Ruby, it is no fun when you quit chatting just because you mistakenly put a word or words in chat. People do it all the time. No reason to cut out.

5:12 am

Thanks, Molly! You are always very forggiving toward me and l appreciate it.

5:13 am

lt's freeezing here, even had snow on the mountains last night, but aside from that and the awful pollen, l'm feeling surprisingly well.

5:14 am

Locals always say not to plant before 15 May and l alwaays scoff, bug they are right, old wives' tale or not

5:14 am

Spring is sssllloooww coming this year and before long it will be hot summer.

5:15 am

Fortunately, my tomato plantt arree on the deck and onee of the flats alfeeady has flowers

5:16 am

Too many typos!

5:18 am

Nice-sized grid today, at least for me

5:29 am

I have given up on vegetables. I am all flowers this year. I never have very good luck with growing vegetables in pots.

5:31 am

I do have one large pot devoted to herbs and they are doing well.

5:33 am

Since l can no longer use the "potager" in the bottom part of the garden, l just grow tomatoes on the deck. Tomatoes in the stores aren't worth eating.

5:33 am

And herbs are pretty to grow in pots.

5:34 am

l used to be so ambitious, but 20 years have taken their toll

5:36 am

Since tomatoes need so much care, it is better having them close at hand and the amount of water they require is phenominal.

5:38 am

6:11 am

Great food there, l imagine. Good fish, gr*** sauces

6:12 am

We have rented a beaufiful villa for the week.

6:12 am

As the crow flies, not very far, and from Marseilles, l think there's a train to Annecy

6:13 am

busy day yesterday Iguess?

12:05 pm

:D TY

12:05 pm

ra 5/14?

12:06 pm

gee whiz, MLF wants a clue (HINT)

12:07 pm

Quiet dinner out with family. Matt and I worked on decorating letter G for grandson. Taught him how to chain in crochet--and he's a lefty. I had to show him with my left and that was comical.

12:07 pm

How did your day go Kate?

12:08 pm

huh?/

12:08 pm

quiet, still coll but drying out in the yard... is pent most of the day very quietly... regrouping energy

12:08 pm

golly gee.... HINT

12:09 pm

add a vowel to the irate word MLF

12:09 pm

teaching crochet "sinister" would be the end of me..you must h ave great patience

12:09 pm

still no idea

12:10 pm

ty

12:10 pm

waht mymuse said

12:10 pm

lol got it from that ty kate

12:11 pm

lol I showed him single crochet to practice but I couldn't do lefty. Told him to watch youtube for lefties. Not sure if he tried it yet or not, but he got the hang of chaining pretty quick.

12:12 pm

there must be youtube for everything by now! My aunt taught me when I was young too.

12:14 pm

There really is a youtube for everything. We had to buy a new fob for the Prius as my hub lost his. You can pay a fortune to have the dealer reprogram it or you can do it yourself. But it's complex! Thank goodness for the youtubers who posted precise videos of what is called the "chicken dance" that you need to perform to program a new fob!

12:14 pm

what was the decorating of the letter G about mymuse? are we talking macaroni?

12:14 pm

well not everything ... I've been hunting for free patterns for borders besides the typical shell and crab stitch.

12:15 pm

Wow Natasha that's great. When Matt was asked how he would do something on the job, he said he'd figure it out or look up on you tube lol.

12:16 pm

I swear they purposely make new tech non-user-friendly, so you musy pay through the nose... :( Glad you found out how to do it Nat.

12:16 pm

it's actually quite hilarious, involves opening and slamming the driver's side door in quick succession several times and inserting and removing the fob, all in a complex choreography!

12:17 pm

go back to your crochet discussion! I'm learning a lot from it

12:17 pm

Kate, letter G is for Grayson's room. His Mom wanted white with blue and grey stars. So we are adding our little twist to it -- some grey stars will have glitter for twinkle little star.

12:18 pm

pretyy fuzzy still.

12:19 pm

That sounds nice. for his door or wall... the room is blue and grey?

12:20 pm

The ridiculous repetition msut be so that it can

12:20 pm

I am going to tease her and say his room is 50 shades of grey, except floor rug is beige and grey. lol

12:21 pm

t be reprogrammed accidentally Nat? Sounds funny to watch the neighbours must think you are mad

12:21 pm

amusing for sure lol Nat.

12:21 pm

haha mymuse... I see another redecoration coming after you say that ;)

12:22 pm

I suppose that must be it... or else it's a dastardly plot by the dealers to prevent folks from programming fobs on their own

12:22 pm

I suppose that must be it... or else it's a dastardly plot by the dealers to prevent folks from programming fobs on their own

12:22 pm

Amtrak network likes repeating everything... sorry!

12:23 pm

tend toward dastardlu plot to make money...because people lose clickers....or need extras

12:23 pm

the chog has been slow on uptake of comments...

12:24 pm

loved today's grid though, perfect for a train ride!

12:24 pm

They wanted $150 to program the fob. So we got, you could say, motivated!

12:25 pm

that's pure BS Nat..what a damn scam

12:25 pm

Oh the gr5!!!

12:26 pm

:D

12:35 pm

enable needs to get with it: internet is a word lol

12:36 pm

Not sure, but think enable is static - no longer updated?

12:37 pm

Hmmm...maybe Dr. G can wave his magic wand.

12:37 pm

and suddenly a 200 word grid turns into 300? poof!

12:37 pm

:)

12:38 pm

he'd probably have to tie into a different dictionary... and that would require permissions (?)

12:40 pm

Or he could add another free dictionary as reference point. Not sure how easy/difficult that would be but we know our Dr. G. is a genius ;)

12:41 pm

He probably could but.. he has another iron in the fire... he mentioned not long ago he was working on something else.... probably won't do much with Babble as there will be something new and better in the pipeline

12:43 pm

sounds interesting ... hope it is puzzle related.

12:44 pm

He wasn't specific, but it did sound like another word game. Now that Babble and Sudolu are free, it would be nice fjor him to have a better revenue stream for all his work.

12:44 pm

Babble is truly a relic, in computer land.

12:46 pm

but very enjoyable jsut as it stands. I like that it's not on FB and the community is wonderful.

12:48 pm

Yes. How quaint! We can't Like each other's posts, we can't edit, etc. Sort of like the Genie and Compuserve message boards of yore.

12:48 pm

It would be nice to be able to edit... :/

12:52 pm

taking a break cya later Kate

12:53 pm

We don't really need to like posts. Any subsequent comments reflect "likes"

12:53 pm

Bye K. :)

12:53 pm

it would be nice to edit out all the offensive what shall I say nationality words

12:55 pm

you mean like "dago"? There are lots of "offensive words,but as long as they're real words, I think they should stay. I am not fond of the C word, but don't think it would be right to take it out.

12:56 pm

words like wops and yids

12:57 pm

the 'n' words is really but luckily that isnt allowed

12:58 pm

Not sure, but think that is allowed Deeha.. not that I like it.

12:58 pm

wow I just assumed......

12:59 pm

just tried it... not found in puzzle therefore it is in dictioary.

12:59 pm

kate will take a grid from 200 to 300 lol

1:00 pm

if it is a word, it's here... except for all the "it is so a wrod wrods ..." and pklenty of silly non-words too *sigh*

1:01 pm

Hi Dee, hi MLF... ;) see? I'm not awake yet.

1:01 pm

kate I can spell too just cant type most times lol

1:02 pm

haha, you are not alone ;)

1:02 pm

Have you come across musician Tim Minchin? He sings about offensive hurtful words and the worst has 2 g's an I and n N anE and an R and the chorus is 'only a ginger can call another ginger ginger'!! (in spite of Prince Harry gingers have the mickey taken out of them over here!)

2:30 pm

Hi Habes :)

2:30 pm

Hi.

2:32 pm

Are you enjoying nice weather wh5 you are?

2:34 pm

I decided not to complain about the weather once it got warm. It's raining but it's not cold so that's good enough for me.The winter was way too long.

2:35 pm

It was a very nasty winter all over the world, it seems. Will also try to keep my beak buttoned abut heat and humidity (if it ever arrives) We have treetop height fog here now - and it's 3:30! It refuses to burn off

2:36 pm

trees still in bud here - not a leaf in sight, but they are ready to pop any time now...

2:37 pm

We're a bit further along than that. Lots of green.

2:40 pm

It's late here... but a few tr4s are trying... green to be seen spradically. Can't wait!

2:40 pm

good grief...sporadiacally

2:43 pm

I'm thinkin' there's nothing wrong with Spicy

4:55 pm

Spicy is good. Much better than bland and stodgy.

5:09 pm

The weather people are on RUN FOR YOUR LIFE weather alerts for severe storms and possible tornadoes.

We had a meteorologist here we called "Chicken Little" because the sky was always falling.

5:12 pm

I think the weather people over do it a bit because most people are dumb as can be and will get out and drive in anything.

Possibly. We had a tornado warning for our county last week, but they didn't sound the sirens so I just continued with what I was doing, but then again, I'm an Okie.

5:26 pm

mag....maybe the meteorologist was saying "This guy is falling."(LOL)

LOL aeb! I'm surprised he wasn't falling down. He would be on air for 7 or 8 hours, never taking a break

5:33 pm

;)

6:32 pm

Praise be. No tornadoes and we are all spared from the sky falling, except for a few intense thunderstorms that are usual for this time of year. Everyone can come out of their fallout shelters now.

6:35 pm

Any hints for the re 4/5 next to the plural of a color?

we have had a cool spring here in Maine...

I love the smell of lilacs and cut some for the house but they start smelling sickeningly sweet very quick which is disappointing

yes it's been cool here for quite a bit but is finally coming around, perhaps we won't have spring weather, just go right to summer

7:20 pm

i just hope we don't have a cold or rainy summer after the long winter we had...

that would be cruel & unusual punishment :-(

7:22 pm

exactly!

well I'm off, enjoy your evening

9:00 pm

yes, i mean his first name, it is spelled just fine

9:04 pm

9:06 pm

rhett

9:07 pm

Thank You. I've never seen or read that as a person's name except in Gone with the AWind

9:08 pm

yeah, it's certainly not common

9:08 pm

and memorable

9:10 pm

Hi Shirlockc; how are youths days?

9:10 pm

i just got canned from my contract gig, 1.5 months before the contract ends

9:10 pm

so i logged onto babble to take my mind off things

9:11 pm

you're prolly not expecting me to be so direct in my answer

9:11 pm

sorry shirlockc

9:11 pm

Oh, NO! Sorry to hear that!

9:11 pm

anything we can do to help?

9:11 pm

i don't understand it, i thought things were going well

9:12 pm

What kind of work do you do?

9:12 pm

recruiter had no real context of this

9:12 pm

project manager

9:12 pm

so were you hoping to have another contract or like a permanent non-contract job?

9:13 pm

i was supposed to convert to FT if it worked out

9:13 pm

so you got "canned;" do you miss out on a bonus or something?

9:13 pm

DANG!!

9:13 pm

i had my weekly with the manager and had NO indications that things weren't working out

9:13 pm

so they probably are just being cold-hearted cheapskates

9:14 pm

cheaper to just get another contract person

9:14 pm

the recruiter called to say i'm not to go in tomorrow

9:14 pm

nothing to do with you

9:14 pm

even to get my stuff

9:14 pm

oh you don't even get to finish the contract?

9:14 pm

when CAN you get your stuff??

9:14 pm

but this position was paid for for the 6 moths

9:14 pm

*months

9:14 pm

And you can't get your stuff? WOW!!!

9:15 pm

the recruiter is going in to pick up my stuff

9:15 pm

is what i don't understand

9:15 pm

i had no indicators, it

9:15 pm

so weird

9:15 pm

it's like bolt out of the blue

9:15 pm

That must really hurt, too

9:15 pm

i thought i had a good relationship with the manager

9:16 pm

i was fitting in, making a contribution

9:16 pm

at least i thought i was

9:16 pm

yeah, that's definitely really hard to deal with, emotionally

9:17 pm

all he said to the recruiter is that it's not working out and i wasn't working to expectations

9:17 pm

which is soooo weird as i did everything he asked

9:17 pm

and he never gave me any indications in our one on one that i wasn't doing my job

9:18 pm

I have a friend who is an IT specialist; he just got hired into a new job (the company hired 6 others with him) & then they laid off 10 of the senior staff - including the guy who was orienting him. Now they hired 3 guys in India instead!

9:18 pm

Do you think they are doing something like that - hiring cheaper workers elsewhere?

9:19 pm

i don't see how as project management is not usually an off shorable job

9:20 pm

there was another person who would not work with me -- her problem, not mine -- and the boss ack. that

9:20 pm

she wasn't working well with anyone

9:20 pm

Yeah; I suppose that's true (I know nothing about what a project manager is or does)

9:21 pm

but even if it's because of that, i thought i had a good enough relationship with the manager that he'd at least tell me during our one on one

9:22 pm

i don't think i'll ever find out why

9:22 pm

*sympathetic hugs*

9:23 pm

more time for babble, no more commuting <-- trying to be +ve

9:23 pm

Well, talk with your recruiter and try to get your confidence back. It sounds like a problem with *that* person, not you.

9:23 pm

i really don't think it was me

9:24 pm

If that boss could be that 2 faced; you *really* don't need that place!

9:25 pm

i thought he was a good boss too

9:25 pm

hi all. need to get half way.

9:25 pm

am way off.

9:26 pm

But if he can't tell you that there's a problem, that's bad

9:28 pm

So sorry to hear that, Shir. Nothing like that should come as a surprise. That is just bad management. There should have been discussions with you if there was an issue.

9:29 pm

well, i was a contractor so why would he spend the time "talking" to me -- except i thought we had that relationship, but maybe that was just my POV

9:29 pm

I agree, ori

9:30 pm

i don't know anything anymore

9:30 pm

i had 1.5 months left in the contract, i'm not even supposed to go back tomorrow to get my stuff

9:30 pm

the recruiter is going to pick up the stuff for me

9:32 pm

you said the contract was paid for for the 6 months? Does that mean the recruiter was paid or you were?

9:33 pm

the position was for 6 months, so the recruiter gets paid if i get paid -- i think that's how it works

9:33 pm

was a 6 month contract and i'm pretty sure it was funded for the next fiscal year too

9:34 pm

what a pain.

9:37 pm

hello friends

9:38 pm

So, can you rest & regroup for a few days or a week or 2 & then go find another job?

9:38 pm

(Or will the recruiter help you find one?)

9:38 pm

what choice do i have?

9:38 pm

Hi Trifi

9:38 pm

hoping the recruiter has more context and openings

9:39 pm

hello.

9:39 pm

hello.

9:39 pm

assuming that the recruiter is going to want to work with me

9:39 pm

sounds like you are in a bit of a pickly, shirl

9:39 pm

sorry to hear that!

9:40 pm

yeah, it's a big -ve surprise to me

9:41 pm

i'll talk to you guys tomorrow, since i'll be playing again

9:42 pm

I find looking for a job incredibly stressful. I have blanketed the south shore with my resume, and I cant even get an interview

9:42 pm

You know where to find us, anyway!

9:42 pm

What kind of job are you looking for Trifi?

9:42 pm

teacher

9:43 pm

south shore of... ?

9:43 pm

boston

9:43 pm

Well whatever you do, don't move to AZ, or any of those states that don't pay living wages!

9:44 pm

hmm, that's worrisome

9:44 pm

no kidding, huh? I he4 of all these places with teacher shortages, and here? I can't even get a foot in

Like Oklahoma. We are a national embarrassment,

9:45 pm

I was raised by a schoolteacher; it's darn hard work!

9:46 pm

and those states don't want to pay living wages to some of the people who mold our future generations!

9:46 pm

take care folks

9:46 pm

10:18 pm

Shirl, if you're still here, request a formal exit interview - in writingThey are quite common now. (and cc human resources at the company you were contracted to and the recruiter) you might get some answers.
