Don’t know.
Not judging.
Obviously, there was plastic involved at some point…
Try to scrape off as much as possible or rinse it under very hot water. You can either try concentrated mix of hot water and dish soap and soak it for a few hours, or use lemon juice and baking soda to cut through some of the sugars. Or you can try ammonia mixed with water as a last resort.
it would be easier if I knew what type of plastic is involved. Is it plastic sheeting, woven, or moulded?
Sorry to hear about your mother and your job loss. 
Hopefully they will be able to operate and remove the cancer.
Well now I feel like a cad for posting something not so sucky here tonight. I hope your mother gets the care she needs and is on the mend soon! As to the job, that really, really sucks. We’re all sending good vibes your way, dude.
Yeah but why you gotta leap right to the dirty stuff… oh… right. Ok. But no, this time it was just a very sticky kitchen accident.
Thank you, Baconface! Finally, some real help from the Hive Mind. It’s molded plastic. It’s too big to be soaked, though. I think the lemon juice and baking soda sounds like a promising option. Will let you know how it goes.
Lemon juice and baking soda works wonders, I once saved a white sweater from grape juice stains with it.
You could also try making a paste with some water and powdered laundry detergent, and scrub it onto the plastic and let it sit for a while. I used that once on a tile floor when I dropped a jar of honey on the floor. It picked it right up.
Yeah, I’m clumsy. :rolleyes:
Thank you all. I’m taking it well here. I have 4 weeks vacation they have to give me plus 3 weeks pay. So It could be worse. I’m taking it as I needed to take this time and where I worked I would have been hard pressed to get it. So all the better. In the end I know there will be a much better job. So the journey begins.
so I get up this morning, and need to shave
running kind of behind so I try to do it quick, end up cutting myself in 3 places including right on the border of my lip and couldn’t get it to stop bleeding, so ended up just plopping a band aid over it and getting out the door
right when I get to work, I step out of my truck and WEEEE I slip on ice and fall right on my butt
then trying to get up I slip again and fall on my knee, and as this happens I somehow skid my shin across some ice which slices it open, got a nice 3 inch in length cut there now
then I got to work 9 hours in a job that requires a lot of physical activity
so I feel absolutely awesome right now
molded plastic. Too big to soak. I have a dirty mind, I have a dirty mind
firstly gentle hugz to all those who are having a bad time of it recently.
more fo a croak than an aargh as that’s all I’m capable of emitting today. After several fun days in new hampshire (in which I talked almost constnantly) it appears i’ve broken my voice (no sniggering there in the back).
I felt a tickle in my throat yesterday and while on a brief phone call to my mum this morning (yes I am alive, no the texams didn’t shoot me, their nice people) my voice just faded halfway through.
I feel bad becuase work have been managing on two people while I’ve been away and if I Feel like this on tuesdya there’s no point in me going in, I work on a helpdesk and cannot talk users through solutions if I Cannot talk!
thanks agian for a fnatastic time in an excellent hotel GWCers, I will try and return next year.

This one has been building for a long time, but I realize with all too much clarity today that I REALLY need a new job. I work for my alma mater in the marketing and communications office. I’ve been working here for about a year and a half. My boss and one co-worker quit just before the winter break and they have yet to fill either position. We’re all working crazy overtime and because we are the ‘Communications’ office, no one on campus really understands what our roles should be. Everything I end up doing is so reactive and ‘catch-up’ because most people don’t understand how things work. It’s driving me nuts and I am so mentally exhausted at the end of the day that it’s just not worth it anymore.
So here’s to me starting the job search for real after work today, that is if I can function because the crazies have already started the idiot march this morning making things so much harder than they ever need to be. le sigh And if anyone knows of graphic design or web design or any decent looking job in Atlanta, you just let me know.
Today at work I had to cook with the moron while also trying to train a new girl. Then in the middle of lunch I discovered that some prep work was not done - a STUPID thing too and I wanted so much to stab the girl at fault. There were other things grrrrrrr
The BF was supposed to be here all evening for a nice relaxing time for chilling out. Then he had serious real life shit blow up and cause all sorts of problems so its almost 10 and he isn’t here yet. Not happy and want to just whine with wine.
So thanks to the state of Maryland’s desire to help the little guy by passing a law requiring employers to provide benefits to any employee working over 50% time, my employer will be cutting all adjunct teaching hours down to no more than three courses per year next year. That means my hours and, hence, my pay will be cut by 50%. I am the only person in my department affected negatively by this.
Thankfully, my department chair is going to go fight for a special dispensation for me (I’m the only part timer with a doctorate, who can teach grad level courses and is generally working at a level of service of near full time, with national visibility, etc.). I have, however, given him notice that if he is unsuccesful I will not be returning next year, since I will actually be losing money in the commute (60 miles each way), etc.
I’m worried, but I’m mostly insulted. Ugh!.
I need a job and money by the end of the week or we lose the house.
3 months with no income.
Ah, good luck to you both!
Yep! That’s scary. Good luck!
My mom is in surgery right now it should be okay but its taking longer than they said, and i over heard a surgeon say there is a big case and they are getting backed up. Add a few loud alarms. And I’m little scared. The waiting is hard, imagination is the enemy
Hang in there Boomer! The waiting part is the hardest on family. And it almost always takes longer than they say it will. 
Thinking good thots for you and your Mom!
It’s all fine now, 2 hours longer than they said but they tell us it went, well. But big sigh, it looks ok
Yea! Glad that it went well for her! Now you can relax a bit after all the worry.
Rodney destroyed my headset cord overnight. I kept it in a drawer in my desk (right below the computer), but Rodney’s managed to open that a couple times recently.
Between that, a section of carpet he keeps trying to pull up (even when I’m in the room with him) and the fact that he’s eaten parts of a couple of my shirts and a blanket, I’m starting to wonder if maybe he just isn’t a good fit for me. It really feels like he’s been getting worse the past couple months.
