sitting in my new office....

what did I miss?

How are you all?

 

[mmaria]

Hope the move went well.

oh well... not bad...

This morning, early in the morning I told the rest of the girls: "Just so you know me... I'm not nice, I don't like to talk much (me no likey small talks) ... and I'll probably ignore people who come to you ( lots of people every day work related)... so just so you know"
They seem fine with it.... so we'll see

Sorry about your mom Ma! and Snowbear, a for Miriam... I missed posts about the problem but I saw something about the recovery and something is also happening with Gary's Mary Lou ... a

for her...

Oh, I just figured it was part of growing old.

nah....


how old are you anyway?

68

impressed!

Oh no, Marija! I hope you can get that worked out so you don't have to move Being in an office with other people...snacking...awful...and here's us talking right now about that very thing and how it can be stressful.

Hmmm - I didn't realize this was such a wide spread problem, thought it was just me. My "thing" is white noise. Any type of background humming or fan really stresses me out. When I'm cooking and I have the exhaust fan on, I actually sigh with relief and can feel the stress leaving my body when I'm done and can turn it off. Commercials don't bother me but I have noticed that certain tv shows or movies will use a high pitched whine very subtly in the background to build tension (TWD in particular) and it really bothers me.

This is kinda finny to me since white noise is pretty much my savior in a lot of cases. Every once in a while, the air circulation at work stops and suddenly it goes all quiet. I have to get up and leave if it goes on too long. I can hear everything and I can't concentrate on anything.

Sometimes I wish I could just go deaf and be done with it all!

I asked them if they mind my jazz... they said they don't mind... so that's nice... listening my jazz radio...

Morning, hosers! It's not bad for a Monday at work. Had a busy weekend but managed to shoot a few things yesterday afternoon. I'm sitting with my usual coffee and snack and resigning myself to being here. I think tomorrow will be a day to work from home.

I'm home today (and so is everyone else no school or work for the rest of the family). We're in the middle of another storm. Expecting about 10" by the time this ends later tonight. We are certainly all caught up on our Nov - Jan "snow drought".

 

[KenC]

Snow turned to rain overnight here so I walked to the train in about two inches of slush. It should be gone by tonight when it gets very cold (I hope).

 

[SquarePeg37 8]

By gone you mean frozen into ice!

Morning, hosers!

Our snow was overnight and now we're into sleet. Allegedly will turn back into some light snow in the afternoon.

I've got a snow day. I'm SO glad I didn't start my other job today! That starts tomorrow. I'll have to hope that future big storms fall on Mondays, Wednesdays, or weekends.

Good afternoon, Marija!! Glad you worked out something with the officemates

Morning, Hosers. It's a balmy 6* here. Didn't get much snow, but the drifts were impressive. Serious winds yesterday, which led me to move the photoshoot indoors.

Speaking of, I submitted my revised portfolio to the photographer I'm hoping to work for. Here's to hoping he says yes, since I could really use the experience.

Buenos Dias Coffee hosers. Yesterday was another perfect day and I expect more of the same today. Mary Lou and I visited an old friend of Mary Lou's for a Superbowl party. Huge house in Yorba Linda. They had a Tv outside and we watch from the patio. There were a ton of grandkids who ran back and forth between the pool and trampoline. I thought it was a pretty good game with a Hollywood ending.

Morning cafe Hosers! Cold here this morning! 21 degrees!! Need to do more packing, for those who didn't know, it's a fair and equitable divorce, and we're on good speaking terms. That saved us a LOT of headache!!

In off-the-wall-news................. Happy Valentines to me! Was in Walmart yesterday and saw these, and remembered the "chocolate" inside lol!!!

Yes, it's about half empty this morning!!!
