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.

I hope the move has gone smoothly for you.

We used to share a floor with another company and every morning when I arrived they had moved the desks.

Our people used to wait until lunchtime and move them back. Strange this went on for months and nobody spoke about it. LOL

I hope you have a great Friday Bryan. Whoopee, here comes the weekend. :)

That is funny Suze. That is kind of what this is like only it is years between not just a few days. I was busy last weekend. Maybe I get to play some on this one. Yea. You have a wonderful weekend too.

I love the bumper sticker! Hilarious.

I was wondering why you chose 69 for your wind speed. I've got to get my mind out of the gutter.

Have a great day.

Thank you Signgurl. Looks like I chose the wind speed properly then. I was going to go for 80 but I thought 69 sounded much more interesting. So yes, I did that on purpose.

You have a great day to. I hope you get to work outside today and enjoy the lovely day we are having.

Ahh life on a cube farm. It's not usually boring that's for sure!
Hope you have a great week-end Bryan!

On the subject of weeds. You are not alone. Mine are out of control! There just hasn't been time to get to them. My neighbor is one of those people who have a perfectly manicured, well-kept yard. I'm such an embarrassment to her. LOL!

Actually I think the big weed people are in the majority here.

Of course we are Crabby, because we are blogging instead of gardening :-)

With hubby working so much he hasnt had time to mow,or weed. But hey our yard is more crabgrass than any thing. I wish I could get out there and weed but if I even got close to the ground they would have to call 911 to get me up again. Have a great weekend!

BARMAN, hope I wasn't one of the bosses you talked about, but I would no way trust your current one - know him too well.

As for weeds - come down here and help. They are all we have.

Hope your move goes well and that you didn't throw out the Special Video I bequeathed to you.

No you were not. The boss that hung Ed out to dry was the boss I was refering to. I'll email you. Oh and as to the Special Video... I have that at home. I can't take the chace of losing that, no sir.
