Considering there have been multiple complaints about him to managment and to corporate HR I'm pretty sure that the resolution is going to be - my co worker will try to get into a different departmetn (he's already trying) and/or he'll quit. And nothing will happen to my supervisor and he'll continue to drive off employees.

In Feb there is a big survey they do for the entire company. I'm going to be brutally honest, it's not anonymous if you leave comments but it's the only outlet I have.

Another successful day on Elementary where I YET AGAIN did not end up in the slam.

For instance, at lunch, I did not throw and elbow into the person next to me and shove their unconscious figure beneath the table when I saw a certain person looking for a place to sit. EVEN THOUGH he had just put a whole bunch of whip cream on his desert AND was actively taking a bite. I'm a goddam humanitarian.

You're a saint. So, are you recurring? Or just happy to say yes to working when they need an extra?

They just call me a fair amount. It's pretty much luck.

A certain actress was directing this episode and even without a stitch of makeup she barely looks thirty.

Huh.

You must let us know when your episodes air so that we can keep our eagle eyes out for you.

Snow - well, DC got through it ... sort of. On the radio this morning, there were all these horror stories of multi-hour commutes. Luckily, I was on a bus with a good driver - took it slow, was careful, tapped the brakes - all the things you should do but so many don't. A good section of the city lost power and, in those areas, there were no traffic lights. This meant that a lot of drivers treated it as a "go right on through" sign.

Years ago, they were doing a "This Old House" in DC and there was HALF AN INCH of snow ... and the entire town shut down. The guys on the show - from Boston - thought it was hilarious.

It's nice in DC just now barring, of course, the 'feels like' 6 degrees wind. Still, sun and mostly shoveled sidewalks.

I have a word challenge for this clever community...

Without suggesting any sort of desperation, I need to hire 4 full time dog walkers...like NOW. We've been posting ads on craigslist, bulletin boards, facebook, listservs...you name it.

Still, we are not getting quality candidates.

I'm thinking it is our language. Too boring. Non-specific.

I need some really fun, engaging wording to capture people's attention. Sadly, I am much more passionate than I am clever.

YOU GUYS, on the other hand, are wicked funny and smart.

Anything pop off the top of your head?

DO YOU LIKE PINA COLADAS? AND GETTING LOST IN THE RAIN? We're looking for a few reliable, patient dog lovers. The drinks are a no-no on company time, and getting lost is a bad idea, but if you like long walks, getting kisses, handing out delicious snacks AND getting paid a competitive wage for for hanging out with man's best friend, we want you! Contact _____ ASAP if you're a savvy dog person ready to make a commitment. MUST LOVE DOGS: not just a Cusack movie.

That's awesome Strix. Thanks.

De nada!
