try to go back asleep. I gotta get my little butt outta that bed, so I know just how you feel. I hope you can sleep a little more in a while though.

so maybe I'll get a little drowsy and crash out some more. I hope so anyway. :) I have a long day too.

:hi:

How's it going?

I am suing you for custody of our child...

Oh wait, that's another thread, my bad. :)

So how are you this morning?

Sleepy, but I'm always sleepy before I've had my two cups of coffee.

You will never get our child. My lawyer told me so.

How are you?

:D

but, I will get our child. Just you wait and see. :)

:loveya:

It sucks being away for so long.

And, my lawyer said he could kick your lawyer's ass.

oh man, I'm fucked.

Well, just grant me visitation rights. That's all I ask. :)

As long as I don't see any carrot cake lying around anywhere.

Hey when you bring our kid over can you wear that one sexy outfit that I always liked. Damn, I miss you. Our divorce was messy and all, but, you didn't need to take the whole island from me. Not to mention my dignity. Or those lifts I put in my shoes so I can be a few inches taller. Yup, I miss those the most. :)

:hug:

I don't see you anywhere near often enough now!

:loveya:

:hug:

It's coming towards the end of the semester and the professors are trying to cram everything in at the last minute. I've been taking Sundays and Mondays and devoting them entirely to school work lately. I miss you guys on those days.

How are you today?

:loveya:

I'm fine thanks, my friend. :)

I like your new sig picture.

Autumn is my favorite season.

I had two tests on Monday alone. It's been hectic. Plus I've been battling the flu off and on for two weeks. Feel shitty this morning. I may just miss my lecture this morning. I can afford to, I just don't like to, you know? But sleep is a little more important right now I would think. :)

Hell yeah, I miss you too. I haven't been around here all that much until this week. Had a little extra time being under the weather and all.

:loveya: right back. :)

for a few weeks. Just tons of reading. Reading reading reading. Who knew when I decided to be an English major that reading would become a pain in the ass? I haven't read anything of my own choosing since July! :cry:

I've been trying to read a few different books but I can't get anywhere on them, because I have so much other reading to do. I did breeze through Franken's new book though. Other than that I don't even read the news as much as I would like. I just can't keep up with everything otherwise I would have to read 20 hours a day, haha.

:hi::hug:
Good to see you this morning! I missed you yesterday.

:hug:

My profs are trying to cram a bunch of crap in at the last minute since there are only four weeks of class left, so I've been having to take days off of DU to get it done. Almost finished. Almost finished. Next semester should be my last semester. :woohoo: Then I can join the real world. x(

Greekspeak is going through the same thing at FSU. Not only does he have classes to do work in, but he's also teaching, so he has to work out lectures, tests, etc. He's pulling his hair out too.

No wonder I hardly ever see him around.

FSU -- party school. :D

Yes, I'm on that campus all time and it sometimes looks like a full scale riot in progress! :rofl: Fraternity Row is an interesting place to be around, let me tell ya!

drinking beer and ogling women? That's what the frat guys at my school are like, anyway. There was a big scandal a few weeks ago when 32 of them were arrested at a party for being too loud and having minors there drinking. *sigh* Will they ever grow up?

I knew a guy from high school who decided to go to FSU, and when I asked him why, he replied, "It's been voted the number one party school five years in a row!" I asked him if he cared at all about his education and he said, "No! Beer! Pot! Bitches! That's what I care about."

I really haven't talked to him since. :rofl:

"Beer, Pot and Bitches" huh? :rofl: I've never been INSIDE one of the Frat Houses but I can just imagine what goes on inside them. I don't blame you for not talking to him...THAT'S a bad attitude! :rofl:

I'm sure he's a garbage man or something by now. :D

becoming president, you know?

















Oh, shit.

You're right. He's the next GWB. :scared: Can I come live in the UK with you, billy?

I have a comfy sofa! :)

Yeah, probably so...unless he got his act together after he got there.

Some Dudes never get it though.

(round)

I'm just getting ready for bed.. I will get to work after about 10 hours of sleep... Yawn...

:hi:
10 hours, huh? I can't sleep more than 5 or 6.

I need sleep!!


Oh, It will be good...... Thanks.

Good gods! Why on EARTH have you been up so long? Holey moley, after THAT much time awake a person can start hallucinating!

I have started to do more harm then good. I will just have to deal with being late on a few things. If I continue like this I will have twice as much work in the morning fixing things I fucked up tonight.

Time for bed..

Good night! :hi:

:donut: :hi:

I keep missing you, so I thought I'd drop in before I take my walk today. Have a great day!

:hi::hug:
Good to see you this morning! I've missed you too! I hope you're doing good down there!

The yard waste is gone now but we can't find anyone to fix the roof or screen. Frustrating ... not the end of the world.

Today's a busy day. Gotta run. Hope to catch you tomorrow. :hug:

:hi::hug:
Hope you have a good one!

:donut: :hi:

:hi:
I hope you're doing good!





*singing* "Today's best music...Z100...New York!" "Serving The Universe...." :rofl:

:hi:

Thank you! :hi:

I'm just getting ready to get my Granddaughter up and ready for school, her Mom's already left for work. It's a blustery day here, temp is dropping and wind is blowing...I hear we're in for snow showers today.

Have a great day!

:hi:
I'm going to try very hard to have a good day! I hope your's is a good one too!

It's late here - not that I follow soccer but I just watched Australia defeat Uruguay to go to next year's World Cup for I think only the second time ever (last time in 1974) - so that's gonna be all over the papers here tomorrow.

:toast:

I haven't seen you in AGES it seems! I hope life has been treating you well!

Working in an air-conditioned building just sometimes sucks ass - it's the quickest way I know to spread germs.

As usual, you sound in good spirits too !!!

:hug:

No sense going through life being a sourpuss in my opinion! :bounce:
Sorry to hear you were sick last week. I hope you're feeling better now though!

:hi::hug:
I was wondering where you were!

I need to recover from all my running around last week.

It seems as if I became over tired and couldn't sleep. I was up for 24 hours between Monday morning and Tuesday morning. I haven't done that in many years.

:hug: :loveya:

I never do that, myself. 24 hours is a long time to be awake. I'm glad you got to sleep in today then, after being up so long!

I stayed away from everyone as much as possible yesterday because I'm sorry to say that I was a real bitch on wheels. But I did make good use of my discomfort directing it toward a small but irritating problem that was coming to a head and needed to be dealt with anyway. Luckily there was no blood letting, no tears just steam coming out of everyone's ears for a little while. Did you feel the earth move around 3 PM?

I never imagined it would be THAT! LOL! Did you get it "fixed" though?

I do believe I did.

But as things go ~ I also expect we will feel a few aftershocks for days, perhaps for weeks ~ ~ ~

I did what I had to do for my own peace of mind.

How are they hangin'?

I stayed up so long one time in school working on a project that when I finally walked home to sleep all the trees and plants had auras. I think I messed my sleep patterns up all too well during school.

See ya! :hug:

:hi:
You see...staying awake causes ALL KINDS of bad things to happen. Auras around trees, huh? I'd be freaked out completely!

My favourite was essays due in on Friday morning - go out with chums on Thursday evening, then get back home about midnight, drink oooooooodles of coffee and write the essay overnight to hand in at 9 in the morning.

Also - election nights, as our results are hand-counted the polls close at 10 p.m., the first result will be declared at about 10:45 - then they start to flow in with most arriving between about 2 and 4 a.m. If there's going to be a change of government, the new P.M. will be called in by the Queen late morning - to be at his desk in Number 10 by about 1.

In 1997 I was a mere 17 year-old, I was at school all day Thursday, then up all night, back into school for Friday morning - fortunately my timetable meant that I was off on Friday afternoon, I was back home by midday to watch Blair arrive at Downing Street - then to bed.

Hope all's well mon cher :hug:

Today's going well, thanks. Yesterday was rollicking good fun. Today I am more about my business. We are finishing interviews for a new office assistant and I have a few end-of-month deadlines that I have to remember to complete with the Thanksgiving holidays coming.

Everything is agreeable and it's great to see you about. :loveya:

Now to look up Malengreau (after I check back with the post for spelling).

:loveya:

:hi::loveya:
I hope you're doing well!

Good afternoon to all! :hi:
