All that time and money! And remember how pretty!
And I have had no time to get them fixed. Maybe next week.
Today was an average day. Just up early, to work, home, Em picked me up so Stitch could get ready for the meeting. Oh one thing I did do was link my book blog to twitter feed so when I post to that blog it shows up in Twitter. Take a look at the twitter feed to the right, you will see my post for Mailbox Monday.
>Important day in history. I watched it at work, both bosses were watching it, people were coming by and soon the little conference room was filled. I don’t know why, but I kept thinking about movies. Looking at Obama’s little girls I started thinking about that movie, I dated the President’s Daughter. Then watching Itzhak Perlman and YoYo Ma play that little piece of music, first I thought about Music of the Heart, then I started thinking, Stitch could have wrote something better.
Anyway, it is late and I am tired. Too much online game playing. I should really go to bed now. Have to take out my contacts and wash my face.
Hopefully I will have a better post tomorrow. And hopefully I won’t break another nail tomorrow!

I wanted to clarify my last post about the four day work week. I would love to only work four days a week, even if they were longer days. What I don’t like is the hours proposed and the days. Since I have a two hour commute, that means I wouldn’t get home until 8:00 pm, leaving time for me to do nothing in the evening. Also I would have to use leave time on Wednesday to get home in time for my class.
However, I feel this would not be very soon in the making, considered the compressed work week program, after a successful trial run, has yet to make it to the rest of the state.
The comment left expressed the thought that studies show 4 day work weeks do not cause a reduction in energy use and I am sure that is true in general, however, if all the State Offices are closed an extra day, that would save the state the cost of operation for that one day. However, there are some departments that have offices in non-state owned building, like the one I’m in, and the one in White Plains that I used to work at, I don’t know how reducing to a 4 day work week would affect us.
On an unrelated topic, I had to get a new counter for my blog, the other one just stopped showing up. Weird. Anyway, this one doesn’t count visits from my IP address so the count will be more accurate. It is also more depressing.
>Not about the weather and not about my commute.
Neither one is nice though.
We have a sink here at work, it’s a small kitchen sink, everyone puts crap down it. I can’t be more specific because I don’t know exactly what people are putting down the sink. There are coffee grounds in the sink sometimes and today I could see and smell grease in the sink. Yuk! So now the sink is draining slow, very slow, I have been pouring hot (boiling) water down the sink, today I added a little dish detergent with the water to see if that will help the problem. It has helped a little, I think, but I hate all that water going to waste, but people will not be more careful, they about FOG, but don’t care.
The other thing is that Em sent me an e-mail this morning that Tigger has lost his phone (and some other unspecified) privileges. So I will not be getting my afternoon pick me up from Tigger, now that I think about it, I haven’t been getting it unless I send him a text. It seems he has gotten a little too friendly with one of his friends at work. Em said she didn’t yell at him, but she wanted to ‘slap him silly’. I didn’t point out that he was already there.
So now I have to get ready to leave, allergy shot today. Since I didn’t get to the gym yesterday I have to go tonight.
P.S. I typed this in an e-mail from work, but it didn’t post so when I got home I copied and pasted it. That is why the time posted doesn’t match the post.
>Is another of those tests that makes the circuit of blogs, like the “What type of reader are you?” that is going around the book blogs. I have my results posted on my reading blog.
Today I actually got up on time. The only thing icky was my period started. Yuck, but not a big mess just yuk. Gwen rode with me and home with me, we stopped for soup and was going to stop for gas but I forgot, so after I dropped her off I went to go get some. We were going to do the Bible reading, but D wanted her to help him with putting plastic on the windows so I came downstairs. Did a few things on my computer, we did it, then dinner and now I am here. I was thinking about Allsport, but I did too much yesterday, after a month of not going, I should have just picked up where I stopped.
Not much else to say, I guess I will check my message boards and then play my game some more. Then I will read. And be back here tomorrow.
>I am having trouble posting because I am trying to play my game at the same time, and I keep losing my place.
Ok, we are having a break now. Had a very cold day today. It seems to me that the winters are getting colder here. Part of the problem was I wore the wrong coat, I read the temperature wrong on the text message so I wore my blue coat and I was freezing! When I got home, all I wanted to do was curl up and go to sleep. The cold air was also making my lungs unhappy and I had that tight feeling in my chest. So after everyone had left I took a long hot shower. After that, even with a sweatshirt and a sweater on I was cold. So I had some toast and tea and then came down here to sit under my blankets.
My awards are all handed out now. I checked some people’s blogs and there were no awards on them so I hope they are not upset I gave them one. If they want to ignore it that is perfectly all right with me.
Anyway, I need to get back to my game. I will write more tomorrow.
>Yes this post is not about my commute. Is that cheering I hear?
It is going to be about the weather! There was snow at home when I went out to my car, and the snow was hard frozen so I kind of slid to my car. The roads were O.K., the commute by train was as usual, when I got off the subway, the roads in the city were dry, yes no snow, rain or any other precipitation! You may think that is kind of weird, but that is winter in New York!
Then when I was leaving, I posted a Twitter update, that is was cold and windy, how cold and windy? Let me tell you, I had a hard time walking the wind was so strong, and my hands were so cold by the time I got to the Subway they hurt. Why didn’t I have my gloves on? Well, I can’t send text messages with my gloves on!
Check out my reading blog, Bella is reading . . ., some very lovely people gave me two awards! Well two people and they each gave me an award. So now I am off to pass on the honor!
>yes, I know it is not the wifi that is stupid, but I don’t like saying it is garbage, as Tigger is fond of saying. I can’t get online right now, for some reason the wifi in the house isn’t working (although I did get on briefly) and the other internet connection I use is not connecting to the web. It tells me it is but when I try to go online I get that message that Firefox can’t find the server at . . .
So I am having to blog by e-mail from my phone and can’t check any of my website and invisibo friends. Not only that, but this is the only blog I can post to by e-mail, not that I have a review to post, I haven’t finished Nine Days Queen, still! Well I need to go, if I ever get online I will edit this post.
I made it on, it was simple really. I had my computer ‘repair’ the internet connection.
The weather is supposed to be really nasty tomorrow. I might not be going to work. If I don’t I will be here doing all my online stuff!
>of our assembly. Em had to take Tigger home because he was not feeling well. I was tired and just couldn’t stay awake. Even with getting up and getting drinks of water.
I gave Tigger the Gobstoppers, I ate all the purple one. I wonder if that is why I have really bad gas now. Or it might just be that with the assembly, I haven’t eaten good.
Tomorrow I have a doctor’s appointment so I will not be going into work. Stitch and Gwen both asked, “When is your doctor’s appointment going to be over.” I told them I don’t know, I don’t know how long its going to take! Anyway, I have to go to bed now. I will be back tomorrow. I am still trying to post everyday.
>Of 2009. I have had several of my blogging friends and followers wish me a Happy New Year. I hope all of them have a happy, healthy and prosperous 2009.
Today I slept in, I was up too late with Kevin last night. He is so sweet. Saw him again today. And more time together in the future. Only after the holidays might not be as easy. Probably only see him on the weekends.
So the only thing I did today was play on my computer and go to Target for cat food and litter, and candy. Yes, Tigger went with me.
Em is back from Florida YAY! Tomorrow she and Tigger are going to Manhattan, I am going to work BOO! 😦 But on the 17th, she and I will be going without Tigger because he has to go with his dad to Regional.
