She's a little homesick too.
It's hard to live in someone else's house for any length of time.

With everybody and their mother walking around with Bluetooth these day, Bluetooth earmuff doesn't seems like a bad idea.

It's official Legion is one of those *********s that shows up for work when nobody should be on the roads ( just kidding),, I hope you take this day off in July for a "sick day" on the golf course..... I'd be into work too FYI,, good day to clean the desk

A lot of my job is dependent on interaction with other people. When people are gone, the number of things I can do diminishes quickly. I'm also a few months ahead of schedule on a project that is a year ahead of schedule on a larger effort that is way behind schedule.

I tend to mutlitask a lot. Start a build job. Check Pelican. Type an e-mail. Check Pelican. Check status of build job. Check Pelican. Work on specs for a new program. Check Pelican...

I'm also somewhat intentionally being kept less than completely busy by management. As they put it, they want me to "have the capacity to quickly respond to problems". In other words, since I'm nearing the end of my involvement on this project, they want me to stay around to fix things and not move on to something else.

Don't know where that is....

LOL, no one else does that I am sure.:rolleyes:

Well if we're bragging about multi-tasking,, I do email, check pelican, check uporn, make sales calls , etc etc....

Pilots have been doing the 'cell phone between the ear and headphones' for years. One hand on the tiller, one on the throttles, how else are we supposed to 'hold' the phone?

I showed between -20 and -4 deg F on my car thermometer today during my drive to work. Thank god it is not windy....yet. We have electric heat and our power went out last night for two hours... thankfully the local power company got it fixed by midnight when it was -6 degrees.

With electric heat in my house, I would have had to stay home from work to manage my generator and circuit breaker box had the power not come on in these sub zero temps.

Unfortunately, thanks to all of those pesky environmental regulations, my new furnace is electric ignition with a side-draft vent. That means that even though it burns natural gas, it will not work when the power is out.

Can you light it manually?

Nope. The gas flow is controlled by a solenoid valve, and a blower motor pushes the exhaust gasses out a horizontal exhaust pipe.. The best I could do is splice in a wiring harness and run the furnace off of a generator.

Seems pretty silly to me though.

Silly is putting it mildly. Stupid. I would suggest that someone is not looking at the end user's environment.
