7:00 AM In Boston

-

Back in May and June, the sun was up at 5:15 as I left my house to drive to work. This is a more challenging time of year - driving east as the sun is coming over the horizon and driving west as the sun is going down.

The sun came up at 6:30 today in Boston, and was starting to spread across Government Center as I was walking from the parking garage to my building. This is a picture of Faneuil Hall, which was built in 1742.

Yes, this is a rather boring post. But I'm tired. Hey, at least I posted a pic.

Hey Ms. Creek - I work in Boston as an IT consultant. The commute is a bit of a drag but I love the job. Thanks for the nice comment!

Thanks Sassy! Yes, the commute is a bit of a drag but I work with some great people. Wondering how long I can keep up the drive.

Hey OC - Thank you! I'll have to try some more early morning Boston shots next week.

Hello Rubye Jean - Yes, that is a wondeful old building. Lots of history there. The sun is a bit of a drag - you need good sunglasses for this commute!

Hey Tina! I almost fell asleep on the post and the pic! Too long a day.

Hey Chewy! Thank you very much. I think I got lucky on this one. I appreciate the nice feedback.

Thanks Shrinky! That's sweet of you. Yes, I'm finding that getting up at 4:00 AM is starting to kick me in the butt big time.

Paper Strips. I Don't.

You know what's a pain in the ass? Shredding bills and bank statements.  It's time consuming, it's messy, and one box of paper creates three trash bags full of 1.5 inch X .3 inch paper strips. I want my bills to now be sent on cheese. That way when I shred them, I can at least at do something with the by-product. Put it on a sandwich, throw it on some pasta, toss it on top of some corn chips - all of which is better than trying to shove 20 pounds of paper into a trash bag meant to hold no more than 10 pounds. Great nachos CJ! Why thank you. That's my electric bill you are eating. I shred everything. Cable bill? Shred that bad boy. Don't need anyone seeing what extras I rented (don't judge!). Phone bills? What if someone finds my itemized statement and starts crank calling my relatives? Shred it too! Retirement statements? No one has to know I need to work for another 70 years. Shred, shred, shred! Amazon receipts? Ohhhh no. None of your bees wax. Yes, I

Embarrassing Work Moment # 94

I peed on my pants leg today at work. I'm a squatter. I know sitting on a public toilet will probably not bring me irreparable harm, but it just skeeves me to no end. Hovering can be tricky business however - one rogue stream as I had today and you've got yourself a pair of pee pee pants. Luckily this happened at the end of the day. It did prolong my day however, as I wanted to sit at my desk for a bit, hoping the spot would fade prior to my leaving the building. And, as it turns out, it was a particularly crowded day on the campus, with students moving in for the fall semester. Hopefully no one noticed as I quickly walked behind the buildings to the parking lot, glancing behind and down as I walked to make sure the offending spot was not standing out too much. Maybe I should keep a spare pair of pants in my office from now on.
