Well, you've read the notes, the notes were so 2011, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they'll be home for sure by 2017.

Topic of the Day: I was three years old in 1969.

I'll have to think about this one.

Today at work is going to be a day. We're FINALLY having another interview for our collection manager position (which is my supervisor). This is the third, count 'em THIRD round of interviews...actually, the second time that the position was announced, they didn't do any live interviews. I think that they had a couple of phone interviews, but no one was good enough for a live interview.

We'll see what happens!

And now...to bed.

Morning all.

That is all.

Ben · « **Reply #6 on:** August 29, 2011, 03:22:20 AM »

Eating breakfast and then back to the office for a week (with a short Friday) of work.

Ben · « **Reply #7 on:** August 29, 2011, 03:23:01 AM »

We are closed Monday.

We will probably stay in the city this weekend instead of going to Long Island since we were just out there two weeks ago.

The sun is up and it looks like a nice day in Manhattan.

Bye for now.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I'm on a bus, Bolt-ing back to NYC for a true 24-hour visit.

Michael · « **Reply #12 on:** August 29, 2011, 03:47:09 AM »

I understand the Jose might be making his way towards Florida.

Not the musical Jose, but the tropical storm Jose.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #14 on:** August 29, 2011, 03:48:13 AM »

Actually, it will be less than 24 hours. More like 18 hours. But, of course, food(!) will be involved.

Wait? There's a musical called Jose?

And since I don't want to annoy my seat mate, and since I do want to zonk out for a bit...

Laters...

Well, things have changed. I'm glad I called. I have the day off due to "transportation disruptions". Of course, I have no transportation disruptions but many in my office do, especially those living in New Jersy and Long Island, so they decided to close for the day. We resume normal office hours tomorrow and then Friday we close at 1 (I'll leave at 11) for the Labor Day holiday.

Today I will call the super to get the leak in the kitchen sink faucet fixed.

Like George, I was a young'un back then. Certainly too young to see "Midnight Cowboy."

Here's a link to movies from 1969 from which I culled the list below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_films_of_1969

They Shoot Horses, Don't They?
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
Sweet Charity
The Reivers
That Cold Day in the Park
The Wild Bunch
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Good morning, all! This has been a morning of [i[tsuris[/i]; conversation wth Judy about our EILEEN situation, an email from the Calfornia office thalaid everyone in Toyland off in March, and I am srill deciphering the geographic lay of the land in Manhattan after the Hurricane madness.

From the reports all over the Hudson area and south of the City, I think the news media did well to cover things so heavily and dramatically; it's making things so much easier for the cleanup crews and all rescue efforts and repairs. I'm happy a lot of Manhattanites evacuated this weekend. There's an editorial in today's TIMES praising Mayor Bloomberg and the media for urging folk to get out of Manhattan.

So, today, I've got some banking, perhaps a visit with my London friend Dominic McHugh, and a trip to the post office. I'll put off my trip to check out the situation at Toyland on hold until tomorrow.

TOD: I have no memory of films I saw in 1969! I was in grad school and - between the music and theatre depts. and my job at the university library - I was working my proverbial butt off!

All subway service is back. Fantastic!

All the parks are closed until they've been inspected for damage and falling limbs and other potential threats. I'm sure they're quite muddy as well.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #27 on:** August 29, 2011, 06:05:40 AM »

I was wide awake at 2:45 this morning. I have no idea if it were the fact that it was 7:45 in Dublin and I haven't adjusted to the new time zone or if it were my mind running through the logistics of dealing with two difficult employers.

I believe I'm up. I've announced the new title. One irksome thing - I "liked" the Francis Lai page on Facebook, and therefore when you put that name in anything you post there that post is supposed to show up as a "related post" and all friends of Lai see it. That did not happen. Too bad. Thus far I have received 0 orders.
