WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[Madame Buttonfly]

Lovely friend, not sure G would do that for me - but then you look a lot lighter!  Been busy mainly with work - stupidly busy at present.  But trip to Dublin cancelled tomorrow (no surprise there, air travel still total chaos) so maybe I will post a WAYDT pic of what I do instead!

[Beatle]

sounds lovely…that whole no flight situation is a nightmare - but in ur case it means being stuck at home, and that´s a good thing...so yeah- do something and post some do-pics- looking forward to that !

Didn't fly to Ireland as planned.  Busy day in office, did some laundry.  Bit of a purp-tshirt-fest going on.

What design and what size is that pink shirt, Paula (or G)?..

Babysitting these  2 (niece and nephew):

Bought those pink Converses for her last year in Italy.

Watching Wall-E in a bit - yes that was my choice 

[Beatle]

now Seul - those little cuties are well behaved..no way mine (same combo) would let me sit in the lounge chair..I'd be the one pushing them around on the toy car…

[Madame Buttonfly]

Absolutely - lucky Uncle - they look delightful!  My niece and 2 nephews (older now) were never this cute…

[Beatle]

never ?????? I bet they were just as adorable…

[Madame Buttonfly]

Thinking back, my nephews were pretty cute - and still are.  My niece has always been a right little madam!

[Beatle]

lol…my nephew is simply super cute - and his little sister - well , let´s put it this way...I will warn the guy that intends to marry her one day...

[Beatle]

detour - but thinking about them made me remember the first pair of jeans that I gave him…mini nudies...

[Madame Buttonfly]

Fantastic!  Beautiful kids, and he's definitely gonna grow up to be as stylish as his auntie!

[Giles]

Winding down with a pint after the flight.  Tomorrow it is Aero Central - psyched:

[Beatle]

Have fun….

Just got done working 85 hours over 7 days straight.  Drinking cheap beer, unshaven, watching hockey, not wearing any IronHeart, and genuinely not giving a shit 

[Dchill]

Nice dude, so what the hell do you do that causes you to work that many hours?

[Jestre]

I'm a Child Care Worker (shift Supervisor) at a private and mostly non-profit home for kids; ages 10-18.  The residents that come to us can be placed there for a variety of reasons: abuse in the home, neglect, mental health, criminal activity, etc.  We've been short-staffed for the last year and have had major budget cuts.  Male staff are always in short supply and this week has been especially tough as the building I work in gets the kids who are kicked out of the main program on campus.

We got one of the residents who is in the process of being removed from the program and they asked for extra staff on second shift.  I'm all about supporting my co-workers as much as possible as the job can be extremely stressful.  I make terrible money but there are some pretty positive reasons that make the job worth it.  I could go on and on about work; many bad times…but seeing the rare child who thanks you for helping them out can make it worthwhile.  OK...I'm done rambling for now

Makes me feel very humble and heartened, you're doing such a great and worthwhile job - world needs more people like you.

Bloody good on you, hope you can forget about work for a while.  And great pic!
