I'll agree that working from home lets you hug your partner and get an emotional boost to keep going, but some things would be easier to take care of at the office. On the other hand, none of us in our Dept. are really ready to go back. They did get the plexiglass barriers up and in place on our desks so that's a good thing. So nice you have a huggie bear at home. But we were talking about the very same thing the other day with my coworker. Those of us who decided to go to office tend to be the ones who prefer to have technical support from other coworkers on how to do a certain task, though we were given options to telework at home, but I can't.... There are too many reasons I don't like telework, really.... It's nice you guys have plexiglass. I hate wearing a mask (but it is necessary to be safe). Those straps of the mask cut off my circulation after I wear like how many hours a day and my ears really hurt.... 6 hours ago, kbois said: It's hard when dealing with one of those really loud people who call everyone 'honey' and laugh at the end of every sentence, even when it's inappropriate. I've decided the best thing to do is to stay positive and do my job like I always do. LOL. Sometimes I have customers who does that. But..., I don't know you! Why are you calling me honey, sweetie, darling? Then I feel self-conscious about my voice.... Do I sound gay? But yeah, keep a good attitude. I like to stay positive as well. I had a random stranger at the train station telling me I have a sweet smile. 6 hours ago, Mikiesboy said: He does that job very well. Okay, my mind is in the gutter. 6 1

I don't like the bread baked in there much.. it's okay.. but it's just an odd shape. But i don't need to watch it when i put it on 'dough' .. I just put all the stuff in.. then put it in the machine and go. 1.5 hours for it to mix, knead and rise. While i can do other things. Edited July 17, 2020 by Mikiesboy 2 3

I've been wanting to get into baking, more, and anything that makes it easier, is a blessing. I like baking bread a lot. Kneading is hard especially if you have problems with your hands or joints in your arms. A bread machine will do it, or a good mixer with a dough hook. I have one of those also and it works great, but you need to put make sure you put the dough to rise and keep it warm. Which isn't too hard but still needs doing... and the bread machine does it for you. 5 1

Popular Post kbois Posted July 17, 2020 Popular Post Posted July 17, 2020 Wow, I just had my first nearly heart stopping storm moment. It started raining and then coming down hard, all of a sudden my boss says "does that sound like a train?" I looked out the window, rain was howling through the carport, sounded like we were under the waterfall at Niagara Falls. Couldn't see the big trees that are 20 feet away. Thankfully it was just a little burst, but damn, makes you realize that if there's a tornado there really isn't much you can do. On a totally different subject, the county came and did the Covid testing for the residents today. I had mine done. I didn't realize how far they shoved the swabby thing up your nose. It felt like she was trying to poke my eyeball out from the inside. Overall, I have to say that they were well organized and everyone was really nice. It really wasn't that unpleasant. 6
