In An Unsettled Business Environment...

* * * * *
I received an employment referral from a friend.
I talked to the prospective team player on Friday
I received her resume on Saturday
I read it on Sunday
I interviewed her on Monday
I hired her before Noon.

Amen.

To Round Out the Work Week

A smile is so universal that it can communicate even when words cannot.
A smile can open doors, it allows another person to know you like them, and your smile makes you more approachable to anyone.
Science has proven that when you smile as well as when you laugh that it releases endorphins and makes you feel better.
So, even if you are frustrated, upset, sad or blue, you can change those feelings several notches once you smile.
When you smile, it brightens your eyes and face...people will want to be with you rather than trying hard to avoid you.

Quotable Shit Show

* * * * *
Here's the Quote of the Afternoon,
made by a very observant, expressive co-worker:

"WHAT A SHIT SHOW
CAUSED BY A SHIT STORM
OF SHIT E-MAILS"

I laughed 'till I nearly pee'd as it was so true and
I immediately had to envision what that might
look like in photos
(it's how my head works):

WHAT A SHIT SHOW

CAUSED BY A SHIT STORM

OF SHIT E-MAILS:

shit. sand. can't see. blurry vision. burning eyes. headache. foggy air. buzzing heads. vertigo.
nausea. paralyzed.

God - we could sure use a day's relief around here.

We All Needed This Today...

* * * * *

We were all trying so hard.
We were working fast, cautious but furious.
And the 'hits just kept on 'comin'.

The request from clients so far out in left field
we wanted to ask them if they read English?

And when they read it, did they understand it?

Or..how about...
"oh, I don't look at it - I just sent it to you" and then:
"so what are you going to do to fix it now"?

What are WE going to do?????

We're going to take a deep breath,
teach you
hold you hand
show you how
and all we want in the end...

maybe 'thank you'?

Ok...never mind...
I'll just try to find these totes for all of us.

First Day of Spring - Twenty Ten

* * * * *



Saturday, March 20 - in the Northern Hemisphere


In the US and Canada:
Saturday, March 20, at approximately midnight is the official first day of spring for 2010 in the Northern Hemisphere (Vernal Equinox).

First day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere

In general, the four seasons correspond to the relative position of the sun to the earth. Meteorological determination of spring is calculated according to when the sun passes through the equatorial plane. When going from winter to spring, the sun is moving north; as soon as the sun crosses the equator, we call it spring. (This applies to places north of the equator.)

Wooooo Hooooo!!!

Weekend Plans

* * * * *

Rumor has it we're leaving the 70's of the past few days and back down to 20's and 30's
this weekend....

Besides the standard weekend chores and jaunts,

I'm thinking a spring fire may be in order...

Couple of marshmallows - Chianti - Ahhhhhh

* * * * *

NOT ADJUSTED

* * * * *

I don't usually have such difficulty with time changing...

but for some reason I "feel" the stolen time from my day;
I feel like I'm running and
can't catch up...

I can't wait for more sun in the morning and later than 7:30 at night...

I'm just sayin...

Daylight Savings Time

* * * * *

What miserable
Self-Appointees
decided to form a
Clock Committee of the Country
and make a law that decided:
by the time it started staying lighter later in the evening
and we could finally see our garage doors when we got home,
we would have to turn forward the clocks
on a certain day in Spring,
loose an hour's sleep,

and while we're still trying get the morning dew out of our heads,
have to revert to
DRIVING TO WORK IN THE DARK

...until the Earth turns on it's axis such
that we can then see daylight in the morning
so the chickens and and farmers can get their ass up
and be on the "road" by 5 am.

I simply don't like being robbed of time and sunlight.

And I didn't vote for a soul on that dam Clock Committee.

The Game

If you're not one of the few that understands this post,
it's ok...
Not only are you not missing much...
be glad you're not in this particular game.

* * * * *

Give Me Those Orders Earlier.....Or Else...

* * * * *

...or else, I'll have to become a Blonde and get Botox lips.

* * * * *

Wait! Don't get all "ya well" on me...

* * * * *

Just call it VINTAGE and say it's CUTE!

Back to Work Monday

* * * * *

I think the reason we're getting so bruised lately is that we're not
property protected

think this suit of armor might work?

* * * * *

They chopped off an appendage

* * * * *

When the city cut down our beautiful front yard tree
which was part of the entrance to our old, charming
tree lined street

they took away our part of the 'family' that had all
grown up together.

So Bare - So Empty...

I'll now drool and adore tree lined pathways
and streets even more.
