Heh. My boss is organizing a 1-day trip to Chicago for all the freelancers, and she emailed everyone to find out what dates were not good. Everyone has replied to all and said "PLEASE pick a warmer month!" Apparently last year the trip was in January and was ridonkulously cold. I might stab someone if I have to take a trip in this weather to an even COLDER place.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am kinda rocking today. I've done the thing requested by my boss, checked invoice queue, check reconciliations, and have started report for tomorrow.
Also contacted potential tutors for Mac, updated contribution amount for my 401k, and sent out an group email I needed to get before Sat.
I still want to get to the trip planning, but all this other personal stuff is more pressing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Speaking of Chicago, the windchill advisory ended 47 minutes ago. And it is now snowing like a MoFo.

Chicago in the spring could be pleasant.

Chicago in the spring could be pleasant.
I was there one year in late June and foolishly didn't pack anything with long sleeves. I came home with a new sweatshirt. But still, right now, a temperature where all I need as outerwear is a sweatshirt sounds great.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Chicago in the spring is nice, from my brief acquaintance with it.
I hope ita is asleep and pain-free.
askye, may your medical and doctor problems be solved quickly. You've had to deal with this mess for far too long already. This Dr. C seems utterly unhelpful.
It is 19 degrees here now. I'm staying inside in my warm fluffy robe until it gets to at least 35. Frozen water on the inside of windows? Oh hell naw. I would go mad and caulk everything up with plastic and foam.

People (not me) were complaining that the section of the office where I sit was noticeably colder than the rest of the office, so now they're twiddling with the controls to try to get this section warm. I'm happier with it being cooler, but a number of other people are seriously uncomfortable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sounds like my August trip to SF one year! I have to confess, at the time I was really happy with the break from summer. This is why I live in a temperate climate! I like the variety!
