food poisoning a la carte lol

7:39 am

EvaNadine

i havent had the lobster truck yet, myself. actually, i havent had the pleasure of sampling from my friends truck either, as she is based in northern VA and not actually in dc (yet another reason she is the underdog). but red hook was the first food truck to break through in this area, and now food trucks are EVERYWHERE here. will be interesting to see how long they stick around...
for the last few months, my one coworker has hardly had a lunch that didnt come off of a truck...heh

7:40 am

dcseain

oh, total bummer on that one

10:28 am

Well, i could have counter offerred, but...you know the HOA dues were very high, and very restrictive. Soooo, this may be better if I wait a year.

Mr Mulroney obviously hasn't made his mark.

Dermot?

10:35 am

never heard of him :)

10:35 am

Haz1558

He sounds Irish with a name like that.

10:36 am

hurshy

people's names matter. on star trek: the next generation, when dr. pulaski came on board, she was pronouncing Data's name with a short A. he corrected her, and she said, "data, day-ta, what's the difference?" and he said, "one is my name. the other is not." i think that sums it up very nicely. :)

10:37 am

dcseain

agreed, hurshy

10:37 am

hi Hursh

10:37 am

hi all

anyway he played Gavin in a few episodes of Friends, and he's been in a bunch of movies... the only one i've seen, i think, is "my best friend's wedding", also starring julia roberts.

10:38 am

hurshy

ah, see, young guns, look at that.

10:38 am

10:40 am

Judi

Ty, Haz. Fireburps!

10:40 am

jmcnrick

10:40 am

jmcnrick

10:40 am

Judi

Don't nurses wear name tags?

10:40 am

Haz1558

Well done, Judi!

10:41 am

hurshy

you should get custom scrubs with your name printed all over the top in different sizes and fonts.

10:41 am

jmcnrick

that would be cute hursh

10:41 am

Haz1558

Some people just aren't good with names...

10:41 am

jmcnrick

hi haz

10:42 am

Haz1558

Husband regularly forgets mine.

10:42 am

hurshy

but most people who aren't good with names are apologetic when they get it wrong, not annoyed with the person they just misidentified!

10:42 am

jmcnrick

oh i forgive people getting the wrong initials--just not the people who insist on knowing my "real" name

10:42 am

Haz1558

Fair enough, he uses his sister's name instead, but still.

10:42 am

10:43 am

jmcnrick

10:44 am

Judi

God, we're so cliche.

10:44 am

hurshy

my dad used to do this bit... "my name is ray jay johnson junior. you can call me ray. you can call me jay. you can call me ray jay. you can call me R.J. you can call me R.J.J. you can call me R.J.J., Junior. But whatever you do, don't call me Johnson!" i think he got it from some classic tv show.

10:44 am

jmcnrick

lol cliches are cliches because they ring true

10:44 am

crosshair

thats because we haVe read and babbled it aLL judi;)

10:45 am

jmcnrick

well it wasn't a very classic one--it was a bit from a stand up comedian who eventually got on a show

10:45 am

Judi

lol, Hurshy. That was some comic's bit. Forget who he was.

10:45 am

jmcnrick

i think he actually was on I love Lucy once

10:46 am

crosshair

terrible when your 15 minutes of fame outlives your own name

10:46 am

hurshy

well, it was reasonably amusing when my dad did it, at any rate.

10:46 am

Judi

That far back, Jmc? I was going to say " The Gong Show". Not worth Googling.

10:47 am

redturtlehead

I do like to call you Mr Hair...

10:47 am

Judi

*Fondly remembers The Gong Show* Now they call it: "American Idol".

10:47 am

Judi

Off to the PB with you, Red.

10:48 am

hurshy

so... i have an interview tomorrow

10:48 am

zoozzoom

10:50 am

amelu0218

you got an 'Amen' from the choir on that one, crossy!

10:50 am

Haz1558

A job interview, hurshy?

10:50 am

Judi

*nibbling pizza with Red*

10:50 am

hurshy

yes, a job interview

10:50 am

Judi

Ooh! Best of luck, Hurshy!

10:51 am

Haz1558

That's better than a police interview. Or an interview with enquiring reporters.

10:51 am

Haz1558

I suppose you're nervous?

10:51 am

redturtlehead

inded. hope it goes well Hush!

10:51 am

crosshair

or a interview with police with inquiring minds....

10:51 am

hurshy

thanks. i think i might really like the job. i'm not so much nervous, just... it is hard not to get my hopes up about getting it, when i am so eager to be away from a certain person in my current setup.

10:52 am

Haz1558

I know. You want to hope but you're scared to.

10:52 am

Judi

lol. Yes, I do recall you contemplating murder against a certain supervisor the other day, Hurshy.

10:52 am

zoozzoom

Hope it goes well for you, Hurshy :-)

10:53 am

hurshy

when i say "really like" the job, i don't mean it's something i would be passionate about, cause i can't really look for that right now, but at least something that i would feel fine doing each day.

10:53 am

crosshair

make the interviewer laugh,when he or she asks,"where do you see yourself in this company in ten years?" answer "your chair"

10:53 am

crosshair

in your chair*

10:53 am

hurshy

oh, they don't ask that sort of thing for admin positions in universities. but i will try to think of something else funny.

10:53 am

MollyL

Judi, AMEN to your comment about The Gong Show and American Idol. Too bad Idol doesn't have Gene Gene The Dance Machine.

10:54 am

Judi

And, isn't that the dummest damn question any interviewer could ask? Other than, "If you were a tree, what type of tree would you be?"

10:54 am

crosshair

ahhh,admin,not the top,not the bottom,but shait coming from both sides...

10:55 am

hurshy

i think interviews are a dumb way to pick people for a lot of jobs, anyway. some, it makes sense. maybe sales, because you want to see how someone interacts with people. but for the type of work i've been doing, if i were hiring for it, i would set some tasks and just see how fast and well they did them!

10:55 am

hurshy

anybody can SAY they would be great at something.

10:55 am

crosshair

i used to hire "on probation " for a week and say "show me"

10:56 am

redturtlehead

I was asked at my last interview "dp you come to work on time?' like what did they think i would say....

10:56 am

hurshy

here, every new hire is on probation for three months, but if you are transferring within the university, then there isn't new probation.

10:57 am

hurshy

well, you never know, red, when asked a direct question, some people's honesty instinct kicks in.

10:57 am

crosshair

well,under 3 months you can toss them anyways without a resulting paperwork nightmare

10:57 am

redturtlehead

I suppose.

10:57 am

Judi

LOL, Red. I'd say, "Nah. I"m a total slacker. I'll get here when the sun has warmed the sky." DUH!

10:58 am

hurshy

i remember in fifth grade, my teacher used to leave the room and tell us not to talk while he was gone. and he would come back and say, stand up if you talked while i was gone. and people would! he would never ask other people to tattle, so there was no threat.

10:58 am

hurshy

and then you'd have to write fifty times that you wouldn't talk when you weren't supposed to.

10:59 am

crosshair

there are factories here that hire "full time" through the temp agency,so the agency gets stuck with all the employee paperwork nonsense,then one day shy of 3 months,they lay off for 2 weeks, issue the R.O.E.then re-hire again

10:59 am

crosshair

asty tactics

10:59 am

crosshair

nasty

11:00 am

jmcnrick

good luck hursh on the interview

11:00 am

Judi

Also, if you can't hire a person after two interviews, you shouldn't be interviewing people. I once had some dork try to call me back for a 4th interview. I had already gotten another job by then.

11:00 am

jmcnrick

i find out a good bit about people in interviews, but it is certainly not the be all end all in figuring out if they are right for the job

11:00 am

hurshy

even two is excessive, really. thanks jmc!

11:01 am

Judi

After the third interview, I was convinced he was just hitting on me. He was asking me questions like, "what kind of books do you like to read?". I named several books and well-known authors. He was clueless to all of them. Good-bye!

11:01 am

jmcnrick

most of the jobs i apply for have hiring committees so 2 interviews are normal

11:02 am

crosshair

then there are others that thrive on temp work,i have a friend who has 7! jobs,all part time,he lives with a daily planner in his hand,blacks out what day or days he wants off during the week and waits for the agency calls to fill the rest of the days.he says "it is great as i have no idea what i am doing from one day to the next"..not for me

11:02 am

jmcnrick

i have decided what i am going to do in the fall after i am no longer employed

11:02 am

hurshy

i was called back for a second interview a while ago and they didn't really seem to have new questions.

11:02 am

redturtlehead

which i jmc?

11:02 am

hurshy

what are you going to do in the fall after you are no longer employed? (retired?)

11:03 am

jmcnrick

th**'s annoying hursh was it at least new people?

11:03 am

redturtlehead

which is? jmc??

11:03 am

11:04 am

redturtlehead

Oh I know Harrisonburg...its a big stop for me when I am driving to see parents.

11:04 am

jmcnrick

it is a great program and will give me a marketable skill

hoarding*

2:11 pm

sammysmom

yup.. several item i got were free and a few luxury things like almonds were 1.00 instead of 3.00 each

2:11 pm

BNLboy

I heard they were making a tv show about people that use a lot of coupons. I heard it word of mouth so I can't confirm it... I wondered why it would be entertaining enough for a tv show

2:12 pm

crosshair

see,if the coupon is for something we do not normally buy,we do not bother

2:12 pm

crosshair

thats all i see,50 cents off canned eel meat..25 cents off cream of wadded beef soup..ugh

2:13 pm

m9f9l

LOL

2:13 pm

sammysmom

it is like a game with me .. i go through the ads item by item . i cut EVery coupon i see and that is why i get somje things that i would never buy.. 50 or 75 % off an item lets us have a few little luxuries that we would not usually gert

2:13 pm

crosshair

or buy 20 cans of tuna and it is only 33 cents a can..dear,we do not need 33 cans of tuna...

2:13 pm

sammysmom

ok cross, what the hell is wadded beef?????

2:14 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, but tuna's not gonna go bad, so you might as well buy it bulk :P

2:14 pm

crosshair

a ld type of soup that campells used to make..but no longer thank god

2:15 pm

m9f9l

I'm waiting for vid to load at youtube. Watching old Deanna Durbin movies!

2:15 pm

crosshair

though the habitant soups were on sale again 4 cans for 2 dollars..have enough soup to last till the rapture

2:15 pm

sammysmom

if i could get tuna at that price, i would... it keeps for years and at that price i would even give an occasional can to the cats, and this family had damned well better get used to tuna casserole... especially since i got pasta at 50 cents a pound instead of the4 usual 1.29

2:15 pm

crosshair

lol sammys mom

2:17 pm

jesdraggon

o's and w's done. and yet still not at nbt. all the 7s done, but not the 8. i'm a bit inconsistent today, i think.

2:17 pm

sammysmom

and yes , i got 30 pounds of the damed pasta... it keeps forever and as i oncde mentioned before, my kids like to go grocery shopping at mom's house... oneof them even brings her own bags

4:07 pm

uusue2

hi, all! stopping in briefly, relaxing before 5 pm class (i am giving them an exam)

4:08 pm

MollyL

She was awesome as Cleopatra. Not sure how accurate it was. I'm sure it was based on some facts.

4:09 pm

cosdem

im c hecking wiki now

4:10 pm

cosdem

wiki says its pretty accurate but the movie left out a few parts but yeah awesome movie

4:10 pm

cosdem

she was a lil bit of a whore tho :P

4:10 pm

MollyL

Oh sure she was. One of the world's most famous. I am a little grossed out that there is talk of a remake with Angelina Jolie.

4:11 pm

MollyL

Hi Sue!

4:15 pm

gapeach

Thanks much, cos.

4:15 pm

cosdem

i absolutely loved the scene of cleopatra's arrival in rome.. it was a spectacle

4:17 pm

MollyL

I never really thought of Cleopatra as a whore. More like a woman who used men's weakness to her advantage.

4:17 pm

cosdem

oh i was joking... she used what she could use to her advantage and more power to her

4:25 pm

o-o

A predator

4:26 pm

jmcnrick

if she had been a man she would have been a wheeler-dealer

4:27 pm

cosdem

i cant find anything that says where her body is buried

4:28 pm

o-o

Men who use women are no different. If you are talking stereotypes, we can go back to Eve.

4:29 pm

cosdem

ok yahoo answers ays her body is unknown

4:29 pm

m9f9l

8 to go

4:31 pm

MollyL

Oh I think she was a powerful wheeler dealer. She figured out what would make men weak and vulnerable and used it to her advantage.

4:31 pm

5:01 pm

crosshair

love the mayan calander and everyone freaking out cause it ends at 2012...i can see a guy with a chisel back then ,smiling thinking "boy this will freak someone out later on"

5:02 pm

godthaab

The calender we use, the Gregorian calendar, was invented in the late 1500s by Pope Gregory. The whole world was slow to catch on to the idea of the calendar, so dates were different in France than they would have been in, say, England. I think this is the calendar, that when the whole Western World decided to adopt, is actually missing some days of the year. You went from say August 10 to the next day, which might have been Oct. 15. I forget how big the jump was, but is was substantial

5:14 pm

jesdraggon

seems to be increasing. used to be we'd average a few less than 1/day over a month. the last few months though, we've been killing left and right. and clients dying too...that's no good.

it should go smooth and fast, crossy. trying to make it as easy as possible all around. i have had a few that were so depressed/low blood pressure we couldn't get a vein though. those we put the euthasol in the abdomen, and it takes 5-10 minutes. but is still pretty quiet and calm, they just get sleepy and then pass out.

6:47 pm

Eva

he had a baby sitter this past weekend, my neighbor, who ended up pouring tequilla on his hand because he couldn't find the alcohol. To give him lots of credit, he took responsibility for having forgotten to pay full attention to Merp while he was petting him

6:48 pm

wildcat17

oops

6:48 pm

Eva

I haven't been babbling much since finding cobra....but this is so much more relaxed

6:48 pm

Eva

you changed your icon

6:48 pm

wildcat17

I play this primarily but go to cobra for the fast rounds

6:48 pm

wildcat17

thinks maybe merp should be the wildkitty

6:49 pm

wildcat17

for spring. it'll go back to my kitty at some point

6:49 pm

Eva

he definitely is that....still going strong at 17

6:49 pm

wildcat17

6:50 pm

Eva

we are supposed to get another major snow storm on Friday....it's just too much!

6:50 pm

6:50 pm

Eva

I mean for a mortal like me

6:50 pm

fuzzybunny

6:53 pm

Eva

not bad-except everyone in Vermont seems to have this ridiculous respiratory virus....it's like our immune systems made it through what they thought was reasonable amount of winter, and now they are giving up the ghost. How's by you lbd?

6:53 pm

7:12 pm

MollyL

Red, there are days when the heating pad is my best friend. Not that I work out as hard as you do, but probably because I should.

7:12 pm

redturtlehead

No one should work out as hard as I do. it is an obsession.

7:14 pm

redturtlehead

I did just try a new Ben and jerrys Flavor. Clusterfluff. Not really ny fav.

7:15 pm

Eva

clusterfluff?! Have you ever been to the plant in Vermont and seen the graveyard for dead flavors?

7:15 pm

redturtlehead

I have not! I heard the resurrected Wavy Gravy...and then killed it off again...

7:16 pm

Eva

7:16 pm

kje

clusterfluff! love the name

7:17 pm

redturtlehead

frankly, I think it is a fail.

7:17 pm

7:17 pm

Not really embarrassing. It's a very twisty word.

Hi Jes, I read about all the animal friends you have had to put down lately. I'm sorry to hear about the hard part of your job.

8:25 pm

Hi Jes, I read about all the animal friends you have had to put down lately. I'm sorry to hear about the hard part of your job.

sorry to hear about your work getting to you.. for me it was a blessing to put my old guy down so that he didn't suffer. I would never want to keep a pet alive for me if they needed to go.. they let you know I think.. he did that for me.

rururocks

hi jm

8:42 pm

rururocks

hi jm
wow.. the chat is wierd

8:42 pm

MollyL

Well Jess, I just was hoping that you get the other side of things. I'm sure it's hard to send so many animal friends out. Actually, as hard as it must be, I think it's an honor to see someone out. Animal or human.

8:43 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, we try to make it the last best thing they can do, but still. it wears ya down
