I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am off for my appointment. I have my evil eye charm in my pocket, a cross necklace on, and an buttload of good thoughts.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

May they recognize your greatness, msbelle!

Ann, that's a ferret.

One that I was told about (names are changed to protect the guilty):

At the end of one day, Person (in DC) couldn't find his car keys. So he sent out an email along the lines of "Nobody may leave until I find my keys." And sent to all fellow employees. In an organization with a worldwide presence.

Luckily many of the people who hit "Reply All" also had a sense of humor. Along the line of "I've searched my office [in Chicago, or LA, or Guam] and can't find them. May I go home now?"

Unfortunately, IT deleted the email and response before morning overseas. So the fun ended there.

I don't understand this heat thing you people are talking about. Chicago is cold and wet and foggy and dismal.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay, it's clearly one of those days where even with productivity in place, I'm not going to actually get anything done, because every damn thing will need just one more thing before I can finish. And I'm too tired to do the one more thing. Maybe I should just file and shred. Surely I can handle that, right?

Keep it simple - skip the filing and shred everything?

Tempting.
