In Memory Of.....

I know that many of you have already heard of the sudden death of Tim Russert of NBC News and "Meet the Press". I was always interested in what Tim had to say. He seemed to enjoy his job, and was one of the few that didn't have an ego. NBC is doing a good job of paying tribute to him. I can't think of anyone out there that can take his place.

Not much happened today. I dressed a little more casual than I should have, but the woman executive complimented me on my Lilly sweater. It made me feel good. I am so glad that tomorrow is Friday. Tomorrow I need to finish packing up all the old subpoenas. They are supposed to be shipped next Friday. After that I don't have to worry about the subpoenas anymore. Tomorrow is my last day to have to order appraisals. (YAY!) After Tuesday, most of my duties and responsibilities will disappear. I hope that I will get new duties so that I'm not bored. I may need a few days to rest after this week and next week.

I hope everyone has a good weekend.

You are not going to believe Queenie's outfit today.

black skirt with chiffon overlay hiked up 3 inches higher in the back than in the front and a black scoop neck top that showed way too much cleavage (about 3-4 inches), when she walked her breasts swayed and jiggled. She's taller than me, and when she would stand and talk to me, all I could see were her breasts. I was embarrassed for her.

What's so bad, she had been assigned the task to go to the hangar and pick up some executives from the home office. Our floor was swarming with executives today.

At least I was dressed conservatively. I even wore panty hose. Yes, I could remember how to put them on...and they were not dry rotted.

Tonight I came home and watched "Mona Lisa Smile". I just love all the clothes in that movie. I know the movie is set in 1953-1954, but I say some Pendleton circa 2003 in there. One of the characters is wearing a 49er jacket just like one I bought a few years ago.

This morning I was thinking. In the movie "Legally Blonde", Warner Huntington, III talks about being descended from several senators and a brother at Yale Law who just got engaged to a Vanderbilt. His grandmother was in town from Newport. He wants a Jackie, not a Marilyn. Well, if he's so east coast, what is he doing going to CULA on the west coast? Why didn't he go to an Ivy League school? I think he is cheesy in his grey suit, black shirt, greased hair and aviators at night. Oh, and he keeps smacking that gum. I guess it's just part of the story. No one probably noticed that but me.

WARNING

A friend of the family that owns a Chevron distributership said today that gasoline in going up 15% this week. Everybody may want to fill up your tanks as soon as you can. The Chevron by me went up $0.10 a gallon today. I thought I would share.

Today, I had my work caught up by 10:30. I got a lot done in that little of time. There is going to be a luncheon in the board room Wednesday. Today I went up there to tell the computer people about it so that they will be a little quieter. When I told the guy, he was panic stricken. Then he led me to the hallway and told me to look. There were boxes stacked floor to ceiling baracading the door. Plan B - I will have to go up there and direct the guests through the auditorium lobby, through the bathroom area to the board room. The caterers are going to have to do the best they can. There is no way that those boxes will be moved by Wednesday. As a matter of fact, I think it will be worse. At least these are not outside people and they will understand what is going on. Only 10 more days until our bank conversion. I am nervous, but in a way I will be glad when it's over.

Last night on WGN-Chicago, they were showing reruns of Newhart. Remember Leslie, the first maid and how preppy she was? I had forgotten about her until I saw the first episode.

Tonight is the season finale of Greek. This season didn't last very long.
