If my day moved any slower the clock would go backwards and rigor mortis would set in. My mind would turn to mush and my skull would cave in. I lost count of the holes in the ceiling tile countless times but my pencils all are sharp. My desk has been straightened out more than a time or two. And all the times I’ve spent twiddling my thumbs is just between me and you. There is only so much filing, powdering your nose and busy work one can do, before people start to talk and next thing you know they are profiling. Not all days are slow, but this one is killing me. Wish I had a back log or a little left over from yesterday to keep me busy for at least an hour or so. But the clock is going backwards and I’m starting to get stiff. It must be the rigor mortis beginning to set in. My thoughts are getting soft and running all together. My skull feels very thin. It isn’t even noon yet. Some days I just can’t win. LGR©11/3/15 |

This makes me feel lucky Miss Lori. Clockwise never did. 88's past noon. She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

Oh boy, I hate those kinds of days too, then you'll probably walk in tomorrow and have more work than you can handle. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Hey guys! I just killed some time going back in the archives and tracking down Eusta B. Mae and the Driftwood series. I highly recommend it!  ~L |

Eusta B. Mae takes it to the limit and a smidgen more . . . And "Driftwood," is stone classic Lori Grosser Rhoden . . . ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Thanks JP2! Wish I would have numbered them better at the time. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I started. ~L |

When did I become JP2? That's a new one. Maybe you've always called me that and I just never noticed. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

JP4 is high octane jet fuel. ...JP2 on the other hand. She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

duhknow, I may have used it once before... in reference to you...or seen it somewhere before...is it offensive? Not meant to be, I'm just keeping the typing simple. ~L  |

I didn't know this wasn't a party line JerryPat. I'll click the receiver next time. She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |
