Hockey is great to see in person, doesn't translate nearly as well to television.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have no Reese's peanut butter eggs, and that makes me sad.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
The city has marked a lot of trees for removal if they're between the sidewalk and curb, especially if their root system has damaged the sidewalk. (The city planted them lo these many years ago, but let's ignore that.) So my next-door neighbor's tree is being cut down right now (which is sad, although it will radically cut down on how much raking we have to do in the fall).
But it's also noon on the first Wednesday of the month, so the tornado siren is being tested. The siren combined with the chainsawing makes it feel kind of post-apocalyptic out there. I'm expecting to hear a Godzilla roar any minute now.

Well, to follow up, after thinking overnight I spoke with my boss this morning. He'd already spoken with HIS higher-up and they've decided to table the thing for now.
I told him what I specifically didn't want - having the guy dump a fistful of crumpled receipts and have me do the reports - since this wouldn't solve the basic problem (which is the guy runs up charges but doesn't report what they're for or even which trip it was). Boss agreed that this wouldn't solve anything (except my copious spare time).
I suggested getting a cellphone app that would allow the guy to take a photo of any receipts and then categorize them, since he carries the phone with him. Boss said that sounded promising and, after a little research, found some links for such apps.
yay?
And thanks for the sympathy, good wishes and so on.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Who would like to give me make-up advice? Anyone? Bueller?

Love the hat!
Msbelle - someday. . . possibly after he has moved out of the house, Mac will appreciate you. Too bad it's such a pita before hand.
Still gray and yucky here. . . but I am feeling better. (For no good reason. . .)

I can try, Zen, though I don't have a makeup doctorate like some people around here.

Absolutely! The speed just doesn't show up on the screen.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have pale pinky skin and brown circles around my eyes. Every concealer I've tried either doesn't work, or leaves a tell-tale white ring around my eyes. The advice I've read online says yellow concealer will work, but I can't believe yellow would work on my otherwise mostly melanin-less skin. Help?
