........ but right now, it blows being a teacher.

Another series I watched on Netflix..... Rescue Me. Many seasons in about two weeks. Every time the guys brother would get seriously quiet and sincere, he would ask "WHAT?!" Brother would look into his eyes and say........... Blow me!!!! lol!!!! Just reminded me of that. Oh, btw, he's better known as Mayhem.

Well, what does NOT suck about being able to work at home (even if that work is grading essays) is that I get to work with a sleepy, purring kitty on my lap!

My cat sleeps with me, eats with me, does about everything with me. She's getting too clingy, though.

I should think about things that DON'T suck about my job.

1. It doesn't suck that most of the time, nobody cares, AT ALL, if I'm also on TPF, or FB as long as the work I need to do gets done.
2. NOBODY gives much of a flying leap about what time we come in. I do a lot of work after hours sometimes, keeping up with our social media or updating the website, and so I may not come in until 9:30 a.m. (we are supposed to work 8-5), but if I show up at 8…or even 8:15, I can almost guarantee I'll be the first one in the administrative section of the building.
3. When it snows enough for us to be on detour routing, I almost always get to stay at home all day. Now, the downside to that is that the REASON I get to stay at home is because I'll have been up working since 4:30 a.m., notifying the media, updating the website and social media about what our route status is and then trying to keep up with the constant detours and delays, so by 12:30 p.m. I'll have already worked a full day, but will have to keep going until we are either back on regular routes, or until we stop running at 11:30 p.m. But having to do that at home, in my pjs with a fire in the fireplace is infinitely better than having to slog to work at 4:30 a.m.!

So it's come to that…cats and monkeys, living together.

It' LUNCHTIME, folks!

I can post a few while I try to figure out how to tell the computer to place some dots along a crooked line at certain distances depending on how long that crooked line is!

 

[snowbear154 84]

Wow
You blew right past me this morning in posting

I got a little involved in a couple of other threads last night.

Me too! Nasty, dreary wet day here, so I brought some chili from home. What're you having?

 

[snowbear154 84]

I grabbed a pack of cheese crackers from the machine. And coffee.

 

[snowbear154 84]

I don't usually have lunch at work.

 

[sm4him]

We used to have a nice little cafe downstairs in the lobby. It wasn't much, but you could at least get a bowl of soup or a sandwich down there on days like this when going out wasn't very appealing, or busy days when I don't stop working during lunch. Or days when I just have no motivation to leave my office (which is 99.95% of them).

But they closed last winter. Which is another thing that kinda sucks about work these days.

Yup, all the button placements are in different locations, etc.
You'd have to give yourself at least a couple weeks to get used to a d800 & a lens.

the only problem is, you'd have to give it back.

Yeah, part of me REALLY wants to suggest the D800. But the rest of me knows the learning curve would be too steep, and ALL of me knows I'd have to give it back.

The old 9-1-1 center had a kitchen. Years ago, when I was there, keeping the computers running, I got in a conversation with one of the Police Sgt's about Cajun food. I mentioned I had a recipe for blackened redfish and was talked into cooking it (the Sgt bought all the ingredients.) The following Friday night, armed with a cast iron skillet and Paul Prudhomme's cookbook, I proceeded to blacken some redfish for the first time in my life.

 

[snowbear154 84]

I smoked up the place. I'm surprised I didn't set off the halon fire extinguisher system in the computer room. Monday evening, when I came in, you could still get a faint smell of cooked fish.

I haven't tried it since.

On the other hand, everyone that ate it thought it was pretty good.
