treeskinThird tank filling for the day. Joy. It's humid and hazy today, so watering myself along with the trees does nothing towards cooling me off.
Had to rescue the boss this morning, because he didn't know how to prune yews, and his supervisor was getting pissy about the shrubbery outside the main office. *snark* Predictably, I did most of the pruning. This is another of the areas Nemesis has let go, because the VP doesn't walk through that part of campus. Bastard.
The main item of note during the staff meeting today was the announcement that overtime was authorized for next week, so we can get caught up on inner campus beds. Not bloody likely I have too many interesting things (and people) to do on my weekends, and they don't pay me enough to be in here for FIVE days a week. 40 hrs and 4 days is plenty. And we (the collective "we" of the ground staff) told New Boss that. He told us he'd relayed that to his supervisor, that overtime was not the golden reward that said supervisor thought it was. Nice to know that New Boss isn't completely clueless. I doubt they're try to make ti mandatory overtime; the college doesn't go in for that.
On the up side, I've managed to design and start another set of aran sandal sox for myself, using the Rohan cable for the front "main" cable. Got 3 1/2" done. Go me!
