I'm Not Dead Yet

I have been busy on the yard. Most people would have got all the work done in a day, two tops, but not me. I did finally finish except I still want apply a weed and feed to the lawn. Problem is I think we had 69 mile an hour winds today and I need a calm day. Maybe tomorrow morning.

Of course most normal people will keep up with the flower beds and catch the weeds when they are small and easy to catch. But not me. Heck, most people would even plant things in their flower beds but then again, not me. Well that is not completely true. I have hosta’s in one area, some nice iris's in a couple of areas and tulips which have long since bloomed out. I need to get me some nice shruberies and some bulbs to plant this fall. I best dig into my notes from Lara to find something interesting to try, planting wise that is. ;)

I finished my clean and jerk phase at work. Clean, well we are moving to temporary offices so our floor can be redone. I threw out so much it is not funny. I got my files in order to. My catch all file, marked Personal, is pretty big. I have three boxes already packed and, wouldn't you know it, I had to unpack one of those boxes to see if a computer communications card I knew I carefully packed, was the same card someone brought documentation and software to me asking if they could pitch. I don't know when we will move but I think I am not going to like this.

The jerk phase, well I was not the jerk. Actually jerk was not the proper word. It was just used to be funny. The problem is there are two groups moving at the same time. The other group has their area right next to our area with only cubie walls semi separating us.

When we first moved in the other group took away area from us before we moved in. My boss allowed it to happen. Then there was a problem with what they did to the flooring when converting the hotel to an office building and they needed to move everyone out and redo the floor and guess what, that group once again took space away from us which our boss allowed.

Now we have a new boss and he has said no way are we giving up space especially since there is no reason they need more space. As a matter of fact they should give up some of their space. I suspect we will win this time and just keep what space we have. Work can be interesting sometimes.


I saw several funny bumper stickers today which I promptly forgot so let me end with one sticker I have at work (but not posted up anywhere). It says I am going Nuckin' Futs.
