I didn't get any reading done. The sun is shining and called us out for a walk.

Which reminds me, DR TCB I told Keith what you said about getting a Fitbit and he laughed. I apologize for not commenting sooner

Four!

Page four? Really?

Well, it was another long day at the office. Tomorrow, about 8 of the 11 people left will also be taking an optional training session. They love their training sessions, you know. They say it'll help them with the work they'll have to do after their third promotion from now comes through.

Anyway, our interim supervisor sent out an email saying no more than three people at a time can do these optional training sessions.

I sent her a thank-you note.

I'm really not terribly sympathetic at work any more.

In case you hadn't noticed that.

I guess they figure I'm just an old sumbitch or something like that.

I had to edit the work of a person who's at a higher level than I am, and it took four or five hours. It was sloppy and not well thought through. I could have done it faster myself.

Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch

Watching more outtakes from Monterey Pop tonight. Good music. David Crosby singing with the Byrds. Looking forward to Lou Rawls, Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company, Laura Nyro and The Who.

ABC is claiming that the reboot of "Roseanne" is the number one NEW comedy.

That is not saying MUCH at all. Hardly anything.

I find it watchable, but not a bit funny.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #104 on:** April 10, 2018, 07:56:59 PM »

The reboot of "Will and Grace" is in-your-face crass, IMO.

What was once funny because of inference has lost all sense of fun with outright crudity.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #105 on:** April 10, 2018, 07:57:29 PM »

What in hell is happening to television shows...any way?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #106 on:** April 10, 2018, 07:58:26 PM »

I watched the motion picture of "It" today. I really loved the cast and the "inspired by the novel" story line.

I look forward to chapter 2.

Just a reminder: Warner Archives is releasing a Blu ray of "Les Girls" within the week (I think).

I love that movie.

We're ladies in waiting,
In waiting to the king ...

Uh-oh, another earworm.

John G. · « **Reply #109 on:** April 10, 2018, 08:11:31 PM »

And an earworm while The Who are performing. Odd.

Latest from the collaborator with the aunt stories.

(dialogue not verbatim, but the gist...)

What date was the outline you're talking about?
I feel I told you which outline I'm talking about.
But I really don't know which outline you're referring to.
But I feel I told you.
So if you think you told me already, what's the harm in telling me again?
But I feel I told you already.

This phone conversation today felt like a modern take on the old line "I never repeat salacious gossip. So please listen carefully the first time."

It's like the people who insist,

I sent you an email with that info

Well I don't have it could you please and it again ?

But I already sent it

I am sorry I cannot locate your email could you send it again?

But I already sent it

Tiday I had a phone call from someone who was angry at me for not responding to the three emails he sent me

I apologized and said I didn't see them, I did an email search while he was on the phone, I checked my spam filter, checked deleted ...

Did you send it to "myname@mycompany.com" I asked

NO! He shouted I sent it to "someoneIneverheardof@aFirmIdontknow.net"...

Ah! That could explain why I didn't respond to your emails....he was not placated, he felt that I should have read them and responded anyway since he is paying good money for our services

Our main scanner decided it had enough and refused to work anymore

vixmom · « **Reply #116 on:** April 10, 2018, 09:25:52 PM »

Our main printer/copier/fax machine decided if the scanner didn't work it didn't see why it should work

vixmom · « **Reply #117 on:** April 10, 2018, 09:27:41 PM »

So all 11 of us were using the backup copier/printer and hoping it wouldn't find out that the other machines had quit
