Petticoats or trains would be fine as long as the job doesn't involve welding or moving belts, right?

If ND lets me use a welding torch, I will obey any required safety dress code. POWER TOOLS OF FIRE.

Typically not welding torches, but occasionally angle grinders, which make amazing showers of sparks.

Not only is the person who took on a shitton of my extra work plus some new projects leaving, we may not be able to replace her anytime soon because of changes in hiring practices (positions are now domain of division not branches & current division leadership...um we keep our distance for Reasons.)

And she was really, really good. There are at least 2 other coworkers I'd ditch to keep her.

I'm tired.

Ugh, no fun, sarameg. I hope a solution comes to light.

I am off and running. Basketball tournament. Tired.

I am awaiting a train to Paris, and have no idea what we will do the next couple days, but hope it will be fun and tasty! Went to another game last night (Jamaica Italy) and have US-Chile tomorrow

I used to do tech theatre in tights and a form fitting knit mini skirt. Not sure anyone wants that now that I am over 40. But the long pants would be a dealbreaker for me unless they could be black jogging or something. My body does not do pants

Also, doesn't everyone know that monkeys ride backwards on pigs? [link]

Timelies all!

Had a nice day so far. Got a pedicure, using the gift certificate I got for Mother's Day, and now my toenails are sparkly. Then went to the Montgomery Mall and bought a new iPad mini(my current one is first generation, still runs, but a lot of apps won't work with an OS that old), a Father's Day gift for Gary and a couple shirts for me.

Now I get to play with my new toy...

Yay new toy!

I had a decent driving morning, then collapsed for a nap when I got home. Yesterday I went by my favorite Ethiopian restaurant for lunch, so I had the decent-sized leftovers for lunch today.

I need to get more stuff organized in my house. We had a special inspection by the private contractor who is working for the Green Line extension that is being constructed near my house -- it will document whether if there is damage should an embankment fall over or et cetera. Really, not much chance, but I'd rather be in teh clear legally if there was a problem that I needed to sue.

But having Very Polite and Professional Strangers in the house and having them take pictures (which will never see the light of day unless there's a legality) really brings to you how much needs to be done to get rid of boxes of Stuff that we're not using.

I just made whoopie pies for a family party tomorrow, and they are enormous! Oops. I guess they are whoopie pie size, but still.

My weekend is all celebrating -- high school graduation party last night, baby shower today, family bdays tomorrow....

I met up with an old friend to watch Late Night this afternoon. Then we wandered around a park catching Pokémon for a while. It was a nice Saturday.

Sorry about the work issues, Atropa and son of Laura. I hope both find something engaging soon.
