That should have been “spot.” Can we blame it on spellcheck

Sounds good, been the downfall of us all

I once got an essay on the death of Socrates where the student relied on spellcheck. Instead of Socrates being in the cell with his friend, Crito, he was alone in the cell with critter. I guess those Athenian cells were not fumigated that often. (True story)

Wow not even a read through before handing it in? That's lame.

So, back in September, I was named the Interim Director of the new program we are in the process of building for the Fall 2018.

As of Monday, I finally have the permanent position.

It's a good thing, so you can use exclamatory punctuation if you want And thanks

Just went through something similar at my job last Monday. Promoted to a position I was already doing. No raise in pay, just a pat on the back. Thanks?

No harm meant. Wasn't sure if I should celebrate for you. Lol.

No harm taken, was just playing

I did get a raise, though it actually went into effect when I got the Interim position in Sept. Long story short, but the title and raise were both temporary as they needed to have someone doing the work while they conducted the official search for the position. If I had not gotten the job, I would have been bumped back down to my previous salary. And if the search had gone longer than the Interim position was allowed to last (maximum of 6 months, and it would have expired in March), I would have again been bumped back down.

So as of Monday, I can lob off the Interim from the title and the salary bump stays.

Though technically, I will get a raise because our union contract was finally settled (after 6 years!) - it just got all the signatures and approvals and goes into effect just in time for the cost of living raise to hit my next paycheck in 2 weeks

Tomorrow I find out how Sunday morning works. Supposedly I spot mop.
My Sister just made biscuits and sausage gravy that blows away anything Brenda ever makes. Still watching USA vs Sweden on DVR.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. It is 36F this morning and Gary is freezing from some cleanup work in the patio. The winds blew down the potted ten foot high Flame Tree again. Gary hasn't had the time to firmly secure the sucker. The problem was in the resurrection the tree became entangled in the grape vines which are secured to the edge of the patio roof. Gary spent a lot of time in his pj's untangling the mess so the tree could once again stand proudly and fully erect. Gary made two pots of hot coffee this morning, one to drink and the other to pour into his slippers.

No stinkin' 'Interim' title for Leo! You go girl!

Congratulations, @limr!

36°F (2°C), overcast, with calm air this morning in S.E. Michigan. IOW: It's pretty boring outside.

The love of my life spotted a Red-winged Blackbird yesterday or the day before. Now there are two or three out there. (I just saw two on one of the feeders, myself.) She spotted a couple Common Grackles this morning. This is quite early for both birds. May mean an early spring for us.

Mmmm... coffee...

Way to go, Leonore!

The service for Brother-In-Law, yesterday was nice. The County Fire Chief, two of the Deputy Fire Chiefs and the Department Chaplains were there. MLW has another paper to sign, so we are heading back up to the funeral parlor in a bit.

It's overcast, 50 degrees and spotty fog, so I'm going to try and shoot a couple of letters for the alphabet project.

Breakfast is scrambled eggs, scrapple, toast and coffee.

When Gary was grabbing stuff near the vegetable garden for the Flame Tree project, two hummers started flying circuits between the peppers and the tomatoes about a foot off the ground. When Gary first spotted them, he thought it was a mouse ... then a wind tossed leaf ... but it was a pair of hummers flying laps a foot off the ground. Very odd.

Coming in low to avoid RADAR.
