Oh happy monday. /sarcasm

[emoflamingo]

The AC is out at work.

There is no breeze because of the angle of the building and the windows.

:N:

Anyone having an actual GOOD monday??

[thewop]

My boss it OOT until Wednesday, so I guess it's good so far!

[car.ramrod]

Mine isn't bad. I got to work and one of the girls brought a cake in so I am having cake for breakfast Also, I have a meeting off site at one of our job sites which means I get out of the office for most of the day and get to tromp around in the dirt and get free lunch so that is nice. It is nice getting away from the desk every now and again.

[emoflamingo]

Wop, I always get LESS work done if the boss is out. Last week, at my other office, the boss was out of town and I got nothing done. Oops.

carramrod, I keep giggling at your name and picture. My H loves that movie lol.

[thewop]

Yeah, I have pretty much nothing to do today. Tomorrow, I have some small tasks, but nothing crazy. I'm not sure how I'm going to make it to 3:00 pm today. Maybe I'll post a bunch of useless polls! Haha.

I do have to plan DD's first birthday party. I really have no idea what to do. It's just going to be close family and friends, so nothing elaborate. Probably just a cookout and cake!

[emoflamingo]

I usually surf the net and "window shop" all day. I love party planning. I skimped on DS' birthday this year and we met people at Baskin Robbins and I bought everyone a scoop and opened presents. I felt bad, but his birthday is so busy usually (born 5 days after Christmas, so he has competition) and with our house on the market, my luck would be that I would plan a party at our house and we'd get a showing request in the middle or right before it starts.

This morning started out way early, but otherwise it's going acceptably. Only thing is that thanks to a giant cloud of smoke from a local forest fire, I spent most of my swim practice this morning coughing. Otherwise, I've got a bunch to do today, which is nice.

[boiler717]

Just had to have someone come jump my car

[emoflamingo]

Apparently the pest control people who fogged this weekend didn't turn the breakers back on for the AC, so that's why it was off. And now it's back on. I was thisclose to being able to leave until noon!

Boiler, that sucks. We did that on Friday. Battery went bad on my H's car while mine was in the shop for an oil change so we were stranded at home for 3 hours.

[mrs.jacinthe]

Oh. Just got a call from my mother. My uncle died overnight last night.

So now I'm waiting to hear about funeral arrangements to figure out if it's possible for me to get down to LA for the funeral.

[emoflamingo]

Oh man, I'm sorry mrs.jacinthe.

[aweilba]

Emo: No AC = Gross. I'm so sorry. The school I teach at doesn't have AC, so I feel your pain.

Mrs.Jacinthe: I'm sorry to hear about your uncle. My prayers are with your family.


In comparison with some of your Mondays, mine is going well. I'm just really busy today since it's the last week of summer swim team. This whole week will be that way, though.

[mrs.jacinthe]

Thanks ladies. Honestly, I wasn't that close with this particular uncle - haven't seen him since ... 1994, maybe? But I have seen my aunt since then, and I do feel badly for her.

LOL, I LOVE Super Troopers. It reminds me of college ;D We used to have a drinking game we played where everytime you saw a cop car you had to take a drink...yeah you can imagine how that game ends

It is now 2:00 and I have done ZERO work all day. I have been assigned the intern chore from hell (alphabetizing files would be more fun than this) and I just can't bring myself to do it. Since the boss doesn't actually realize how complicated what he's asked me to do is, I can piddle around and take my time.

Ok, this pathetic post is making me swear I'll be done with it by Wednesday. Yes. Wednesday! I've had it assigned since last Wed, so a full week seems reasonable. Now if only I can tear myself away form Pinterest, here and FB.

[tarheels]

Oh, and the AC was out at the grocery store yesterday. That was a uniquely sucky experience lol. We'd stop by the fridge cases at the one end of the store every time we passed them lol.

I haven't filed in over a month. When I started (a month ago) working at another office, I had to catch them up on filing (because the last part-time girl working there hadn't filed like... at all in the last year she worked there) so I'm just sick of the alphabet.

I will file... Wednesday. Maybe.
