Normally, I have pretty good weather karma, but when it comes to the Dos, my weather karma works in reverse, so hope for the best.

Looking forward to it!
For those taking the T, closest stop is the virtually unknown "Bowdoin" stop on the Blue Line. Government Center (Blue & Green Lines) is also nearby.

The Boston Summer Do: June 24

Unfortunately it looks like my schedule has me arriving into BOS a little too late. Looks like I'll have to miss this one. See you guys at the next one!

Thanks. I always forget about Bowdoin. Government Center is closed, however, for the next year or so.

Having been in that 10%, I know how your coworkers feel. Best to all of them.

Update: I'll be there! At what time? Not sure - dependent on traffic. Trying to get out on time tomorrow.

"Take Your Time"

I don't know if you were looking at me or not
You probably smile like that to the next customer all the time
And I don't mean to bother you but
I couldn't just walk by
And not get mos or gcs to buy

And I know your name on your name tag
'Cause everybody in here knows your name
And you're not looking for anything complicated right now
So I don't wanna come on strong
But don't get me wrong

Your store policies are so intimidating
My heart is pounding but
It's just a mo and gc conversation
No girl I'm not wasted
You don't know me but here is my ID
I don't know you but to get this done I'll act like I want to

I don't wanna steal your break time freedom
I don't wanna change your supervisor's mind
I don't have to make you love me
I just wanna take gcs and mos this time

I don't wanna wreck your shift on check cashing Friday
I ain't gonna waste my social engineering lines
I don't have to take your heart pin you're wearing
I just wanna take more gcs one more time

And I know it starts with hello
And the next thing you know you're trying to be nice
And some old lottery ticket guys getting too close
Trying to flirt or pick you up
Trying to get you to laugh and act dumb

And I'm sure one of your other clerk friends is about to come over here
'Cause she's supposed to save you from random MS guys
That talk too much and wanna stay at the CS desk too long
It's the same old song and dance but I think you know it well

You could've rolled your eyes
Told me we don't sell those here and to go to hell
Could've walked away
But you're the clerk that's still here
And I'm still here
Come on let's see how many more MOs

I don't wanna steal your break time freedom
I don't wanna change your fear-based mind
I don't have to make you love me
I just wanna take more MOs this one time

I don't have to meet that cashier there who you say is your mother
We don't have to cross that line
I don't wanna steal your coupons
I just wanna MS on my time

I don't wanna go home with you

I just wanna be alone at this service desk with you

I don't wanna steal your break time freedom
I don't wanna change your policy-flooded mind
I don't have to make you love me
I just wanna break the rules this time

I don't wanna blow your CS phone up
I just wanna do $10,000 and blow your mind
I don't have to take your heart pin
I just wanna take your time

No, I ain't gotta call you CS lady
And I ain't gotta call you mine
I don't have to take your heart pin
I just wanna take your time

For those of you I haven't met, I will be wearing a bright yellow polo shirt and hanging outside. The weather is supposed to be fantastic.

Thanks Mike for the additional description, you should be easy to spot in yellow attire

I will be coming from work in Andover, so I will likely be late in getting there. I'll look out for the yellow shirt and the yellow buttons.

Looking forward to it, I'll be missing my weekly kickball game so I can attend

It is It's a cool kickball meetup group that has games during the warm weather months. Not real serious...the objective is to kick, run around a bit, and make it to the local watering hole afterward

Bummer ... something just came up. I'll have to beg off. Will try to get to the next one - as long as it isn't on a Thursday. (That's my evening class day this coming fall.)

Argh, sorry. Next time. But according to Brownie, we can't do Thursdays, either.
