Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

no snow here, but temps did drop and will continue to.

Yesterday we needed the A/C in the office and today we need heat. We are all going to get sick.

ION - MCPHEE IS BACK from getting married and honeymoon and my place was so messy and she cleaned it all. I really did try to stay on top of stuff. I got sheets changed and did almost all the laundry while she was gone. I kept the dishes washed and the sink clean, but half the rooms were not vacuumed and clutter MY GOD THE CLUTTER. Also, I still have Christmas stuff out and she got a chunk of that put away.

I was at work until 6 last night, got home, got a call from a friend who had run out of gas, went to get her, get her gas, and back to her car, then came home, ate and went back to work for an hour. I have these reports I have to run, and the initiate customers getting billed. I cannot run them while we are shipping and all last week we were shipping until 6pm, so no reports run. boo. Last night they shipped until 6:45, but since my bosses boss had called twice about these reports I worked from 8pm to 9pm getting 90% of them run. grr.

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

MCPHEE IS BACK

WOO. Congrats to McPhee on her wedding, and to her for having her back again!

Yay McPhee! I need a McPhee.

Flurrying here, but it doesn't sound like it will get to snowy in upstate.

My cafeteria has the most unappetizing names for vegetable blends. Today there is one called "Chuck Wagon", which reminds me of dog food. It is Corn, Red Pepper, Onion, Green Pepper, though. Which seems more like "Southwest Blend" to me. Nothing on the menu sounds good to me today, and I hate their sandwich meat.

I bet they were going for "cowboy food" with "chuck wagon."

This is a line in the description of the "Beefy Italian" soup: seasoned with smoked pork concentrate and ham base. I was all set to order it, and then that turned me off. I think I am getting the chicken ceasar salad, but with blue cheese instead of ceasar dressing. I miss the cobb salad.

Man, I love Kaiser. I finally got into the system again (I signed up on December 1st, but it took 7 weeks to get my information sent over from the exchange and pay my premium) and booked the first available mammogram slot. Which is in half an hour, so I'm off to get my boobs squeezed.

(I know not everyone has had good experiences with Kaiser, but they've been great for my family.)

I love paying bills at work, not work bills, my bills. Taking care of necessary life stuff and not taking my home time to do it? awesome. perhaps my boss would not feel the same, but it is much less of a timesuck than say, looking on pinterest for pretty things.

ION, I am winning the battle against the papers this week. Yesterday I processed and filed shipping statements from last Thurs- Sat, and then paid and filed 15 or so invoices. Today I am dealing with yesterday's shipping statements and then tackling some more problematic stuff that just keeps getting put off (and buried). I have a week old request to find some statements from 2012. I thought I had them, but I had statement type A box pulled from 2012 and I need statement type B box. These old docs are stored in boxes in a shipping container on our dirty yard that we use as a storage shed. I avoid going out to them, but I think I will have to today.

No snow here, in fact it's already over 70 out.
