Even though its only March, spring is arriving. Pasque flowers are blooming in a neighbor’s lawn.
Pasque flowers are blooming!
I expect more snow before spring is really here, but this interlude is certainly nice!

Our old refrigerator was working, but we had taken to taping the door closed, as the cats had a habit of trying to pull the door open. In addition, the handles were always coming loose. Time to change it out.
Now, new refrigerators are expensive. Also, Pam wanted it in black. Off to Craig’s List to see what was available in a used unit.
Hark! A listing in a town we drive past to go to work. Black refrigerator, in good condition. Even had the dimensions listed, and it would fit our opening. So, I replied. Yes, unit was still available.
Turns out the listing was from a co-worker. You know when you’ve been to long in the same place when this happens.
Anyway, I had to take the doors off the refrigerator to get it out of my co-worker’s house, but did get it home and back into service. It works well, and no tape needed to hold the doors (Its a side-by-side) closed. Ah, the small pleasures of life!
Pam, who has been working part-time, had her job recallsified to full time. Its a mixed blessing, as Pam liked her 3-day-a-week job and its flexible scheduling. On the other hand, it will result in an increase in pay, as they raised her hourly rate as well. Pam goes full-time on March 16.
Pam has been working from home a few hours a week. Not only is this more productive, but it saves on commuting costs. HR was not happy about continuing this arrangement, arguing that Pam did not have the “status” needed to get this “perk”. There is not policy about it; supervisors generally make the decision, but a new HR director is trying to establish her turf and Pam had to get 8 signatures on a document to do the same thing she has been doing for more than a year! Pi@@ed Pam off, it did!
