When our son lived in FL we would usually go visit in Jan or Feb for a couple weeks. We would go out in our shirtsleeves and they would have coats and gloves. When it was warm enough for them we were sweating.

Yeah a buddy of mine comes up from Ft. Meyers in the spring when it is in the 50's and 60's...we are loving the weather, wearing short sleeves and he is FREEZING.

Yeah, that's the way it typically goes.  :yes:  When the temperature gets below 70 degrees, I'm putting on a jacket.  ;D

My smile for the day ... on the way to work this morning, I got behind a sewage truck. On the bumper was a big sign - "Our competition stinks!"

"I realized I might have a road rage problem when my son yelled, 'pick a fucking lane,' from the grocery cart."
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Well, if this happened in Walmart, I understand. Those damn scooters have gotten out of hand. They run up and down the aisles, block the through ways and whip around corners. I'm convinced that maybe 10% actually need them. On Christmas Eve, I suggested to management that they add traffic lights and crosswalks. ;D

Just have an unanticipated level of personal business going on at the moment, and it doesn't appear that it is going to slow down for at least the next 10-14 days. . . Mostly good stuff, some "noise". . .  :wink:

I apologize up front for the gratuitous commercial below, but I have a reason for posting it; (which follows below it)

https://www.youtube.com/v/mfnR59x1hEY&spfreload=10

Each morning as part of my work, I have to attend a series of tiered accountability meetings, during which we review what was accomplished the previous day, where we failed, and identify remediation for those incidents that require attention; eventually being prioritized 1 through 3, or "the top 3".

I attend tier meeting 2 and 3, with 2 being lead by myself, and tier 3 being attended by all of my peers, several other managers, and the leaders of support functions like technical affairs, quality, and warehouse operations. . . These people are a bunch of stuffed shirts and the tier 3 is a dry, boring ass meeting in which there is rarely a moment of levity. . . Until this morning.

Yesterday I was holding an impromptu meeting in my office with my lieutenants, and the above posted commercial came up. I giggle like a child every time that comes on. I can't help it. It just makes me laugh, and it doesn't get old no matter how many times I see it. As we laughed about it in my office yesterday afternoon, I told those in attendance that if there was ever an opening at tier 3 I was going to do the above in that meeting. We all laughed and speculated it would never, ever, happen. (HAH!)

This morning all the stuffed shirts with their twisted underwear were in attendance. And apparently karma was listening to me when I said that yesterday, because as I listened to the blathering, I heard a colleague ask the machining representative when he was going to receive his finished parts for a particular order. "Oh, I'll have some over by 10 this morning.", he said.

"How many?", was the retort.

"44" he replied.

After which I IMMEDIATELY did the entire routine performed above by Ickey Woods at the meat counter; with great gusto and enthusiasm.  :big grin:

It took 15 minutes for everyone to stop laughing hysterically. . .

And it was the talk of the campus all day long, including the weekly mandatory managers meeting at the end of the day today. (During which I performed an encore performance for those who were not in attendance this morning; by popular request.)

That's one tier 3 they're going to remember for awhile!  :icon_twisted:

Apparently it is quite popular with the folks I work with as well. Every damned one of them knew exactly what I was doing. And I was told by many of them that I have the Ickey Shuffle down pat!  :big grin:

I actually did it three times today. Right after the meeting I went onto one of the departments I am charged with overseeing, and one of my direct reports was wearing a red football jersey with the number 44 on it. I asked the team leader what number was on his shirt, and when he told me I did it right there in their work room. . .

They were rolling. . .  :biggrin:
