That pic right there? EXACTLY how I’m feeling. Sleepy. Wish I was home curled up on my sofa. Ahhh, for the “good old days” cause a year ago? That’s EXACTLY where I was. I do so miss my infamous “Pajama Days”. *sigh* LOL

I *think* I was in bed fairly early last night…early for me at least but I woke up around 2am. It was H-O-T in the house and I couldn’t go back to sleep so, I got up and shuffled down the hall to the office and started doing a bunch of nothing. Before I “knewed” it, it was 6am…time to get ready for work. How I wish I had more vacation days. I wonder if my manager would’ve let me work from home. I don’t have a laptop BUT the documents I’m creating I could certain do from my own PC. I’ll have to feel him out on that.

In the meantime, I’m here. With my 24-oz cappachino. (Hmmm, wonder how many carbs are in that thing? I know it puts me over the “legal limit”. Sheesh! Oh well, I’m gonna enjoy every drop.)

I was envisioning coming home after work, changing, and crawling into my bed. But then I remembered I have a dental appointment AND need to make it back across town for a friend’s retirement party. Another of my friends has been “divorced” by my former employer but she had the right combo of years/age to retire.

Yesterday was an interesting day. I was looking for some documentation at home to help with a current project and stumbled across an email from someone I worked with many moons ago. I led a project that they were subsequently enveloped into and the email was one that he sent to me once I was rolling off the project. It was the BEST project I’ve EVER been a part of. Loved, loved, loved my project team to the Nth degree. We worked it out! We put it down! We did the dayum thang! For real.

Anywho, guess who emailed me? At home?? Yep! I can’t even imagine how he got my email addy. I know it was bigger than “six degrees of separation”. What a cool thing to do. I had to laugh when he told me he was out in Ohio quoting me to his staff. When our project ended, some team members gave me a list of their favorite “Jackie-isms” which included “There’s a very thin line between an excuse and an explanation - walk it carefully.” LOL (Hmmm, I should charge royalties. LOL)

It must have been the day for “old acquaintances” cause my Mom was busy trying to make me remember some guy from my hometown. His name sounds familiar but that’s about it. She says he specifically asked about me by name. Now I’m known for remembering names, faces, conversations - the whole works but this guy? I couldn’t place. Then my Mom goes on to tell me who he went to school with and I’m left scratching my head cause….that dude is O-L-D! LOL And how da heck does he know me if he went to school with those folks?? Seriously. Sounds suspicious to me. I’m thinking maybe he has me confused with BigSis#2 but he clearly knew who I was vs. my sister. Said he remembered when I played softball during summer league. WTH?? All I know is if my mom gives out my phone number or address, she will be in the nursing home before dusk! LOL

It’s only 10AM. *Sigh*

Well, it’s payday. That definitely counts!

AND it’s “kinda sunny” and warm. That counts too!

And….somebody made me laugh yesterday…as ususal…
And…that same somebody made me smile yesterday…as usual…
And…I’m still smiling….
And…um, that REALLY counts.

All right - off to stir up some trouble in Corporate America.

Be easy!
