What is not worth the effort? @tirediron - weren't you just asking a question for clarification?

And the answer: The emphasis on "some" implies that it is an understatement to say "some" when it would be more accurate to say "a whole lot of."

Oh man. I got so busy putting the table and chairs together I forgot to plug the floor machine. So dust mopped, spot mopped, cleaned the restrooms and break room, put some stuff back where it belongs and did the trash cans. 3.07 hours today and for the week so far. No point in going to the post office this early. So home it will be.

Wow, wow, wow ... A handball in the box. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabian has a PK to tie up the game. KSA lines up the ball, one-on-one with the Egyptian goalie ... and it is BLOCKED! Amazing play and even Miss Maggie is going wild with excitement jumping up and down, high-fiving Mary Lou and Gary. Gary and Maggie love World Cup.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Gary is skipping his early morning meetings in favor of watching World Cup, drinking coffee, eating a doughnut with Maggie. Another penalty in the box, but this time KSA scoring the equalizer. 1-1 at half. Miss Maggie is a true sports dog, she cheers for good play regardless of the team.

We have instant messaging, which has our "status" of available, busy, offline, etc. My previous supervisor would track my status, so I changed my settings to have it display available whenever the computer was on. It was pretty oppressive, because if I had to read a report that I printed out or if I was looking at a drawing, she'd see me as "away" since I would be inactive for several minutes. She'd then think I wasn't working.

We have instant messaging too, and no one actually pays attention to what someone's status is. Part of that is that the system is used for easier communication amongst enrollment staff so when, say, a counselor is working with a student and needs a quick answer from someone in the registrar (which is in another building), it's faster and more reliable than email. But it's also because no one really cares. If someone isn't doing their work, it's a lot more apparent in may ways other than their instant messaging status.

LOL. Just had to share. I sent out a message saying that I'd be on vacation and that if anyone needed anything from me, get it to me now.

A coworker responded saying they'd be on vacation the same week and that they'd have their computer with them to work if anyone needed anything from them.

Yeah, corporations suck.

A busy day ... Maggie got the 'All-Clear' from Doc Gregg. The cornea has healed but there are two white spots remaining (red under magnification and direct lighting). Gary hopes they're not scare tissue creating blind spots. The vet waiting room was like a dog convention. Dogs of all types and sizes, but everybody made a fuss over Maggie, the dog that looks like a plush toy.

We exited the vet's in time for Maggie's morning walk and ran into Max, Honey and Lucy. Lots of running and wrestling and Frisbee keep-away. We are home, a freshly hosed dog is resting quietly, waiting for Iran - Portugal match.

Tonight there is Rod Stewart at The Bowl, consequently, Gary will be cooking in the afternoon.
