They say your memory goes as you get older and I think they may be right. Because last week, I went into work to put a turkey in the oven for the next day. I took the turkey out of the fridge, placed it on the table. Turned on the hood and the oven. Went and did a few things while waiting for the oven to heat. Then I locked the doors and turned out the lights and went home. When I got to work the next morning, what do you think I saw on the table...
The *#^#&* turkey.

Save the Libraries!!
I'm blogging right now from my local branch library, Morrison Regional. Friends, they are closing all our libraries! April 3, the doors close on this one, Myers Park, Scaleybark, and many many others. Why? Because the budget has been cut. Because the city/county wants something else besides programs for our kids, books, research materials, Internet access for those who can't afford it (like me) and a community gathering place! What could be more important than libraries?
It is appalling and if you live in this community, maybe you don't use the library every day, but you know if you needed to, it would be there.
Not anymore.
FIGHT THIS!!! CALL YOUR COUNCILPEOPLE!!! DONATE!!!!

Friendly Fire
I've been under the weather lately. Benadryl is my newest best friend, and Claritin can get me thru a day. However for the past two days, I've not taken my Claritin and consequently, get these boggling headaches about halfway thru my day. So I pull the Tylenol from the secured location and took two. Yesterday, I took the last two. I put the bottle on the table to throw away before I left.
I forgot.
The people in charge of things did a walk thru and discovered my forgetfulness. While not an unpardonable sin, it is a definite black mark on a mostly-spotless record. Gah. That's enough to put my head on a swivel for the rest of the year.
Sigh.
Here's the thing I learned: People can be friendly but that does not make them your friends. It pays to remember that your job exists at the sufferance of someone else.
Bring your A game.
