[The Argonaut]

I can't see it either as I look at the picture, but it was my front. Maybe I wore my sweater backwards?

Just hired new FT employee for one of my centers about 2 weeks ago. Been without in that position since the first of October. Waiting on HR clearance to start her. She just told me today she can't work Tues-Fri afternoons because she has class those days. After I went over all our hours and schedule with her TWICE during the interview process and she said the schedule was no problem. And she certainly never told me she was currently in school. She said she just figured I'd work around her schedule. I told her we won't be moving forward with her.

WTF is wrong with these people?

My wife has started learning French, as she works for a French company and interfaces with a lot of Frenchies. I’ve been helping her with the basics; kinda cool the two years I took in HS are coming in handy thirty years later.

IT did a password reset for everyone yesterday evening, which seemed to work fine for the other nations, but in our office no one has been able to log on for a few hours so far today. Somehow we're on a different solution from the other offices, and making your own new password is not possible.

Just as I wrote that, we're back, logged in with our old passwords.

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.
