*grumpity grump grump*

[judecorp]

There's something wrong with my Daedalus's eye. So I called and made an appointment for him, and the latest they could give us is 4:20pm. That's not going to go over well at work. I just inherited a good chunk of Former Coworker Ed's caseload, but I'm still running back and forth between shelters, so I'm trying to squeeze all of them in, /and/ run around, /and/ I'm the primary call person now. Oy.

So I'm ditching open hours on 8th and I have to tell Coworker Sandra that I'm ditching her workshop. Those two things seemed the easiest things to ditch. But whenever I don't show up for something, I feel like a big fat letdown. I suppose I need to work on this.

I was dropped from someone's friends list for trying to be impartial and supportive. Oops. I guess sometimes I should keep my big mouth shut.

My Jennifer did something to her knee and it worries me. My cats were bothering her knee, so she went to sleep on the couch for a while to stretch out. Lonely night.

Helloooooooo, Senorita Crankypants!

Embrace the Grumpiness, I Say.

You have a lot on your plate and it sounds like you do good work every day. Cut yourself a little slack, for cryin' out loud. And I am sorry about Jennifer's knee. Tiger Balm or icing it might help. Or she could do what my father does for every ill and coat herself in Vicks.

Slack? What is this thing you call slack? I don't think I have room for this silly thing called slack. At least not at work. Not right now. Actually, I'm currently using internet for personal use and I'm not supposed to. Maybe I'll get fired.

I just worry about my favorite pretty girl. The idea of coating her in Vicks just makes me giggle like mad, though. MENTHOL LOVIN' WHOOOO YEAH!

when I was about 4, I had a gargamel (wow, looks like doulamel, except not really...) figure that my folks bought for me in the States (they didnt sell them in Canada!!!) Then one day it went missing, and this kid my Mom baby-sat for sometimes was seen playing with one. I told my Mommy on him, and when she asked him about it, he said he'd bought it in a store. Big Dumb Jerk, he did not!

Ok, that's my story. Did it make you smile????

[doulamel.livejournal.com]

LOL. Hmph.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I wish I had a Gargamel figurine. I have about 100 little figurines, though. :) No Gargamels. But Gargamel is the name of my car.

It's ironic that you couldn't get smurfs in Canada when you were a kid... because now you can't get the new ones here in the States so I have to ask my friends in Canada and England to send them to me!

I like your story!

we could get smurfs -- they were $2 at Hans Christian Anderson toy store. I got $1/week allowance so every 2nd Sat I would go shopping. Just couldnt get Gargamel.
have you heard the theory that smurfs were a commentary on communism?

have you heard the theory that smurfs were a commentary on communism?

Yes, and it's probably true, though probably not as far as the whole

Socialist
Men
Under a
Red
Father

thing claims. (That was a story I saw on the internet once.)

I should try to find a Gargamel on eBay.

Re:

[grrlpower.livejournal.com]

wow, I never saw THAT before... Although the original name was Schroumph or somethin back in Belgium, so that doesn't quite work out...

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

They are Les stroumphes in french, and Der schlumpfen in german. Belgium uses both of those languages, so it could be either. :)

They are 'smerfy' in Poland. :)

Can't remember if the dude who came up with them was French or Dutch.. I went to a smurfland amusement park in France, but UGH it was closed the day we went :(

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

My friend Luke went to that Smurf theme park in Europe. He showed me so many fun photos! I am sooooo jealous.

[doulamel.livejournal.com]

What's wrong with my boyfriend's eye?????

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I don't really know. He kept it closed all yesterday and it was really runny (clear). When I tried to open his eye, all you could get was the pink eyelid part... so I worried it might be pink eye or something and called the vet.

And then when I went to get out the carrier for later, and I set it on the floor, he went into it, sniffed it, and then OPENED HIS EYE AT ME! THAT LYING LITTLE TURD!!!

So Jen's going to check on him at lunch and I'll see if I can cancel the appointment.

Re:

[doulamel.livejournal.com]

Awww. Poor lil bugger. He's like "aw shit, not the vet!!!" Bet he forced that eye open with everything he had. One time one of our cats was having an eye problem so we bought some plain ole saline solution. That was fun getting it into her eye. Oy.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Heh. Apparently The Big D has a scratch on his cornea (probably from that dastardly Ralph!), and now he has to have OINTMENT IN HIS EYE FOUR TIMES A DAY.

Shoot me now.

Re:

[doulamel.livejournal.com]

Oh no, that poor baby!!! *puts Ralphie in the corner* Ugh I don't envy you that in the least. Pills are bad enough, but ointment? Poor mom AND D. Does he get an eye patch like a pirate?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

HA HA HA, I wish he got an eyepatch. That would be so manly.

Re:

[doulamel.livejournal.com]

That would be! He'd be even more of a stud than he is now!!!!

Oh, and you want a stupid story?

[mermil.livejournal.com]

As I just told [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], my brother, who is now all dignified and about to be a daddy, used to fart on a pillow and then smother my face with it.

So there.

Re: Oh, and you want a stupid story?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Yeah, but it did take your mind off your grumpy pants.

[mermil.livejournal.com]

And funny, that was [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]'s comment almost verbatim.

Re: Yeah, but it did take your mind off your grumpy pants.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

That is one of the grossest big brother things I have ever heard. :)

*drops for Daedelus's blinker*
*ice for Jennifers knee*
*hugs for mein little smurfling*

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I now have ointment for the little baby's eye. Poor little buddy has a scratch on his cornea. :( But we'll all take all the hugs we can get!

[oddharmonic.livejournal.com]

I'm not feeling very huggable today, but I'll volunteer Little Miss Stinky (not her regular nickname, but a reflection of her behavior today) for hug duty.

She did do something funny today: normally when Robert leaves, she ignores him until she hears the car then runs to the window and yells "BYE BYE DADDY!" (When she's mad at me, she says the same, only substituting 'mommy'-- my doofey kid.) Today she was underfoot the entire time he was getting ready to leave, so he stopped before going out, kneeled to offer her a hug and said "Bye bye, Laurel!" She replied, "BYE BYE LAUREL!". I was amused.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Hee hee, she sounds like a real cutiepants. :)

Thanks for selling me your child for hugs!
