A couple of questions answered

Mainly because I am the only person in my office. Well, my DH is, but THAT-IS-IT. Of course it's early, so a couple more may straggle in. NO traffic. It looked like Sunday morning. But the Metro's are packed, at 6:30 they were already having to skip station stops because the trains were full.

Carolyn: we had a merger last year and our management is so concerning with following company policy that they cannot do the right thing for their employees (we were the acquired, I like being the acquiree MUCH better). A good many of our employees live in Southern Maryland and all access through the district is closed, only the outer beltway is open and some side streets. Most of them are blocked with bus traffic. And all areas around the Pentagon (we're very close to there) are blocked to stage the parade. Another large group lives south of the office and needs I395 to get in. It's stopped at Springfield (you can take a break for five minutes, Carolyn and look at a map, it will still be there when you return. **wink**) All those employees who chose not to spend half a day attempting to get to work have to take a vacation day. JUST WRONG. JMHO. Should have closed the office. Period.

Karen: you COULD (I'm not gonna) sew front of sleeve to front, back of sleeve to back, layout the full front to the full back and put it together sewing up the side seams into the bottom of the sleeve, then the top of the sleeve. I've already sewn the body together, so I'll make the bottom of the sleeve, insert and top of sleeve. It's a raglan style, no sleeve cap.

Another SG-er scanned and e-mailed me the ENGLISH instructions for this top, so I'm good. I'd've figured it out, I'm sure. It's just a raglan t-shirt. But overall I got distracted when I realized that I was missing a whole piece. It was late, give me a break.

And Karen, sorry about your truck. That's no way to start a week. And then to have to catch up today. "You know it's a bad day when... hitting a tree was a GOOD thing" Glad you're ok.

I turned on the TV in the break room so I can keep up with Hoop-la. So far, the local news is best, but I may move to CNN later. My call, no one to fight over the remote with today. I'm finally getting a little caught up in the excitement. But I didn't get up for Christmas until about 3pm on Christmas eve. Soo...
