Chilly Thursday @ The MSC

Good morning peoples. It was a brisk 42 degrees when I woke up, it's a balmy 48 now. There's a frost warning for tonight and early tomorrow morning, the overnight low is supposed to be 33 degrees.
I think I'll go to Old Chicago for lunch, I haven't been there for about 2 weeks and pizza and beer sounds good.

Good morning, Larry.Trucks were wiping out on the snowy roads this AM. I'd like a road trip and get some different dining, but that won't happen today.

Good late morning guys!
Larry, based upon your weather sounds you're really IN Chicago!
We've currently going through the low 30's light snow thing....although off to the west side of the state about 1 1/2 hrs away they've got the lake effect snow & getting hit with anything from 6 inches to a foot but fortunately that's not our forecast. 1-3 inches by nightfall they say.
Think next week we may sniff 40's again.

I had the Nashville Hot Honey Pizza. It's a regular pizza with chunks of Nashville hot chicken, chopped pickles, green onions, ranch dressing and hot honey sauce. It's delicious.

The Buffalo Bills have a home game Sunday. They're supposed to have some lake effect snow, maybe 3-4 feet of it.

Now, I'm usually JUST sausage or pepperoni, but that sounds really good!!
Cold and snowy here. Denver area will have around 4" or so, but a little further north in the state will be like 8". Just glad we don't have that 'lake effect' here.
I swear - some people just do NOT have any common sense OR courtesy.

I walk off the elevators this morning, haven't even clocked in yet, and I get someone asking about changing their W4. I'm NOT the tax lady, you can get that on IRS.GOV. Next, I get some work done at my own desk before I have to wheel my chair to the front desk again - I barely have my chair rolled in place, and someone is asking me what the error message is on the 'phone' that keeps track of all the call light buttons. RIGHT above the phone is a laminated sign that says what to do if you see the error message.
Then 5 minutes later, one of the staff was complaining that her FedEx package didn't get picked up last night. Do *I* look like I'm in charge of packages?? I have my stuff (including my purse and lunch bag) tucked in a small area behind the desk I'm at, and some nitwit shoves her wet coat on top of my stuff, when there's a perfectly good coat hook on the wall.

Case Manager calls me to ask an RN to call her. Uh, you can call that nurses station directly. "I can"?? A doc came up to me and asked what the fax number is.. "It's on the phone list" (Which is printed on bright pink paper). And then she came back a few minutes later asking how to reach the PT Manager.. it's ALSO on the phone list.. I'm going to stop printing it, cause no one uses the dang thing!
I need a drink or twelve.

Afternoon BNers
56 with sun here. Going to 40's tonight. Looks like a 2 blanket night.
Justin Verlander won the Cy Young award. Wonder who is going to be able to afford him.

Trust me, Nancy. I would if I could. I need to wait a little over 2 years, so E would qualify for SS.

Just a routine snowstorm for Buffalo
