Saturday

LP and I are going to my sister's for the day. We'll probably stay overnight. And, yes, we're goiing shopping. So don't hate.

Party Wrap

The birthday party was held at 3pm because we had to get some pesky work done. Refreshments: Chocolate cake and iced tea
Presents brought in to us: yesterday’s newspaper wrapped in newspaper, a box of Swingline staples, a thumbtack (yes, one thumbtack) and an old telephone cord someone had in the back of her desk drawer. No staplers in Jello.
Fun was had by all.

On the Good Ship Lollipop

My staff has been all gloom and doom and depressed since (basically) last November when the Powers That Be decided to look at outsourcing our department. We’ve plotted and justified and spreadsheeted (I know that’s not a word) until we’re all bored to death about it. People just want to stop guessing and have it laid out. I find people can pretty much deal with a situation if you tell them the facts. When it’s left up to them, they start from the Worst Case Scenario. We’re supposed to get the word sometime in May.
Anyway yesterday I told my staff “Fuck it” (well, I didn’t use that exact phrase) “If we’re going down the pea patch (a Hoosier expression) we’re not going as Gloomy Guses, by golly.” (Do I sound like Shirley Temple in Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm or what??) I told them yesterday that today we’re having a BIRTHDAY PARTY! “Whose birthday?” They asked.
DOES IT MATTER?? Hell, no! At least they laughed. So I’m bringing in cake and stuff and we’ll send out an email to join us for cake. Bring gifts. You can wrap up an office supply in letterhead if you like (or put it in Jello like Jim did Dwight’s stapler)—just bring something to cheer us up.

The artist in me

Soon, I am going to start to paint on canvas.
I am exploring my inner artist.
I will update you on the results.

Ha ha . . .good for Hillary

During a radio call-in on WOKQ-FM, Sen. Hillary Clinton was asked what the United States can do about Sanjaya Malakar, the television show's underdog candidate who critics say lacks any shred of talent. "That's the best question I've been asked in a long time," Clinton said. "Well, you know, people can vote for whomever they want. That's true in my election, and it's true on 'American Idol."'
