Today was employee appreciation day.  Someone had the brilliant idea of grilling hamburgers on the bottom floor of the parking deck.  Unfortunately the weather and wind made all the smoke go into the deck.  It was so smoky when I first walked in it was like being in a fog.  The smell is now all over my clothes and hair and I didn't even stay there to eat my free burger.   We got t-shirts as well and a coupon booklet.  They keep experimenting with this employee appreciation day.  Whatever they do, someone complains. 
 
I'm complaining this time.  I always feel sympathy for those who plan such events, however.  There was a band and everything, and there were supposed to be games.  Otherwise, not much is new.  Work has been incredibly slow and I've just broken down and at times briefed cases.  I get sick of the internet after awhile, unless something new catches my attention, like the Scotland stuff.  Yesterday I surfed recipes, but there were so many, even if I tried a new recipe a week--there were 1000s to choose from and I would get to sample very few.  I just had the idea while typing though of trying to do a tofu dish in the crockpot.  I like tofu with tomatoes and green peppers and onions.  I hope it would not come out like a soup though.  Well, I know you're busy.  These slow work days are harder to get through than the busier ones, they just drag and drag.  Elizabeth
