Lots of good bear books. Does she like the Berenstain bears?

He was older and he and his wife shared a lab with a family with young kids.
They split the week.
Signed contracts about vet care and stuff like that.
Labs love people, so the dog was excited and happy every time he switched houses.
That is what I really need!
KtC, wanna split a dog?

You would have to fly the poor doggy across the country!

I'm not much of a dog person, but d-i-l and son had the best dog I've ever been around. A border collie. Really great with the kids.

We've had two labs. They have been the best behaved members of our household.

Labs are a little bigger than border collies, aren't they? What about the aussies, where do they fit in sizewise?

good morn....err...good afternoon all!

Got it updated, daj gave me a hand. Had to submit today for a job. Might still tweak it later.

joyner wrote:Lots of good bear books. Does she like the Berenstain bears?

Some, she is really into We're going on a Bear hunt, we could read that all day.

joyner wrote:You would have to fly the poor doggy across the country!

No kidding! I wouldn't mind sharing, but we aren't allowed pets anymore, it was pets up to 30lbs or 18 inches or something like that (so a lab would be too big), but then people abused the right and now no one can have pets again.

lunchtime, Ohh I can't wait for naptime!

it's been a very frustrating day. I just want to go home. I feel like I have been here for 10 hours already. I had enough of today's crap by 9 this morning.

I agree . . . and I was at work 10 hours.

I say we just quit.

Afternoon everyone. Beautiful day. Sun shining. Birds singing. About 60.

cruzer wrote:I say we just quit.

I was very close to doing just that today . . .

Little Big Boss is now Big Boss and Wannabe Boss is now Little Big Boss . . .

And I believe our new LBB has his sights on our new BB . . . it's gonna get dangerous in that kind of environment . . .

I wish I could share your cheerfulness.

perhaps LBB and BB will hash it out, and both will move to different areas and then you can get two new ones!

Drove by the pet store in town, they have a sign up for Shihtzu Poo's, I just don't think I could have a molten rubber Poo dog. They also had Eskipoos - all these -poo dogs is getting crazy.

After husband left for work and went to Target for a little retail therapy. Would've been much more enjoyable without the hoodlums who were in rare form. Picking on each other and basically driving me crazy. I bought myself a new ivory purse - it's not too early in the season is it? If it is, then don't look this way cuz I'll be out of style.

Oh, they'll hash it out alright . . . and us defenseless kontraktorskum will be their cannon fodder . . .

Is the new BB the "Barney" you've referenced in the past? If so, that doesn't sound good.

Yes, he is; and no, it doesn't!

AZGman wrote:Yes, he is; and no, it doesn't!

Can the company that you work for move you, or do they only have contractor positions for the one you're in?

sounds like fun!

heh . . . our company couldn't move all of us!! And they'd as soon cut us adrift and hire anew . . .

We're employed on an "at will" basis - meaning, if our govies don't want us (regardless of the reason), we're gone. If our Program Manager doesn't want us, we're gone.

Sorry Gman. Hope Barney BB and new LBB don't make your life hell.

Richard Widmark died. I always liked him.

That's a shame. I liked his work, as well.

daj59 wrote:Ah yes, I'm an "at will" employee too. So comforting.

Nothing like job security, eh?

daj59 wrote:Yep. I was "at willed" a couple years ago in one budget cut cycle. I managed to find another position that I liked just as well so it worked out fine in the end.

Of course, at some point you have to look out for Number One (yourself) and decide if it's all worth it (if you can locate other employment of course). Ex never could understand that and stuck with horrible bosses and just about got himself fired.

I'm more or less stuck in my present job until my clearance is updated - that could take as much as six months to a year!
