Good mornig gals! It is truly winter here this morning. We had a rainy day yesterday and pretty cold even some heavy flurries, but too warm to stick. It is very chilly this morning, but supposed to warm up into the 60's by tomorrow! CRAZY!
Jean: I used to get that at the law firm. I would be sitting doing my work and someone would come and ask for help setting up a conference room or helping with some typing of some sort. My desk was across from the kitchen, downstairs copier and the conference room so they thought I was a commodity, I guess. I would get asked constantly to work in the copying center upstairs when the drunk that managed it wouldn't show up for work. I would drag all my work upstairs then I would try and do it and manage the copying center at the same time! The problem besides, the faxes, phones, mail etc was my work was typing and filing and then I had to get into attorney's offices and put things away and I hated doing it when they were in there. Some didn't mind and others were pissy about it as attorneys can be. Actually, the biggest pain in the you know where was this snotty paralegal who thought she should be king of the hill and would try and tell me how to do my work all the time. My boss was the office manager, but litigation legal decisions were made by the litigation partner head and I would always be dragging her sorry butt down there to get him to tell her that I was doing it right and she couldn't have it done the way she wanted. She didn't even work litigation but bankruptcy, but I got stuck working for the witch when her upteenth secretary either quit or asked to be changed. I guess she is still there being a pain in the behind.
Boy am I sore from working out again. Got to get the muscles make in some kind of order here! It is more my upper body that is sore from weights than my legs from the treadmill. It will all even out in the end. I have a major goal in mind to get me there. First, we decided not to take any big vacation this year because of wanting to do some expensive things in the condo and secondly we still want to go back to Vegas. With that in mind, we decided to go June 2007 and I will have my 35th class reunion around then too. I was unable to go to our 30th, but went to the 25th. A woman that lived next door to me growing up and was a spoiled brat as a child, sat around and gossiped about me the whole time. I walked up behind her when she didn't know and heard her talking to one of her friends about my size. Now this chick is no shrinking violet. She has been a fatty since kindergarten and at the reunion was at least 75 lbs overweight. Anyway, I would like to go back at my goal weight and make her sick!
She has always been jealous of me because of Jack. She is an old maid, never been married and tries to pretend she has had this glamorous life, when the only thing she did was sell real estate in that area of tiny towns. I am talking Mayberry here ladies. Most of the towns around there were less that 3000 people. My folks were lower middle class with a lot of problems and my dad was an alcoholic. In a town our size, you know what the gossip mill is like. Her mom always made us kids feel like poor white trash and she passed it on to her kids to treat us that way. My school mate just thought she could keep it up into adulthood. I fixed her cookies at the last reunion by telling her off in front of everyone and I will do it again at this next one if I have to.
Anyway, hope everyone has a great day today! Keep warm!

Neil Diamond was/is one of my favorites. I miss the programs like the Ed Sullivan show. 
If we only didn't have to eat, life would be so simple!

One of our educated/no common sense teachers fried our main copy machine with a transparency last week. (It also is the printer for one whole section of computers in the English department which was working on research papers.) There is even a big sign saying to use the library copy machine for transparencies! Then after the machine was fixed, someone tried to run a paper clip through and it was jammed up good!
