So. Work. The great computer changeover happens this weekend, which — more power to them; I’m just glad I’m not important enough to be called in for weekend work. But the manuals — man, that is a story and a half. Way back when training started (November?) we all got an enormous 3-ring binder full […]
Some things we apparently collectively forgot how to do during the snow-less beginning of winter: 1. drive 2. plow roads 3. clear off cars for actual visibility 4. use turn signals And once again, all of our shovels and scrapers seem to have mysteriously disappeared! At the end of last winter, everyone was equipped: snow […]
We are now experiencing our first accumulating snow of the season, liberally mixed with sleet and predicted to change over to rain at some point this afternoon. It’s — kind of pretty, I guess. Right now it’s mostly very grey outside. Things I fee especially lucky to have in my life this morning: 1. hot […]
I really wanted to come up with some kind of epic quote for the last Monday of 2015, but I’ve been drawing a blank. However, one thing that has popped into my head many times in the past week or so is the “What You Can” New Year’s post by Hanne Blank, back in 2012. […]

1. Merry Christmas! 2. It’s a good day to eat a chocolate bar for breakfast. 3. Full moon tonight — that’s cool! 4. I remembered to give my cat his new catnip toy this morning. 5. The sun is up, Yuletide 2015 is up — let’s do this day!
No matter how you choose to spend the day, here’s a cute puppy who is 100% determined to be of assistance!
I am super lucky in my work schedule this week, since I managed to snap up two vacation days (yesterday and tomorrow). That does mean I’m headed to work today, which should be… interesting. The whole saga of the new computer system happening concurrent with the holiday season and end of the year has been […]
Okay, so my favorite moment of the movie — (I don’t think it’s too spoiler-y to say there is a bad guy, and he gets angry) — when the two storm troopers patrolling (or whatever? idk what they were doing) heard the bad guy being all ‘hulk smash’ and just noped right back the way […]
