Starting another week at the bottom of the well of Not Enough Sleep. Argh.
New Boss is trying to be the responsible manager type this week (I think it's a punishment detail). I heard that he came in Mon and Tues and spent the days supervising Problem Part-time Guy. (And wish him much joy in it, the rest of us have given up.) Courtney says PPTG was pissed, and talking about going up to Maintenance Superviser, or even HR, and demanding they change his hours to days when New Boss isn't working. Not bloody likely, considering that they're actively trying to find a reason to fire him. And that's a thought that does brighten my day a bit.
Had two hard frosts over the weekend, which sucks, because I lost whatever iris were already blooming, and most of the buds that were going to bloom in the next week or so. *sigh* I figure the late frost/early iris season combo will cut the show down by about a third this year.
Did manage to get a little spraying done yesterday, despite the wind, so I can turn a few more square feet of yard into beds. One chunk, by the mint bed, already has plants waiting...frostbitten plants, but still alive. And I zapped a bit of poison ivy in the front yard, and the small trees coming up against the foundation at the south end of the house, and the small trees coming up under the deck. Still have a gallon of spray to use, tonight if the weather cooperates.
Earth Day out at camp was fun, even if little went as planned. Forgot my outline, so my "talk" was more conversation than talk. No one seemed to mind too much, though. They dragooned attendees into helping spread the sand around the ritual circle, and dig the trench for the drain tile, so that's completely done. The sand seemed to hold a fire nicely, too...Ashe did a small fire for us on Sat night, which was very welcome in the cold. Sunday's HSA meeting was surprisingly productive, considering all the crap that's been on the list lately.
