The Coffee House

[smoke665]

6 am and sun is out this morning. 70 degrees with 100% humidity. The humidity is oppressive, for me I would liken it to being waterboarded, as I breathe the moisture laden air. Our HVAC is running over time making it bearable inside at least. Our FD is practicing this afternoon, doing a controlled burn on an old house. I'm supposed to be there with camera, but with the humidity still close to 70% the weather is predicting a heat index of 102. I'm hoping they postpone it as I really don't want to see any of our guys end up in the hospital from heat stroke.

I’m a little “dehydrated” this morning.

I recommend some pancakes with greasy home fries and a glass of chocolate milk.

In fact, one of the associate deans that I work closely with was on vacation a couple of weeks back. He answered an email during that time, and got "scolded" by his/our boss for working while on vacation. No, he didn't really get in trouble - it was more of a good-natured ribbing: "What are you doing on your work email?? This is your vacation time, go get some rest and enjoy yourself!" Our boss is a firm believer in a work-life balance. And yes, I do understand how lucky I am

That is awesome!

My supervisor makes it a point to say that he ALWAYS takes his laptop and works while on vacation. I guess he’s trying to tell me something. Umm, that’s nice and all, but I don’t. I’m going on vacation to get away from my job.

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. Looking out the window, Gary sees a heavy and gray Marine Layer keeping things cool. 64F this morning and it feels like 64F with a 5mph breeze. Projected to hit 74F by the afternoon.

Wade your peeps at work are wackadoodle.

Yes, they are. In consulting, everything is money, so taking a vacation, for the company, is like doubly losing money. Not only am I not there to work on projects, if I’m using paid time off, the company has to pay for my time off. I’m sure they hate it and would give zero PTO if it wouldn’t mean an exodus of employees.

The funny thing is that every consulting company that I’ve worked for “wonders” why they can’t keep people in my age group.

Miss Maggie and Gary are up early watching World Cup. The game is so lopsided that Maggie is watching upside down. She’s on her back with her head dangling off the end of the recliner. England is humiliating Panama at World Cup. At half it was 5-0 England. Now, as Gary was typing it became six - zero.

Those pics are great of the musicians Gary.

On 7 shots total, and 6 shots on goal. Woof. Poor Panama.

PANAMA Scores! And the Panamanians go wild in the stands.

Soccer does nothing for me.
Heck I don't even know how the Astros did last night. Sunday is my only sleep in day.
Breakfast coming up in minutes.

The missus was a little more “dehydrated” than I was this morning. Some peanut butter toast helped me, but she required grease. We went with some chili cheese waffle fries, and some fish tacos from a local place. Now it’s nap tome.

When I was a young attorney working for a law firm in the days before cell phones, my boss told his secretary to track me down while I was with my kids at a Disneyland. Apparently she told him that wasn’t going to happen. Lol

Just finished my comics on ArcaMax Publishing. Did 8 rolls of pennies prior to that and now going to do 7 more. Found out Astros won yet again.
Thay play again this afternoon and I think I'll be awake for the whole game......

I remember those days. Loved the marine layer and the June gloom. I always associated that with the end of school. Here it’s already in the 80s heading toward the high 90s, but the humidity isn’t bad.
