The Office Assistant - Office Memo - for real!

For many visitors, hitting this blog is a first time experience. But the fun part can be in the commenting....so here are some simple instructions that I hope will give you the confidence to post a comment.
Look for the small type at the bottom of this post called "comments". Click on it.
This takes you to the comment page. Type your comment in the white box on the top right hand corner.
Then select your identity - "other" or "anonymous" is fine if your prefer to not explore further through clicks.
Next step - Click on "preview" which brings up the comment for one last look, in a yellow box. If you like it, then hit "publish". It is this easy! I still double post my own comments, so don't worry about your etiquette.

The quilt will be in City Hall for First Thursday in December - and I will keep working on it once I leave this space. The blogging will also continue. Thanks to the Office of Commissioner Sam Adams for making this possible. This will be a fun reunion too, so I am expecting to see numerous visitors that have been interacting with the project, both through the blog and beyond. Portlandia will have to shiver for a little bit longer...

The Office Assistant project at this site will wrap itself up on Friday 4 November, around the usual knock-off time for a public building. (We all know what that means!) Around the middle of the week, you will be able to submit a Performance Appraisal on the Office Assistant - the details will appear on the blog early next week.

It has been noticed that the Frequent Travellers, are still, well, frequently traveling through the lobby. One of them has started to interact with the quilt so I can't bag him, but the other continues on his own way, with absolutely no acknowledgement of my presence at all. So.........here are some teasers to help identify this lucky person......
I call him Freeway Man - not because he spends so much time walking through the lobby; instead when he combs his artificially darkened hair and makes a part way low on the left hand side, it exposes the white growth underneath. It kinda looks like the markings for the bike lanes....

I do want to make a special 'thankyou' to Maureen who gifted me something that is simply paper with printed words on it (and it is not a cheque!). The words on these little pieces of paper just make me smile thinking about the 'door' that they will open. Domo arrigato Maureen. Your gift makes a wonderful difference.

There are numerous other visitors today that I want to thank too - for being so generous and making the time to chat. Mary Jo from City Hall came by, and met up with Al. Roland came over shortly after that (so I took the opportunity to razz him about being an American with a passport -which is a rare bird - that has never been used - dah!), followed by Tony from Trimet who wrapped himself up in the quilt - not bad for a grown man without any prompting! Mark from Oregon City shared stories of how he mans a Peace in Iraq protest out where he lives. Jack can come visit as often as he likes - it is too much fun! Cindy from RACC was totally faking it with the crochet - at least she used the hook! Donna from Parks and Rec just tried to pull it all apart - that is the project for next month Donna!!! Norberto also dropped by, just to catch up on progress - especially the part where the quilt was hung for the first time.
