Burned snot, Wallace antics

Do you work somewhere with paperwork like this?
The top right forms are labeled "snot score"
I've been seeing someone. Kinda like the State Farm guy - but he's an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist at the Iowa ENT Center named Dr. Simplot. He didn't care to score my snot though...I happen to think I have top notch stuff...

They did a CT Scan of my sinuses. Nothing much in there. So we are trying "chemical cauterization" of my sinuses. I'm trying this to keep migraines away. Sinus pain seems to be one of the triggers to the damn things. The doc shot a number of noxious chemicals into my nostrils last week. In a few weeks they'll repeat this fun. Can't wait - hope it helps.

It's Spring Break week in DSM. Lots of people are gone at work - so it's a bit quiet there. Except for the fact that it's moving week. Our Bureau is undergoing a change. We are adding a couple sections and they are joining us on beautiful 5th Floor Wallace.

Right now the empty cubicles around the joint are located randomly here and there. To make room, we all need to scrunch together with our fellow Section members. Lucky for me, I don't need to move. But lots of people are - and there is a cleaning frenzy going on! I'm glad DNR provided plenty of recycling container - in keeping with our mission.
Jeff fills the 4th or 5th container...what a feeling!
It was Amy W.'s birthday today - and in keeping with good government tradition, she brought her own treat. It was a fabulous 3 layer cake in great Pinterest fashion.

Tom gave her a great gift - decorating her office a bit (he's a Hawk/Panther Fan).

Yes that's the ISU hoops poster with Tom's face pasted onto each player
Becky used to reside in the cubicle next to mine. Now it looks like this. I can no longer just call to her over the wall.

That's Becky - all the way down the hall now...insert tears

Don't worry about me though - Scott is moving into Becky's vacant space. So I'll have him close by to harass!
All-in-all it was a good day at work. We had cake!
