What a lovely morning. Sometime over the weekend, someone gained access to our company Facebook page and deleted the entire thing after removing all the admins. Our IT people are "on it" but I am not hopeful.
Ugh.
Need MUCH more coffee today.
#GoodMorning (sorta)
#CaffeineClub
Before there was cubism, there was coffee. And all was good with the world. ☕
Had to take some allergy meds this morning so I'm feeling a bit spaced out.
I just *love* spring weather...
So my isolation from nearly all daily contact with other people since I started working from home three months ago hasn't affected me at all. Nope, not one bit. In fact, me and my imaginary family are having a wonderful morning.
Sleepy dark morning
Must face another Tuesday
Where is the coffee?
Trying to embrace the day, even though it's a Monday.
Yeah, I'm having a bit of trouble carpeing that old diem...
Having difficulty getting the old body into gear this morning. The machinery seems a bit creaky and in need of some oiling. And coffee, of course.
So it's 5 o'clock... time for some Crown & Coffee.
#CaffeineClub (evening edition)
It was an early morning yesterday
I was up before the dawn
And I really have enjoyed my stay
But I must be moving on ... to more coffee
😎 ☕ 🌅
Waking up to the (hopefully) last cold snap of the Spring -- it's 38 degrees here in Tennessee -- and wondering if there is anything I could consume to help warm me up.
Something dark. And hot. And with a bit of a "wake-me-up" kick.
Hmm... there's gotta be something.
I've been working with a large software company in helping to test their AI image generation software, and I think it's got a pretty good handle on what I look like (or at least, what I looked like thirty years ago). 😎 😁
Up before the dawn
Rain falls lightly on my window
When will the sun rise?
Coffee must be hot
Sweet to the taste on the tongue
With a touch of cream
The hits just keep on coming this week. Our CMS people decided it was time for a "mandatory" system upgrade to our website and promised it would like "nearly identical" to what we had.
It does not. Not even remotely.
So guess who has to redesign and fix everything they screwed up with their "improvements"?
I'll be busy for a while...
Today is the day
To celebrate the haiku
And to have some fun
Having a lovely morning. I've already had to wake up our station engineer, our general manger, and the other traffic reporter out of bed and into the station.
Why? Because someone in IT decided to "update" the network settings and now no one can access them remotely.
I work from home.
You can the problem here.
At least I have coffee
I've been at work for an hour and have already finished all my tasks for the day. Is it too soon for day drinking?
Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head. Found my way downstairs and drank a cup. Looking up, I noticed I was late.
