The mail for the other floors is starting to pile up even more (this includes interoffice mail and regular post office mail). It doesn’t help when people walk in and comment on it. I nearly bit off JackieM’s head when she walked in and made a comment. By then she had been the sixth person in two days. I happen to have been working on the daily mail which to me is freaking priority. I also had the opportunity to get the lobby mail that was there all week.
The last two days were exhausting to the point where I didn’t go to the DTC meeting and went to bed early last night. I got news about the car as well. I wasn’t feeling well either.
The news about the car isn’t good. The pin that holds the timing belt broke and caused serious damage to valves in the engine and TC needs to pull the engine out and fix it. It will take some time and could be expensive ($2200-$2500). Good news is Sis offered the use of her car while she is away next week. She will pick me up on Sunday and I will drop her off and take the car. I just told Mom about it when she got home from Dinner. She was happily surprised by the news and fact that Sis offered the car.
I saw Debra yesterday told her about the week and the current struggle with the car. She felt awful. I told her how things at work went including the firestorm at work. She gave me the insurance forms to submit to Aetna. I can do that tomorrow.
It’s been very chilly this evening. It has also been cloudy all afternoon as well. The rain is supposed to start in a couple of hours there is a chance of Thunderstorms all day tomorrow. \o/.
I am tired so as the normal Friday night I am just going to chill. I hope all of you had a great Friday and hopefully a great weekend. I will be around.

Ground Hog Day and snow delays
Well Phil the Ground Hog in Punxsutawney PA saw his shadow yesterday morning and the audience heckled it. Do they realize no matter if he saw it or not that it would still be six weeks of winter? Apparently the Connecticut version of Phil also saw his shadow and there is some prairie dog that also can predict the winter and has done it better then these two clowns. You can find out more at the link above.
Yesterday went pretty well. I garnered an invitation to a breakfast meeting with our Executive Director Marianne D-S for this Thursday. It is basically an employee participation meeting with out the big crowds. I don’t have much to tell her but it is rather awkward (and I get the feeling I will be the only one there besides the administration staff.) considering how closed to being in trouble with the mail I was last week (see my entry from last Wednesday).
Mom says that Jim did pretty well with the colonoscopy yesterday. Despite the fact they will have to perform some biopsies. The doctor seemed to be very encouraged. Jim called Mom shortly after the procedure was done and said he was going to go home and rest and take his meds.
As I was getting into the elevator at the garage where I park these two guys got on. One of them who seemed pretty obnoxious before getting on was smoking and as I was getting off at my floor I said something to him. He just looked at me and said aren’t you getting off? I said yeah I should have probably said something before it got started. When I told Gayle today she said it would have been better to grin and bear it.
Today as predicted the snow came and went before I left for work. Unfortunately it caused most of the towns and cities to delay school for up to two hours. Some of the staff came in by 11. By mid afternoon the sun was shining and most of the snow in the city was melted.
Work went well. I got most everything done except for the mail from the lobby. It probably came around 5 o’clock and by then I was already working OT. I was scanning Refund letters. It is pretty much what I have been doing for months.
I am happy to report that My “Momma” Dottie came to me and paid me a compliment about keeping up with the mail from the lobby. They had were expecting letters from Medicare and Medicaid and they were predating the letters and not sending them out until later on the month (hence the reason Admin or is monitoring the mail). What they are doing is checking the posting date in the corner with the actual day they were getting.
Mom met with a contractor who would be refurbishing the Garage doors and his price was twice the amount that our lawn guys offered so we are going with our lawn guys (they also do construction stuff). I will be actively participating in that venture.
When I got home tonight we had stuffed Flank Steak. I thought it was delicious I am not so sure Mom did though. She also had broiled mushrooms, creamed cauliflower, and squash. I love those.
Bob called tonight to invite us to dinner for Mom and Bob’s birthday and for Bob and Ethel’s wedding anniversary on Friday. We will be going to Savin Rock Roasting Company ; I suggested that we invited Liz and Nelson. Mom was concerned about the price (it’s her treat). I told her I would pay for them and myself. I feel it would help things in general.
Well I have another long day ahead of me so I am going to say good night for now. I wish you all good health.

Pies and Work
Well hello everyone. It is just about 8 Saturday nigh and I am so tired. I got up early and got ready for the day. As the title of the entry says today was the MYWC Pie in the Sky project with Hopkins School. I left a little after 8 and drove to the school with no problem.
The school is on hills on Forest Road. The campus is beautiful the buildings were massive. They have a beautiful view of New Haven from where they are. I couldn’t help but feel they are so close to town but have a world of their own. The surrounding homes were beautiful and I would have loved to see how far forest road would go. I probably still could.
I met the other students from all over the new haven area (and some from Fairfield county as well) some of the students (there were boys there too) were sophomores and juniors. Their teacher was Mrs. Lane. She was a former Research tech at Yale and now a science teacher at Hopkins. Roberta was there and her leg bothering her. She says she is going to have surgery on it. I was only able to stay until 10. I wanted to be at work by 10:30. I thought I would have a lot of time to get there before the big Game this afternoon. I was really wrong.
The parking and traffic started early especially on the Derby Avenue and Route 34 area. It wasn’t long but the crowds were going to the tailgating and early seats. As I got closer to the office the parking lots were filling up as well. The garages were filled too. People parking on the streets were getting tagged as well.
I got to work by quarter of 11 and found others to be there too. Many from my team were there as well. I could feel my body getting tired (I was not feeling that well either). It was that time for Scarlet’s visit. I worked until 2 and then a brief visit with Miss Annie and then I came home.
When I got home Mom was out shopping. I watched TV for a bit and then had something to eat. It was nearly 3 I think. When Mom finally did come home she reminded me she was going out to dinner with her friend Martha. She got home just before 8.
Sadly a cousin of Mom’s passed away yesterday. We knew her as Sis. She was a hairdresser in town for many years. She has been living in Stratford for a long time. At least I think she has. The wake is Monday and the Funeral Tuesday. Mom will be going to both.
Tomorrow Dave and I will be heading to Stamford for their annual Thanksgiving Parade. It starts at 12 noon but they will be shutting down the streets around 10. He called me just about 8 and told me that we will need to leave by quarter of 9 from his place so that we can stop and have breakfast at McDonalds.

I am never using the elevators in the parking garage again
Why you ask? Well this morning about 20 of 8 there were 8 of us in the elevator and it stopped--in between 2nd Floor and the street. The other seven were from KOF (Knights of Columbus) and that was the cosmic joke. If any of you have read my blogs you know I kvetch about how the employees from that organization wlaks down the ramps to get to their building. One of them used the call button and got the company operator (or who ever) and they said they would send someone. We had to call them back and then it was decided to call 911. They got us out after 8. Luckily I was able to call Susan R and leave message. I couldn't get Patti. That's why I am not using their elevators. They really need to do something about it.
Later on I called Mom. First to let her know what happened (not that she could do anything about it) and then again to let her know that I would like her to invite Bob and Ethel. She was telling me yesterday that she felt bad she couldn't invite them because Liz resents him. Mom admitted that Bob is abrasive and doesn't mean. I told her that he is difficult to be with. She dismissed Liz's feelings as "seeing things that not really there". Mom is also upset that Jim hasn't returned any of her calls.
Oh this day just got better. I just called Mom a little after 2 and guess what? Good News: Bob and ethel are coming. Bad news: Mom "inadvertantly" opened my union plus bill. She went into the "you could have had a good life" "i don't have the money to get my medication". I told her I am working on it and thinking of getting rid of it.
WE had the discussion and it didn't go well. She told me that what I do effects the house and that she has a right to know. SHe didn't like my attitude she told me I could get out and do things on my own. and she feels that i need help and she asked me what Debra thought of it (she had the audacity to call her barbara). Before dinner we talked about it and I asked her if any of those credit councelors would work.
I also told her about the AARP. Now she is going to be on the look out for that. Where does she get off thinking because its her house she needs to know everything? if anyone told her she was out of line she would probably tell him to "keep still" and "I am going to do what I want".
The meeting went very well. Lee was honored and given a citation. Near the end Linda Stevenson told me I should get the letter of resignation from Barbara S. That anything should come from me and not mike. Mom jumped into the discussion sticking her damn nose into it.
I am being civil to her but down deep I am so damn angry that she thinks she needs to control everything
I got an email from Jim tonight. He was wishing me a happy birthday. I was concerned that he didn't return any calls of Mom's. I went downstairs and asked her and she told me he called. He isn't talking about the divorce. I asked her if she told him about the credit card and she said yes. He is upset and says I need help. I asked her again what did he say? He better of told her that she was in violation of my civil rights to privacy.
