Daily Dose 02/27/2008
My son must be working days since he hasn’t commented on the blog this week. He always comments when he works nights as he must get bored. Pretty sad when you read your mom’s blog at work because you’re bored. Poor kid.
Gosh! Another month is almost shot. We even have an extra day. I am trying to figure out what I’m going to do with my extra 24 hours this year. I mean, it’s not often you have time handed to you on a platter. The only thing that would make it better would be if the extra time was on a weekend — since my extra 24 hours is on a Friday, I’ll have to spend part of it with my employer. Doing pretty much what I do every day anyway. I think leap years, you should get that extra day as a holiday — let’s all send our Congressman a letter demanding the Federal government mandate Leap Year Day as a holiday.
Speaking of holidays — reminder to self to request an “official” list of holidays from HR so I can make sure the company calendar is updated.
We had some crackerjack thunderstorms yesterday! I had 10 dogs crammed into my office all vying for the space at my feet under the desk until the pyrotechnics decided to end. Meanwhile, I’m watching out the window and 4 or 5 deer decided it was play time in the front yard. I tried to get photos of them bucking and kicking and whooping it up in general, but with all that was going on at my feet, I’m afraid I didn’t get any good shots.
We even lost power for a few minutes, then one of the crowd unplugged the modem and that took me 10 minutes to troubleshoot. Darn scaredy cat dogs! At least I wasn’t in the middle of something that caused aggravation to re-create. I ended up working until 5:30, though when I should have been done by 4:00. I should have docked their pay. Reminder to self – no cookies at bed time tonight for the naughty dogs.
Well, I’m sure you’re sick of all this nonsense, and I really need to get on with doing something worthwhile (like actually EARNING my paycheck), so will let you move on to other things. 😛 Don’t take any wooden nickels. (do they even make those anymore?)
Love to all,
Margaret

Yes, I’m “off” this week – sorry I’ve been busy with appointments and such that I couldn’t get done last week. It’s not that work is boring, just that some nights there isn’t much going on. Speaking of which – notice how quiet the Chinese and the Russians have been since we successfully shot down that satellite? I guess you can’t argue with success. 🙂
Or maybe that should have been >:)
