Kalshane, you're not in Wisconsin, are you? Because every. single word. you wrote, from the arbitrary and meaningless review to the unilateral reorganization, is what Former Evil Boss did here. He's now a CIO in Wisconsin. Dear lord, I hope it's not him.
As aurelia said, I live and work about 10 minutes south of the Wisconsin border.
When he first started here, he rattled off all the different places he worked. It seems like he works in a place for 6 months to a year, "fixes" everything, gets bored and moves on.
At this point I'm kind of hoping he sticks to his pattern.
(It didn't come out that well, but we're in the middle of a snowstorm here.)
As are we, though I have no camera. The sky is currently filled with big, fat flakes and the ground is turning white at an astonishing rate.
Hee to the NYC snowstorm. We will likely hit 80 today in NC. We're only 10 hours apart by car, and usually a little more in synch than that!Weather, she is weird.

Huh.

Just a few tiny flakes here....
Hey!
I eschewed the computer keyboard this morning, and instead watched
Dirty Jobs
on the TiVo. Chimney sweeping! Log diving & recovery & furniture making! Scrap metal processing with really big machines! All that you could ever want to watch over a healthy breakfast!
No snow here, but snow in the Northeastern States usually means snow here eventually.

So jealous. I love snow, but this is frelling ridiculous -- it's MARCH.
Reasons to watch the Oscars:
And it's about whether Philip Seymour Hoffman, if he wins for best actor, will keep a promise he made long ago. As he told David Letterman recently, he and Bennett Miller (also nominated for directing him in "Capote") made a pact with a third friend when they were all teenagers: the first one to win an Oscar would have to bark his acceptance speech like a dog and continue until he is hauled off the stage. Now that is the kind of Oscar memory that endures, the kind of magic we can all dream of seeing on Sunday.

The Blizzard of 1888 occurred on March 11. Part of the reason it was so devastating was that they had springlike weather the week before.

Then they're both frelling ridiculous. Why couldn't we have had this kind of weather back in January, when I wanted it to snow? Huh?
My boss's dog is strange. When I'm sitting she often comes over and wants me to pet her. But when I'm standing or walking she often acts like she's afraid of me.
She's a nearly fully-grown German Shepherd.
