Where's Chet and his jalopy?
I was going to write some work stuff here, but I'm not really that interested. And, I suspect, neither are you. So I'll make it short:
Grumpy Old Lady (who's been at the site for a few weeks but only on weekends) is gone. This will have minimal impact since I haven't given you any stories about her, but I'll remedy that in a paragraph's time. I worked all weekend due to a planned power shutdown in the building, and let me say that when the air movers are shut off, half an hour later yours truly is dripping wet from the stagnant warm air. Yeesh.
I won't get into the prior conversations that led to this point, but let me just mention now that when someone makes a deductive leap that's less than impressive ("She probably put the juice in the fridge to make it cooler!" ), I often reply with "Good work there, Nancy Drew." I say that a lot at work. Here's a note that was left for me on Grumpy Old Lady's last work day, taped to a whiteboard full of more of the same (spelling, grammar, and capitals preserved):
Nancy Notes:
Sun 11, June 2006
Re: The second Floor Ghost:
While the name of the spookey specter is still unknown I have labled him as Karl or Carlos. Contact was made with the elusive spirit last week and the spook was advised to move on. The usual haunt for Carlos is by the cubical of (employee named removed - sorry) though not restricted to that area. The spook has not been "seen" or scencd since the Sunday prior to this.
Re: The missing Key:
The small silver drawer key noted missing on Sat. 10 of June (by night security) has not been found and the location of it remains under investigation by the very capable Frank and Joe Hardy. (Which is what I called myself on the whiteboard when I first started replying to her messages)
Nancy Comments:
Nancy pushes onward to get another destination filled with intrigue.
It is her wish that should she meet up with her Co-Conspirtor that they may have the fun of unravelling another mystrey.
Regards.
Nancy Drew.

Grumpy Old Lady
I found her a bit irritating myself, but the rest of my staff absolutely hated her. So did the bike patrol guys, the carpet cleaners, the window washers, my Field Manager, a couple of people in Ops, some people on the site, etc...
Still, she at least did the bulk of the patrols. Meh.
Check out this bird!
