Nah. Keep it here. Think of it as a 'blitz'. A way to give this one the big send off that's fast approaching.

We could do a welcome new people/SM get better blitz.:)

As a supervisee who sometimes acts this way, I can understand your pain. :)

Twice this week, I've had to sit someone down for a conversation on the level of, "While you are on these premises, you may not touch your coworkers or their belongings without their consent".

(Not exactly the issue in either case, but on the same level of WTF-itude. All I can say is, "Aargh!")

Some people just never grow up, can be so frustrating.
Seriously. Having to explain a concept that should have been mastered in elementary school should be grounds for immediate dismissal.

Does that mean we can dismiss certain people from the boards?

I like this thought process....

~chuckles~ Well, it is a bit less than 60 days. We will be getting married at the Davneport House Museum courtyard at 5:30 pm on 2-14-2011. It is just a ten minute ceremony, but it is still a nice place. After that, we will be meeting some of my friends at the Crystal Beer Parlor for a little get together.

AWESOME! Congrats. :)

By the way, when I came out of my badger den, I couldn't see my shadow, so I mauled the next door neighbor, and went back inside. I think that means 8 more weeks of winter. (Sorry, Northeast)
No! No more winter! Early spring!

Nope. If he mauls the neighbor across the street, winter ends early. If its the next-door neighbor, it's eight more weeks. :)

I could be in trouble in that case. I can get pretty cranky on political threads.;)

And you don't FB. Can't have your cake and eat it too. ;-)

Of course you can!

grabs cake, eats it, hates on facebook

See how easy that was?

You know, it's ironic that there's more followers on your Facebook fanpage than your own blogspot that you manage. ;-)

Yes, ON FB just use a thread in all of the places you can. Add it like a slice of pie too.

Here, well Fryer set up a SPuerbowl thread, you can always take it over. :)

Got into the office late - don't have an ice scraper anymore and couldn't get into the car. I'd brought my laptop home to work from home for just such a case, so I puttered about on the laptop this morning...then my home internet started crapping out. Well...it's late morning, maybe things have warmed up close enough to freezing I can get my car cleared. I start the car and turn on the heaters full blast, and have to use (so embarassing) a plastic food spatula and a wooden rice paddle to scrape enough ice off that my car is road worthy.

The drive in was quite anti-climactic, but I think that's mostly because I already always take side roads into work. Most of the highways are at least partially shut down.

I think we had about 10% of people show up to work today.

Lovely flat tire this morning. (And I'm not talking about the beer.)

So now I get to waste time and spend money I don't have to get things fixed.

Happy Friday.

Sorry to hear that. I worry daily about my tires. I need new ones.

Some folks say I'm a jockpuppet...but it's just an understandable case of mistaken identity.

Edited for order clarity.

That's more clear? What?

I guess not, given the response. I thought "jockpuppet" was a coining of singular wit and hilarity, given all the female sockpuppets, but...waa...

Knee still hurts after 3 weeks, nausea from medication still hasn't completely let up. Sleeping 12 hours a day from increased serotonin from the same medication. Time to take this old horse out to pasture and shoot him.....

I haven't seen Moorluck today. As for my hubby, he's working. He finished his thesis and submitted it but he managed to get a contract with the Wildlife Service that'll take him til summer to complete and then he has another contract for a month this summer in Alaska. So he's been busy.

Wow. What line of work are you in?

I'm a librarian.

And mostly I love my job, but I'm pretty introverted, so being a supervisor requires constant effort and communication, because my natural instinct is to hole up in my office and get stuff done. :)

I know how that is. It's why I usually avoid supervisor roles. :)

Well, Larry was fully prepared to declared his feelings for Laura, until he learned that she still had feelings for his uncle's son's former college roomate. Meanwhile, Linda was shocked to learn that, despite her best efforts, Lana was going to go through with her plans to sell their late father's prized collection of Will Wonka and the Chocolate factory prop memorabilia. And, across town, several travellers were trapped when flood waters filled with ferocious....No, wait! That's my soap opera!

I have talked to the doctor, she says the nausea will decrease over a matter of weeks (it has a little still a pain though) the sleeping is a consequence of more serotonin in my system I just have to power through it I guess. And as for the knee I hesitate to mention it because I have had knee surgery before and hated it, and I hope to never have knee surgery ever again.
