ROFLMAO!! This is a picture I took when I was visiting my friend in Rochester. As we sat on her front porch enjoying our morning coffee this critter landed on my lap. I, of course, grabbed my camera and took a shot as my friend squealed, 'hurry before he gets any higher.' Boy the fibers of my shorts look wild don't they? I was planning an entry this morning and framed the picture, but with temps in the high 80's before lunch it was off to my parent's before I could get the entry in. As we sat on the back patio laughing and telling stories, my older brother said he had stopped by my journal today. He wanted to 'see' what was going on. He was stunned when my last entry was Wed. 'I figured you were doing laundry' LOL ::smack:: I was stunned too. I really didn't have anything to say or share, and I have been in a don't bug me mood, but I didn't even realize it had been so long.
The weather changed from hot and dry to hot and humid. My sinuses have been acting up and my head pounds. The nasal drip kills my throat and makes my tummy feel like it's doing the tango. Not a pretty feeling and makes me miserable. I am sure going in and out of the air conditioning doesn't help matters much. Pressure, no pressure, massive pressure, no pressure. Hardly know if I'm coming or going. Not sure why this year is so bad, but it is. I need to find the perfect over the counter med to balance things out.
Work has been work. An email came out announcing some of the changes, and we've been told some of the future changes but things are not all worked out so until then I won't be saying anything. I have had several folks come up to me with questions, and some that wanted to confirm what others had said. Most wrong, it's funny how some construe their own meaning of things to make themselves appear better. ARGH! But again until the official announcement........ don't bug me.
We have a dress code at work. Flip flops are not allowed. Flat shoes, with the thongy thing between the toes. You know what they are... rubber, leather, fancy little beads, cloth. Clearly flip flops and not slides. In the beginning of the warm weather an email came out clearly defining what was not allowed. Tank tops, spaghetti strapped tops, skirts (shorts on Fridays) higher then 3 inches from the knee. It amazes me what has happened in the past few weeks. First a girl had flip flop sandals on. They were leather, but fit the criteria. A manager said something and this person snapped. 'They are not flip flops.' She tried to explain it away. The manager, who is not hers, ended up walking away. Ok, the employee got the drift. NO! A couple days later she wore another pair. Then a few days after that in our department she came in to the conference room in a mood. She sat down or should I say plopped down. Put her foot on the table and said, 'yes, they're flip flops I guess, send me home. Today would be perfect the day.' I was stunned and a bit pissed off at the disrespect for our boss. On Friday once again she had flip flops on. No question about them. Rubber soles, cloth, and definitely something you'd wear on the beach. Several folks questioned it. I personally don't care what anyone wears, but to show such blatant disrespect pissed me off. Obviously nothing has happened all the other times she wore them so she is pushing things to the limit. How much you want to bet someone else pulls the stunt and gets sent home to change, or without pay? I left early on Friday so I am not sure if anything was done or said, but I sure had folks talking about it. Don't bug me... go to higher management if you have an issue with it. Personally I think she wants to be sent home, or fired. Doesn't make sense to me.
Wow.. longer entry then I thought. See what happens when I start to type? LOL Hope everyone is doing good and having a great weekend! With the exception of my sinuses I've been good. If the rain stays away no doubt I will be at my parents again tomorrow. Glad they love me :)
Hugs
