one of those mornings
Today has just been one of those "I have no work ethic" mornings. It is not that I have no work to do (never seem to have that problem) it is that I am not motivated to do a bloody thing here. I want to read a novel (All my reading recently seems to be technical or educational. Not a bad thing but I need brain candy), or play in the garden, or nap ( Read more... ) -
Your tax dollars at work

How ... odd
Okay, I will freely confess that I am no slave to fashion. But with that caveat I have got to say a few words about the stunning and snappy dressers in my office. Yea yea I know I work with engineers and worse than that some of them are researching types on top of it but for christ’s sake will you people consider basic color theory?

You called me a WHAT?
Everyone uses their blog in a different way. Somewhere along the way I made the decision that I was not going to use this as a forum for my daily tribulations, rants and issues with the stupidity of humanity. (perhaps that is why I don’t post so often, but that is topic for consideration in perhaps another post). I really try to do somewhat as my ( Read more... ) -
Which day was this??
Apparently this is one of those weeks that is so crammed full that my brain has truly left the building. I keep misplacing Thursday (yes today). Last night I freaked that is was nearly the end of the week and I still had too many things to do. This morning I was CONVINCED it was Friday, and that as such I had missed 2 appointments I was supposed to ( Read more... ) -
Bliss Defined
Bliss - the state of waking up to the sound of birds chirping, on a cool crisp morning. Bedroom window open, warm comforter on the bed, dog snoozing at my feet keeping them warm. It was the PERFECT temperature for sleeping. Unfortunately, not long after that the alarm went off telling me it was time to get up and go play in traffic. -
Yes I heard

Who took my weekend??
Another weekend gone and nothing much to show for it. This one had Dave and I both running station duty on Friday and Saturday nights (Sat is an every six-ish week rotation and makes for a short weekend). Saturday during the day I headed off to a meeting that took all morning and left me feeling … flat. But it was followed by a lively Mexican food ( Read more... ) -

Way more response than expected
Wow, so the buttons post evoked a bit more response than I had planned on. That is good, if leaves me a bit feeling like I should sacrifice sleep and spend more time in the shop. Eeep. Since I have been home for less than 20 minutes since my last posting (yes that includes two changes of clothes and a shower for those that are counting), I have not ( Read more... )
