Daughter retrieval

As I update you on the state of affairs here, daughter #2 and father are enroute to pick up daughter #3 and her boyfriend who has (hopefully) retrieved her from the bus after her 12 hour commute from university. The sleeping father riding shotgun is due to the weather forecast for flurries turning to snow and the fact that although it’s warmed up somewhat the roads were slippery on his way home from the wharf - so he is the alternate driver should conditions worsen as we have yet another storm predicted beginning tonight. They will be back by 2 a.m. or so and then the fun starts. We’ve become unaccustomed to those midnight buffets of last summer so as the man of the house says “get braced”.

At work (as well as home etc) we’re into the countdown so the phone calls, emails and drop ins were never ending. I had committed to getting out a one page sort of newsletter by Friday for the team so that led me to looking for a title which took me to Cliché Finder where you just plug in the word you’re looking to use (such as bug in my case) here:

Then on to Did you Know? which may be the uber trivia site of all time:

Or this Did you Know:

Which asks Did you know?...23% of all photocopier faults worldwide are caused by people sitting on them and photocopying their butts.

I ultimately decided to go with contacting my wordsmithing friend who had much better ideas than all of the above.

And finally this site which I have no explanation for except for being easily distracted:

I’m covering for two other team members for today and tomorrow so that didn’t help either. I am really looking forward to Friday p.m. when I lock the office door behind me for 11 whole days - yeehaw! Will catch you up tomorrow on the rest of the news.
