But I'll still be in charge of the computers.

Dammit. Can't the president do something about securing the internets? At least the ones in this country?!?

I hate the folks who show up late to meetings and then ask a million questions to fill in on what they missed. I think latecomers give up their right to ask questions, or should at least preface each one with, "If this was asked already or covered before, please disregard..."

God yes! But you know what’s worse? When the person who is leading the meeting feels the need to stop and recap what’s happened for every late person or person who leaves to take a call or go pee!!

Rafael Palmeiro, who pointed his finger at a congressional committee while vigorously denying he ever took steroids, has tested positive for steroids.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Well, maybe at THAT time, he hadn’t taken them. Or he was rubbing herbal crème on his body? Or . . . .

Oh, here's a question: Is it possible to have a letter addressed to a couple, but with one paragraph that is only to one of them? (Indicated by beginning with that person's name.) Boss says no, I say yes. Why not?

I say no, not if it’s business. Oddly, I think that a PS or addendum to only one is okay. But why address a letter to both of them if it doesn’t concern both of them?

Bah. I need a professional opinion.

I’m lawyerly!

But why address a letter to both of them if it doesn’t concern both of them?

Here's what it is: It's a thank you letter to a board member and his wife. The check was written on a joint account, which is why the letter is addressed to both of them. But I wanted to say something to him about how he's such an awesome board member, blah blah.

---

Well what do you want to say specifically, Jesse? Write it out, and maybe we can tweak it into something you're saying to both of them.

---

'In addition to thanking you for your donation we also wanted to share our appreciation for all the hard work John does as a board memeber . we espcailly apprciate his ablity to .....'

or something along that lines seems apprpriate to me.

Wow. I just watched (and was an inadvertent contributor) a co-worker getting pissy all over another one. It's so weird what some people will react badly to. Makes me wonder how anyone ever navigates the minefields of work life, and how some others stay employed.

Most of it might just have been that he ccs his boss on every piece of correspondence, and co-worker B wasn't aware of this and thought it was a hostile move.

---

Well, it's done anyway, re-written by my boss, but I'll try the alternate phrasing next time, see how that goes.

So for the next two weeks, I am expected to do my full-time-like-whoa job while also covering my coworker's full-time-like-whoa job.

I'm having a little motivation problem.

My handwriting needs work, as I just looked at some meeting notes to find that I had apparently taken a bunch of notes, not on podcasting, but on pederasty.

This is why I practiced my handwriting over the weekend. Well not specifically why, just the general wtfness of my scrawling at times.

I am going to have to go back to flea's link because those jeans might work on me.

So the guy who was supposed to have left the office on Friday, here. His office is a little emptier but I haven't had a chance to really see if he's cleaning it out or not. No one tells me anything! t /whiny brat

Rafi Rafi Rafi, sigh. It makes me sad.

Me too. And I thought it was the coolest thing EVAH when I saw him get hit #3000 last month. NSM anymore.

Oh well. I'll always have Ichiro. At least I hope his abilities are all talent and hard work.
