Need hugs...shitty night at work

[gr8dane_daddy]

Boring safety class for 4 hrs.
Reprimanded two of my operators for major screwups.
Write ups for said employees.
Arguing w/ both of them regarding procedures even though its cut and dry case.
Upset leads who had to report the screwup...


Just a rough night overall.

[bertha katzenengel]

1. Damn.

:hug:

[gr8dane_daddy]

2. thanks...

just finishing up the writeup...I hate this part of my job.

[MissHoneychurch]

3. I am sorry honey

[gr8dane_daddy]

4. Thanks babydoll...

sorry we couldn't chat more tonight.

[MissHoneychurch]

5. Don't worry

today it was you. Monday and Friday it was me who was busy. So don't sweat over it

:hug:

[gr8dane_daddy]

8. Couldn't even have one naughty thread tonight...that sucks!

thanks anyways...

:hug:

[Heidi]

6. Here, have a hug:

:hug: :grouphug:

I hope your Wednesday is better than your Tuesday was. :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

7. Hey Heidi

did you survive your Wednesday shopping?? I bet it is mayham these days :hug:

[Heidi]

10. Yesterday, it wasn't too bad in Bellinzona, but

this afternoon I have to go pick up Ginger's Christmas gifts in Locarno, and that's gonna be a _madhouse_. For some reason, Locarno is still very touristy at this time of year, and the Piazza Grande is gonna be a _zoo_ of shoppers. :scared:

Nice to see you, gf! :hug: :*

[MissHoneychurch]

12. What was the gift for Ginger again?

Uh-oh ... I hope you won't kill anybody in that madhouse :hug:

[Heidi]

14. Ginger is getting a new bed,

a new "lammi" and a toy that's kind of lke a bowl that has a mouse running around the edge. (The toy is difficult to explain; I've only seen it demonstrated by a human, not by a cat. :P )

[MissHoneychurch]

18. Something like that?

[Heidi]

19. Yep, except the one we ordered is stainless steel, I think.

It should last longer than CMW, me or Ginger. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

21. I was about to say

save it for Gingers kids. But then I remembered that it would be rather strange if a young kitten lady came by and said "These are Ginger's kids" :rofl:

[Heidi]

22. Sadly, Ginger won't be having any children.

If I'd known he'd turn out to be such an excellent cat, we would have let him make some babies before his "unfortunate surgical procedure." x(

[MissHoneychurch]

25. I am sure

with Barney it isn't as unfortunate :rofl:

[Heidi]

26. If Barley had children,

I'm afraid CMW, Ginger and I would move far, far away. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

29. LOL

Well, maybe the intelligence jumped over Barley to the next generation ... like with the British royality ... :rofl:

[Heidi]

30. P.S. Do you happen to know the Italian word for "rippenstück"?

CMW's mom is coming to us for Christmas Eve dinner, and I need to get a "rippenstück" from the Italian-speaking butcher! :yoiks:

[MissHoneychurch]

31. The Internet is your friend

la costata = das Rippenstück

[Heidi]

32. Yay!

I tried babelfish to translate "prime rib" to Italian and got "nervatura principale." :rofl: :spray:

[MissHoneychurch]

34. LOL

:spray:

I don't use Babelfish, those translations are always messed up. I love using leo.org. But that doesn't have German - Italian.

[gr8dane_daddy]

9. Thanks...

I hope so too.

:hug:

[Heidi]

11. Thank you for the hug!

I'm gonna need it: facing the Christmas shopping crowds this afternoon for the second day in a row. :scared:

[gr8dane_daddy]

13. Stay strong my sister!

Feeling better now....can't wait to see my baby at home, I'm sure she'll lick a smile back onto my face.

[Heidi]

15. Hahahaha.

You must be living somewhere in the south or southwest. When I was growing up, all my male friends called me either "sis" or "girl." :P

:hug:

[gr8dane_daddy]

16. Austin Texas baby!

Music Capital of the World!!!!!



:pals:

[Heidi]

17. Awrighty, then.

Austin's one of my favorite places in the world. Did you see Mojo Nixon's comeback performance(s) in Austin this year? :D

[gr8dane_daddy]

20. No but I heard about it...

Waiting to hear about my favorite local band, Del Castillo...they put on a hell of a show.

Saw them last at Antone's. Ever checked out a show at the Backyard?

[Heidi]

23. Nah, I haven't been to Austin in ages.

x(

[gr8dane_daddy]

28. Must remedy that soon, Heidi!

I would go to <insert your town name here> in a heartbeat.

[Heidi]

33. My family lives in Oklahoma and Arkansas,

so when we go home next year, I hope to take CMW on a cross-country trip, including Texas. :D

[gr8dane_daddy]

35. Let me know if you need a guide!

I know all the ma and pa BBQ, Tex-Mex, and sushi restaurants around town.

[lizziegrace]

24. Being a supervisor
