Must retire for the evening -

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer,
already mounts the parapet.

Soldiers of the Greatest Generation
Stand The Watch Tonight!

Work has picked up considerably.

But of course it wall dwindle to nothing the last too weeks of the year. So I Have to make money NOW to get through the month.

[Kathy in Alaska]

You have good skills. I want the electrical plugs, in several places, moved further up the walls, where those with bad knees are able to use them. Plugins, of course, are always under or behind something.

I have a nice table with my printer and some other stuff on it, and when I could still do it, I moved the power strips up onto the table so I can use them. At work, most have them under their desks...I have mine on top of the desk where they are accessible to me. I make the IT guys crawl under the desk if they need something plugged in or taken out. My radio, adding machine, etc use the strips on the desktop.

[PROCON]

My radio

Ma, you don't listen to that right-wing stuff at work, do ya? I do :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

*sigh*....remembering them for sure!

Good evening, Luv. Work getting busy yet?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Of course....Rush at 9a, Hannity til 2p, Levin from 2 to 5p. I try Savage at 5p, but I can only stand him for minutes. Then back to the local conservative, who is really good.

[luvie]

Evening, Kathy! It gets busier every day. Hate to be the Grinch, but I’m ready to have it over. LOL!

[The Mayor]

[PROCON]

LOL, what if your boss comes by; do you tell him to come back during commercials :-) Or maybe you’re the boss...

[Kathy in Alaska]

I keep it on low....when the IT guys have to work on my computer they get to listen. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Today and tomorrow, Union Station is hosting the Marines "Toys for Tots" campaign. Lots of Marines in Dress Blues walking around, etc.

You could probably find someone to talk to, couldn't you? d:o)

[Kathy in Alaska]

I can look out the window at work down the street I take to drive home. If I see too many tail lights it means too much traffic. I HATE sitting in traffic, so I watch for it to clear out. In the winter it is always dark and red lights mean traffic. Sometimes the lanes are full and just sitting.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

God Bless you good, Mac. *HUGS* Good night and rest well.
