Shucky Drat! (3)

How does one say that in Texan? I'm not sure. Probably you don't say that at all.


Dad is doing better, but still, he's old. We're fixing up the house and bugging out; he will come out to be with me later in the year, if I come down and bring him out. Ohhhhhkay. Still, it's one of life's cruelties that I, who has inherited packrat/mess tendencies, am cleaning up a 2000 foot house.

And yes, CV, he is saving piles of cans sorted by type (spam, tuna, etc) for storing things in.

SD 2: Well, the trip to Germany is off (not officially, but it's being killed slowly.) The bosslady wants me to be fully capable, and doesn't have a login for me or a badge or...so, we'll see. I'll devote the end of the week to study, but at some point, you have to ask: is there money in this somewhere? Why am I doing this? Because if I have to learn everything about Cisco VoIP, including CCM (three versions), SRST configs, ER servers, IPSLA machines, interactions with MoM systems, phone codes, equipment compatibilities and timelines, that's a fairly large commitment of time.

SD 3: The cold I've been fighting for a week is gaining on me, perhaps, helped by the cold/hot transfers. So I may be getting ill.


SHUCKY DRATS!

How would I say that in German?

Ooopsala?

PS: Norman haircuts are in style, at least in the teen crowd. They do seem cooler in heat. I saw 5 at the Wallyworld today.

PPS: I don't think this side trip being taken impaired my possiblity of getting to go to Germany. And as long as I don't freak, I think I'll be getting class contracts. But I need to get to the point where I can be paid to do these things.

PPPS: My, it's warm! Warm enough perhaps for fish to swim!

in Texan I believe it would be something close to
"gawdamn" with proper drawl... but I'm outta practice

Gawdamn is more obscene than shucky darn, because "damn" makes it technically "taking the Lord's name in vain.

yah, now that I'm realizing LearnTeach was looking for *not* cursing, ah well, I have a horribly fowl mouth...
unfortunately now Waners Brothers cartoon voices are playing in my head... and I'm not sure that is better...
