- Mmmm Reese's peanut butter eggs. You have to by the ones sold individually or in the two pack, the ones in the bag are different.
- Lunch from the boss today...it was pizza and salad which is what I had for dinner last night. But hey it was free!
- It's been snowing since last night, the forecasters were wrong again. Can I have that job for what they get paid and it's ok to be wrong?
- Procurement screwed up my conference registration-have me leaving and returning a day earlier than what was requested, RT's registration is correct. There's a byzantine process to get it corrected that has taken to phone calls, me telling a rep they didn't need to be foul on the phone, and an email.
- Pondering post conference accommodations and rental car strategy so we can show my other half some of the great things about my home state.

My boss is wasting her time today in a sexual harassment workshop-she laughed when I told her my Cliff Notes version: "Don't do it!"
There's one lady that works in a different department that will spend 10 minutes in the bathroom talking on the phone knowing full well others are probably waiting to actually use the toilet.
I don't have to go anywhere today
