What SHOULD You Be Doing NOW???

[Conveyor Belt]

We have the 'what are you doing' thread... but I know we're mostly goofing off here...

So, what SHOULD you be doing?

Me, I should be studying yeasts and moulds.

I think I'm gonna go into study mode. See you guys in an hour or so when I take a short study break.

Have a good time... and tell me what you SHOULD be doing NOW!!!

[Maggie-Doodle]

I "should" be down at Booshays painting AGAIN! Hopefully we will be done early this week...:-D

[pinkytuscadero]

Trying to figure out where all those candles I bought have been crammed. Looking for AA batteries and AAA batteries should be important.

I should be grading papers and posting grades before no internet is available.

[jmb]

I should be washing dishes, cleaning the house, and baking a cake. IF MH wasn't so addicting...

I'm really off this time...got to get the cake in the oven. But I have to wash the pan first. lol

[shultz dooley]

I might ought to be boarding up, but I'm not sure where the swede is going yet.

[virgo]

I should be cleaning the house. My uncle is staying over tonight (they are en route to Gatlinburg) and I have so much to do. *sigh*

At least I got the grocery shopping done earlier today! :clap:

[Hermione]

I should be loading up my car, taking pictures of my stuff, getting the cats ready to roll, packing my good clothes into space bags, etc. No, on the Sunday afternoon of my long-awaited three-day weekend, I SHOULD be reading a book with my feet up!

[Bahlk]

Im waiting on a generator to get here, then I'm gonna set that up make sure it's working right (brand new one) and then kick back and wait on tomorrow.

[jmb]

I'm doing exactly what I should be doing now...taking a break. Cake's made and decorated. Everything's ready to cook. Waiting for the boys to get here. When I get up from here, I'm going to blend a pitcher of daiquiris. And stick a straw in and suck one straight down! :-D

[mi_nombre_es]

Still trying to figure out what I should be doing lol

[jbrack]

I should be taking a nap!!:-D

[cajungirl]

:evil: I should be kicking some management butt!!! The new owners of Mc calisters just informed my 16 yr old ( who works at the one in the mall,and has for a year,a second from our house)that she has to work her shift tommorrow at the Hardy Street store,because they are closing the mall....or she'll be fired!! We are under a state of emergency for petes sake...how would we even get out to take and pickher up in a freaking hurricane? Totally illegal right??

I would call the manager and tell them that although she wants to work and loves her job, you are not allowing her to get out in the weather as a 16 year old driver.

The owner's said this or the GM?

[cajungirl]

The manager of her store said she would have to take it up with the new owners ..and they would probably fire anyone who didnt show up,. And she doesnt even drive yet.. ..we would have to take,and pick her up.

That is a manager trying a CYA move. I would call and speak with that manager directly. That way, the manager knows where you stand in the matter. She can not go to work, and that is that. If you want to fire her, then ok. I would bet that they have enough trouble keeping employees so if she is normally a responsible employee, she will be fine.

Let us know what he/she says.

Pinky

[Rainey]

I know the manager... I don't think he would be a dick like that unless he was told to do that. Atleast I don't think he would... try to talk to him and see if you can't work it out. If not, I might try and talk some sense into him.

[cajungirl]

Yeah..i just tried to call her to see whats up. He's a puddin for asking a kid to speak to the owners.And she is a very good employee,never ever been late,or not showed..works extra any time shes asked,been there like a year and a lil bit.

[damnyank]

I'm sorry to hear this - but it sounds to me like the business is trying to get some extra cash from all the evacuees - at the expense of a young lady! What happened to the individuals who were scheduled to work at the Hardy location? :smt102

[cajungirl]

Now shes telling me that its not ***** telling her that, its ****.And that she over dramatized the firing part...teenagers.

Exactly. I wouldn't stress too much more over this. Sometimes managers are just over scheduling to make sure they have enough show up. I still wouldn't let her go, especially now. Puddin' - I love it.

[cajungirl]

Thats what I said!! Wheres their crew?????

[Kitty]

After the storm passes, maybe we should boycott McAlister's Deli on Hardy Street.

:smt001

Well then you hurt the employees that work there as well as the owner. Less business= less employees. Maybe a nice letter in the paper though would be an appropriate action.

[cajungirl]

funny

[damnyank]

Back on topic! I should be sitting here, waiting for the Weber to get ready to put the T-Bone steaks over that charcoal and get all the neighbors drooling! Oh - did I mention I also have a mixed drink (CC)?

I spent close to 4 hours this morning - rearranging the garage (of course it was my stuff - never Mrs DY's), got the generator in there ready to move to it's normal operating location, all the extention cords, 25 gallons of gas, a trash can full of water (to flush the toilet), and room for both vehicles. I must be getting better at this as I have room to get into and out of each vehicle! :clap:

I got the deck cleared off and everything into the storage shed.(table, chairs, plant stands etc)

...........so I deserve the steak and the drinks and that's what I should be doing!!:-D

For safety sake I would move the extra gas out of the garage. I am sure you know that you need to keep the garage door open if you are going to run the generator. Ideally it should not be in an enclosed space.

[BiGCoUnTrY06]

I should be sittin on the back porch drinkin a cold brew!! Waitin on the big blow!!!

The generator is not run in the "garage" (which is really a carport and does not have a door on it - it is enclosed on three sides though). The generator is moved to the front porch and the extra gas goes on the end of the porch opposite the generator! Thanks for the reminder - I am sure others may also find it helpful!

[drake]

Right now I should be studying for the Praxis II. But, that isn't going to happen.

[thornton04]

:cow:

[bratprincess1920]

I should be reading to try to lessen my stress level by delving into a make believe world.

[Kitty]

Putting batteries in my little television because I know Comcast will eventually go out.

[SoMissTV]

Enjoy that TV; it'll be no good in February.

[buggz13]

Laundry!!!!!

[MamaTyson74]

I should be washing clothes. If we lose power I will have a huge load of dirty clothes. I also need to find the bucket hubby told me to use to bring in water from the pool for the toilet incase we have no water. Also I need to round up all my candles. I have tons around this house, just cant remember where they are all at!

[birthdaybunnie]

I SHOULD be doing many things, instead I am here drinking my last sip of a toddy and fighting the fatigue that has overcome me. Tomorrow is yet another day!!

[cajungirl]

should be sleeping....eating reese's mini's and reading MH instead.

[captkersh]

I should be pushing barges up and down the river. Instead sitting in Reserve, LA guarding the fleet. Spent the past three days preparing the fleet. Dang I hope everything holds together. Chasing barges in a hurricane wouldn't be fun!!!

[cajungirl]

wow....so much more important than my reese's:-D....BE SAFE OUT THERE!

[captkersh]

I'd rather have the reese's. :bowrofl:

[Butterball]

I'd rather have the reese's. :bowrofl:

I'm with you Capt.................

(they're not on my 'approved' edibles list.......:smt118)

[proudtobefrompetal]

I should be cleaning the bathrooms. But I'm contemplating a nap. This weather exhausts me. :icon_slee

[pinkytuscadero]

Purchasing stock in Little Debbie.preparefish

[virgo]

I should be working right now. Instead, I am browsing MH. :kekeke:

[bratprincess1920]

I should be taking a shower to prepare to go into town. Also contacting ATT to get dsl hooked up here. But I'm being lazy.

[Kitty]

I should be checking out my pantry, seeing what "storm survival" items were eaten.

Keep in mind...we never lost electricity...yet someone went through the Pop-Tarts...:smt105

[proudtobefrompetal]

Bathrooms are clean so I guess there's nothing that I *should* be doing. :laugh:

[pinkytuscadero]

Getting off this computer to go exercise. That tub of trail mix was the healthiest 10,000 calories I've ever eaten.

:laugh: I should go with you. These emergency supplies are going to pack on the pounds quick. :ohnoes:

[Hermione]

I should be unpacking. Took stuff to my mom's with the idea "what if a tree falls on the house?" plus two cats and their gear. It's all just thrown on the sunporch from where I unloaded the car. I'm just beat to pieces. These stupid cats are not good houseguests -- one of them cried from about 4 am onward this morning and kept us awake. He's lucky to be breathing. Grrr....
However, I did one "should" which was to thank God with all my heart for an intact house to come back to.

[Expat in Korea]

I should be sleeping, but drank way too much beer tonight!

[JIM58]

Should be sorting through stacks of resumes. Have to hire a Sales Mgr.

[fuzzis]

I should be walking the doggie. We're going to go in a minute.

[kuntrykruzin1]

getting ready to go home from work but have to stay a while longer

[my_shade_of_gray]

I SHOULD be working on all this busy work for class and ordering a book off Amazon. Instead, I'm burning every episode of Space Ghost on DVD. The hurricane thing was a good chance for me to catch up on some unnecessary movie burning. I've downloaded and burned about 23 movies in the past 3 days (gotta get my money's worth! clogging those pipes!). Watching Dexter (Season 2) in between. I've been totally worthless... All things I should NOT probably be doing.

Jim you may have already said - but if you're in Ohio how are you affiliated with Hattiesburg? :smt102

I am curious too as to why those not "located" in H'burg are on the forum. Maybe we need a new thread 'bout this.:smt102

[Comments 2]

What I SHOULD be doing is starting dinner rather than checking new posts

[damnyank]

I am doing what I should be doing - sitting here, posting on MH and waiting for supper that Mrs DY is cooking! It really is nice having things almost back to normal after Gustav soaked our butts this morning! :clap:

[proudtobefrompetal]

I should be cooking supper...

[virgo]

I should be getting all the trash in the house together. The garbage men come at like 7 a.m. each Wednesday morning. I just can't get my lazy butt off the recliner at the moment.

[birthdaybunnie]

I should be kicking Gustav's butt, we were supposed to be in Orange Beach, instead me cleaning closets, etc...........oh well

[proudtobefrompetal]

I should be working... but I'm not. :-D

[4olems]

I should be headed to Cellular South to get my phone fixed :smt086

[Hermione]

I should be at home getting ready for the next storm, but this pesky need to earn a living is getting in my way . . . ;)
