DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info – DISapalooza (continued)

I did a real boneheaded thing today

I am dogsitting this week. So, I get ready to leave for work this morning, and could have sworn I had the keys to the house in my hand (the door locks from the inside). So, I go to work, come back to the house and I have NO KEYS!!! Apparently I left them on the counter by the door. Luckily the next door neighbor has a key and came over to let me in!! OOh vey!!

I hate it when I do things like that!
At least the neighbor had a key!

I hate when I get key crazy. It does not happen too much at home because I have a garage door opener in my car. It is work that is the problem. I used to be in a building that not many people had keys to. I am one of the first people in the office and could spend 45 minutes calling people trying to get let into the building - what a sight seeing me sit on the front porch step, locked out of the office. I have a key to my office stashed so if I can get in the building I am good.

I got so tired of Pam locking me out of the house I finally installed a digital lock that just requires a code. No keys needed. I never lock my office at work since I never seem to have my keys on me when I run across campus to grab just one thing.

Today was miserable. I got in a huge fight in our section meeting with the previously mentioned distorter of the truth. Dealing with her just causes my blood pressure to go up.

I work tomorrow, but them get 4 days off.

I am not scheduled off that day - I scheduled an appointment with an attorney for that afternoon, so I doubt I will go back to work. My executive director who is also one of the most special people in the world to me feels very strongly that I need to get a formal agreement now and not what. I know for my peace of mind he is right but in the short term this is stirring the pot.

I am also missing our Christmas party - it is scheduled for the 12th. Now who in their right mind thinks they can compete with DAP???

It is better in the long run, even if it is stirring the pot now!

They obviously have know idea what DAP is!

Have a fabulous Thanksgiving holiday.
I still have one more day of work. I bought a frozen turkey tonight. Think it will be ready to roast by by Friday of Saturday?

Have a good Thanksgiving!
Good luck on thawing your Turkey out.

I am not preparing a "Thanksgiving feast". Just couldn't pass up the forty cent a pound turkey.

you know, i have a 25th anniversary disney dollar ($1), if you want it, let me know and I'll send it to you or try and give to you at TSM 2.0. I had it from when I worked there back in 96 and hung onto it all these years. I have no use for it, but for someone that collects like him- i bet he would love it. let me know!

Truly?

Big question last week was new keys for the library. We finally decided on one key to open everything. The two entrance doors and all interior doors. Hope no one loses their key!

That sounds like good advise from your friend.

At least my boss scheduled our party in our regular monthly meeting day which happens to be the day before I leave and it is at my favorite restaurant. (though if I take the day off, I will have to go and meet them)

Dodie,
I just wanted to let you know you are my hero. I loved your post about Pete leaving the Podcast.

 

[jeanigor]

Wow - either Todd is excited about Disapalooza, or dyslexic-ly excited about ADP.

Can't I be both??

Carl wants to drive for PCC 2.0 - there is space!

Hi stranger!! Do you know how much room I take?!?!? You'd have to leave sweet Siri behind and I couldn't stand for that!

Mine has been in the refridgerator since Saturday - still pretty frozen. Mine is a 20 pounder so if yours is smaller it might defrost by Friday. I think I am going to have to use the cool water technique on mine.

I am going to say goodnight, as I am getting ready to leave my parent's house and head home.

I will pop in as I can tomorrow from my Iphone - fingers are crossed that the Brown Truck of Joy brings me a present tomorrow, so that I can rejoin the Internet from home.

I totally agree with Dodie!
Dodie is so totally smart!!!

I will try to sneak in to keep you company for that! We can have some vicarious fun while they are out and about

Perhaps they will post updates for us stay-at-homers.
Tell us how much fun that are having...

Mine is exactly 16 pounds. Last year I got impatient and started cooking it when there were still some ice crystals inside. We are still alive a year later, so I guess it was okay.

You won't need you whatever it is you are waiting to have delivered.
You can do it all from the handy dandy pocket iPhone!

Sorry you had a miserable day today - sending positive vibes for tomorrow.

Thanks Anne. The DIS has a way of making everything better. Doesn't it?

I think it has more impact on cooking time - so as long as you are monitoring the internal temperature it should be fine.

My issue is I like to put a butter/herb mixture under the skin and I need to do that tomorrow so I need it thawed enough to separate the skin from the flesh.
