The work-safe account of my day

treeskinWent to work, even though today should have been my day off for MLK day--I was supposed to be going to a meeting to work on the pre-bid package for the landscaping for the parking garage.
Found out at 9:30 this morning that the boss didn't think I needed to be there. Gee, thanks for the notice. I could have been at home, in bed with a blonde. I'm sorry, was that my inside voice speaking?
Moving on....
Ended up spending most of the morning working on the afore-mentioned pre-bid package, trying to come up with clear language describing exactly how I want the trees installed (not that I'm being petty, but it will make a huge difference in surviveability), both for the contractors, and for an explanation so my boss understands (I hope!!!) the import and actually puts the stuff in the package.
Spent the afternoon doing a tour of the tree trail for the sales lady at my favorite nursery--she wanted to visit the trees she's sold me the last couple of years. She seemed impressed overall, especially since she knows what I started with. Also had some good suggestions for some of the water-holding areas that are often too wet to mow (bald cypress and black alder, ooooooo, fun trees).
Came home, played with Pet, got him showered and fed and off to work on time, and now I'm enjoying the mellow part by myself, and listening to the cat snore. By's still at the HSA safety meeting; not sure when he'll be back.
Tomorrow will be indoor work, since it's supposed to be no more than 35 degrees for a high--I've been saving a researchish project for me and Courtney for just such an occasion. We're missing some of the ID signs from the tree trail, and the new boss wants to see more ID signs like those in inner campus, so Courtney and I are going to sit down with the list of trees we've generated, and get the stuff put together to send to the sign company. I plan to make it take a while.
Time to be off and in bed. Must be responsible and go to work tomorrow. Blech.
Good night all, and pleasant dreams.
