Alan once again broke my rule about taking a book everywhere I go and once again I am regretting it.
I think this day has a chance to be the longest day ever.
Ain't that the truth... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Just thinking that. I can't believe it's just almost 10am. - Anika
It's odd. I have so much to do to get ready to leave tomorrow I would think the day would be going to fast. - Alan Simpson
Alan is not looking forward to leaving for a 9-10 hour drive at 1PM tomorrow. Also not looking forward to having a puppy in the car for the trip.
A note from the jurors in Baltimore Mayor Shelia Dixon's trial. They also asked the definition of the word "misappropriation" - but were referred to their notes. This note shows why they wanted to be sent home yesterday...

I really hate that this is the first year I am really not happy about the holidays. We leave for a week in KY tomorrow, but instead of being happy I am wishing we could have our normal Thanksgiving with my in-laws at our house.
Alan has one more day of work and then we are off to KY for the week.
Alan likes being paid to eat.
@mlibrarianus i tried that already. it does show that it's just me. thanks
Is anyone else having problems with google today? I can load every other site, but nothing related to google.
nope, i seem to be able to get on ok - Sir Shuping
hmm. it's really odd. internet is fine, every other site works, but basic google search, gmail, google docs all unable to load. - Alan Simpson
I'm not having any issues with Google today. *knock on wood* - joshua "magic" neff
Upon further testing, it appears no web search will work. Yahoo times out, bing won't work. Everything else is fine but I can't run a web search. Any idea? - Alan Simpson
Application for new job is now officially submitted. Now the waiting game begins.
My puppy has learned how to escape from her "approved" rooms. This is not good
Is it just me or is it weird that someone from another branch would come here for a training, eat in our lounge, but apparently not introduce themselves to anyone else who was in the lounge at the same time?
Hm.. I've seen this kind of behaviour before. It's definitely strange, but I don't think it's unusual. - cecily
not unusual, but not good either. - Mary Carmen
Sounds like something I'd do, which means yes, it's weird. (Maybe he/she has social phobias too?) - Lo
A bit strange. If it were me, I'd probably at least say hello. I might not engage in much conversation, but it would be polite to at least acknowledge the other people. There could be a social phobia. Or maybe the person was just really focused on something and being oblivious (I've had those moments). But yeah, at least a general greeting or hello would be nice. - Katy S

Bragging time: Both kids are once again on the honor roll. The 8th grader has straight A's even with high school classes like geometry and French on his schedule.
w00t! - Anika
I'm pretty sure your job description does not say "park your charges from the group home at a table in the library while you use the computer"
Hey....I think that group was here last week. - Rochelle Rochelle
LOL Or 'smoke pot near the tennis courts while your charges eat lunch.' - Anika
Methinks your problem is user error

P.E.B.C.A.K. - Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard - mikepk
But wait, I thought the user was not broken? - John Dupuis
It's not an adventure, it's just a job
Nothing like coming to work, discovering you are likely the in-charge person with all the rest of management out or on the evening shift and then finding a county police officer at the door because someone set the alarm off when they arrived at work before you.
I've had many a morning like this. Trust me, it could be so much worse. But I totally feel ya. Roll with it, my friend. - Mary Carmen
at least you did not find a body in the branch. - ♫Geek in the 410♫
not yet, anyway. I know it could be worse. I've had worse. - Alan Simpson
Its never fun when the police meet you at the door. - Mary Carmen
I just found out I didn't get named People Magazine's sexiest man alive this year. Totally bummed now.
Alan has lost his mind - please let me know if you see it anywhere.

Alan now has tickets to the UK/UT football game. GO BIG BLUE!
Alan now needs coffee just to maintain the barely alive feeling and thinks it would be good to wean myself from the caffeine and start over.

Obviously, I'm late getting the news. - Alan Simpson
Is it really that hard to call me to tell me the Thanksgiving luncheon has been postponed so I don't waste my day driving back and forth for no reason?
