Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #174: Spring Cleaning

Good morning Lodge and Happy Friday. Been at work since a little before 8am. Drove in today. Wanted to leave early because traffic has been crap - it wasn't this morning - and parking has been almost non-existent - it almost was. My outdoor teeny lot wasn't an option because it's bone chilling cold and I haven't even seen it since before all the snow so it may not even be open. The garage I go to when I can't get into that lot was full. At 7:30. thankfully another garage across the street still had spots. I have no idea how much that one costs. I do believe it's significanly cheaper than the garage under our building. Planning to leave at 4 to wind my way through the city to get to campus for the game tonight. It's pretty cold this morning.

Did everyone see all the internet chatter about what color the dress is? I saw blue and black. I thought the people who saw white and gold were just doing that to get a rise out of everyone who saw blue and black. I asked one of my co-workers this morning is she saw it on Twitter last night and she hadn't so I showed her and she says it's white and gold. I was flabbergasted. She was too when I said I saw blue and black. It was truly weirdness all around.

White and gold. I made an effort to see blue and black, and nope.

Morning

My phone upgraded to the new Android OS finally today. Hope it's an actual improvement!

Well, I think it would be faster! :) I have a 12 noon bridal shower that Saturday. If BU has the East or Northeast regional with Sat/Sun games, what times are the games? Because I could do both. If they have the Fri/Sat and lose Friday, I won't have to worry now, will I? If they go to either Fargo or South Bend, I won't make the shower. Depends on where they get seeded and where the games are once the seedings happen. I have plans mookie!!! Jeez. Plus, I have already put in for taking that Friday off. If I need to make it Monday, I would like to know. I am a busy person!!!!!!

ETA: Also, to counteract any jinx I may have just placed on them, I am fully aware if they lose both games this weekend and fail to make it to the Garden for the HE tournament, this may not even be an issue.

I remember those days. It seems like just a few years ago, I would watch selection Sunday with anticipation (even though we pretty much knew who was going where after reading bracketology). Immediately afterwards my friend (Jeff, the one I was with at BU this year) and I would start making reservations. I miss those days where my team always made the tournament, and my football team always played in a bowl game.


As for the dress, white and gold. I can maybe see light blue for the white if I just look at the bottom half, but I don't know how people see the gold as black.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #174: Spring Cleaning

The dress thing seems like a trick for only 1 reason. People have pictures side by side of the dress being different colors.

If it was truly your eyes perception then the side by side photos would be the same color. But they arent.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #174: Spring Cleaning

It's blue and black.

This should be a great weekend. Never been a bigger regular season series here ever.

I don't get that stupidity.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #174: Spring Cleaning

So another one of my co-workers who saw white and gold just saw a different post on Facebook and said "OMG I see blue and black now! Come over here!" So I went over to her desk to look and I saw white and gold. I'm done.

My brother was mad, he forgot the game was even being played last night until he read my text asking if he was at the game. He also said that he never would've gone because of the late start time and he has an early start time for his job (6-230 shift).

Here you go, a pseudo scientific analysis of the dress color thingy that I'm only now just learning is a thing: http://www.wired.com/2015/02/science-one-agrees-color-dress/

Same pose with different colored dresses. Genius marketing gag getting too much play time
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #174: Spring Cleaning

Yes! Not going to Argentina in March. This makes my schedule much more reasonable. Trip postponed to sometime this summer.

MNS, what does your work schedule look like next week? Interested in getting dinner Tuesday or Wednesday nights?

Yeah, well, I can deal with that much better than I can fitting an international trip in my schedule for the next 4 weeks. :p

Might be when it's sweltering up here so maybe a nice break.

I don't believe that their winters are as cold as ours either.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #174: Spring Cleaning

Well time for a job change already, got an offer for a mechanical engineering position in De Pere earlier this week. Accepted it and put in my 2 weeks this morning.
