T&P's Sam! Hope you got a dog walker during recovery :-).
-
GM~ Like Garfield, I'm beginning to hate Mondays. Hope the field trial interactions were about the doggos not the pending divorce, Lee. VA appt for heart cath on Friday. Sure would be nice before then to know If I'm on their team or not! Ms. Hannah is looking right at home. #PuppyLotteryWinner Tucker enjoyed some Dad and…

GM~ Meeting my car guy this morning. Racing this afternoon. Dreading the upcoming week. skip

Great day to enjoy Vette therapy. Long night journaling for VA. Can’t sleep.
-
GM Survived another one. Might get Vette out today. 80 degrees. Skipper
-
TGIF Survived another one. Can't logon - this morning. Perhaps I was DOGED overnight. #FML! VA interview went well. Affirming email last night asking for personal financials info and vetting. Gotta believe thats a good sign. Hope all are ready for weekend! ~Skipper

GM Opening Day (though cannot attend). VA Interview (hope this is last one). C'mon, Friday. Nice pics from your hike, SGM! Whats the latest from LazYBoy? New chair? Skipper
-
GM~ SMH. That's all you can do lately. VA interview pushed to tomorrow. Which might play in my favor to make opening day game at Nat's park. Tucker done with three tasks and sprawled out under a blanket on the couch in my office. He's truly living his best day…..EVERYday! Glad the back is better. What are the latest Hannah…

CTR - slang for Contractor. GOVCTR = Government Contractor (er…..double paid bureaucrat).
-
GM~ Not alot of sleep last night. Interview with Gov CTR later today. Interview (again) with VA tomorrow. VERA briefing this afternoon. I'll be glad when I can join the cool BBB'rs who are retired! Kelly, hope back is okay! Ugh. Skipper
-
Safe travels, Lou. Long day ahead. Cheers, Skipper
-
GM~ I tried to sleep in, but failed. Nice trek to me favorite brewery yesterday. Lots of time on VA paperwork. Race today. Cheers Skipper
-
Lou - FAIR question! I would like to retire. AND, it looks like I'm being forced into that. HOWEVER, I am not at Minimum Retirement Age (57) which precludes me from FULL entitlements (SocSec Supplement) through 62. Alas, I need (would like) to land another position for 3 more years to carry me to that threshold. Bottom…
-
GM~ Aside from a (expensive) pair of LL Bean Boots (Leather Tongue) - the house survived really well from Tucker'sTeething! Ms. Hannhah looks adorable! VA appt was tough yesterday - but we'll find out in a few weeks. On other side, I got noticed for a VA interview this upcoming week. UP/DOWN/UP/DOWN…..its like I'm back in…

VA appt went well. #Pablo! #Leo! Hows the newest BBB Pup faring?
-
TGIF. VA fight, er, appointment, at 11a. DId I mention, TGIF?
-
GM Up way too early to head to Ortho follow-up an hour away. Will CBL. Skipper
-
GM~ Late start today. Long night. Great news from Docs, Sam! Have they set your shoulder surgery date? How's Ms. Hannah making out? Hoping the early out option is offered soon that includes waiver of MRA (meaning the SS supplement will be available too). I think we could (if necessary) get by on that while waiting for…
-
They are offering VERA (voluntary early retiremeent) - but its not yet been officially presented. To that end, I have the years, not the age. Alas, I would be without SS supplement for 3 years until I hit miniumum retirement age. The whole thing is a kitten show. I have 10pt vet status and 30 years seniority - so one would…
-
GM~ The older I get the less tolerant I become. Houseguests after two days are like warm beer! Hope Pablo enjoys doggy daycare. Its 1000% helped Tucker stay active/engaged and behaved. Work continues to be stressful. Not sleeping well. Not getting positive hits back to the 100's (literally) of resumes/cover letters sent…
-
GM~ Erin Go Bragh! Good luck w/ Appts this week, Sam/Joanne! Miss Hannah sounds like she's making new Masters quite proud! Our former neighbor is here with us for a week. She is expecting to be laid off from HHS. Ugh. Gonna be another long week!
-
GM Melancholy day. I got nothing. Skip
-
AMAZING photo, Steph! Schnoz is coming along well. Still quite swollen, but sneezing doesn't send me to the moon w/ pain! Me thinks Ms. Hannah will live a very charmed life. And, find her way into the masters chamber bed sooner than later!!!! #Tucker and I batching it. He's at Pup daycare today - tonight we'll have HH at…
-
GM Off to grab coffee. Very surprised Dennis and Ms Hannah didn’t start us off today. Potty training knows no hours. great HH with Coastie friend last night. Cheers Skipper
-
GM & TGIF~ Sending DW out tonight w/ DN's for dinner and to Georgetown for weekend "gals" trip. Monday is the 1 year since passing of DMIL. Trying to keep her surrounded and busy. Welcome home Hannah? Tucker thinks you are a fellow puppy lottery winner! Budget? No budget? RIFs? No RIFs? Its been a helluva week to be a fed.…
-
Lee - so sad. Hand Salute to a fallen warrior…… I hope you are able to continue to be a positive influence to the girls…..and help the one find her path. Rumor has it - a puppy lottery winner gets her spoils today! Yay, HANNAH! 🐾🐾🐾🐾 I'm shocked Laz-Boy hasn't already outfitted you with a new recliner after the first two…
-
GM~ Nothing. Have a great day. Skip
-
GM~ SMH. Simply SMH….. C'mon, Friday!

THESE are the people DOGE needs to fire. INEPT is just not a strong enough adjective to describe this level of idiocy!
-
From the YGTBFKM files: HR: You're not eligible to retire. Me: I believe that is a mistake. I have the years/age. 15 emails later. HR: You do not have the age requirement at 49 with 30 years of service, you do not have the age requirement! Me: I am 54 with 35 years of service. Try again! RADIO SILENCE! HR Dir at 5p: How…
