Today, I Caved

The Sheriffs department never showed up, at least not yesterday like they said they were. This does not mean they won't but I feel I am ready for who ever THEY are if they do show up and want the donation. I figured you all would want to know what happened.

I caved today. I have a regular meeting every two months, its a lunch meeting and I try to work it out so I have enough comp time earned so I do not have to come back to the office. This has been a busy week—the boss is finally gone. Today should have been her last day but she is working an extra pay period so she will have insurance coverage to last her her trip to N.J. I ended up working through a couple of lunches and I had the Russians on Wednesday night. I think giving me more then enough comp-time to take the afternoon off.. This morning I was banking on to be a typical quiet Friday but at 9:30 the boss emails me that she is writing her last report for the office and needs me to supply some information for then report. I am completely caught off guard so I whip out 500 or 600 words and send them to her via email w/ attachment. By that time I was running about a half hour late. I did not bring my van in today so I am at the mercy of public transit. So only telling my partner I zoom out of the office. I kinda suggested I would be back to other office folk. Of course CC, my office mate, always encourages me to “not come back”. I really she loves it when I am gone. CC said she had the phones covered and I would be OK. So, I caved, I did not return to the office after the meeting. I did call to see if any trauma had resulted and there was none so I was gone. I am hoping that by Monday the boss( who is in one day for her farewell lunch) will have forgot everything. She then is gone for a week on vacation and then she will be gone for good.

It's hot today, I am sure the temp was will over 100 degrees out on the tarmac. I was smart enough to wear my hat today—with no hair i have to wear a cap of some sort or I am sure to get heat stroke at least. I was going to put one of the bottles of water we keep for Council member into the freezer to keep with me on the road but I forgot in this morning's stress. I must start carrying water, frozen or other wise. This could save my life. It looks like it going to be hot for the next week or so. I love these days, little clothes as possible and reading my favorite books. I hope you all are enjoying your summer—Fall is but a whisper on the horizon. Have a great weekend.
