Does anyone know how to stop getting community posts on my flist without actually leaving the community? Because I'm not really reading any of those posts anymore, but I'm not quite ready to admit I'm done with the fandom yet. Any help would be nice ( Read more... )

First off, what the hell LJ? Why will you not let me go back more than 40 posts on my friends' pages? If I haven't logged in since the end of July, I shouldn't be barred from finding out what's happened in that time. Sheesh. Oh well. Maybe, I just need to be better about checking. Eh ( Read more... )

The instructions:

Grab the book nearest you RIGHT NOW.
Turn to page 56.
Find the 5th sentence.
Post that sentence along with these instructions.

"The god party was quick to raelize that therein lay the way of power."

From Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny. I don't care if this is a 'legendary' SF classic, I'm not really liking it. 50 pages ( Read more... )

The Kentucky Derby. Oh my god. I'm freaking right now, along with Lori and Janine. Because the horse that won, Mine That Bird, is owned by Double Eagle Ranch, Buena Suerte Equine. We do business with them, we ship them semen from one of our stallions. Not only that, but one of the owners, Leonard Bloc? I've talked to him on the phone several ( Read more... )

There's a chance that tomorrow I'll be able to watch a surgery on a foal. I'm so excited and desperately hoping that Janine is in the office on time so I can go with Lori and Dr. C and watch. It would be what's called a Periostial Stripping (I think). I don't quite know what that means, but I know you do it to foals that have severely crooked ( Read more... )

Stupid car. Ugh. I figured it was time to put in the shop for a day because I needed new brakes and an oil change. And while it was there, my air conditioning wasn't working... and the front left was making a weird squeak when I turned to the right. So. They changed the oil. And put in new brakes. And put in more air conditioning fluid stuff ( Read more... )

That was so weird. I'm working on a PO, Janine's typing on her computer and Lori is squeeing over her new camera that just got delivered. Then I hear this rumble and like two seconds later, there's a big bang as the office jolts a bit. Janine swore and ran out of her office, haha. I just looked up with wide eyes. Lori then laughed and ( Read more... )

I'M GETTING A RAISE!!! Woo hoo! *does dance* Best news ever! I was so happy when Janine told me that... she said that she and Lori both agree and that they know they can count on me and I've taken everything in stride and all that. And I'm just so happy! It's not much, but I'll take what I can get ( Read more... )

I learned how to develop x-rays this week! Then I promptly destroyed half a box. Hehe. No, I didn't do anything stupid like expose the film, but the processor jammed on me, which was not something I could have prevented. So it wasn't technically my fault. But no one has let me forget it anyway. Lori asked Dr. T how Charro did helping to take ( Read more... )

I know I spend a lot of time mentioning how much I love my job and all that and I really do. But unfortunately today I got to see a side of it that I hate. I knew it was there, but I didn't have to face it till today. Today, we had to euthanize a horse ( Read more... )
