I mean, why is Thursday the only "T" day that usually gets all of the thanks?  At least it's not Monday, right?

Susan-boy, I've been in some boring meetings but a meeting with a chair, even a department one must be a bit one sided.  At least if it were a coffee table there would be some caffeine to keep things going. LOL

Damaris-Asthma must really suck.  Working on her own has her missing professional type of networking.  She's active socially but that doesn't give her work related ideas and sitting in a coffee shop doesn't help since she has to be working then.  When she was here in Detroit she was close to doing some "pop up" restaurant type of work with a couple of others but she realizes that there isn't really the market in Miami for that.  Detroit really is an entrepreneurial incubator and a bit on a frenzy of supporting/trying new things.  Not the same market there.  Plus the account she manages is fairly limiting for her.  You probably know way better than me how regulated casinos are. And hers aren't especially high class/nice ones.  LOL  Still she is loving it. Been busy training her boyfriend's 9 month old Boxer.  She has been appreciative of having a 85 pound dog with her at times.

Off to run on -yuck- roads around my house. Have a good day ladies!

Good Morning - 3 TM for me.  Will plan on a short after-work run, as well.

Lisa - Yes, very glad it is NOT Monday

Hi Carol - ugh on the computer issues, we got a new computer program at work this summer, it stinks.  It's either not working or in need of updates constantly.  Blech.  Stability ball class sounds fun!

Checking in from work in a ghost town, er, DC on a federal holiday. The commute was awfully easy with hardly anyone else doing it, but holy crap, a lot of people work for the federal government! There is some huge free concert going on tonight on the Mall, so I just put on the work calendar that I'm leaving early to get the heck out of dodge. An added bonus is that I will be able to run while it's still light out. Probably around 5 miles.

Lisa, that must be challenging for your DD. I worry about the same thing when I move, but will at least have my once a month trips back for networking - I plan on scheduling them the same times as the Certification Network Group meetings, for example. So much of both my industry and my part in the industry are DC based.

I am also thankful that it's not Monday. Does anyone here get the day off, or is that just almost everyone in Washington? Geez, I didn't bring my lunch today, I hope the restaurants are open!

Count me among the federal employees who are not working today, for which I am thankful.  Since we're being thankful today, I'll also say thanks to all the veterans out there for their service.   Also thankful that my DH is home this week, and we are going for a run soon.  Then some chores and shopping, which didn't get done over the weekend.

Lisa, is yucky weather making the roads yucky?  I heard about the latest polar vortex.

Carol, electronic ANYTHING is a great idea until the system goes down.  Hope today is better.

Hi LC.  Enjoy the TM, if possible.

Hi Judy.  Nice workout as always.

Karen, at least commuting should be easier if no one else is working.  Hope you found somewhere open for lunch.

Hi Damaris.  Saw that you did a HM on Sunday... how's the asthma now?

Waves to everyone else!

Hi ladies-

I'm jumping in to post even though I haven't had a chance to read the thread yet. No run for me today - the boys are out of school for Veterans Day, and DH is off work, so we're going to go out for a little hike after lunch. The weather is beautiful, and we want to take advantage of it since a cold front is supposed to hit on Thursday.

My marathon is Saturday! I'm both excited and nervous. My Garmin chose now to die on me - my RB suggested that perhaps God was speaking to me - but I dug out the old one and charged it, and it seems to be working fine. I'm trying to decide what to wear - it's supposed to be 30* at the start. I'm thinking capri tights, SS shirt, and LS throwaway shirt over that. Gloves and headband. Any advice/suggestions are appreciated.

Gotta go - I need to return a couple of work emails before lunch. Have a great day-

Cut back week so rest day. Just got back from meetings. Tomorrow will be all day too.

HR director replied to a publisher regarding candidates that had been referred for a position.  "We will be screening all candidates." With screening being changed to screwing.  Publisher thanked us for our thoroughness but that wouldn't be necessary.

I like when definitely is changed to defiantly in emails.
