I quit hours ago. I'm just sitting here pretending to be busy.![]()
Yeah, me too! But then again I can leave in 15 minutes.

Sure wish quitin' time would get here a might sooner...
Hey! As the resident state worker, that's my line!![]()
Weird thing is, if we have a snow day, there is no make-up day. I guess they can afford that with our longer school year.![]()
I remember one night a few years ago. We had to come in to work off-hours to do some maintenance. My (then) boss brought her husband's 4x4 Dodge Ram that she had never driven before because the forecast called for a few inches of snow while we were working. I had to show her how to work the 4x4 and explain that it only helps you go - it doesn't help you stop. She proceeded to run over the handicap parking sign post on her way out of parking lot.![]()
As a state university worker, we combine the efficiency and paperwork of state government, with a bureaucracy like no others. I think I have about 5 bosses, and have to notify 4 people of a calendar change.
I was looking forward to a decade-long rivalry with the disdad-eating cheetah, but it might not happen. It might not have worked out for me anyway- she has youth on her side and an unfair lack of career, home, and parenting obligations to take away her training time. But then again, I'm a male and therefore genetically superior in athletic endeavors. But youth trumps everything.
Morning Guys, TGIF!!
As a Canadian that has to endure many of your jibes about out colder climate,snow and ice, I sit here laughing as it rains outside with no snow on the ground while many of you talk about shoveling out and icy streets.
Have a good one and stay safe.

Airplane boarding in an hour for Charlotte then hoping I get to LEX. Once there 2 hours to the mountains weather permitting. My aunt made it through the night but we may be heading for NY tomorrow.
wow I leave you guys for a little bit and I come back to see the door wide open and a perfume like smell in here.

oh and sorry for the mess. But since when did we start putting the toilet seat down in here???
You do realize that she does have to take care of me which more than makes up for parenting duties. I won't let her know about the genetically superior remark, would not want to see you as road kill the next race you run together.

All in jest. Except the part about youth trumping everything. I stand by that remark. Actually at my age I'll just sit by that remark.
Another stupid rookie question...
We have recently entered the world of smart phones (I know- several years after most of you). What app(s) should I have downloaded on there for this trip. I won't have Magic Bands this trip due to being offsite. TouringPlans? MDE?
Collectively theyve all had quite an impact on this threads current state of disrepair.
