Someone Phone Home For Cripes Sake.

The weather today is a mixed blessing. The high temperature has been only 73 degrees, which is cool for this time of year. As much as ten degrees below normal and a welcome change. Every cool day is one that we have robbed from the heat of summer. On the other hand, the winds have returned this afternoon, making being outside a little unpleasant. I arrived at work today to find that a large area of our floor has been shrouded in clear plastic suspended from the ceiling and secured at top and bottom with red duct tape. This has created a clear plastic room within our work area. There is a giant air exchanger, sucking up the dust. Probably asbestos or something. I stopped to chat with the foreman of the crew working in the area and he told me that they are tearing out the old conference room and archive rooms and creating an new larger conference room. I'm thrilled, more space for meetings. While I chatted with the foreman, a coworker walked by and said, "What happened, did you catch E.T.?" Funny guy. Later he hung a sign on the plastic sheeting that said, E.T. phone home. It went on all day, my side ache from laughing and I have slapped my knee bloody. Perhaps you saw the story of the couple who hired a NYC cabbie to drive them from Forest Hills, Queens to their new home in Sedona, AZ, the freak capital of the west. In case you missed it, the cab fare from NYC to Sedona is five grand, including expenses. The reason that I bring this up is that Kurt and Todd have been out of the office and on the road. The article said that the couple was an elderly man and woman, but Kurt is a master of disguise. Hmmm. Things in this blog represented to be fact, may or may not actually be true. The writer is frequently wrong, sometimes just full of it, but always judgmental and cranky Tag: Daily Life Personal Finance Humor
