We (my coworker and I) recently decided to work from the corporate headquarters building one day of the week, Tuesdays. We normally sit at the aux office, because there weren't enough desks here, and our commutes are shorter where we're at now, so we didn't push it. The sales and marketing people complained, saying that we should be at corporate. Well, I was here every Tuesday previously, but these people never scheduled meetings for Tuesdays, so I went back to just going to my desk. We sent an email yesterday, saying "hey, we're going to be at corporate every Tuesday, so if you have any questions, or want to schedule meetings, we'll be there Tuesdays" I get to the corporate office building this morning, and see a response to that email, "We don't have enough time to prepare for Tuesday, can you come Wednesday this week?" NO! We picked a day, schedule your **** on TUESDAY. Seriously, we're not doing this so you can schedule one meeting, this week. These people grind my gears non-stop.

Sounds like you need more soccer to calm the nerves. You. Are. Welcome.

Why would anyone step up when you're apparently willing to do the work for them? :p

Well, one is on vacation. The other is going through a huge mess. See previous post from a few days ago. The Controller saw the crap that I was going through and stepped in and mandated others to back off me.

Got my new cast on. Picked baby blue for the color. Ishould find the old "show yourself" tthread and post a shot of my Frankenstein stitches on the front of my ankle.

During my lunch break I went to the DMV to renew my drivers license. In order to pay by credit card, the DMV office charges you an additional 2.45% - no bid deal. The notable part to this, and just because it's funny, is that they execute that charge by putting through one transaction for the renewal fee of $26.50, and then they put through a second transaction for $0.64. I now have a charge on my card for pocket change.

And IIRC they are charge per transaction do it probably cost time more $$.

Soccer gets more ratings every year because more minorities enter the US (and they are prime soccer fans, given the world's view of the sport). :p

Anyway...waiting for the maybe supposed OMGWTeFF STORMS! that may or may not come around tonight.

So, I had stepped inside after this post for a moment and went back out and could hear a low roar in the distance which immediately caught my attention and then a moment later the sirens started up.

There's a primal sort of core fear that kicks in (at least for me) when you know something as out of (your) control and random as a tornado is somewhere nearby. Anyway...


The tornado last night actually hit in Verona less than a mile from my house. Wiped out a school and severely damaged about 15 homes including on a street where one of my boy's team mates lives. Haven't heard if their house got hit.

Luckily, no injuries.

Was driving in and a huge trampoline was in the ditch of the highway at least 1000 feet from the neighborhood that got hit and it didn't roll there as there were several tree lines in the way. Must have been a flying saucer at some point.

A couple of big branches came off my trees and found several pieces of polystyrene insulation in the yard - probably from the school. Other than that, we were spared.

Bunch of homes damaged and trees down in parts of Madison a couple of miles further on from my house as it skipped along, touching down here and there.

Yikes! Glad you're ok and (mostly) damage free.

Right. He's as stubborn as they come. I've realized that long ago. Michigan Tech Football could win the first championship game in Kansas City next year, held in the MLS stadium, and he wouldn't give a rats booty about it. Wouldn't want to get that Soccer ick on his boots.

The third world sport.

I can appreciate the fandom of said sport, we see the same for college hockey, but frankly, it's a boring sport with so many things wrong with it (corruption and blatant diving) that I am not a fan. I admit, 10 years ago, I'd watch the occasional World Cup game. But now? Blech.

No, he wouldn't care because it's Division II football...:p

I watch the World Cup...that's it.

The g family is currently tenting it at Lake Carlos State Park. I'm watching the radar and it looks like we are ok for now. I hope the atoms stay away.

Beautiful evening though. We are about 30 yards off the lake. Nice breeze coming off the lake and no bugs.
