Maybe that's why they have me working from home.
I do write a LOT of instructions on how to do things step by step even though most of the workers won't read instructions and want to be shown step by step how to do their jobs.

One guy that worked for me I had to show step by step what to do. He would doggedly follow those steps. However if anything happened that stopped the step by step progress, he would just stop and wait to be shown what to do next. I had to constantly check on him to make sure he hadn't stopped. I ended up editing all the Mac OS and application error messages to add the line, "Go Get Richard." So he would notify me when something messed up. It was funny about 5 years later his computer had been handed down to our receptionist. I had forgotten about editing the system error messages. She had locked up her computer with too many open applications and immediately called me all frantic because that's what the screen said to do.

Omg, that is exactly what I do. Creepy...

Morning...
We were at jiu jitsu practice until 9:30 finally walked in my door at 9:45, exhausted.
Hubs called me at 5:30 and woke me up then the youngest got up at 6. Longest day ever.

That kind of day just makes ya want to wear a cup of coffee. :)

At least it wasn't still hot.

From the perspective of the BTDT crew, the temp is irrelevant. :D

Mornin'. Just back from walking the dog. The squirrels were no fun this morning, running for the trees before my dog got within 25 yards of them. Usually a couple of them are more daring / playful.

With springtime closing in, critters in the wild are starting to change their habits.
I have noticed a lot more birds lately. :)

The last thing I needed was a scolded torso to round out the day :)

Holy crap I can't seem to find anything firearm related that I am looking for. You would think a simply hardshell case for two specific guns would be easy but noooooooooo all sold out. :(

Great song, disturbing video, enjoy.......

So far nothing is going to plan. My brother and SIL are flying in their flight is delayed an hour. No major deal. The big pain is the freaking blizzard predicted for the day of the funeral. :(

I thought it was supposed to rain on funerals. That's what they always show in the movies. Hope the blizzard prediction is wrong.

With luck the blizzard will not hit until the afternoon. After the service is over.

Funerals are never fun..... sorry to hear you have one coming up Glen, my condolences.

On a funner note I tore up my hamstring pretty good at hockey today and had to be helped of the ice.....gonna be a couple slow painful weeks ahead of me.

I had to run over to my sons and give him a hand with a few things, I pull into the driveway and he is outside laughing at me, he said I drive the only truck that sounds like Peggy. I asked him what he was talking about and he said all you hear is music, then the sound of air being mashed out of the way.
