Aren't you glad you know the sick policy SO WELL??

Everyone around me is sick with one thing or another. A couple are dancing with pneumonia. I think I just have a headache from the weather.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

-t I am in the Director for Human Resources office. Right now I don't know enough to do anything, but I will be the project manager and special assistant. So like emergency coverage plans and gathering info on fast-tracking telework approvals and flagging processes that are still all done on paper - I think some of that is about to become urgent.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yup, that sounds like you'll be in the middle of a lot!

Herding cats for fun

TWO DOLLARS! I want Zen to get the two dollars!

Heh. It's fun every time I remember the Paperboy.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I just walked into the family room and DH was watching a YouTube video on spreadsheets.

Me: "Spreadsheets? Really? Spreadsheet porn? I think I would prefer you watching regular porn." DH: "It's technically macro coding language porn—Visual Basic.."

Me: "Ah ah ah, I don't want the sordid details."

DH: "We can watch something else if you like."

We prefer the term Excelomancy, Cashmere.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Well, not as exciting as a spreadsheet, but I thought this was cute.

Our wings are not tired.

Mmmm, Excelomancy.

Msbelle, the new job sounds challenging, in a good way!

DH arrived back in Florida this morning and is zooming towards mid state for the basketball finals. He's emotionally exhausted, but good. He was struck by the contrasts in Jamaica. The stunning natural beauty vs the horrific poverty. His friend's home is right on the ocean and covered in iron grates and big locks. We'll go back together to visit after things settle some to distract his extra mom.

FWIW, DH was asked at the Miami airport if he had been to China or Iran, but there was no other variety of screening.
