And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

fun fact: the field guys used to mess around with the thermostat settings instead of closing the bay doors so my boss has all the thermostats in the office covered with lock boxes which only he has the key to.


...and he generally doesn't show up until about 20minutes before I leave for the day...

I got a nice tan this week grin Noticed several people walking around with some rather nasty sunburns too. Won't last though, pretty sure the snow clouds heard us celebrating as it is starting to look pretty bleh out there.

It's been beautiful here for months, then we got snow both last Sunday and today. Go figure. I was ready to start hanging out in the back yard and getting some sun.

So, basically what you're saying is that @whoever is your boss?

I've heard it called Beanie by Americans, they consider skull cap something different.

Toque's such a cool word. Everyone should use it.

I always associated beanies as the looser fitting versions.. often with a fluff ball on top.

I just realized how obsessed people are with creating new names for hats.

We would call that a beanie in the UK. Or just a wooly hat.

Hey Norm, you hear about the studies being done at Johns Hopkins about the Y chromosome of persistent bar troublemakers?
Yeah, they found a striking similarity between that and chronic droolers and idiots.
