Day 583 - Midweek Musings
Greetings, Bloggy Midlife and Midweekers!
Charlie's last day is t-minus TWO and counting! Lucky Lucky Dog Dog.
He has had a 'shadow' for the last couple of days while training someone.
Charlies 'customers' - who were satisfied with just phoning when they had an issue - are now trying to DOCUMENT how he has fixed their computer in the past, so they can do it themselves from now on. Rather humorous. Others are calling, asking if there is a job opening for his job. Also humorous.
Speaking of jobs - one guy who has only been here a few months is leaving our company because he was unable to sell his house in Iowa and move down here! I guess that proves the housing market has slowed to a crawl. He was waiting for the sale before moving his family here, and that hasn't happened, so he is returning to Iowa. That is a shame!
I swam yesterday - started off in the indoor pool because we had a popup rain shower at the health club (none at home), then moved outdoors when the rain stopped.
I am about the only one brave enough to get in the outdoor pool these days, but the temp really isn't bad, and I greatly prefer to be outdoors in the air and sunshine.
The pool aquatics director said all the folks from New England say the water isn't too cold. (That's because we know what cold water is!) He said the last guy that scoffed at the outdoor pool temp said he was from Cape Cod.
Well - better get at it - have a nice Wednesday and TTFN!

What is the temperature of the outdoor pool? Our pool is already put to bed for the winter because with the cold mornings the temp of the water gets low and Gil doesn't want to use all that propane to heat it up for just a couple of swims. Actually today would be one of those days, now 85 for the day's high. That's OK--I walked this morning before it got too hot. Karen, I just read yesterday's blog--how funny all those happenings associated with the baby shower! And Noah's Ark left something to be desired! Sent a card to Charlie for his retirement, but couldn't find a funny one that day--very limited selection! Guess nobody retires around here--they "get through"!

Congratulations, Charlie, you LD! I bet you'll keep busy... Are you going to hunt all the time? Just think of all those turkeys out there, and it's Thanksgiving soon.

Just think of the turkeys you leave behind when you don't have to work anymore! And I mean that in the nicest way...
