It was. We're the only place on a dead end road, with a killer driveway through the woods. I didn't even hear them coming, we were doing yard work out back. All at once it looked like a clown car of old ladies, then they were milling around, "Oh look at her lovely hostas!" Their "tour" consisted of the driveway, right back down it. :laugh:

I think I'd really have to fight back the urge to grab the shotgun! :lol::lol::lol:

Ok...*whew*

I think I caught up. Day from Hell at the House of Mouse. I spent the entire day trying to finish the first thing I started when I walked into my office.

On a happier note, the university where I teach has revived their idea of building a doctoral program in Business Admin, and has put it into the College of Business and Public Management's strategic plan. I was on the original advisory committee to plan the program design, until they shelved the idea, and I just got accepted to be on the new advisory committee. This means I might finally have a viable path to finish my doctorate. I'm tempted to cheer, but I believe too much in Murphy's Law. :facepalm:

Is contributing to the design of an educational program where I want to become a student a conflict of interest? :D

All I had handy was a koi net. :laugh: Not exactly a good weapon. Somehow slapping the elderly with a wet stinky net didn't seem like it would be appropriate. But the thought made me giggle. :facepalm: I did once smack a neighbors sheets hanging out on the line with a full pooper scooper though. She had it coming.

That they are. They just don't think sometimes.

It would be a conflict of interests (yours) to pass up the opportunity to complete your Doctorate. :2c:

And congrats!

I think a wet, stinky net would have been just the thing, actually. Sends the perfect message.

Thank you ma'am, but nothing to congratulate for yet. Just a chance of an opportunity to fulfill a deeply held desire. Which is a damned sight better than before they revived the idea.

I don't like that at all. :(

I'll leave the porch light on for you and your crusty bread and salad. :)
