The gray and the blue
One of the "perks" we lost at work is having President's Day as a holiday. We still get to observe MLK day, though. So, off to work I went. My daughter had a make-up day for all the calamity days that they missed.
There wasn't a lot going on at work. Most of the schools that were in session had delayed starting for two hours because of the weather. I took care of some T1 line service calls. We usually have this area checked out first when there is trouble reported, because there is not much I can do if it is the T1 line. So, getting that out of the way and testing to make sure the line is good, I can zero in on the problem quicker.
I was the last one to leave the office building today. Which means that I am to turn on the alarm. There was a car in the parking lot so I had to go all through the building hollering "Hello! Anybody here?" No answer. I checked the bathroom, too. Just in case. I set the alarm and left. Reminds me of the old days working back in the business world. And, no - the car wasn't mine. I meant there was a car OTHER than mine in the parking lot.
The week is low maintenance except for the jewelry party on Thursday night. I do not wear jewelry. I had a class ring. I have had an engagement ring. I have worn pearl (faux) necklaces. I have gold chain necklaces and a watch here and there. Maybe once a year, I will put on my gold necklaces. I do not have pierced ears. I do not have pierced anything.
Years ago I was going through my Mom's jewelry box and I found her wedding ring and engagement ring. She had tiny fingers. They fit on my right pinkie. I asked her if I could wear them, and she said yes. This maybe lasted for a month or so - I'll guess I was fourteen. During this ring wearing time, we went to West Virginia to visit the elder relatives. An aunt mentioned that it was bad luck for me to wear my Mom's wedding rings. Bad luck as in "I would never marry." Well, I wasn't much on superstition, but it turned out I never got married. So, who's to say?

There are interesting "bad luck" issues associated with weddings and rings. Mostly I get the idea that the bad luck is for the bride and groom to wear the rings "before" they are married. Saying nothing about anyone else wearing their rings. I never knew that it was bad luck for a bride to look at herself in a mirror in her complete wedding outfit before the ceremony. Who knew? I guess that is where the matron of honor comes in along with the bridesmaids. It must be part of their job to make sure she looks okay and everything is in it's place.
But hey, maybe I will start wearing jewelry. Maybe I will find something I really like and buy it. That's right, Peruby. Stay positive. Jewels by Park Lane.

Never heard of the Mirror superstition...if that is a real superstition, then why are there so many photographers who take "that" picture????? The one of the bride in the mirror? Strange, huh? Sorry that you had to go to work, and hope that the alarm didn't go off when whomever owned the car decided to surface! Have fun at the Jewelry party, you might find something you would like to wear. I too don't wear much jewelry, just on special occasions. My ears are pierced, 2x each, but I NEVER wear earrings. I only wear my wedding band, always.
T1 line service calls are relatively rare depending on the area. Overall T1 line users should experience few problems anyway.

There is usually no problems w/ T1. Now with Cable there might be occasional slowdowns. T1 service is ever so competitive which opens the door for http://getoc3.com to show off their muscle.
