MickinMD ★ Posted November 21, 2022 Share #3 Posted November 21, 2022 Too cool and breezy for outside work but the rest of the week looks good, so inside the house work and some shopping today. My tomato plants, with thriving green leaves yesterday, look very wilted this morning after the first hard frost of the year last night. The temperature is now above freezing and is expected to stay that way or close to it for a couple weeks. If the plants don't recover, I'll be cleaning up the garden patch this week and storing the tomato cages and soaker hose (that I haven't had to use since July) and plan what's going in next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoseySusan Posted November 21, 2022 Share #8 Posted November 21, 2022 It’s cold outside, so probably go to the gym. Laundry and cleaning. I might get some writing done. The master bathroom tiling is supposed to continue today, including starting to build the shower floor. It takes a few days to lay and cure stages of concrete for a shower. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted November 21, 2022 Share #9 Posted November 21, 2022 Working from home. The plumber is in the basement replacing the main shutoff valve as it’s old and leaking like a runny nose. Not to where there is a puddle underneath but a sign that it’s coming. Also replacing the shutoff valve to the front hose bib. The old one don’t want to turn and I don’t want a burst pipe in the crawl space. Later I’ll feed the sourdough starter and prepare to make sourdough sandwich bread tomorrow. After Thursday, we’ll need sandwich bread. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I touched base with the original requester, the job had been done but I get credit for closing the ticket. Dumb ass! By the end of next week he should be behind us. The other guy and I can do the job without him, but we have no margin for error and we can only keep up if we don’t take days off. We both have PTO we need to burn so it will be interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted November 22, 2022 Share #45 Posted November 22, 2022 Went into office for work, my once/wk. time: Changed a short presentation deck to use to open meetings with 2 different parties on different days..to talk for about 10 min. Lay the groundwork for near future. Before rest of meeting agenda. Normally I don't do this. But it is to manage client near future expectations. Then finished revising a guideline and posted it for team to comment within 4 days. Then realized it meant another changing guideline. THis is getting ugly : To heck, with this: we can't do everything right away. Responded with my opinion online, to colleague's posted question in Teams channel. Had 2 different impromptu virtual meetings where each person had to show me stuff. I gave some impressions, suggestions and encouragement. lst person had just taken 1 of my courses, so I could see she was integrating what she learned. I'm happy. Found/corrected some errors in a master document..will be released corporately. So I have to be perfect because people use it. (We can see automatic audit trail who and when they read the doc.) Drafted 70% an email for 100+ people in 2 wks. It will point to our latest revised standard to use. Need to wait till boss returns from vacation NZ. Email required me to summarize 46 change requests. Will have some links to docs...which some docs. have to be updated. Booked online a course time for Jan. 2023. Wanted to get my instructor's choice of dates before colleagues pepper the Jan, schedule. after work bought a water flosser on sale. Oh yea, on my way to work...I mailed Christmas cards to each of my family members. After all, I won't be there in person. My life is so humdrum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinneR ★ Posted November 22, 2022 Share #46 Posted November 22, 2022 I read way too many worthless emails. I think all messages should be delivered in the form of a singing telegram.

We just know it means we’ll have extra work when we come back. Not much we can do about that. Our manager understands the situation and supports us.
