Cold Panic...

One of our facilities was selected for a random wall-to-wall by Cal/OSHA earlier this week (lucky us!), and the inspector gave us quite the laundry list of documents he wants to see. One of the many things my manager asked me to pull together was the Forms 300 and 300A, current year and previous four years.

I pulled out our trusty Form 300 binder, which goes clear back to 1987, and I DIDN'T HAVE 2004 or 2005 for that facility. So, of course, I went through the binder over and over and over, page by page by page, hoping they'd just been misfiled. Then I started going through every piece of paper in my office, all the while thinking "ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod..." And I kept waking up last night with the same thing running through my head, over and over and over.

Finally, this morning, I turned to my manager and said, "We may have a problem. I can't find 2004 or 2005." And he says...

"Oh, yeah! Glenn was taking care of those, then. They should have them over there."

Jeez Louis. I think I just aged about 10 years in the past two days.

Why is it...

...dogs act like they're being beaten when we give them baths?

Poor Lucy had her first bath of the season today. She crouched down on her belly and looked terriby abused!

I took her on a walk immediately following, so I am forgiven!

Big Changes at Lincoln El

There's major construction at Lincoln El. I expect those of you who went to school there won't recognize much of it next time you visit.

Take me out to the ball game...

Our insurance folks took us to a River Cats game. They've got a suite! It's totally the best way ever to watch a baseball game. We had an air-conditioned room full of food and drinks, then were able to go out on our own private (shaded!) balcony to watch the game.

And the icing on the cake?: the River Cats beat Salt Lake City, 7 to 4.

Slots of fun!

For the first time in a long, long time, the slot machines were friendly to me! I actually left Reno with more money than I arrived with. Of course, we all do realize that ultimately ... The House Always Wins!

I think I might brave a Blackjack table next time. A very low limit one.

Most of the table games are a complete mystery to me.





We had dinner Friday evening at Louis' Basque Corner. It was delicious and delightful, and I highly recommend it!

Saturday night we had dinner at Sterling's and enjoyed it so much, we returned on Sunday for their Mothers' Day brunch.

Also saw FloorPlay on Saturday night. If you like watching ballroom dancing and enjoy performances with inhumanly crazy levels of energy, you'll love it, too!
