The avalanche warning is down to High, and decreasing danger. God willing and the creeks don't rise, it should be Serious by evening. Apparently, we got less rain (to stabilize the snow instead of destabilizing it) and it's supposed to get colder and turn to snow (which sounds like a bad thing to me, but apparently it's a very good thing in the quantities expected). What this all means, in much greater detail than anyone really wanted, is: I'm going home tonight!!!

I hate answering the phone.

I hate answering the phone too. I don't even like answering my own phone, let alone my work phone.

In strange and wondrous news , I have spent most of today cleaning my house. The wondrous part - is although I see details that I will not get to 'til Monday at the earliest , I feel more in control than I have in months. I wish I would remember this basic lesson.

glad to here you will be in less danger , libkitty.

Mooooom, juliana made me laugh my annoying squirrel laugh!

Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh?
My dad said "Be an actor, my son
But be a comical one
They'll be standing in lines
For those old honky tonk monkeyshines"

YAY Aimee for besting algebra!

I didn't say this earlier -- but I 'm hoping that all goes well in your move. I know you'll be missed like craxy in CA but it sounds like you are doing something that will be great for you guys.

t hearts Juliana forever

My sister in Singing in the Rain love! I can sing that entire soundtrack, I'm pretty sure.

Today was a coworker's birthday so almost all the support staff shut down their offices and went to lunch to celebrate. We don't get to do that often and it was neat.

Except for our resident crazy co worker who offended the birthday girl. They were in the elevator and the co worker declared "omigod! oh my god. I've never seen calves that big." Refering to the birthday girl's legs.

She's also asked the SAME woman if she's pregnant at least twice in the last month, most recently making a joke that the woman should go to the store to get a pregnancy test to make sure. One the basis of that comment I advised they talk with her supervisor and let her know that Crazy Coworker's behavior is really out of line.

Edit - she didn't ask the birthday girl if she was pregnant twice, this was another co worker. However, she did ask the birthday girl if she was pregnant, even knowing that the birthday girl had a baby less than 6 mths ago.

Popping to say that I am horrified at askye's Crazy Coworker, and want to take that birthday girl out for some serious drinking.

I had someone at an amusement park once almost refuse to let me on a ride because she thought I was pregnant--I was a fat 12 year old wearing an empire-waisted peasant shirt (that was popular in the late '70s). To joke about that is just, just...grrrrrr.

One the basis of that comment I advised they talk with her supervisor and let her know that Crazy Coworker's behavior is really out of line.

Or possibly beat her upside the head with a giant cluestick.
