Yup, it's Monday/latest news/work stuff
Didn't go to TRF this weekend. Instead, I stayed home for momma-baybay time. It was quiet, and nice. She wishes we had played more games, though. Oh well!
Got our nails done on Saturday. Hers are gold-yellow with black bats, mine are black with black/red spiders. Heh. Got my acr worked on - finally - at the same time. 13 months without an oil change = bad idea. Sunday we went walking with a friend of mine, then went to play Warhammer. It was mini-me's first forray into RPG's, and she LOVED it in a big way. Having housework to do I cut the gaming short at 1:30 and headed back to the heap of laundry waiting on me.
Got a lot done, home-wise, over the weekend. Finally finished the runner for the mantle. Tidied up the dining room (in preparation for one day eventually maybe taking some shit to storage). Cleaned and dusted the living room. Broke in our fireplace for the season. Laundry, laundry, laundry. Loads and loads of trash to the dumpster. Dishes. sweeping. Vacuuming. Didn't wear my mask for any of this, so my allergies are stomping all over me to remind me I'm a dumbass.
Finished knocking together a corset - my first try. Man, it sucks. I need to pull it apart and rework a great deal of it. It's too big. With it laced as tight as I can get it, I could probably fit a six pack down the front. *sigh* Pretty, though. Once it's really finished I'll be glad to say I've done it, and from now on I'll BUY the damned things pre-made. Hard to get ones this sturdy though. This corset is bulletproof. It could squeezy-kill, if I could find someone large enough to kill with it.
Friday on the way home I drove all over looking for booze. Got carded for rum. No, REALLY. Some chick at Centennial on Belt Line asked for my ID which I guess isn't really that big a deal. But instead of saying "ok," or nothing, or "you look good for your age," she paid me the very high compliment of shooting up her eyebrows clean up to her hairline and saying "Huh, really?" You had to be there, it was all in the tone. I asked her to come home with me, but she said that she wouldn't since I was only buying rum - not tequila. Ah, some days being an old biddy isn't such a bad thing. I can flirt with pretty young girls and they laugh it off. Oh, dear! I'm turning into my grandpa!!! Heh.
Late this morning my boss called an impromptu meeting. It seems my company was desperate to find a certain file. If I haven't whined about our files before, let me digress a moment to introduce you to the situation.
Within the last 3 or 4 years, my company purchased/merged with SEVERAL other managed health care companies. Naturally, each of these companies had their own files, and their own filing system. When I say "files" I mean "legal contracts." And from many locations all over the country, all these several companies boxed up their files and shipped them to the Dallas office in which I work. We're still trying to sort it out. Many doctors had contracts with more than one of the companies we acquired. So the result is tens of thousands of individual files, some of them in alpha order, some not. Some in file drawers, some in boxes in closets. Some filed by provider name, some filed by state. Some a mix of all of the above.
Now, this particular file had been searched for (last week) with a pretty predictable total lack of success. Today my boss called us together to say that our corporate office has issued an order that we drop everything to look for it. The sighs, groans, and eye-rolling ceased when we were informed that the company values this certain file enough to place a $3000.00 bounty on it. (!!!!!!!!!) Well, not my lucky day. I wasn't the one who found it. Still, I love a good treasure hunt!
Also worth noting... I was browsing my LJ Friends entries when my boss came over to tell me of the meeting. This is bad. But I had just closed the window when he came over and I don't *THINK* he saw it. I fervently hope he saw nothing, because - and this is the reason I rushed to close the window before I even knew he was coming to get me - hercurves posted some gorgeous photos... the first, NOT behind a cut, was her on all fours, full nude, from behind. Great picture, and really a terrific ass, but not so work appropriate.
Now I am just trying to hang in there until bedtime. I was up late playing on the computer Friday, up late working on that corset Saturday night (1am), up early to go walking Sunday (7am)... But I'm not used to it. Bleh. Me tired.
2 more hours and I can GO....
