Thanks, my....
And they were good! Good evening, yarddog.
We all have 2 monitors, but only one works. IT will have to fix that in the morning. At first I wasn't sure what I would do with the second monitor, but now I wish I had one at home, too. LOL!
That one! LOL!
WOOOHOOOO!!!
I was AWOL...just trying to edit a few pictures. :) Among other things.
Thank God for heroes like these who have kept America safe and free!
In spite of the politicians!
Monster Monday...yes! New building, new office space, nothing in the right place. Monster Monday for sure. d:o)
It didn’t look like they had that much set up in the other pic. Looks like they have enough set up you can get work done, even if only one monitor’s working.
Two monitors DOES sound nice! Wouldn’t mind that myself. LOL
Does it take two monitors to get your work done?
Well THERE you are!
Glad you were just playing around and not sick or somethin’.
Looks like it’s going to be real cozy in there, Ma.
Also looks like an office I shared with 2 others a couple of years ago. It’s a good thing I liked them...
Well hello there, HJ! Fancy seeing you here this time of evening! ((HUGZ))
Not sick! Thank goodness the only “ailment” I have is allergies. They come with the territory so I just sneeze and coff and go on about my business!
Did you and the kittehs have a good day? [and hubby too?]
I sympathize with the allergies. I deal with them year-round. If it’s air-borne, I’m allergic to it. Right there with ya on the sneezing and coughing.
With winds out of the south today, they’re fired up a little by whatever’s blowing up from AL. ah-CHOO!
The outside kittehs had a good time today since it was sunny and fairly warm. I offered to take Buckwheat out in his harness and leash but it was a little cool and breezy for his taste. It won’t be long before he can enjoy a little time outside.
Your day a good one?
Well I’m glad there’s nothing on the tube so you could come by for a bit. We aren’t here at the same time very often.
Everything going well out your way?
As well as can be expected. We lost our contract and I’ll need to move on by the first week of April. I think I have a position with the company that won the work, but they haven’t made an offer yet. It’s a wait and see situation, right now...
It was excellent. The weather was nice, worship was good, lunch was great with friends and my nap was amazing. :)
My MIL went with us to evening worship and to get a taco afterward and she said her hip pain seems to be easing so that was a relief!
I recall seeing you say something about moving but didn’t know that was the reason for it. Wait-and-see situations can be unnerving. Hope they talk to you soon with an offer.
Thanx!
Sounds like a really good day. Great news about your MIL’s hip feeling better! ‘Bout time.
Now if nothing else comes up that sets her back.
I made sure I have a “go bag” with stuff I need right away. It will be like a short week with a Monday holiday. I made sure I got all my cheat sheets printed out Thursday, so as soon as I settle in a space. I’m good to go.
Fortunately I numbered my boxes...all are in the “room”. Now to find some place to put them. Or more things will have to go.
Emails went out to everyone last week that all deadlines are the norm....no holiday schedule.

Hajiro was born in Hawaii, the eldest of nine children born to Japanese immigrant parents who had moved from Hiroshima to Maui during World War I. Two of his siblings died in infancy. The family was poor, and Hajiro left school to work, first in the sugarcane fields of Maui and later as a stevedore in Honolulu. Shortly after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, he was drafted into the U.S. Army and performed menial labor as part of an engineering battalion. 
next ten days, Hajiro, a private in Company I, repeatedly distinguished himself in battle. He exposed himself to enemy fire while assisting an allied attack on October 19, and three days later he and a comrade ambushed an 18-man enemy patrol. On October 29, during the rescue of the so-called "Lost Battalion", which had been surrounded by German forces in the Vosges Mountains, he single-handedly destroyed two German machine gun emplacements before being wounded. Shot in the shoulder and wrist, Hajiro's left arm was partially paralyzed. He was able to rejoin the 442nd in Monte Carlo, but was barred from further combat duty. He was then sent back to the United States to recover. 
For his actions during October 1944, Hajiro received the Army's second-highest decoration, the Distinguished Service Cross and the World War II Victory Medal (United States), before being discharged. In 1948, he was awarded the Military Medal by the British government for his part in rescuing the Lost Battalion. A 1990s review of service records for Asian Americans who had received the Distinguished Service Cross during World War II led to Hajiro's award being upgraded to the Medal of Honor. In a ceremony at the White House on June 21, 2000, he was presented with the Medal of Honor by President Bill Clinton. Twenty-one other Asian Americans also received the medal during the ceremony, all but six of them posthumously. Four years later, in 2004, the French awarded Hajiro the Légion d'honneur.
Private Barney F. Hajiro distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action on 19, 22, and October 29, 1944, in the vicinity of Bruyeres and Biffontaine, eastern France. Private Hajiro, while acting as a sentry on top of an embankment on October 19, 1944, in the vicinity of Bruyeres, France, rendered assistance to allied troops attacking a house 200 yards away by exposing himself to enemy fire and directing fire at an enemy strong point. He assisted the unit on his right by firing his automatic rifle and killing or wounding two enemy snipers. On October 22, 1944, he and one comrade took up an outpost security position about 50 yards to the right front of their platoon, concealed themselves, and ambushed an 18-man, heavily armed, enemy patrol, killing two, wounding one, and taking the remainder as prisoners. On October 29, 1944, in a wooded area in the vicinity of Biffontaine, France, Private Hajiro initiated an attack up the slope of a hill referred to as "Suicide Hill" by running forward approximately 100 yards under fire. He then advanced ahead of his comrades about 10 yards, drawing fire and spotting camouflaged machine gun nests. He fearlessly met fire with fire and single-handedly destroyed two machine gun nests and killed two enemy snipers. As a result of Private Hajiro's heroic actions, the attack was successful. Private Hajiro's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon him, his unit, and the United States Army.
