June 25 Old Fakebook Stuff

 So here's old Fakebook stuff from the last 12 years or so.

Yes, I know my sense of humor is often highly inappropriate. No, I don't care.

The bees have been told

 In a tradition so old, its origins are lost to time, the Royal Beekeeper has gone to all the beehives of Buckhingham Palace and Clarence House, to deck them in black ribbon and perform the ritual of telling the bees. In this ritual, the beekeeper or some other person of note in the household goes to each hive, puts a bit of black cloth or ribbon on the hive, gently knocks a few times, and says, "Your master/mistress is dead, but don't you go. Your master/mistress will be a good master/mistress to you," using whichever title is appropriate for the gender of the deceased and the new. The belief is that if the bees are not told, they will leave and no longer produce honey.  Thus, tradition has been kept for the first time in seventy years. Thus may it ever be so, that the tradition carries on. My heart continues to break for the UK and her territories in the loss of their sovereign. So many more rituals must be carried out over the coming days. One that I found on YouTube t...

I'm so angry right now...

 My sort-of direct boss at work (because we're supposed to have TWO leads in there and only have one, so John has to do EVERYTHING himself) told me yesterday that he found out that we are working at least two - TWO!! - more Fridays. The one after Labor Day and the Friday after that. WTF? Supposedly, it's because the chickens are "staying too long on the farms." And this is our fault how, those on the line? WE didn't ask for four ten-hour shifts. We asked for LESS OVERTIME to be able to spend more time with our families. We did NOT ask for a change in schedules. We liked what we had. We rarely worked a weekend then, and if we did, it was generally not a kill day. It would be for something like the patty and nugget lines to play a bit of catch up, and would be generally half a day, so nobody really minded too much. Plus, depending on how many people showed up, half of them could easily get offered to go home without a point, and still get four hours pay (mandatory b...

I forgot books...and old Fakebook stuff from today!

 Sorry about forgetting the books. It's been a long day, honestly. Not busy, just hot and miserable and about all I did was sleep. When I wasn't sleeping, I was getting some dinner and getting the groceries, then getting them home and put up. Then it was back to bed for a while because it was still miserably hot. I skipped farmer's market this morning, because it was going to be so hot by the time we finished up, that my poor wax melts would have been melting all on their own in the heat. Not good for them to do that before the customers got them home to play with them! Oh well, it happens. At least Fakebook hasn't kicked me off yet, haha, so I can keep up with everybody's news that way and get more of my favorite memories moved here. Overall, it wasn't a bad day, just quiet and really sleepy. I tend to sleep a lot on weekends because I work so hard at the Just Over Broke during the week, but I do manage to get chores done somehow, and get a good bit done on the...
