Dear Kristina,
I'm plotting a move to say, Iceland, or somewhere officially "COLD." I am just not keen on this wimpy snow here, snow there, some sun, then a bit of a blizzard. I think I'm ready for the long haul insanity of actual deep rooted in 9 months of darkness, monsters of the deep, frozen ALL the time, Iceland. I hear they have nice knits too.
Completely Snowed In,
Holly

Well, Michigan is Practically in Canada...
No joke friends to the North!!! Threadbear Fiber Arts is selling your Mission Falls 1824 Cotton for $2 a skein! The wool for $3. I stocked up! They ship, call them.
Look, I wear my hair so my hoser hat can't escape! It gets caught in the elf/Florence Henderson curls. Very rockin'!
She's saying Cheers!
Or Hell Hath No Fury like a woman kept from her LYS due to a stupid ass snow storm!
Good luck on your charting nightmare. I was supposed to make a chart for that orange hat. You know, to say "shoot on sight." Well, let's just say, it's a plain boring orange hat. I never even pulled the graph paper out. That may be because the graph paper was in the recycled robot ass bag, and it smelled too toxic to go near. But when I see the hat, I will want to shoot the wearer on sight.
I admire your house cleaning skills and think that more people should take up your methods.

Deviant - the only way to go
Holly:
So sorry to hear about your forced PC training today. I have no doubt that you are now well placed to become a door greeting at a large department store which shall remain nameless.
As someone who works in the not-for-profit environment, I can certainly relate. In addition to all of the expensive paper containing my various designations, I have many, many diplomas from such "complaince" training (I'm saving it all in the event I ever get a bird...).
JJs workplace (a security company) is also going through an "image makeover" and he is getting tons of (what he calls) bumf with all this sort of jargon. You can only imagine how impressed he is with that. The latest missive was a "how do you really feel?" questionnaire together with a big box with photos of trees taking up half a page to give the message "Support our greening initiative - allow us to correspond with you by Email instead. We require that you provide us with your Email address on or before 30 November 2007."
WELL.
As you can imagine, this provoked quite the rant. It started off as "As far as I'm concerrrrrrned, they can uproot all those trrrrrees and stick them up their collective arses...and how many bloody trrrees have they killed thus far to send me a bunch o' this crrrap... Ah tell yew...". It is still continuing.
They did not get JJs Email address (he doesn't actually have one). Instead, they got a very very strong letter indeed - drafted by His Master's Voice and taken in person to his head office before he went to work this morning.
Oh - as for your training -sometimes it's better to subvert from within. You can really use that nonsense to play some mighty head games.
And - I went back to the LYS today (surprise surprise). Escaped relatively unscathed - two skeins of Super 10:
... and the IK mag from Winter 2005. Oh, and three FREE pattern books!! :-)
When are you coming up for our yarncrawl? - might want to save it until spring at this point. Today we had a freak snowstorm where it was actually snowing SIDEWAYS. Spooky.
Non illegitimi carborundum (don't let the bastards grind you down...) and goddess-speed with the beret!
Cheers,
Kristina
