The Coffee House

Yuck hate the open office concept. One of the reasons I started working from home way back when was because the guy in the cubicle next to me was a loud talker who was on conference calls all day long. I couldn't focus on my work or my phone conversations. One of our main offices has moved to open concept and it is much hated and complained about. Glad I'm not there!

Gary likes doors.

Wine tasting on a Tuesday seems decadent.

We have a quasi-open office. The reason it's "quasi" is because I have my monitors blocking in front of me, and I have a floating hutch to my right.

While sitting at my computer, I can see a person that sits 50 feet away from me across the office. If I stand, I can see everyone in the office (except those with offices). Seriously, it's bad.

I joke that my desks have been getting worse as I get experience, rather than the other way around. When I started, it was for a small government agency. I had my own office with a door.

Gary likes doors.

Doors are nice. So are walls!

I work in a grocery store. Doors? Walls?
Hah! I did catch the crud there.
Trying not to catch anything worse.

Today in Germany they have colorful parades with marching bands and floats, from which they throw sweets and chocolate into the crowds and everyone has a great time. Later underground parking lots are transformed into discos in which upbeat music is played extremely loudly and a small amount of alcohol is also consumed, apparently.

In Britain they have pancakes today.

They know how to throw a party, those Brits!

And in NOLA, girls flash their . . . to get a string of plastic beads.

I'm told they'll do the same for beads at a little summertime thing they call "Jobbie Nooner" that's conducted on one of the lakes around here.

If I were to ask my company for a sick day with no impact to work, they'd say yes.

I never asked. I simply told them I wouldn't be in because I was sick and I'd be back when I felt able. The few times I found myself managing people: If somebody came to work sick I made them go home. I didn't brook interference from management above me.

But I always made certain every employer for whom I was employed was getting more than their money's worth. And I made sure they knew it.

Hot Dogs for dinner. Yum.
Dogs going nuts over something. Yuck.

What generation is that supposed to be?? jk But really, other than the college debt, I've worked in education, I never exactly had a high paying job, but I did the work I wanted so guess that made for job satisfaction. Now that I think about it, college was maybe 2 thou a year, and my salary at my first job in a rural program was 7 thou; the next year it was 13 thou, woo hoo! That's a lot of inflation, crap that makes me think I'm old!

I wore a purple top and ate chili spaghetti, Mardi Gras unfortunately is not exactly much of a holiday around here.

Watching curling, but I though they already showed the bronze medal match in mixed doubles... I don't know if they're just filling time til the next hour or if I'm in the twilight zone. One of those episodes that's about time and not being where you think you are or whatever.

Might have to try this if the rain doesn't stop. After 4 days straight, starting to get cabin feeling
Olympics inspiration: Curling with iRobot

I love Asian Kitchen: Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, original Chinese, not adopted for the taste of whereever it might land.

Here is one of the cooks in a restaurant I visit regularly:

Curling is interesting if nothing else.
And there wasn't an ugly woman to be seen.

Hope you have a good night and a pleasant tomorrow.

What a lovely tasting room. Wineries are always fun.
