meara - what a stressful morning. I hope your bags made it.
Of course Mrs Teppy was right. Duh.
I do not want to be awake or functioning. Instead I'm trying to gear up to deal with some work stuff before I go back to my new crochet project.
You walk in worlds the others can't begin to imagine.

Geez. Her reply was "It's always good to check, and now we have documentation in case Senior Management notes the discrepancy."
THE HELL? I seriously think she doesn't understand that "median" refers to one study and "average" refers to a completely different study. Why is it so weird that 2 unrelated studies might use different statistics?
I'm going to assume she's overworked b/c of the holidays and try to let it go. But that's just weird. She's normally really on top of stuff like this.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Just at a guess, Senior Management won't have a problem with the discrepancy.
I was surprisingly able to breathe out of both nostrils when I woke this morning, so I've trundled off to work. Crossing my fingers for a quiet day.

Sounds like "Dammit, I know this stuff! Where is my brain! I know, I'll blame senior management."
ION, sweet mother, that wind! 75 mph gusts in the northern part of the state. They've shut down the freeway because of semis blown over. My Jeep is on hte small side when it comes to SUVs, but I was getting knocked out of my lane. Thank god half of the usual traffic wasn't there.
I bet the wind map looks cool.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'll agree, it is a very impressive wind, Connie. We are clearly parking ourselves in Utah until the New Year, but that was the plan anyway.

Petterino's is easily doable, but Beatrix looks more interesting. What do you think?
I haven't been to Beatrix yet, but their menu makes me want one of everything. Let's try it.

Made a Target run. 9:30 on a Tuesday seems like the best time to visit. Now I need to go a few doors down to get guinea pig and dog care instructions, but I'm piled with cats. They're warm.

The winds must be dying down some. The canyons in the mountains funnel the air into brutal speeds. The trees that are planted near the mouths of the canyons all grow at an angle due to the constant wind. But that's why one of the top ten hang glider spots in the world is about 5 miles from where I currently am.

I find that Tuesday is the best time to do stuff. People have gotten stuff done on the weekend, the forgetful people have gone on Monday, the stores have restocked from the forgetful people and the weekend people, and the weekend people are still planning for the next weekend.
