I had two more loads. The basket is empty, for now ...

Done. Now I’m worn out!

I didn’t stay up to watch anything. I’m sure glad I had a busy Monday morning scheduled - not so much time to mope.

Anyway, I don’t hope for a subway series. I figure some other state (even some other city) should get a chance every year.

But both the Jets and the Giants also lost yesterday which means no cheap coffee today.

I have to wonder why they named a food store a gross-ery store.

Saturday Mrs. ArGee got a text from someone we haven’t seen since 2006 that she was running in the marathon. Thanks for the advanced warning. So we figured out how to track her and went up to First Avenue to see her go by. But we missed her so we tried again up on Fifth Avenue. But we missed her again.

At least we met up with her and her family after the race and caught up. But they’re moving to Tampa, so it will be a while before we catch up again.

Unless we need someone to visit in February. :-D

I love seeing old friends! Catching up is always fun, so I’m glad you got to do that.

The only thing I got in the mail today was a Wolferman’s catalog. Chocolate cheese cake, *drool* scones, and crumpets *slobber*.

I would love some teas and some crumpets! (Ummmmm! Crumpets and Earl Grey tea!) I don’t even know where to get crumpets, here.

Tomorrow, I will have to spend an hour or so filling out a couple of lengthy forms, and I don’t look forward to it. One is for my recertification here, and it means my rent will go up in January. *sigh*

The other is for the pain management clinic for “another body part” so they can start to work on my lower back.

The less mail you get the less likely THEY will come after you when it’s time to round up the subersives.

Subversives include anyone who is not giving THEM lots of money.

One of my neighbors gets 10 times more mail than the rest of us combined. All junk mail!

We tease him about it!

“How to get the most from your meeting today:”
-Listen to others in the group. (Hence a meeting...Duh!)
-Say what you think. (Not wise)
-Give freely of your experience. (Really? And moving swiftly on...)
-Remember, there is no such thing as a stupid question. (You need to be sat where i am then.)

I wish I could find some, but I have no clue where to get the crumpets in Vegas. Earl Grey tea is easy — crumpets are elusive.

Hiya, Moosie!

We’ll send you some Wolferman’s before Thanksgiving. It is noted that you want crumpets!

I call them low-tech “pings.”

Tell your friend not to respond to ANYTHING.

I just checked to see if there was a place here that sold them and there isn’t. *sigh*

The wind is making me sleepy (vestige of Valley Fever) so I’m going to go in and lie down with a good book.

See ya tomorrow day.

Lots of people around here say, “We need to get everyone in a meeting so we’ll all be on the same page.”

I’ve started replying that getting everyone together in a meeting doesn’t get them all on the same page, it just gets them in the same room.

I mean, seriously, haven’t you ever walked out of a meeting saying something like, “Did you think X was still the plan? I was sure we’d changed the plan but I didn’t want to say anything in the meeting because I didn’t want to embarass Y.

The only way to get everyone on the same page is to talk to everyone one-on-one.

Meetings - wasting time at work since 1849.

Of course you know, 90% of those “since” dates are made-up on the spot, right?

He has been responding, which is why he gets so much junk. Now, of course, he can’t figure out why they keep sending him catalogs, fliers and notifications.

Poor Charlie!
