9067 - Friday

[scottobear]

Well, we got plenty of ice... about a quarter-inch on the porch alone, to say nothing of the roads. Forget the salt and sand... send out a fleet of zambonis! Is the plural of zamboni zambonies? Zambonii?

Worked form home today, though there were moments of spotty internet access. I suspect that I got more accomplished at the house, given the lack of sidebar interruptions.

Federal agencies in the Washington, DC, area are OPEN under an UNSCHEDULED LEAVE policy.

This Means . . .

• Employees who cannot report for work may request unscheduled leave for their entire scheduled workday. Employees must notify their supervisors of their intent to take unscheduled leave.
• Emergency employees are expected to report for work on time.

After work was over, BHK made some yummy thai-style spicy/ sour soup - even more awesome than the stuffed peppers made earlier this week.

Larry's wonder-truck braved the ice and made it over to repair our kitchen light fixture and reap the rewards of Tivo by watching the train crash top gear!

Something good from W. Bush - on Friday, February 15, 2008, the President signed into law:

H.R. 3541, the "Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007," which prohibits the automatic removal of telephone numbers registered on the Federal "do-not-call" registry; and

S. 781, the "Do-Not-Call Registry Fee Extension Act of 2007," which extends permanently the authority of the Federal Trade Commission to charge fees to telemarketers required to access the Federal "do-not-call" registry and specifies the fees to be charged.

Both measures passed the House on a voice vote and cleared the Senate by unanimous consent.

"Austin recorded it's warmest February 25th on record Monday as the high temperature reached 92 degrees in the city and 89 degrees at ABIA."

Barely. But now chilly enough that I'm a happy girl, instead of cursing the heat. :0)
