Good morning Lounge

[MissHoneychurch]

How are you today?

Today is my last work day this week :woohoo:

Tomorrow morning I can sleep in a bit before I start getting my condo ready for my family visit. The last couple of days were very long with working both jobs.
Yesterday I had a customer here at the library who was so presumptuous, it is unbelievable. After she finished reading her books here, she comes into the office. Stands behind the computer from a co-worker and looks at the screen. Then asks "What is this?" I told her it is none of her business, it is non-public. She then says very loud and annoyed "Excuse ME!!" and stomps off :wow: She is now my number one "favorite" customer. I am still in shock over this behavior.

Picture of the Day



PS: I just did spell check. None of the words were written wrong :bounce:

1. Good morning

I should be going to sleep soon. I ended up drawn into late-night programming. The Ed Show, Daily Show/Colbert Report, then The Soup, and now I'm watching Bill Maher stand-up. Nice to see you. :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

5. Good morning Jon

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

If all late-night programs are that much fun to watch no wonder you stayed up :)

Nice to see you too :hug:

[texanwitch]

2. Good morning.

It is 5:30 here.

I have been watching Lost all evening, yea Hulu.

Later today we are going to go out for Mexican food, yes

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Good morning texanwitch

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

By now it is 1.30pm here. I just got back from my lunch. Went to a steakhouse with a friend. I had me some spareribs :9

[SalmonChantedEvening]

3. Good Morning Miss Honeychurch :)

:hi: :hug: :loveya: :pals:

Urgh! We have quite a few customers who make us crazy. They make you wish you'd never answered the phone. :grr:

I need to run some errands before work, so I'll be gone early today.

Have a wonderful time with your family, and enjoy the weekend!! :D

[MissHoneychurch]

7. Good morning SCE

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I hope I scared here away .... but I doubt it. She will be back x(

I wish you a wonderful day and not many crazy customers :D

:hug:

4. Good Morning MissHoneychurch

I'm tired and going to bed soon. I hope your day off goes well :)

I have a friend in Germany that just loves her IKEA for her apartment. I don't remember if she did her kitchen through them or not, but I was always impressed with the idea of non-built-in cabinetry and counters. Although I've never had a place where I could redesign the kitchen, I have figured it would be great to take your $10,000 kitchen with you when you moved. So, I've liked the concept ever since I saw IKEA kitchens were done the same way. The apartment/condo supplies the connections and you supply everything else :)

It doesn't seem to be a concept that's used in this country...

So, what are we looking at in that lovely photo?

[MissHoneychurch]

10. Good morning kentauros

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I bought some furniture at my condo by IKEA (bed, closet, TV table). Depending on the quality, they are useful. The hardest part are to put the furniture together.

But I never bought my kitchen at IKEA. But at hardware stores and then you had to put the cabinets together yourself too. Now in my new condo there was a kitchen in already, so I sold my old one. Could have taken it with me though too.

You know, there are pluses and minuses to both versions. Built in closets and movable closets.

The picture was taken in Prato, Italy :)

[kentauros]

35. The desk I'm using is from IKEA.

Basically, just a slab with four metal posts for legs. It suits my purposes for now. The rest of my IKEA stuff consists of five sets of shelves. I need to get one of those tall & skinny CD/DVD shelves, too :)

I can understand there being minuses to non-built-in, too. You just don't see even the option of it over here. Not sure why...

Well, I'm staying up now. Doing laundry instead of sleeping ;)

[MissHoneychurch]

42. Well

we don't have the option of built-in closets :rofl:

Ahh ... you mean the Billy shelves. I have two of the CD shelves. Pretty usefull.

If you are done with your laundry come on over to my place. I am sure I find something for you to do :)

[kentauros]

48. I'm sure you would find something for me to do

:P

However, I have seven boxes of books in my car awaiting my delivery to the post office, and two more boxes of miscellaneous stuff here. All is going to my past-wife (recently created ex ;)) and I'll be rid of that stuff in my life. We're still friends, but I need to get her remaining stuff out of here so I can get my accumulated stuff in order, too.

Not having built-in closets would take some getting used to, but not too much. I love a good armoir :)
Now, I'd go so far as to have an IKEA house so I could pack it up and take it with me, too :D

[MissHoneychurch]

51. I sure would

:D

Good armoir like that?





And no, this closet is not from IKEA ... LOL

[kentauros]

53. Is the armoir what's on the immediate right?

Because if you posted two images, the first one didn't show up.

I take it there are not openings to Narnia in yours...

[MissHoneychurch]

54. Here is the first pic again

Hope it shows now.



I never read Narnia, so I don't know what the openings are. The bookshelves?

[kentauros]

55. Well, I even tried copying the image address into another tab

and still got nothing. Don't worry about; it happens sometimes, especially as I use Opera. (Oh, now it shows up when I hit "preview". Typical!) That's a beautiful armoir! Are the side doors for hanging things or is it more shelves? I'm only familiar with them for clothing, so it's cool to see the glass doors and bookshelves :)

In the book "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" the opening is inside the wardrobe. In other books, it changes to a painting, some magical rings and even a train car.

[MissHoneychurch]

56. More shelves

behind the side doors :) I have my DVDs in there. And behind the glass door in the middle I have my big show-off books :D

[kentauros]

57. That's a good way to do the DVD shelves.

They don't need to be in open shelves for all to see, unlike the show-off books :)

Was it always meant for shelves, or did you convert it, or buy it converted? I'm just not aware of an armoir for anything but clothing. Then again, I don't know a lot about specialized furniture, either...

[MissHoneychurch]

58. We have this armoir

in our family since I was a kid. I remember books in there but also at one point we had tableware and glasses in there.


Btw, I wanted to tell you that I love your sigline. Engelbert Humperdinck, the guy who composed the opera "Hansel and Gretel" :D

[kentauros]

59. It's always nice to keep family furniture items

:D I have a few things like that as well...

And you are the second person to mention that about Englebert Humperdinck, the original one ;) I hadn't known that before, though I certainly remember the children's story.

Ever heard the P.D.Q. Bach opera "Hansel and Gretel and Ted and Alice"? :D
http://www.schickele.com/shoppe/pdqrec/intimate.htm

[MissHoneychurch]

60. Here is a video from the opera

at least a tiny bit. YouTube has some videos

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScScPM1MjPY&feature=related


I never heard of the P.D.Q. Bach opera. Will look at it at home.

Now it is time to leave work (way later than I planned). Thanks for the nice chat. Have a great rest of the day!!

[kentauros]

61. You have a great day, too!

I'll watch the video when I get back from the post office :)

Here's one of PDQ Bach, for information and enjoyment :D

8. Good Afternoon, MissH!

Sounds like you had an interesting time with that customer. :hug:


I survived both of my first days of class this semester - it's hard going from a full time job to classes after work - so I understand what you are going through with your second job. I'm tired today.

[MissHoneychurch]

13. Good morning blueraven

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

How are the classes? Is that annoying lady there again too?

Amazingly I am not too tired. Of course I had my troubles getting out of bed this morning but I am pretty much awake during the day. Go figure. But still I am glad I can sleep in tomorrow morning. The other days not so much, grandma & co are early risers.

[blueraven95]

28. It's too soon to really tell about the classes

they look like they should be good. Luckily, that one annoying lady isn't in either of them, so hopefully there won't be anyone else to raise my blood pressure.

You're lucky to not be tired. I am really dragging this morning. I may have to get a second (or third) cup of coffee.

[MissHoneychurch]

30. What are the classes about?

Same as the last ones?

I am rather surpised I am not tired. I expected to be dragging myself.

[blueraven95]

41. Let's see

one is called "From Jerusalem to Graceland" and it's about early Christian saints and comparing how they are worshiped with how people treat Elvis. Considering that I'm not Christian and I know next to nothing about Elvis, this class is really a stretch for me. It's the one I'm more nervous about.

The other class is "Ways of Seeing" and it's about how/what people see and how they understand what they see. I think it will mostly be about perspective. It's taught by the same professor I had in the spring, and I'm kind of really excited about it. It looks like it will be a lot of fun, and there are several smaller papers rather than one huge one, which is a lot easier for me to handle.


Did you mention if you were doing something fun tonight since you are off?

[MissHoneychurch]

43. Ohh ...

the "Ways of Seeing" class sounds very interesting. I would have the same problems as you have with the other class.

No plans for tonight. Going groceries shopping after work and then home. Maybe doing some more in the household so that I don't have too much left to do tomorrow.
Also, the new season of "Desperate Housewives" starts today on German TV.

[blueraven95]

47. I think it's going to be a tv night for me

I'll probably watch "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Glee." I'm also planning on putting together the contests for the calendar tonight.

I really should clean, but I think that's going to wait for tomorrow.

[cwydro]

9. Good morning Miss Honeychurch.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I'm glad your long days are over with for now. I did think about you working so long, while I was reading my book on the porch by the canal yesterday B-)

Of course your words are written correctly; as I have told you before, your English is better than many DUers lol!

[MissHoneychurch]

17. Good morning cwydro

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I am glad about that too. What book are you reading?
It wasn't a bad working ... I had some eye candies :evilgrin:

I am still amazed that my English got that good. Especially after I had such a hard time with it in school.

[cwydro]

19. I am reading Shutter Island.

There has been a lot of publicity about it. I think they're going to make a movie out of it.

It has pulled me in already.

Ah, the eye candy was there again eh? Is he flirting yet?

[MissHoneychurch]

22. And you aren't scared

to sleep alone????


Not flirting, but still eye candy. And some of the customers weren't from bad parents either :evilgrin:

[gmoney]

11. Good morning!

enjoy your time off!

[MissHoneychurch]

14. Good morning gmoney

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Good to see ya!!! How are you doing?

I will enjoy my time off, I promise :)

[emdistortion]

12. Right back atcha. n/m

[MissHoneychurch]

15. Good morning emdistorian

:hi: :hug:

I hope you have a good start into the week :)

[Callalily]

16. Good morning MissH!

I'm running really late this morning, but wanted to pop in to say howdy.

Sorry to hear about your rude customer. Some people? Well, you just got to shake your head - that's all.

The cold cucumber soup was a hit at my book club meeting and we had great discussions as usual. I've got such an eclectic group, they are all intelligent, fun women.

Have fun on your days off with your relatives.

Wishing you a great day and a SUPER GREAT long weekend.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

20. Good morning Callalily

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Happy to hear that your cucumber soup was a hit, but then I expected it. :)
What books did you discuss?

I wish you a great day and a great rest of the week.

[Blue_Tires]

18. Good afternoon, MissHoneychurch

Meanwhile, over at the Messe Frankfurt:

[MissHoneychurch]

21. Good morning Blue_Tires

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Are you telling me you are at the Messe Frankfurt taking all those pics and not coming to visit me? :evilgrin:

[Blue_Tires]

23. if only...

but now may be a good time to skip out of the office and head over there...the eyes of the world are on your city

[MissHoneychurch]

25. I don't think it is open for the public yet

[Blue_Tires]

39. yeah, it's just press days

but you can always grab your camera and say you're a freelancer...

[Brewman_Jax]

24. G'day, MissH!

:hi: :hug:

Almost time for the long weekend! :woohoo:

It's rainy here. Been raining since yesterday and through the night. Glad I didn't play last night--in the rain, on high-tech astroturf. I saw the result online, and no surprise, lost 7-1. I don't know who got the one. :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

26. Good morning Brewman

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Yes, almost time. I think I will leave at 4pm. I still have to go groceries shopping.

Was that the new team or the old team?

[Brewman_Jax]

27. The old team

They played the 1st place team, and I knew that would be the result. I'll play with my new team tomorrow night, and I'll play with the old team next week. The schedules are online so I can decide well in advance.

I see you have to go shopping later. Are you cooking dinner for everyone?

[MissHoneychurch]

31. Oh OK

that is no surprise then.

Yes, I will make a zucchini pizza tomorrow evening. Friday I haven't decided yet. Thinking about a meat loaf. And I will make a Key Lime Pie for the weekend.

[Brewman_Jax]

32. Sounds good

Too bad the drive is so far, I wouldn't have to worry about dinner. :9

If you're short on ideas, pasta salad is good if you have few or many guests.

[MissHoneychurch]

36. I would always welcome you

at my table :)

We will only 4 persons, so I think I will be able to cook for them. Don't want them in my kitchen ... they are the guests ... LOL

[Brewman_Jax]

44. Of course

We'd be the guests and let you do all the work. :woohoo:

:P

[MissHoneychurch]

45. Of course

and there is no question there I am happy to be the host

[Brewman_Jax]

46. Is it almost time

for the long weekend?

[MissHoneychurch]

49. Almost

:D

[Brewman_Jax]

50. You get a break

and not have to worry about your "favorite" customer for a few days.

[MissHoneychurch]

52. And believe me

I am more than happy about that :D

[jeff30997]

29. Good morning MissHoneychurch !

I just woke up,insomnia again,but since I can say hello for the first(and last) time
this week I don't mind the lack of sleep.Well your new number one "favorite" customer
seems like the type of person who thinks that the Universe revolve around them.
Have great time with your family ! :hi: :loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

33. Good morning Jeff

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Awww... thank you :hug:

Yes, it does seem that way. And she is only in her early 20s. I think she will have a hard time in her life if she doesn't change.

I will have a great time, I promise :D

[Tuesday Afternoon]

34. Hello MissHc

Lucky you :) I hope that you have a wonderful visit with your Uncle and grandparents. :hug:

Maybe you will have a family picture for Monday.

[MissHoneychurch]

38. Good morning Tuesday

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

It is actually my grandmother, her brother and his wife.

Here is a pic of my grandmother and her brother

[NJmaverick]

37. Good morning MHC

Still pretty busy myself. It's amazing how pushy/nosy some people can be. I wonder how she would feel if someone barged into her office and asked the same questions.

[MissHoneychurch]

40. Good morning NJmaverick

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

For some reason I believe she doesn't see it as nosy. :shrug:

Busy is good, right?

[Vidar]

62. Good morning MissHoneychurch.
