I found it difficult to reply to this thread this morning. There were only dashes where it should've said "reply".

Morning peeps! Girly, yesterday I noticed that they moved the "reply" all the way to the left. I was very confused.

Who moved my reply link???

Tired Tuesday is right! I need to stop watching Sleepy Hollow before going to bed. Next week is their Halloween episode, which is always the creepiest of the season, so I will record it and watch the next day - in broad daylight.

the boss is out of town this week, so I can look at this situation as either "I have the office to myself." or "I have to do all the work myself." For right now, I'm going to look on the bright side of life.

For right now....

Moony, my boss was out yesterday...so nice. He's back today! So much for my mini vacation. This week I am off Thursday & Friday, so that will be a nice break from him.

Yes, it's all the way to the left. And on my computer, I just noticed the first response at the top of the page "reply to this message" is readable. With each added post, it gets smaller and smaller until it looks just like a red blob! WTH??

ETA: With this post, I can just about make out the difference between edit post/reply.

I already have enough problems replying, and now this. The bags under my eyes today could fit all the contents of Boobs garage. Yikes!

Too much long weekend partying?

We need to have nap time at work.

BTW has anyone heard if they confirmed 2 cases of Ebola in NYC? Yesterday we were told if we feel feverish we should work from home. If I feel feverish I'll be staying in bed!

My trip next week got canceled - small wee happy dance! Happy Tuesday Adults. Off to fight the corporate wars, or whores, or moors, or whatever.

Y - do you know if your outside counsel sends its bills to third-party vendor for review and payment? HATEFUL process.

Of of our dear friends won a career goal award last night! We were not there! I am so proud of our friend and will take a tiny bit of credit - we spent hours discussing and texting the award winning work!

Good Luck, YOU! Congrats, brd.

Thursday can't get here soon enough! The only thing that will make me happy today is that when I arrive home Idina's Holiday CD is waiting for me

I will pick that up for the holidays! My kids have an obsession with Christmas music. They literally listen to it 24/7 after Thanksgiving.

My Christmas CD collection grows by leaps and bounds every year. I actually had to make an excel spreadsheet that I check before I purchase any, so I don't have any dupes. If you're ever looking for a CD and it's out of print just check with me.

The only actual CD's I purchase now are Christmas and OCR's. All others I just buy on iTunes.

I assume this is crossing the line of bad taste:

"Spreadsheet for your CD collection? And your wife did not know you were gay?"

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 10/14/14 at 1:48pm

I started the spreadsheet 2 years ago. Plus I don't think being organized means your gay. Perhaps that's a Chicago thing mentality?

Just joking of course!

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 10/14/14 at 1:56pm

Of course!

Along with all the other high schools in the U.S., we are administering the PSAT test this morning. College Board, the test makers, need to update their test instructions. There's a section where the students are asked to copy - in cursive - a statement of honesty, then sign the hand-written statement. Only a few of our students know how to write in cursive. I'm willing to bet that Maryland isn't the only state that doesn't teach cursive handwriting in elementary school any more. The kids figured out a work-around: they printed the statement, then went back and laboriously connected each letter. They're smart, they just can't write by hand.

Hey peeps! Busy morning. Now off to meet with my staff 1 on 1 for the next hour. Cheers!

I'm sorry, but that just absolutely boggles my brain cells. I have to ask my Goddaughter if the kids are learning to write. And, also, what our district does.

Good grief - according to this article, kids are also unable to READ cursive writing. Is it some form of foreign language these days?

She texted me back that her kids are sort of learning it. I'm not exactly sure what that means. My town is still teaching it.

Yes, she said the controversy is if they don't learn it, they may not be able to read it.

Who makes these decisions??

Luckily my sons learned it. How will people sign their names? Or read what write? I guess parents are going to have to teach it themselves.
