KrissiK Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Good Morning!!!!! COFFEEEE!!!!~D Humph Day!!! School and work. More family meetings this afternoon. Slashie, I have a squeaky kid, too. I love squeakers. She did it as a baby, and actually hasn’t grown out of it. It is still very involuntarily and quite sweet. Bookie, I do think you are right about Zoom meetings. Plus, it’s got a brief lag time and sometimes the Internet gets wonky. Yesterday I got video and no audio for a parent, so she called me on her cell for audio, but for some reason my cell phone doesn’t work in my office, so I had to carry my laptop and my Cell phone into my bedroom and was sitting in the bathroom with my phone On speaker and laptop on the countertop having this meeting. The meeting went great, but still, a little weird. Bagels, I hope no broken bones. Happy Nirthday Paradox. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Auditor logged out of our call due to computer issues, and has not logged back in.

Wheres Toto Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Morning. It's a rainy, icky day here. Just the steady gloomy kind of day. I feel tired and blah and like my allergy meds aren't working. Dh stayed home from work because he wasn't feeling well. I cancelled my algebra tutoring today. Kids and I were going to go to a homeschool recess but not doing that either. My kids are not fans of hanging out in the rain. They aren't big fans of outside, don't ride bikes or skate or do much with ball games so I was going to have them bring some board/card/dice games. Which clearly doesn't work in the rain. So a lazy, gloomy day at home. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 The glass broke. It did not shatter/splinter into tiny pieces. Pass. Safety Glazing saves lives. Me, normally: Yes, but was the training of the technician properly documented? Was the datasheet filled out properly at the time of test? Was the equipment calibrated and traceable to NIST? Where’s your mask? PPE? What’s the temperature in the lab? Are you using the most current version of the test standard?

Critterfixer Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Happy Nirthday, Paradox. Hoping for no broken bagels. Rain is amazing. It's raining everywhere today. Even here. Got a ton of reading and writing to do today. I've taken to reading anywhere from 4 to 8 books at a time, in addition to reading my own work and Beta reads for others. It's awesome because it's a brain workout keeping track of each story, but also because I develop an appreciation for what holds my interest and makes me want to open the book the next day and which ones make me yawn. I also have short stories and a novel to start work on again today. And art. So much to do. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Beautiful, Critter! Servie, I am the same way - 1 book at a time. If I start another book, I will inevitably drop the first one and never get back to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I am usually in the middle of at least 4 or 5 books. I have been working through Les Mis since Christmas. I'm reading through a book of Japanese short stories. I used to keep a book in my purse. (Now I don't need to because I don't go anywhere.) I'm currently reading The House of Seven Gables. When I finish this I will choose another classic to take it's place. I usually am reading a book in Spanish. I finished one last week and haven't started the next yet. I've been reading through Newbery books, so I usually have one of those going, too. And I usually have a Christian book (devotional, biography) that I'm reading through. I *can't* just read one book at a time because my reading is very much affected by my mood or concentration level. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
