The Work Weather Thread

I thought you'd like it.

Clear and cold outside and in. Blastin' the heaters.

Looks like a mild Prez Day weekend, then the rain comes back (YES!) (We need it.)

The 'Heater' above my desk (that blows air that is decidely not heated) stopped for about an hour today. I could actually hear what was going on a few cubicles over.

A drippy light rain pours over the valley. I just got back from Rutherford Grill, it was packed. The rain brings 'em in.

Flurries of data gathering and reporting greet me back in the office. But it seems warm and dry now.

I need a nap. <sleepy emoticon>

Too sunny. Need more clouds.

El Seed · February 20, 2008, 10:10:31 AM

The streets are still wet, but the sun is out.

Someone has poured an icky flavored coffee into the regular coffee here. Blech.

Tante Shvester · February 20, 2008, 10:42:02 AM

Hazelnut smells like someone filtered the coffee through dirty socks.

Ditto.

As for you flavored coffee haters,

El Seed · February 20, 2008, 06:07:54 PM

You did it? How did you get into my office?

And why didn't you let me know you were up here?

Amen.

As to flavored coffee, I likes my coffee like I likes my womenfolk....

pale, lukewarm, and just a hint of vanilla.

The coffee is equally bad this morning. Good thing Starbucks is next door.

Sprinkles today, with clouds of impatient drivers. I don't know where they think they're going, 'cause traffic is thick and moving at a slow speed.

Slow down, live longer.

Stormy clouds on the horizon outside match the pile of paperwork. Good thing I love reports!

I just don't understand impatient drivers sometimes. This morning on the way to work, there was a van behind me. Then a little sedan moved into our lane between me and the van. I guess the van's driver didn't like having an extra car ahead of him, because he moved over, passed the sedan, and got behind me again just in time for the next light. What was the point?

Smitty · February 21, 2008, 12:04:56 PM

We're hunkering down for an impending ice storm :( I'm praying it doesn't result in a week of 16+ hour work days.

At least it's only going to wipe out the southern half of the state, so help will still be available from the north. :-

Weavers. Phfft.

Yum.

Actually, I've really been enjoying these:

They came Monday, and I've been loving them. I got French Kisses (French vanilla), Creme Brullee (creamy caramel), and Vanilla Haze (vanilla & hazelnut). (I got Hazelnut too, but I ended up with the decaf and haven't decided what to do about that.)
