And now for a collection of off beat stories mostly from the office ... except for this one.
LinkedIn in not a social media site that supports anonimity. When a person visit someones profile, that person is alerted. Apparently, however, it does not show a person visits from buisness pages. At least not on an individual basis. I recently recieved an email letting me know that I am "being noticed" with a break down of pages that have visited me. Reno Food Systems was at the top of the list with 56 visits recorded. Hmmm.
And now onto the office hijinks. I have a caller at work who ive talked to before. I was supposed to call him one morning when a training happened so I shot him an email and let him know I was delayed. He replied "Tied Up? Let me come help you." I didnt reply but he chuckled over it when I talked to him next. This time he had a gal pal there assisting him. And i got to hear him how he was going to spend his weekend. In the kitchen, naked except for his cowboy boots. Hed be stiring the pot with his "big spoon." I know he could hear me blushing and called me out on it. Oh my!
Reporting a machine that blows instead of sucks also makes me turn a bit rosey. But I kept it together and professional. It should not do that. Reporting that same problem twice in as many days.... lord, Hold it together girl.
Trinidad caught me reading on my phone the other day and thought it was an extremely funny sight. Glasses off, screen a mere 2.5 inches from the tip of my nose. He said he should make a 3d printed headband that holds the phone at the right diatance. He also recently introduced me to CBDB its a joy funk band. Gives me a much better appreciation of his charactor. And its been a damn long time sense I heard the sweet sound of a sax accompaniment. The band features excellent instrumentalists.
There has been a growing dyno scene happening in the corridors of DR. First there was one on the water bottle fill station. One in the restroom .. then two. Eventually they began to congrgate centrally. A debate began over the legitimacy of astoroids. Then weapons showed up. More dinos and then the backdrop changed. When last I looked a single dino (who looks suspiciously like the one Trinidad gave me) popped up across the hall.


And just to add a dose of additional wacky to the mix, I happened to have a picture of me with a koala in my pocket one day and it was a day I happened to share my lunch break with some of the trainers. As we were strolling back to our desks I asked Wendy if she knew koalas carried stds. Then I showed her my picture and told her thats when I got Chlamydia. She responds with "I have questions!" I laugh and skip over to Clifton whom I know cuaght a bit of the commotion but had not been in on the story and told him the same. Im full out giggling and he looks purplexed. So I declare "Im joking!!!" Seems it took him a minute to puzzle out and translate std to sti. The name may have changed but the discomfort remains. "Scratch, Scratch"
Speaking of names,
in regards the title of this posting.. the jack is Australian for the clap.
We took Willow and Max out to dinner for her birthday. She is doing pretty well at the moment. There is a breathing/ heart routine she has been following and its allowed her to be out of the wheel chair and moving around. She is looking good.

Greg has been hard at work planning the start up of our fish tank. Weve moved things to make it a center piece. Picts to be posted later.
Next weekend is Thanksgiving. We are not doing much as it'll just be greg and i at home but Friday night we will be hosting a board game night. Should be fun.
