I Didn’t Post

Oh, I intended to.  

Post, I mean.  Yesterday... but when I sat down at my computer, I realized all I was going to do was gripe about how bad it's gotten out at work.  I didn't want to put you through that, so I just went outside and sat in my chair in the cool of the evening.  

Until the mosquitoes found me and began snacking on me, that is.  Then I came inside and watched an episode of JAG, and went to bed.  And I dreamed about Admiral Chegwidden.  I guess that means I watch too much...

By the way, guess what I'm doing now...what I'm watching, rather....

So, anyway, I was sitting there in my chair and I realized, dadgum I've got a lot of wild garlic in my back yard.  

That's what all of that stuff is, and it occurred to me I probably ought to do something about it.   The only problem is, anything that might kill the garlic will also kill the stuff I want to keep -- the deadnettle, Hen bit, clover and the like.  So, there is only one thing to do.  

Dig it all up by hand.  Sigh...And right after work today, that's exactly what I started doing.  I planted a couple more rows of daffodil bulbs, then dug up a couple of clumps of the garlic.  It's going to take a while, and I may never get it all completely removed, but it's a start.  

In other news, weird stuff is going on at work, and I'm not talking about how horrible it's getting out there.  That's another post for another day.  Let me just say, when your turnover rate among new hires is in the 75-80% range, you've got serious problems.  No, this is something completely different.  

See, I was going around to the dispatcher's desk the other day to get a scrap ticket, only he was on the phone at the time.  I stood there patiently until he got off,  then he told me what the problem he was having was.  And that was that the schedule in the computer didn't match the printed one he had, and he didn't know what orders to release to the operators.  

He'd called the people up front, only they'd told him they hadn't changed anything. Apparently, there was a glitch and the computer was moving stuff around all by itself...

And all I could hear was 

And finally, it doesn't look like any more of my little seeds I planted are going to germinate, so sometime soon, I'm going to transfer them to slightly larger pots, then use my new pods to start some of those sunflower seeds I found. 

Or, I may buy some...and we'll just have to see how that goes.
