Rumors, gossip, innuendo and hearsay greet my arrival at work this morning. There have been significant sprucing-up efforts happening on campus over the past two weeks (painting lines, badge readers, patching curbs, mulching, etc.) Today, many new hydrangeas and rose-of-sharons have appeared on site, and the landscape service is replacing some of the dying trees lining the main road in the campus. Today, an article in the local newspaper hinting at the purchase of the site by Yale University for use as a research extension. I wouldn't mind working for Yale...
The day carries on, and I attend a new meeting (to cover for the injured and vacationing). E-mails from Corporate Communications warn us that we shouldn't be talking to the news reporters parked outside the gates on the site. Comical.
Home from work to a new grill which needs to be assembled. Our current grill, now nearly fifteen years old has finally given up the ghost (the bottom dropped out, and there's really nothing I can fix). Considering how much we use the grill (year-round, really) this is always a good investment for us. And, I'm paying the same amount today for the new grill (with super-cool new features) as I did for the slightly smaller older grill. The new beast is well packed and mostly assembled when it arrives, and what remains to be assembled appears to have been designed by someone who actually has put one of these together. We had the grill unpacked, assembled and cooking dinner in about an hour.
