hi Dee and good luck with internet tonight

thanks, it has been a frustrating few days... lost internet and TV.. of course no one can tell us whey

12:15 am

ooh, I can imagine how maddening that is. Of course it always happens when you need them the most.

12:16 am

and really, I'm not a violent person

lol

12:16 am

the thoughts just cross my mind at times

I have had similar printer and computer feelings in the past. This internet issue has been ongoing, since our neighbors built a new house next to us. I keep wondering if this is still related to the summer accidental wire cutting. Nothing has worked the same since then, but of course their bills are still huge and expected to be paid.

12:19 am

might be worth having them come out to check on it

Hubby keeps calling...

12:23 am

hmmm, that is frustrating

12:25 am

I'd rather rain than snow

11:36 am

seems to be warmer than usual all over...we are expecting to hit 80 today, well above normal...but i'll take it :)

11:36 am

It's humid though?

11:37 am

In MN it should be snow at this time of the year. This stuff will turn to glare ice overnight; & that won't be fun to deal with (not that I'd be going anywhere then or early in the AM; but still....

11:37 am

80? Oh dear! Where do you live blah?

11:38 am

get domr nano pkes for your shoes. That's what we use

If I would go hiking in this kind of weather, I'd wear them; but I'm not going hiking in weather like this (I have a new knee; don't want to temp fate)

11:39 am

yeah we get some epic ice storms here (not this winter so far, knock on wood)

11:40 am

12:09 pm

thx mary

12:11 pm

im ok. TGIF! suffering from a real dips in energy this afternoon...wish i could take a nap at work!

12:11 pm

eva better not do that you might get fired

12:11 pm

especially with the mood my boss has been in the last few weeks. ::eyeroll::

12:12 pm

oh how lovely eva lol

12:13 pm

i honestly need to have a talk with her. but im torn between the "confront her head-on" tactic and the "ignore it until it goes away" method.

12:14 pm

well if you think it is something that will go away then don't rock the boat

12:15 pm

well, i think i do a pretty amazing job at work -- my customers are extremely happy, and my team is more productive and on-the-ball then we've been in MONTHS. but out of the blue, last week, she started sending me emails telling me that i needed to step up and carry my weight on the team + that i had performance issues.

12:15 pm

she revoked my telework.

12:15 pm

then, shes been out of the office for almost a week.

12:16 pm

yesterday was her first day back, but i didnt have/take the opportunity to talk to her then. i spoke with other managers who report to her + they have ALL said that she was in a mood last week and giving ALL of them a hard time.

12:16 pm

trying to hide from what she said because she knows what she said is wrong?

12:17 pm

that is weird

12:17 pm

eva sounds like you need to meet with her in person and get specific examples of your alleged performance issues

12:17 pm

so now im in this weird limbo place... was she just in a mood + i shouldnt worry about it? or is she honestly thinking im not performing well + i need to address it?

12:18 pm

that would be a good idea

12:18 pm

that blah said

12:18 pm

or even reply to her email asking for examples...better to have it in writing

12:18 pm

well if she hasn't mentioned it again then maybe not?

12:18 pm

agreed with blah

12:19 pm

ive been trying to stay away from emails. she is a very reactionary person, so she will INUNDATE you with emails every time she has a thought.

12:19 pm

document document document (recovering HR person here :))

12:19 pm

Hi EvaN. (I wandered off & made some soup -- from a can)

12:19 pm

oh geez eva

12:19 pm

i generally agree. i try to get everything in writing.

12:19 pm

what kind nef?

12:20 pm

part of me feels like if she hasnt brought it up since shes been back, it might be best to let sleeping dogs lie. but the other part of me wants my stinkin telework back!

12:20 pm

Chicken Noodle soup. (I always add some herbs & spices, so it doesn't taste canned)

12:21 pm

eva wait until Monday

12:21 pm

nef ohh not feeling well?

12:21 pm

i suppose you could let it go this once and chalk it up to her mood, but if it happens again you need to get specific, measurable examples...

12:22 pm

You are in a tough spot, EvaN; if she says anything again about it; I would definitely ask for examples & document like blah said

12:22 pm

this isnt a first, unfortunately. in the past, though, i was really aware that i had improvements to make. this time, though, shes really caught me off-guard. but its not AT ALL unusual for her to have a thought (from who knows where) and jump on it like a dog with a bone.

12:22 pm

No, MLF, I'm fine; it's just a rainy day here & I think soup feels good

12:23 pm

soup is always good :)

12:23 pm

nef yes always good to have soup on grey days:)

12:23 pm

i made a HUGE pot of soup last weekend. need to freeze some of it. Tuscan Sausage soup. YUM!

12:23 pm

i will be back

12:24 pm

Wow. Is there a chance you could check with her supervisor & see if they know what you might be doing wrong?

12:24 pm

ugh that is annoying and exhausting to deal with eva

12:24 pm

EvaN, that sounds delicious! I'm just lazy today

12:25 pm

he is...totally unplugged. he basically has her to do all the dirty work he doesnt want to do. so he will NEVER reprimand/undermine her. because then HE would have to do stuff.

12:27 pm

O.M.G. Not any help at all then.

12:29 pm

i know. very frustrating!

12:30 pm

what kind of work do you do, EvaN?

12:33 pm

IT support on a government contract.

12:34 pm

okay; that sounds technical enough that I haven't a clue about it.

12:35 pm

we work FOR the feds, but we arent feds ourselves.

12:36 pm

okay; it's the IT thing that makes me feel dumb. :-)

12:37 pm

information technology!

12:37 pm

My DH was a Federal employee for 26 years; so I do know a bit about that (but not enough about government contract stuff)

12:38 pm

Yep; IT is something I still don't understand enough about to say anything .

12:39 pm

lots of folks on our contract maintain the websites and build/maintain the operating systems. im sort of a non-technie in a techie world...

12:39 pm

I have a mac; DH has a PC; when he has troubles, we call our son to help (which is quite often, because he keeps downloading malware)

sounds like us...we

sounds like us...we've had to rely on the kids to fix the pc, mac, install netflix, etc

1:40 pm

im convinced there are NOT 58 words left in this grid. the stats are just WRONG today. ::pouts::

I would guess I need to refresh if you see a balloon (I left my computer on with Babble open on a page)

2:27 pm

Nope, I still see the periwinkle flower....

click on her icon to open her profile

2:30 pm

it is my birthday today. my sisters was Feb 17 and I took her out for lunch then

happy birthday peri!

2:32 pm

ty blah. I am 39 and holding, just like Jack Benny :)

2:32 pm

stuck with 41 left

2:33 pm

bl

2:34 pm

Happy Birthday, peri!

2:35 pm

(sorry if I missed you, had a phone call)

fade

oooops

2:40 pm

I have that one, blah; how about a "clue" for another word? ;-)

lol nef i thought i already had it too :)

given my track record nef i'm sure i will

2:41 pm

LOL! Don't worry, I do that all the time too! :-)

:)

2:42 pm

I keep wondering why I try to form words from tiles that are already blacked out though. I'm having problems with that today

lol i do that too

2:47 pm

I have 55 left. Is there a list today? Is Lickety back? (Does anyone know what happened to him that he wasn't here earlier this week?

2:47 pm

ha nks

2:47 pm

hi wht. How are you?

2:47 pm

Ooops. And hello all.

2:48 pm

I am fine. My typing, not so much

lickety is up

hi wht

2:48 pm

thanks, blah

lol almost just did it again

2:50 pm

don't sweat the typing; wht; I don't know many people who are perfect at it (& I'm definitely not even good at typing myself!)

2:53 pm

If if AWOL is a word, why isn't SWAK?

good question! the dictionary is pretty random

2:57 pm

That's a *nice* way of putting it!

hah!

2:58 pm

I would guess the inclusion of anagrams depends on common usage. AWOL... Absent With Out Leave...is a fairly common military anagram. SWAK...Sealed With A Kiss...is random venacular, not used as much.

i believe these are abbreviations, not anagrams. anyway as i said...random

or acronyms...

3:03 pm

Sorry, I meant acronyms. Thanks for the correction.

:)

3:04 pm

what does smh mean?

3:05 pm

shaking my head

3:06 pm

Right now I'm too sleepy to notice the difference. I think I need a short nap before I pick up my grandson (my son just called & asked me to as he just got hit with a pile of work

3:07 pm

ah...

3:07 pm

duh-oh.. I just couldn't figure that out

3:08 pm

i have no idea what nbt means

3:09 pm

no blank tiles

3:09 pm

ooooh thanks

3:15 pm

It's too bad that the help section doesn't include all the "shortcuts" people use here...nbt...nbs...hagd...smh...fp...a\nnd more I can't think of. I'm sure it confuses people.

3:17 pm

I try to spell things out except laughing out loud

3:17 pm

and as much as I'd like to laugh my ass off (or at least reduce it) I don't do LMAO either

3:22 pm

It seems to be too much trouble for people to actually spell out entire words anymore. Sad, but true.

3:31 pm

everyone is in a hurry these days

well, it's also b/c the "keyboards" on smartphones are such a PIA to type on LOL

3:42 pm

That is true too

3:42 pm

And we must always be communicating on our smart phones all the time.

3:42 pm

I pick up the keys for my new house in one hour

yay ruru!

yes molly if i'm out and about i need to keep an eye on my email, otherwise i use my laptop

3:43 pm

*Rolls the keg up onto Ru's new patio*

3:47 pm

not everyone has a smart phone, me included. My dear hubby has,but is not addicted to it!

3:47 pm

Very happy today

3:48 pm

good luck ruru in your new house.

3:48 pm

Oh boy. Party at ruru's tonight!

3:50 pm

Pool party!!!!

3:50 pm

sorry I cannot be there ... too far.

3:52 pm

I am sending my fireworks to the party.

4:00 pm

Good luck ruru and I wish you all the best in your new home,but I am afraid I have to retire to my snuggly bed in a while.Goodnight everyone.

Nice of NY Met/Cincinnati Red pitcher Tom Seaver to show up in the grid.

7:31 pm

Howdy folks

7:32 pm

I'm brining that clue in Dorens :D

7:32 pm

oh good. I'm glad it's doing someone some good.

7:34 pm

and don't bother trying kashi. it might be a hit at the supermarket, but not here. Missing one K and would love to find it without listing. unlikely, though,

7:34 pm

Ha, bringing, rather than brining :-D stubby finger typing

7:35 pm

10:07 pm

YAY, Jindigo!!! WTG!!!

10:09 pm

Hi, Nef--Did you get my booklet? Send me an email sometime. jj

10:14 pm

Hi RB; I did send you an email; & I got your booklet too (I loved it)

10:15 pm

when did you send the email? I haven't had one that I know of!!

10:15 pm

(Check your email over yesterday or today)

10:15 pm

Maybe it's in your junk mail box?

10:15 pm

sometimes emails get delayed--it's odd. Or don't come at all!

10:16 pm

True; my stepmother & I used to say they went through China when they got delayed)

10:17 pm

even when my DH forwards something to me from his computer to mine (a distance of less than 5 feet) it can take 1/2 hour at times

10:18 pm

I'll look. For quite a while I wasn't playing Babble, now I am again--I get half done then quit and get to work. But I'v noticed some things while I was gone. Such as Crossy has almost quit talking.

10:19 pm

But is he on, or does he just forget to close the page when helices his computer?

10:20 pm

I'm forever walking away from my computer with a page open; then it looks like I'm signed in but I'm not here.

10:21 pm

He comes on and says hello. He talks alot about technical advice. And a little more today and yesterday abt the weather. Bu 6 months ago or more he was busy tutoring and having an enjoyable time, it seemed. I suppose I can ask him. I realize UUSue's husband died--and maybe another husband, the one n France-or he's how in a nursing home--

10:21 pm

How's the book coming along? I can imagine that by now you may be either very tired of writing it; or very sad that you'll finally be finished.

10:22 pm

I knew about uusue's husband; but I missed hearing about the one in France.

10:23 pm

No I'll be glad when its done--the materal is still vital and interestng but it's ecome an albatross. I hope to have it finished by end of May so I'll have a summer finally.

10:23 pm

(BTW, it took me nearly 2 weeks to write the email to you; short attention span and not on as much as usual

10:24 pm

I have so many other things that have been postponed, and I want to come to Mlps again, and go to the lake, and lots of things.

10:24 pm

I hope it's finally done then so you can have a nice break & enjoy your summer for a change.

10:25 pm

I did hear you had --what--knee--hip? replacement. Mostly I lurk.

10:26 pm

If you do come; let's plan to get together over lunch or dinner, okay?

10:27 pm

nef is hip already

10:27 pm

I had my hip replaced 4 years ago; I had the opposite knee replaced in November. The knee is much worse that a hip; (& the short attention span is due to the effects of anesthesia)

10:27 pm

I'd like that. Need to see my cousins, and otjher friends, some of Demi's friends keep in touch.

10:27 pm

I mean look at her hair :D

10:27 pm

hi ruru; how are you doing tonight?

10:28 pm

happy.. thanks

10:28 pm

Nice to hear, ruru! :-)

10:28 pm

hi ruru, I am always glad when you come on, though you don't make as many jokes as usual. BUT, are you in your new house?

10:28 pm

:D.. got the keys to my new home

10:29 pm

I always make jokes RB

10:29 pm

how are your cousins doing?

10:29 pm

i'll start moving this weekend (to start anyways)

10:29 pm

WOO HOO ruru!!! Congratulations on the new house!

10:30 pm

Debby had one knee and then the other--and the second time it got infected and she's had a slow recovery. But is doing ok now.

10:30 pm

yay me

10:30 pm

what is your house like, guru?

10:31 pm

I'm going to sign off, have some work to do before Bed. Jenniofer, I'll look for your email. Goodnight to you and ruru. poof.

10:31 pm

RB, Debby is darn brave. If I need the other knee done; I'd think long & hard about it before I'd do it again

10:32 pm

Niters, RB. I will resend it again (if that would help)

10:34 pm

stayed long enough to hear this--I do hear it's a tough op, but great are the rewards. So far I have no problem of that sort, but shouldnt be at the lake alone anymore. Let me know if you want a Vermont vacation! hven't looked for the email yet--if I don't respond, send it agin. now really poof.

10:34 pm

RB, if yo're still here; it was stuck in the cloud! Not sure why; but iCloud had it when I checked to see that it went through!

10:35 pm

ok, haven't quite shut down yet. I'll prob answer tomorrow.

10:36 pm

okay, I did send it & it says its gone now. Good night, RB. Take Care of yourself!

10:42 pm

ruru, are you still here?

10:58 pm

yep

10:59 pm

I hear you have a house -- congrats, ru! :-)

11:00 pm

so, are you telling anyone what your house is like yet?

11:00 pm

thanks une.. I'm really happy.. going to adopt a second dog. (a rescue)

11:00 pm

That's really neat, ru!

11:00 pm

cool! :-)

11:00 pm

I did nef.. it's a modest house.. vineyard view.. 4 bedroom two bath

11:01 pm

(I'm trying to talk DH into letting me get another dog too; but so far he says no... :-(

11:01 pm

nicely redone.. very clean and turnkey

11:01 pm

ah.. I get to make my own decisions now

11:01 pm

It sounds lovely, ruru

11:01 pm

LOL!

11:02 pm

it's perfect for me at this stage of my life

11:03 pm

what; the house or the making your own decisions? ;-)

11:04 pm

about dogs. .I can have a half dozen if I so choose :D

11:04 pm

I have had five at one time and that's a load

11:04 pm

now two sounds right

11:06 pm

We had to put ours down last year in January; DH just doesn't want another one now. I miss having a dog around (& yes, *I* was the one who took care of it all of the time; not DH)

11:07 pm

that doesn't sounds fair to me nef

11:08 pm

Me either, guru. But I have to follow his lead on this right now; if I ever get really mad at him -then I might just go get one from the pound....

11:10 pm

I'm going to go lie down for a bit.. kind of a rough headache for me

11:10 pm

good to see you nef

11:11 pm

Sorry you have a headache, ru; go take care of yourself

11:12 pm

I have 35 words left; and my eyes are getting very tired too. Take care; & good night.
