Thank you - what a nice kitteh!
Thank Yew!
Is there yew in that picture? I just see roses!
PV could smell the green pepper from anywhere in the house, and he would stand up, using my thigh as a brace and swat at my hand until I gave him a slice.
Krazy Kitteh. :o]
Good morning! The package bunneh brought me something really fun, yesterday, but I had already shut down my computer and was on my way to bed.
The steam punk book looks like it needs liquid colors, rather than dry ones. I will check next payday to see what Walmart has. For catering to the ol’ folks, this store is suprisingly kid-oriented. :o])
She looks a lot like my Rocket, RIP. The face is very similar.
Good morning, Lady. How are things in the frozen Midwest(?)
It’s 47 here, but it looks clear. At least from my singular view! LOL!( She sez, looking between the slats in the blinds...)
OK, I have to brag. It’s not Sci-Fi, but I got a project management article published on a Web site. For those interested, you can read the article at:

Interesting. Mr. Sg published a paper on decision making with respect to tech many moons ago, and part of his project was to examine leadership styles and treatment of “failures.” One notable stated that he rewarded failure because it encouraged risk taking. He also stated that he did not reward making the same mistake twice.
I have a friend who’s dealing with a situation regarding a team member who doesn’t pull her weight (severe mismatch). What’s your view, or do you leave it up to management and not concern yourself with it? (I wonder how to deal w/it constructively.)
Good morning! Off to feed the horse. Took photos of the horse, the duck and a couple of peacocks yesterday but haven’t screened them yet. SYL!
We use crayons in the stained-glass coloring books.
Back from Weight Watchers, net loss of 2.6 over the last two weeks.
Walmart visit next, I’m out of spinach!
The culture of the workplace has a lot to do with the answer. We also have to understand the reason she's not pulling her weight. The biggest risk a team-member faces when trying to resolve such an issue is being viewed as a rat, and being mistrusted by other team members. This can happen even when everyone agrees something needs to be done.
PM me if your friend would like to discuss the issue. There are ways this can be handled. Ultimately, management needs to deal with skills issues, but there are things team members can do to enable or escalate poor performance without becoming rats.
I'm assuming pounds. Nice work!!! Keep it up.
Now you tell me. I went out in the dang snow to thank the stinkin’ yew tree in the front yard. Sheesh!
Yes, that’s pounds, not stone ;-).
“Know your homophones,” I always tell the offspring. “It’s what keeps us from walking out in the snow to talk to the shrubbery!”
