It is always Johnny Cash Day in my salt mine, even if I happen to be wearing stuff with lots of colors-other-than-black.
Barely caught up - I have so much to do!
Stay warm, with no flakes… 
I am wearing black activewear pants and a royal blue cotton shirt and slippers. But I am about to go put on shorts, tank and sneakers and do some time on the treadmill. After that some purtification will take place before I head out to find shoes to wear with interview suit.
Glad you’re hot water is back, ems. That must be on the list of life necessities somewheres.
bobbio, yuck! I’d rather have a foot of the flakey stuff than ice.
I called my former HR director this morning and left a VM requesting info on the payout date for my severence package. No call back yet and it’s kinda pissing me off and making me nervous.

I’m wearing jeans, a big bulky teal turtleneck, and narrow-heeled brown ankle-height boots. Exciting.
I’m almost to the point of counting down the minutes until vacation. I’m really tired of work right now. (Who isn’t?) Maybe a few days in warmer temperatures and (hopefully) some sunshine will help.
I’m wearing a light blue button-down shirt, and black jeans. I’m home but that’s what I wore to work today, and just haven’t gotten out of yet… And this is considered dressy by Israeli high-tech standards… :eek:
**DoRe **-- there are some flakes right here in the MMP (e.g., yours truly :D)
And I’m not touching the marriage/fidelity question again, with a 10 foot pole or with a 3 foot midget… :o
It’s raining here, and the mountains are supposed to get some snow (like, maybe a few inches.) I’m jealous [noparse]:pouts:[/noparse]
Oh and, Nava?? if you’re home and reading this right now, you shouldn’t have skipped that seminar!!! 
I am wearing a sequined coture gown by Versace with modest 3" Manolo slingbacks
Naptime!
Just weighed myself – first time under 200 lbs in at least two years! 
Yay!!!
(And it’s not like I’m tall enough to justify weighing anywhere near that much – 5’8" on a good day)
Don’t forget to mention your *liar liar pants on fire! *
I wound up working an hour over - this project has gotten out of control and the team lead is pretty spineless. She can’t seem to say no to anyone - except for me… I will be so glad when March gets here - this idiot exercise in futility will be history!
Heard a rumor today that we’re supposed to get 4’ of snow this weekend. I’m guessing that was started by some idiot for some idiotic reason. Some forecasters are saying we could get as much as we did in Dec (when we got 18" here) and others are saying flurries. Who knows? If I have to shovel, it’s too much.
Sketties for supper. That’s all I’ve got.
Why are you still in your nightie!
Howdy Y’all! I’s home and fed. I worked late so I decided the deli at the Pubic store would make dindin, bein’ as it’s right by the workplace. I got a rotisseried chicken, some green beans, N.O.T. sallit and some rolls. 'Twas pretty good.
I took some beast stew and some chicken noodle soup out of the freezer for dindins the next couple of nights plus some steaks to throw on the grill maybe Firday or Sattidy. I suppose I shall need to do some quantity cookin’ over my weekstart bein’ as it appears I will continue this trend towards extra work hours through the week. Le Sigh.
Ok, off to snoop around the Dope and FB for a while.
That’s an awesome flowchart, Bobbio!
Isn’t that outfit a bit dressy for work, rosie?
Where are you going on vacation, taxi? (Can’t remember.)
Me, I’m wearing dark blue cords, royal blue turtleneck, off-white pullover. Highly elegant, as always.
Our weather is supposed to be pretty stable, I think, not much snow or cold or anything. ::knocks on wood::
Guess I’ll knit for a while.
Back later.

Home from work. Someone took one of the mice (mouses?) out of the library sometime between Monday at 6pm and today. Why would anyone steal a mouse? :rolleyes:
I am in my jammies, eating organic popcorn and watching Bad TV. I’m happy.
Work was completely fubarred. I am being pulled into some bullshit and I’m doing my damndest to try and stay out of it.
I’ve got two huge taskers sitting over my head, and I can’t get anywhere with either of them. I stayed late today, and I’ll probably have to stay even later tomorrow. Frankly, I should have stayed later today, but I am burned out.
Both taskers are due Friday and I know I’m not going to make it. One of taskers, requires several different kinds of analyses (ROI, make-buy, among others) based on all sorts of variable data.
Unfortunately, the data I need to use needs to be cleaned up first because nobody believes in consistency when it comes to naming conventions. So, I have to do it the hard way, because I can’t automate it. Damn it.
I’m stressing big time and I think it’s total bullshit that I got stuck with this tasker. Unfortunately, I don’t have a say in it, and since both bosses directed I do it; I don’t have a choice.
God, I’m tired, cranky and hungry.
Worked, napped, went to the Backyard Bistro and watched the Canes lose. There was more bloodshed than Iwo Jima, but free nachos from the owner. I’m wearing khakis, black shirt, and a Staal Canes jersey.
lunch, are you molesting midgets again?
Good mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN
Today I am wearin’ a black/gray plaid shirt (very tasteful!), black pants, black socks, white tshirt and my drawers are red with a palm tree pattern. So, at least part of my inner garments are festive.
Today’s weather starts out sorta ick, progresses to ick, then yuck and culminates tomorrow in eew! ick! yuck! This means a lot of rain comin’ in. The stuff that will head north and turn to snow for some of y’all over the weekend.
Ok, need to feed rumbly tummy and purtify for work.
Happy Thursday Y’all!
I had beerverages last night and they were very nice. It meant a late night, and I didn’t sleep very well so I am tired today and not very motivated.
On the plus side, it’s someone’s birthday here so we have cake and we’re going out for lunch to a local branch of Café Rouge - the online menu says I will be having salmon fishcakes which suits me fine.
Tonight I plan to veg at home and do very little, unless I get a sudden fit of something or other and switch on the Wii. Or maybe I’ll just soak in the bath and laze on the sofa with a book. Decisions, decisions…
::yawns:: Morning all, I’m up and caffeinating, ceptin’ my eyes are still only half-open.
I have had a brekkie, though, of banana, cottage cheese and oatbread toast with a bit of nutella spread on it. YUM!
I whistling with my ears plugged up when the weather reports come on here - it is sounding more and more like we’re gonna be slammed again - starting around noon tomorrow. :eek: I’ll probably go in, but will also probably leave before noon.
Happy Thursday all … has Dotty checked in yet? Hope all is okay with her - sending good thoughts her way.
Up, caffeinated, off to work.
Sending good thoughts to **Dotty **, and to all of you that need some calm in your lives.
I am wearing brown pants, brown socks, brown shoes, and a 3/4 sleeve brown and red paisley top. And my black hoody that I keep at work 'cuz it’s always freezing in here!
I got this email with some cute grandparent stories:
Grandparents
She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter, as she’d done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, “But Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!” I will probably never put lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper good-bye…
After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair… As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, “Who was THAT?”
A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like: “We used to skate outside on a pond I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods.” The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, “I sure wish I’d gotten to know you sooner!”
My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, “Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?” I mentally polished my halo and I said, "No, how are we alike?’’ “You’re both old,” he replied.
A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather’s word processor. She told him she was writing a story. “What’s it about?” he asked. “I don’t know,” she replied. “I can’t read.”
I didn’t know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was… She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last, she headed for the door, saying, “Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these, yourself!”
When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, “It’s no use Grandpa. Now the mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights.”
A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, “Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today.” The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. “That’s interesting,” she said, “how do you make babies?” “It’s simple,” replied the girl. “You just change ‘y’ to ‘i’ and add ‘es’.”
Children’s Logic: “Give me a sentence about a public servant,” said a teacher. The small boy wrote: “The fireman came down the ladder pregnant…” The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. “Don’t you know what pregnant means?” she asked. “Sure,” said the young boy confidently. 'It means carrying a child."
A grandfather was delivering his grandchildren to their home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog’s duties. “They use him to keep crowds back,” said one child. “No,” said another. “He’s just for good luck.” A third child brought the argument to a close…“They use the dogs,” she said firmly, “to find the fire hydrants.”
A 6-year-old was asked where his grandma lived. “Oh,” he said, “she lives at the airport, and when we want her, we just go get her. Then, when we’re done having her visit, we take her back to the airport.”
