End of Christmas
penbleth:
Do I take it America doesn’t have the tradition of making sure all Christmas decorations are removed by 12th night, the 5th of January?
I ask in sure and certain knowledge I will make this deadline as I didn’t put up any decorations in the first place.
What a Scrooge.
My mom always said it was bad luck to leave your tree up past January 1. We apparently did not fear bad luck,...
I've been avoiding it because I suck at Scrabble...

The Question That I Forgot
Just realized I never answered this one:
Are you in rut?
No, I’m in Oklahoma. Scenery’s about the same, though.
But really, I don’t think it’s possible to be in a rut with an almost toddler running around your house. Seriously, this kid is like the Borg — every time I think I’ve figured out how to handle him, he adapts.

FormSpring Question
If you were a goat, what kind of goat would you be?
I don’t understand the question. Clearly I am a goat. Have you not been paying attention? Honestly, is anybody screening these submissions?
Ok, ok. I’ve always been particularly fond of the goats that climb trees. It’s not a particular breed of goat, I don’t think. It’s just that, in the absence of mountains,...
Who, me?

Excerpts from an otherwise glowing performance evaluation:
“… I’d like to see Rommie take a more positive attitude.”
“As a newsroom leader, Rommie needs to stay upbeat and find ways to make positive change happen.”
“Everybody likes and respects Rommie … but he is perceived by many to be extremely negative, and it’s bad for the morale of the team.”
Seriously, I try really hard to be...

So of course we need FormSpring forms now. Of course.
Fine, here’s mine. Hit me.
