Masshysteria's Weather Or Not Blog

Good Afternoon Everyone!

It's been a very busy past few days, so I haven't been able to respond to friendly posts below or circulate around the blogs.

What erratic weather patterns we've experienced these past couple of weeks! We've gone from a record-breaking summery feel of 91F degrees, in mid-April, to now overnight freeze warnings due to lows of 32F or below! Thankfully, this cold snap looks to be short-lived, as next week's forecast shows a possible return to daytime highs in the 70's towards the end. Can't wait! This month, April flowers, then showers, came before May ever had a chance to do its normal flora and fauna bidding. Thus far, local flower beds, etc. don't look too affected by last night's overnight freeze and, hopefully, they'll continue to thrive, in spite of more freezing lows to come. Will the real spring and summer weather please stand up? LOL!

We continue to be hampered by drier than normal weather conditions and remain, since a week ago, approx. -5.76 inches below normal rainfall for this time of year. Naturally, potential fire hazzard warnings remain in place until Mother Nature helps to get us back up to speed.







Plap ~ Hope your weekend and week ahead is grand! Glad that May arrives on Tuesday and hope that, this year, better, warmer and much safer weather will accompany the upcoming months or seasons! There's been too much weather-related devastation occurring nationwide in the past few years! So depressing!

Shore ~ So nice to hear from you again! I, too, remember the days (early 70's) when just starting out as a well-trained secretarial novice in the medical field. By the early 80's, to my amazement, my title suddenly changed to that of Administrative Medical Assistant. I found out, too, that some good natured, well-meaning higher-ups on Capitol Hill had also set aside a yearly date for our bosses to honor us. LOL! Quite honestly, whether one is called an administrative assistant or not, these now politically correct modern-day labelings seem more to do with clever rouses, that deflect attention away from the sub-standard pay, limited benefits, guff and the ever-increasing workload that usually come with it. Let's face it, neither male nor female administrative assistants, etc. can survive on inflated titles alone.


I leave you all today with a Youtube vid of an excellent remix of songs by Snow Patrol singing (Chasing Cars) mixed with Sting's (Every Breath You Take) from the movie, "Just Go With It." Seems apropos today.
