Which one is this KC?

That's Garf. He and his brother (Smudgy) & sister (Cricket) were abandoned in our garage by their feral mother. We raised them from about 4 weeks old. We already had three adults, two of whom were 17 & 16 at the time. We couldn't bear to give the kids up, but we figured we'd only have 6 for a short while. Jez & Khannie both surprised us by living to within a week or two of their respective 20th birthdays. Six cats is more than I would recommend, especially when all six thought they should sleep on the bed in the winter. :)
 
I don't trust no boil lasagna noodles. I must have trust issues. I also think women sending boob shots are desperate.

I've tried them both ways, and for lasagna, I think they come out softer than the no bake. Especially if there were edges I didn't get all covered in meat sauce.
 
In general, I hate the whole formalized process of reviews, but understand what they're for, so I put as little effort into them as possible, with the exception of this one where I wanted to put down that one 'flop it down on the desk' paragraph. But I've had managers when I had a new role that wouldn't say anything about my weaknesses, even though I knew I had them, and I always thought...you know I don't trust anything you say because you won't be honest with me. I mean, I realize what reviews are for, especially in a large organization, so even if you don't want to list them in recorded form, at least talk to them. This one is easier because we have a long relationship and he did list a few things to improve upon (that are strictly related to my short-ish time in this present role), but more than that, I know where I stand with him because of the things he tells me that are not normal for that interaction.

So, young'uns...if your boss tells you secrets...you're in good, no matter what your review says.
Completely agree. My reviews are great every year and I do focus on improving on anything brought up on previous year's review (trust me, the bosses notice when you do and also appreciate when you discuss and are receptive to their feedback). My boss tells me what's going on with everyone around me and I can always go to him for any info I need about anyone who got fired, quit, is on disciplinary action, etc. I've been there 8 years and they rely on me for successfully launching new clients, mentor new project/account managers, and handle the difficult clients.

I know, I know, it all sounds great. However, the job can be pretty stressful at times and some clients are extremely difficult to deal with. I still love the job, so will probably stay at it a few more years. I will have to say though, having a good boss that trusts you and doesn't micro-manage you goes a long way.
 
Bachelor Party at the Lake of the Ozarks in August. What could go wrong?


Will never forget a billboard we saw on the way down....well, won't forget the general idea...it was something like "what do X number of Missourians have in common..." and then like the herp, or genital warts or something...enough to put a whoa on anything anyone had in mind.
 
My son saw Jay Crowder from the Boston Celtics and said he looked like the guy from the Cyclones (McKay), I'm assuming because of the dreads. Should I feel proud of him for remembering a Cyclone player, or be concerned that he is a 7-year old racist?

:twitcy:
 
Made a salad to go with a grilled steak. Gave the balsamic vinaigrette a good shake. Cap was loose. Seasoned the counter, cutting board, cabinets, oak floor and myself.
