nope - and they are gone. I am guessing that either there was a problem with one of the people working on the house - or a permit problem - or maybe even a neighbor complaint. but still when any blokes my driveway I get a bit freaked

Ben got his report card, today, all A, A-, and B grades. Score one for the good guys.

Yay for Ben!

I'm going to go be a breakfast temp tomorrow. Isn't one of the perks of a temp agency supposed to be work on short notice? Oh well.

I checked with my HR folks this afternoon before I left for some mental health time, and I'm entitled to three days of bereavement for immediate family, which MILs count as. If the funeral's on a weekday, I'm definitely using it, and I may take Friday if it's Saturday. The Puritan side of me says, "But you don't feel bereaved!" as the decadent part says, "Mini-vacation! Here's to you, Mom!"

Three days would be a god send if I was organizing things, of course, and karmically I don't think I'll abuse it. I've comforted myself by saying it'll look a little odd if I don't take one day after letting them know.

God speed, Iva Neil. connie, taking a day or two is perfectly acceptable, even if you aren't breaking down emotionally bereaved.

Much with the storming today. Much with the sick today. Much with the sleeping today.

beth, I have no fewer than four p-touch labellers. I love them. One even has a USB port so that you can layout and edit labels on a computer and then print them.

You know, it's really weird to think that what you consider a really simple task can be perceived as difficult by people who are intelligent and competent at what they do.

Connie take the full time and consider it a mini vacation. This way you can save your vacation or sick for other stuff.

I rushed home from shopping in order to get home to watch my Lightning play. They aren't. Versus dropped them in favor of the Bruins and Atlanta, which makes since because they are higher up in the standings but damnit! I want to see my boys play (even if they lose). Tomorrow night they are playing Pittsburg and that's not going to be shown (well on CEnter Ice) so I still haven't seen Crosby and Malkin.

And for some reason the color on Versus keeps screwing up and the Thrashers players are turning bright Blue Man Group blue, their skin I mean, which is weird since blue is a Thrashers color and at first I thought it was some werid promotion thing.

Heh. Go Connie, use the bereavement leave. I used a day, even though I was not bereaved. Could've had three, but figured I should not abuse the karma.
