Feel better!

Good luck with the training!

I'm here. It's cold. That's all.

Well, everyone else called in sick.  Stuck here. 

Good morning all.

Finally home again. The funeral for my uncle was wonderful. What a wonderful celebration of life! We danced out of the church to polka music. It was great!

Enjoyed catching up with lots of family. I think our hearts sang in reunion. It truly was a good day.

My brother is in surgery this morning. He has an exo-gastric hernia, so I'm anxiously awaiting on news of a successful surgery.

Hope to finish the quilt yet today. I will send it to a professional quilter with a long arm soon. I want this one to be perfect.

Hope everyone has a great day today. Especially, TRUDY!!

 You'll be fine as long as they numb you properly.

Trudy, you should get a bulk box of "hot hands".

Put them under you feet, in pockets and scarves.

When I was in band they were absolutely vital. We would put the smallest ones in our gloves.

Made a huge difference.

Oh, yeah.  I remember those things!  My office is in an old colonial house.  Think New England.  The wind whips through it.

 I get it.

Hey, think they'd let you hang those heavy, plastic cold barriers like they put on big freezer doors?

Would a space heater next to your desk help? I worked in an old, drafty office and it saved me, at least while I was sitting at my desk. Then again, it was in California so how cold did it really get.

I have one. It purrs all day. I swear I could punch through the wall.

I'm having a moment. One of our VPs just gets on my last nerve. She is so demanding and helpless. She wants everyone to drop everything when she decides to grace us with her time. Um, not happening. We are all doing multiple jobs, I can't cater to you. Oh, and I DONT WORK FOR YOU! Whenever you do something for her, she makes a big show of thanking you - but it's so fake, I would rather she just didn't say anything than to patronize me like that.

Rant over........for now

I found out I have black mold in basement. Ugh the nightmare but at least the renters will be leaving so that's a plus.

Oh my, hope it doesn't cost you a fortune to get rid of that awful mold.  

Ow.

 Yeah that is my worry too.  Of course when bad things happen the first thing I do is call my mother.  She said a good friend of my brother does mold remediation so at least I won't be ripped off & may get a possible discount if I have my brother set it up for me.

Good morning, everyone!

Cloudy and 44 here. Rain is on the way.

I want to go back to bed.

I would take a 44 degree day!

Sounds like we will be in the deep freeze here soon.

Can you get a nap in today? Hope so!

I sure hope it works out for you and is not the really bad kind of mold. Go brother's friend!

How the heck did this person get to be VP?

She sounds like a huge waste of time. 

---

 I have no idea. We don't know what she does with most of her time. She's always late, makes everyone wait on her, her office is a mess (it got deemed a "fire hazard" during our last safety inspection), and is always running around flustered. She makes a big deal about how she's "been answering emails since 4 this morning" or the like.....as she rushes into an 8:30am meeting at 9:15 because she just got to the office when the work day starts at 8 here :-/ it's how she is, and we all just have to deal with her. Luckily for me, I get to tell her no sometimes, and it feels so good. She tried to get me to do her expense report a couple weeks ago. She wouldnt come out and ask me to do it, she was hinting by asking questions about how to do it. Finally she goes "so what I'm hearing is I need to do this myself?"  I was like, um, yeah. Most of the time I can grin and bare it, but I've barely slept since Saturday and I'm already fried. I just can't deal with her $hit today.

How the heck does she keep her job? Gosh, what a waste of money for the company.

I would probably cringe every time I saw her coming..biting my tongue too.

LOL! No nap for me, Czech!

I just spent the past half hour reading up on how to get rid of Asian Long horned beetles. 

Wayne's brother, who lives in western PA, got a load of firewood that is infested with the critters.

Bill doesn't have a computer, so, when ever he needs something researched, I get the phone call!

What a trip.

She used to have a minion that did all of these things for her - all the stuff VP thinks is beneath her. But, minion left the company, and with our current situation, they did not fill the position. Minion's real duties were distributed to those of us left. However, doting on VP was not actually part of minion's official job. So VP has been trying guilt us into doing her stuff since.

Ugh, they cut all the trees down around here due to that Beetle.

That's a bummer, Trudy. 

Ugh. Morning all. Getting ready to go to the urologist.

Nope. No stone yet. He says he's not in pain anymore and thinks the stone is in his bladder. So who knows. I've decided I'm going to try to be a lot nicer to him since he's not drinking any coffee.
