I'm wicked tall.

Connectivity

I am having system connectivity issues at work today. Working from home is being a jerk. Who knew?

I’m pulling my hair out of my head a little. I can do 90% of my job fine, but that last 10% is frustrating as all hell.

Come on, system. Let’s get our virtual head out of our virtual ass, huh? How about it?

Too Early

What day is it? Who knows. It’s Thursday, right?

Is it too early to start thinking about plans for the weekend? It is the height of leaf peeping season here in New England. We thought about going up to the mountains for a look last weekend but we decided against it. If we go this weekend the traffic will be insane. I checked the weather for our area and Saturday looks great while Sunday looks rainy and crappy.

I don’t know. We’re trying to plan a visit to the kids but that won’t be for another couple of weeks. We have a couple of work days to get through before we figure anything out and maybe we will just hang out at home. I don’t know. After a bunch of day trips on our week off/staycation last month I just have the road trippin’ bug.

We will figure it all out soon enough. Stay tuned.

Internal Calendar Failures

Earlier this morning I was talking to my boss about something and I thought that today was Monday.

Monday? It’s Wednesday. What the hell, Robert?

Later this afternoon I was working through something with two of my staff members and I thought today was Friday.

Friday? It’s Wednesday. What the hell, Robert?

Why doesn’t my internal calendar work anymore.

Busy

The last few days at work have been busy and a little stressful. Lots of putting out fires. Not literal fires of course. I don’t drive a red truck for a living.

Anyway, as is usually the case when I am working in the office, I feel like I would be in a better mindset if I were working from home. If nothing else, I would have furry little critters hanging around and cheering me on*.

I took this picture just before I left this morning, just for some moral support or something. You know how it is.

*Are they cheering me on or are they making fun of me? I can’t tell. It’s like the Cheers and Jeers section of the old TV Guide except you don’t get to know what category you’re in until it’s all over.

Poker Chip

Today is an in the office day. I shortened my morning exercise routine by 15 minutes because I was worried I was going to be late. Now here I am, all set to leave… and I’m 15 minutes early. Good planning there, Mr Chuckles. Ugh

Anyway, here’s today’s photo a day. It’s my old Les Paul’s poker chip. Enjoy!
