I started a temporary work assignment this week with a dysfunctional office. Our region has two organizations that cover different geographical areas. North and South. I used to work with South many years ago and when I worked there I didn't realize just how dysfunctional they were, until they banished our little office to the North org. Now the South office is in need of assistance and has asked for me. Interesting. I was in a meeting with the people from South Org and it's just SSDD with them. Same old stupid management in different jobs saying the same old stupid things.

Fortunately I start 2 weeks of vacation next week, I warned everybody that I had this scheduled, but nobody listened.

I'm just making a list of what I want to accomplish on this 3 month temporary assignment and let it go at that. In addition to all this I'm still doing my regular duty assignments, this should be fun. I'm pretty good at multi-tasking but this should be quite a ride through the holidays.

I colored my hair last night - I don't do this very often. I usually just let the gray grow out - it seems to salt and pepper a little on my right temple a lot and it blows over to the left from there. French Roast Loreal #45 I think it is. I also need a trim.

MPH is out traveling to those remote exotic destinations. Hopefully he'll be back before I leave. The island he went to this time only has 2 flights a week, if he doesn't make it back on Thursdays flight - he won't be back until Sunday. He didn't call on Sunday after he got there and he didn't call last night - so I called him. I guess he's been working late trying to get things going so he can try to get back on the Thursday flight. All the planets have to be in alignment for this I guess. A lot of things go wrong when he gets to different places and people call him once they find out somebody is there.

Halloween is coming up and I bought one big bag of candy, and one small bag of York Peppermint Patties. I opened the little YPP. I can have one or two of those without causing grievous harm to my diet.

I had somebody flirt with me last week and I was clueless I didn't know how to flirt back - it's been so long. He was a cutie too. I hate that. Not that it would have went anywhere, it's just a shame to waste a perfectly good flirting experience. I now intend to flirt more and more whenever possible too. I'm usually too blunt to be able to flirt very well though. I would like to think that I'm not pretentious enough to flirt either. Maybe I just don't know how. It's been a long time.

I can remember some good ones a few years ago, it's been more than 3 years. I like to tease people a lot - does that count? Do people get too old to flirt? I've seen some older women make fools out of themselves flirting with men. Remembering those pictures doesn't encourage me.

I'm getting ready to go to Las Vegas maybe I can work on my flirting skills there? You know the building I work in has a women to men ratio of at least 1:10, so I already have a perfect environment for flirting and I get paid to be there. As they say around here though . . . the odds are good, but the goods are odd.
