I've gotten this email about an upcomig project: Building Management and Control Systems.
*sigh*
They're calling it "The BM's"
I can see my next 4 months of work unfolding before my eyes, sitting through meeting after meeting while men in suits chatter away about putting a rush on the BM's and Kerry have you taken care of the BM's and have we seriously considered the implications of the BM's...I am a strong woman, with, at times, a very witty sense of humor, but no amount of class and sophistication can save me from laughing when someone asks me with a straight face if I've done everything I can to document the BM's.
NOW THEN. A friend told me a story yesterday about the weather. You have to understand that for the past 4 months it has rained every day here in Ireland, up until the last 3 days, which have been cloudless and beautiful. For most of us, this feels like nothing short of a miracle.
My friend said that he had been standing on a hill last week with an old man when the man spotted a bird flying past in the rain. The man gasped and said, "Look! Do you know what that bird means? Good weather is coming. Mark my words." Sure enough, one day later the sun came.
Do YOU know, dear reader, what this means? It means that I live in a country where sunny days are so scarce, so very very few and far between, there are oracles and legends surrounding them. Folklore. For the sun.
So whereever you are, enjoy what sun you have! There is a persistent cloud cover in Dublin today that promises rain, so think of me if you have a little sun in your life today. :)

Google has created Google Pages, the latest out of their lab. Use it to create your own blog. You can add text, images, and my favorite, embed google gadgets. It even publishes to the web to your own URL. Check out the quick one I made to test it out.
