Old Man in Florida - little respite from gas!
So BORING today!
Lunch with Mrs Brd and one of our best friends. She worked a very early shift then goes to the gym in her building.
Morning peeps!
Mornin'
Ha.
Still weeping from "Parenthood" finale last night.
Crappy day. My ex-cellmate got surplus notice today. If she doesn't find anything (which is the most likely case scenario the way things are around here), she'll be off payroll 3/30. Another really good friend, would have to relocate to another state, forget which one, which she's not in a position to do, so she'll be off payroll 2/20, unless she finds something, which again is not likely, but we can hope something turns up.
These are my two best "go to bitch" or get help from peeps!!!
ETA: I stopped watching Parenthood when they introduced the cancer storyline. I loved it up until then. I was not about to get on that roller coaster. I may watch the finale, just to see how it ended.

I watched Parenthood a few times.
TGIT was scary last night! Love that show Viola is fantastic!
FRIDAY!!! YAY YAY
Girly, I thought they handled it beautifully. Definitely watch the finale.
Brd, HTGAWM was brilliant last night. Viola is a master!

I love most of the characters! Great show and riveting! The camera work is excellent!
I have a whole bunch of HTGAWM on my Tivo, and may have a viewing binge next time I am working out.
Catching up on Empire - which is a hoot! The leads are fantastic. What a fun watch. I want to be Cookie when I grow up. Talk about no filter!
Happy Friday Adults.

Not that important, but I was NOT replaced as the auctioneer! They delayed in asking me! So silly that I have an ego in that regard!
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!
Morning peeps. I hope all the East coasters are staying dry today. Everyone else, I hope your weather is better today.
They kept saying on the bus on the way into the City, "Due to inclement weather the bus lane will not be opened into the Lincoln Tunnel." Now wouldn't you think that this is more of a reason that lane should be opened? Things that make you go Hmmmmm
Mornin'
By 6:30 this morning the emails from students who had a "stomach flu" began pouring in. By 6:50, when I officially canceled this morning's 9:00 class, 10 out of 18 students had said stomach flu.
Deet, you should hand these out to the poor kids tomorrow

We had 19" of snow! Side streets basically impassable. I had easy commute. Mrs. Brd left early and bus and train was delayed! VERY grumpy. Schools are closed. Boys watched superbowl and stayed as roads were awful last night!
I don't see them again until Thursday, Boobs. They should all be "recovered" by then.
I'm sure they'll say it was the 24 hour thing.
I get the emails that they are 'working from home'.
The problem is: they aren't set up to work from home. They don't have the company issued laptop with server access.
So, to those who called or wrote me this morning asking about options, I approved a Work from Home day. And I also know those are the kids who are conscientious who will do all they can to get their job done despite not being in the office. To those who simply told me they were 'working from home', I approved a Vacation day. (Two of those showed up shortly after, with roads miraculously plowed).
I'm not trying to be a jerk, and I don't want anyone to travel when it's unsafe, but, one has to be fair. The ability to 'work from home' is something that requires request and approval.
Addy, thanks to some employees abusing the "work from home" policy our compliance department now must approve "work from home" days. It only takes a few to screw it up for the rest of us.
Exactly. Which is why I crack down on my team about it.
I want to preserve it for legitimate needs.
I'm, as they say, 'old school'.
I'm with you Addy. My boss came in today and said he'll probably take a vacation day tomorrow because it's supposedly going to be "very" cold.
We don't have work from home capabilities. My group has 10 people, only three of us are here, even with a 2 1/2 hour delay.
