Procrastinating/Move

Whew. I'm at work, it's the last day to pack before we move back to my favorite building. I'm listening to Neko Case & Her Boyfriends, the track is No Need to Cry from Furnace Room Lullaby. It's been hectic at work, nothing new there. We're all glad to move - I'll be across from a conference room & have promised to give the stink eye to anyone who meets there. You know, just for fun.

We recently had a "guac" off. Our production folks all brought in guacamole & we voted on which was best. This was very well received & so next comes a "salsa" off & "margarita" off. We've got a beer & chips thing coming up, so I'm encouraging folks to merge the two for maximum morale lift...

One more work item - one of the women who works for me is collecting feedback for our site. There are some gems. Here are a few:

Part of my job is making sure the American Flag is being flown right. I have one big problem with that. I don't know when the Flag should be lowered and when it should be raised. I watch all the flags around town but they too are having the same problem by the looks of things. Is it possible to have one little spot on your Home Page that shows the status of the Flag each day?

i love policies

Dear Sir I request you to mention a site like our fishing site on your home page for sharing in revenue, this will bring in new additional revenue for your site and be a good partnership for publisher like this. For this we are happy to work with your company for better transparency and income in regards to this alliance, if you were to agree. We would be happy to review your proposal, that would benifit each partner. Thanks and best regards, Z Effendi *EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED*

I will not under circumstance provide my birthdate on the internet. The next thing I know you will be asking for my social security number. Are you nuts?

(Please forward this email to Management) Gentlemen: As I am a Christian man, I am putting forth an effort to establish/build a non-profit Christian radio station in my area. I am also seeking financial assistance for this purpose. Your help would include finances for the studio(s), transmitter, tower, surveys for tower locations along with applications, etc. In exchange for your help, you will receive PERMANENT commercials for as long as the station exists, and your commercials would be ABSOLUTELY FREE just for financing the station. If this is of interest to you, I would be more than happy to hear from you. If you wish to have information from me to conduct a background check (to ensure that this is not a hoax), please feel free to ask me anything. I look forward hearing from you. Thank you

    In my sleepy state I mis-read this and thought that, in addition to moving to quarters adjacent to a conference room, you are now responsible for raising/lowering the flag outside your company's HQ.

    That confusion aside, it would be interesting if newspapers published a flag-status graphic next to the weather on the front page. "71, Sunny and Full-Staff for the Quad Cities!"
