      I think they actually have Minecraft toys - like $10 dolls and such. Just stop by the toy department at your local Target, Wal-Mart, etc..

        It's my Friday and won't be back in the office until Wednesday. That's a good thing. I have a charity hockey tournament to play this weekend, meaning four games in three games. That's a painful thing.

          Made it to the office 45 minutes later than I normally do commuting from 5 miles away. When I got to the airport so early, I noticed there was a 7am. I was thinking of trying to fly standby, but decided against it as I had checked luggage and didn't want to have to wait for it at Logan. So what happens? My luggage actually made it on the earlier flight.

              Yes, in part. The other part is that I just don't want to be in the office.

                  Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #184: The 2016 Frozen Four

                  So, in honor of yesterday being 100 Days Out till the Olympics, plus the fact that we've decided to stop using Styrofoam cups in our cafeterias for free coffee as part of our sustainability program, we are providing all employees with a reusable plastic coffee cup. It looks like a Starbucks cup The goal was to have them all distributed by yesterday but given the immense number of offices and the lateness of us getting final artwork to the vendor, there has been a bit of a delay. That being said, the vendor is actually ahead of schedule, which is awesome. We sent out a notice to all the Office Operations Managers last week explaining what they will be getting and when, and to place on employee desks as of the 27th. I've been getting emails the past two days "I'm short x-amount!" and so on. For each office location number, I received a number of employees plus contractors and then I upped the amount by 5%. You're not short by that amount. The issue has been, for the most part, that some locations have more than one office code. One of the shipments may have been sent out one or two days later than the main one. The communication to the office managers said the distribution would be a rolling one and that all locations should receive by May 6th. Which no one has read.

                  Then, yesterday, while I'm in Times Square with very little access to email, I get notification that there is chatter on our internal social media platform about whether or not the cup is PBA free (which it is) and the code/number thing to determine if it's recyclable or whatever. Seriously people - it's a stupid free cup. If you're going to be all worried about that - don't use it. /end rant

                    My company stopped provide the Styrofoam cups a few years ago for the break room coffee. They sent out an email that they would replace them with more eco-friendly paper cups that had little handles, and then decided not to provide those cups and made anyone who wanted coffee to supply their own mugs. The problem was that they never told anybody about that last change, so we had a lot of unhappy and tired employees in the office that day.

                              ETA: I will say, it's been good to see other people who are also included in this program reacting the same as me. I swear, one guy I talked to today I feel like I could hear his eyes rolling back when he was telling me about a call he had with one of the offices.

                                It really was perfect weather during that stretch.

                                Extended forecast appears to show summer beginning. Mid 80's to low 90's...
