Quiet Day?

My commute took no time at all this morning, for which I was grateful because I left terribly late AND had to get gas for the car. I got here right on time.

It’s dead around here – the parking lot was empty because most companies in our building are closed today. All signs point to YES that we’ll be let out at 3 p.m. today.

Mr. Russell has already given me a couple things to do this morning and is telling me he’s doing expenses today, so that gives me something to look forward to. :crazy:

In other news today was PAYDAY which is always nice! And I also double checked our income tax statements and we’re still due our $600+ refund from NYS, although Denis thinks we won’t get that for a few more weeks since we didn’t e-file that one.

I found out yesterday that my office building dumps all of their flower bulbs on the side of the building and lets the workers take whatever they want. I had heard the bulbs will go out this Monday, but I spoke to a facilities guy just now and he said they won’t be available for a couple more weeks and that he’ll send out an email when we can all go get them. So I’ll bring in a couple grocery bags on Monday so that I can load up when the time comes at the end of the month. Hopefully the timing will be just right and I’ll get them while my mom is visiting so that we can have a bulb planting afternoon while she’s here.

    Actually, I think you want to plant bulbs in the fall. So you may want to keep those for later.

    We got our tax refunds this week, which was a nice bonus.

    Guess Ace and I aren’t going out to your office on Sunday to pick up bulbs. Oh, well.

Quiet Day

Today is a quiet day at The Company. I’ll be covering the front desk from 2 p.m. – 5 p.m. today, leaving me with 15 minutes at the end of the day to finish Mr. Russell’s presentation for his 9 a.m. meeting.

I have to pick up the kids tonight AND I have band practice so it’s going to be a rough remainder of the day.

In other news, I was thisclose to being a caller on the Radio Chick show last night. They were doing a segment on credit card scams and the credit card companies’ response in handling them. I called and mentioned our Memphis trip – I had been making lots of gift purchases on my credit card and the cc company called our house and got my sister. My sister informed them I was on vacation, and they said they were calling about suspicious activity on my card. She said, “They’re on VACATION – in the very town you are calling about.” Well, the cc company required me to call them back, so my sister called my cellphone and said, “You need to call your Visa card company because they are about to put a hold on your card.”

The Radio Chick screener liked my story enough to put it on the air. I sat on hold for about five minutes and then they went to commercial. The screener came back on the line and said, “Sorry, they’ve decided to end the segment because they have a guest coming in.”

THISCLOSE, people! *lol*

    I can pick up the kids but I can’t stay with them. My appt is for 7 pm (15 mins from home.) As long as you are home by 6:40, we should be good. Do you want me to pick them up? Call me.

    Radio Chick – Is that the same Radio Chick (Leslie Gold) w/ Butchy and Chuck Nice?

    Ace – one in the same. They annoyed me at first (mainly because it wasn’t Booker in that timeslot anymore), but they are growing on me. A couple times I’ve laughed out loud in my car listening to them.

Quiet Day

Since Mr. Russell and Mr. Sutherland are both out of the office today it has been very quiet. I just got back from lunch with two of the admins. The Italian restaurant is apparently one they go to a lot, but I didn’t care for it (which is shocking since I love pretty much any Italian food).

It is oppressively hot outside. Fortunately it’s not humid, which would have made it worse. But hey, 95 degrees is 95 degress I don’t care how to couch it. So even in today’s case, Alaska would be preferable. I can’t wait for Autumn and cooler temperatures.

I’ll be leaving the office today around 4:30 p.m. to go to the church weekend. According to my directions I should get there by 5:30 p.m. or so, depending on traffic.

    At least you guys HAVE a summer. In Germany, it has been rainy and cold for the past 4 weeks. I feels like fall already, the leaves are falling and we have to turn the heat on!!

Quiet Day

Yet another quiet day at work. I like Fridays with very little work, although it makes the day go on forever. It’s “only” 2:00 p.m.!
