Got back before any kind of weather got here (getting rain now in Florence--supposed to become a wintry mix later).  No one showed for spin so back in the apartment.

So the work clothes thing is kind of set for me now (will circle back).  During my civilian jobs, I could wear jeans (no holes of course) along with a polo shirt (usually with a company logo).  <circling back> for years the full time reservists could wear civilian clothes during the week (not in military status).  Over the last 15 years, as local contracts expired, wearing the uniform was written in as a requirement.  Since the government has to provide them (along with the appropriate boots--steel toe for us) I only partially understood the push back.  There are still quite a few long-term employees that resent that change.

Quick, I'm voting for the trail race....but I've never gone further than 50k.

RunnerKSA, LOL!  Never even thought of that....

So depending on who made the list I'm either the tail end of the baby boom or beginning of Gen-X.  I'll be ignoring the OK Boomer stuff.  Anyone demonstrating critical thinking skills will be permitted to offer suggestions/advice.

Have a greta night everyone!

THANK YOU, VETERANS!

No running, another 10+hr day moving and sorting and storing set materials and props. But now I'm ALL DONE with that!

The Ok Boomer thing is pretty funny right now but it will get real tired real fast. After being scorned, hated, criticised and ridiculed by the boomer generation out of ignorance for so long it was inevitable that millenials would eventually retaliate in a big way. As with every generation, it's nearly impossible to convince the older generations that things are DIFFERENT than when they were younger. Where I live, millenials are responsible for a small business renaissance, most new small businesses are being opened by people under 30. There is some article I saw that debunked all the myths about millennials that boomers spread.

But of course individual boomers and millennials will be outliers from the vicious generalities that form stereotypes. But what do I know, I'm GenX, I just sit on the side and watch everything burn to the ground.

I don't think I'm a Gen-X or a Boomer.  Or maybe I'm half one, half the other.  Who knows.

Bioguy - Your description of the clothes cracks me up.  That whole pants hanging to the ground has been going on years and years.  I hoped it would've fizzled out by now.

Tet - The problem is I work for this really great attorney who is NOT a litigation attorney, yet he feels compelled to take on trust litigations whenever they hit our door.  Unfortunately, I'm not a litigation paralegal and I struggle to pull it all together.  . . . . and the client's an idiot. 

Left work early since I went in at 7:30.  Hit the gym for 40 min of elliptical and 40 min of core/ST.  . .  . . . too much testosterone running the gym at that time of day.  I need to go back to my wee hours of the morning visits.

Tammy - Tammy and family had to say goodbye to sweet Annie today.  Truly one of the sweetest pups ever, who hit the jackpot when she was found by Tammy's Hub.  She had the best life possible the last 4 yrs and was truly happy.  Sweet Annie will be missed.

 

Erika - nothing wrong with two hours of excellent X-T shoveling snow on your own but not that easy to do during work days or otherwise when someone expects you to be somewhere else at a certain time doing something for them, instead. Did you boys used to do it? No snow-blower? However, I always thought more than an inch or two was pretty rare.

Nope, we have a snow blower. DH was running that and I was on clean up duty, and ended up doing a lot of the top of our driveway by the garage, and a trail on the deck from the door to the charcoal grill cuz I wanted chicken Sunday night! We got about 10" over the two days of that storm. The roads were a mess and our parking lot at work is still not done. Our boys used to shovel, but they did a bad enough job that it almost always ended in tears.

We have some student employees who wear some pretty questionable stuff. Since student employment is also supposed to be practice for them at the work life thing, you'd think more supervisors would mention it.

RCG, couldn't see your pictures and tried both on Chrome and Safari. How did you post them? I have terrible luck with posting photos now and so rarely even try.

{{Tammy and family}} sorry to hear about Annie, but you're right she had a wonderful last 4 years.

We had a pretty nice day here with temps in the low 20's. I got out for a run because the weather later this week is going to be pretty crummy, so figured I'd get a run in on a nice day. Well, it was pretty clear my legs didn't want to do it. Just couldn't get into it. I feel like I'm just making myself do these runs, not sure what's going on. But, I'm sure the transition to winter running is a large part of it. This too shall pass. 3.7 uninspired miles today.

 

(Every time I see or hear "OK Boomer" I think of the old "Boomers and Beyond" running forum.)

 

I've been called worse as well. Really kids..is that the best you can do?

Coastwalker Jay, 43⁰ sounds delightful.

 

And I am a hard core believer that leggings are NOT pants!  If you're going to wear leggings, you need to be wearing a top that goes down past your butt.

 

 

It depends on the butt.

Tet, this sounds like perfect weather.

Holly...Batman shoes are very professional.

RCG...I got nothin'.

Bioguy - I asked an interviewie (real word?) if they were just coming back from the beach.

Falcon Fixer..good call on the trail race.

I got all teary eyed when I read of Annie's passing.

I got 2.5 on the mill again.

Two of the grandkids and I were walking the trail in our yard last week. One of them found a pine burl broken from a branch. We decided it was a monster egg and GD#1 hung it from a tree.

I looks like it about to hatch.

It's time for me to change the world for the better! I'm opening up a charm school to help establish acceptable public behavior! Including dress code. ENROLL NOW!!!! Classes are expected to fill quickly!
