Uck--does it show much? I hope it wasn't a tomato-ey soup, at best.
I meant to mention--if your version of old is "can't do my normal 3 mile run", well, you're significantly younger than I am, who's never been up for one of those, never mind normal.
Aren't these beautiful? They look like they could inspire so many stories. All their stuff is pretty gorgeous, and it's not often you can see the following phrase:
such notable individuals as Norman Schwartzkopf, Juan Carlos King of Spain, Pope John Paul II and Bo Derek
Oy, Consuela. At least houndstooth is busy?
I'm going to have dinner with my grandmother -- my parents are still out of town -- and I asked her if she wants me to get lobster rolls from the supermarket, and she's all lobster-ed out! I never thought I'd see the day! But her niece was staying with her all week, so I bet they went out a lot, and the niece is from RI, but lives in the Midwest now, so I bet she was psyched for seafood.
Ahg. Meeting hell with bonus phone tag. I'm getting nothing done.
Lobstered out? Does not compute.
I don't remember the last time I had a lobster roll...
I am trying to download the latest version of Vectorworks on my work computer and the time remaining is bouncing around between 5 hours and 30 hours. *sigh*
I'll take a lobster roll. I don't think I've ever had one.
So, the bonus I got last week wasn't for one of the projects I've been busting my ass over, working all these OT hours. Instead it is for being willing to provide support for a program I stopped using about 5 years ago.
The program was built in house in about 1995 and has been supported by a contract employee. She maintains the program, leads any new contract ser-ups, training new users, working with corporate systems when there are integrations changes, and so much more. Well, she is retiring next month and corporate is now realizing how much she was doing and how screwed they are once she leaves. She gave them 6 months notice and they have been trying to figure out how to fill the coming void. So far it looks like at least 3 people will be picking up pieces of the work. I've had at least 3 meetings with corporate folks to provide my input even though it isn't part of my job description anymore.
So, anyway, bonus is nice, even after taxes. My boss sent me the write up, copying his boss, then someone else copied a couple of corporate mucky mucks and I'm feeling very blushy.
Timelies all!
Despite having grown up in New England, I don't think I've ever had a lobster roll. Lobster, yes.(There was a place in a nearby town that had a double lobster special that my family would get.)
I went to a place called Lunch out towards the South Fork that was supposedly renowned for its lobster rolls. It was 95% cole slaw. Very untasty and disappointing.
And I'm going to a networking event after work tonight.
D'oh. I'm trying to shove a Shout wipe through the series of tubes.
My Fitbit Flex arrived! Now I just need to get used to wearing something on my wrist again.
I'm trying to shove a Shout wipe through the series of tubes.
Well, you can't really see it, but I do hope I don't smell of chicken and coconut milk.
