sj, do you have local listserv you could post on looking for a kid that wanted to earn a few bucks shoveling your walk? We also have a CASA de Maryland where we can hire workers to shovel, etc. [link] at reasonable rates.

There doesn't seem to be anything like that in my town. When I was a kid teenagers would go door to door offering to shovel for money. Does that not happen anymore or are the teenagers in my town just lazy?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Kids used to come over and shovel my drive for cash. Now they don't come by at all. Maybe they're all grown with jobs. Maybe that annoying kid who keeps running across my yard knocking my spacers over could come do some work. Yeah, right.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Yep, it's a mycin. We're gonna try making sure that she has something solid in her gut before the next dose.
And, agh, Sparky, that's awful. Booze, on management's dime, should be an absolute requirement for a lunch like that.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I've been running myself ragged and trying to keep up in here, but failing. I'm sending much ~ma to anyone who needs it, whether good or bad. May the sickly ones feel better soon, and those in good health continue to be that way. Work needs to stop being a pain in the ass for everyone.
Hi! I've missed you people.

I'm one with Maria. I can't keep up right now, but I love and miss you all. ~ma to all who need it. I hope to catch up this weekend.
The combination of PMS and my work schedule changing from me having to be in at 7 a.m. to having to be in at 6 a.m. this week has turned me into a snarling ragemonster. I'm trying to limit human contact as much as possible.

Jeez and I complain about 8-5 instead of 9-5.

That is horrible. I don't think I could do it.

Sounds miserable, amyth. 6am is a nonfunctional hour.
