I have one more week with the Cub Foods deployment team. You can then stop blaming me for stuff you can't find. I'm off to Menard's. Then you can start blaming me for their crappy customer pick-up. :)

That was YOU all along? Dam, wish I had known. I've been bichin about the other for a long time too, now I get to put a name to it.

I will largely miss the whole summer. Figure 12 weeks total. 2 weeks in a splint, 4 in a cast, all non-weight bearing - then 6 weeks of PT. The big advantage to doing it now is Jr will be off of school to be my slave when he's not at hockey STP.

How can you support something that nobody has yet?

They make commitments to customers to provide a product, or a engine rating, that we don't have. Then come to engineering and say "we made a commitment, you HAVE to support it". Or we'll say "we're investigating the possibility of releasing product X", and they take that to mean "start selling product X YESTERDAY!". Sorry people, you won't get support anymore unless you're selling a product that is currently through engineering releases, and officially available for sale.

Similar things happen in my industry. The customer wants some fancy investment tool that our accounting system can't support? Terrific! Now we get to tell the front office (sales) team why they're either not getting that customer, paying for X number of new FTEs, or that team is paying us to develop a system to support it.

Speaker was Dr. Louis Sullivan, Secretary of HHS. Glamorous! :D At the SFA ceremony later we got Angela Lansbury. She hadn't been Mrs. Potts yet, just Murder She Wrote. :) And SFA was indoors. Which was nice.

No posts since before 11am? Seriously Lodge peeps, where are you?

Heading to the Red Sox game tonight. Not with Dad, yet I still think it might rain. I hope not. I forgot my BU Alumni Card so I hope I get a spot on the street tonight otherwise I'll have to pay, like, $30 to park.

Bother. Mr is watching Inside Edition (the National Enquirer of TV) where they are doing a piece on Oprah's stepmother who is crying poormouth because Oprah told her to move out of the house because she and the father are now divorced. She has 'Nothing" as they show all this stuff being moved out and her friends needed to move her (boohoo). This is the second time they put something on about this. Really? Poor her. She has lots of stuff. Just because her step daughter is rich doesn't mean she isn't a big girl who is responsible for herself. People like that really steam me.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)

There is more to it than that. The woman leveraged the house to help oprah's fathers business. Once that went bad oprah bought the mortgage. Later the father was found to be cheating and they split up.

This was the woman's house originally... All paid off, iirc.

Edit: that is not to say that she didn't make a mistake in using the house to help her husband... But it isn't that simple

What I objected to was her saying she had nothing as she stood in front of trucks of things complaining, acting helpless, saying she didn't know what she was going to do, she had no warning, etc. When we had snow on the ground she was going on about how she had to leave.

If Oprah bought the mortgage the money went somewhere. If the woman leveraged the house for the father then he is the deadbeat. Oprah paid for the house so I assume that means she got them out of the hole. I just don't see how she is responsible for this lady. I might feel more inclined to sympathy if she didn't whine and contradict herself while trying character assassination abouthte wrong person. If she was whining about the husband I am all for it.
