Teleporting

MS Word and Outlook keep wanting to correct "teleworking" to "teleporting." Wouldn't that be a cool way to get to work?

Take Your Wife to Work Day

I'm working from Shane's office today. Nice setup! Screaming fast Internet connection and access to a copier, fax machine, etc. But my husband needs to learn some cube etiquette. He makes phone calls using his speaker phone and blows his nose with customers on the other end of the line!

Bummer

Marc Brownstein (of the Disco Biscuits) is married! Still trying to find out more about the personal lives of the other band members.

Encouragement From a Fellow Telecommuter

"That's good you're doing ok with the telecommuting. In the beginning I never stopped during the day at all, either. But after a while you start to feel like your living your work life since you work where you live and there is not real beginning (going into the office) or end (leaving the office) to the day. So you end up working more than you would if you went into the office. Now I try to take it a little easier on myself, ... of course it really depends on how much I have going on, and sometimes I don't stop either. It's way too easy to keep working until 7, 8 or 9 at night, but I'm trying to be better about that (especially with the nice weather now). My point is, it's important you do take some time for yourself ... whether you take a walk at lunch time or just make sure you end your day when you would if you were in the office." - a friend.

Changes in Attitude

We saw Jimmy Buffet over the weekend at Jazz Fest. What a great place to see him! It was like goin' home. Buffet is a fantastic performer and puts on a good show. He even cross dressed for one song. Buffet sings a song about changes in latitude, changes in attitude. After 12 days in the South I definitely have had some changes in attitude.

5 good things to do on your lunch hour:
1. Lay by the pool (and hope you don't blind people with your white skin)
2. Get your nails done
3. Have lunch with a friend (but don't eat too much, the girls down here are THIN)
4. Post to your blog
5. It will come to me I know, just let me think about it for awhile

Unfortunately, I've only taken a lunch 3 of the 7 days I've worked. Today I will take a lunch!

I'm that much of a groupie

We just booked this really great trip!

A groupie is a person who, while he/she may be a fan at some level, seeks intimacy (most often physical, sometimes emotional) with a famous person. -- Wikipedia

The Kitties Survived the Trip

I sent Zeus to Shane a few days before Maia and I made the trip. Poor Shane! Zeus cried for three days and the moment he saw his sister and mom he stopped. Shane couldn't sleep even with earplugs! I'm happy to report the family is happily settled at the apartment. Maia was a wonderful (and quiet) travel companion so I certainly got the better end of the deal. Now if we can all just survive the trip home.
