hi, Suela! Are you able to go on b.org from work again?

Apparently; looks like they turned off the monitoring for a bit. They do that periodically when they're having network issues. I probably shouldn't be here, but here I am.

Hmm, very odd. I'm trying to print a 5-page spreadsheet to PDF. The first 4 pages show up, but the 5th won't, and then I get some weird error from the printer.

shrift, I'm sorry about today's badness.

apparently my boss decided that would be "enough".

Don't you deserve your own cake?

{{Gud}} I wish there were anything I could do to make things easier. You certainly deserve all the best.

I'm trying to concentrate on work and not think about totally miserable home life

Oh, Gud, I'm sorry.

About upthread's flowers discussion: I have to admit that, like ita, I'd totally do the flowers for myself. I love flowers and I rarely think to buy them for myself.

If you think about flowers as decoration rather than an expression of deep personal commitment, the service sounds pretty nice.

Kate, that party thing sucks. (Although I had my birthday "party" at the staff team-building exercise on Saturday, so.) You deserve your own party. But then you're leaving anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter to them how they treat you. Pfft.

There's an office-wide (i.e. not just our dept.) holiday lunch party on Friday, and apparently my boss decided that would be "enough".

That's sucky.

I had my birthday "party"

Suela, when was your birthday (it's not on the Buffista Calendar)?

Good luck. I'm trying to concentrate on work and not think about my totally miserable home life.

Aw, Gud, that sucks. At least when I leave the office at the end of the day, I don't have to deal with these people until the next morning.

This isn't helping me not want to hurt them, however. Maybe I ought to switch back to punk...

And now I've tried to make a PDF from MS Visio (It's an org chart) and all the names are gibberish.

::shakes fists of rage at universe::

On edit: aha, I have solved it! Visio will not talk to PDFWriter, but it will talk to Distiller. Yay!

That's not buddies.

I really and truly cannot wait to be rid of my boss.

Don't you deserve your own cake?

Thank you! Maybe this can be my excuse to get something totally rich and scrumptious for dessert today. (And now I'm wondering about the etymology of "scrumptious".)

eta: thanks for the sympathy, y'all.

However, I haven't seen anything yet about the handset itself being magnetic.

I think I'm losing my mind. I may have posted this somewhere, god knows where , but maybe it is something like why my laptop is magnetic.

Things are going rapidly south here. Nothing that I can DO anything about, but... critical disks failing ledt and right.

My birthday was Saturday, Nilly - the 10th. Which was the day of our company team-building and holiday party, so I spent about 12 hours of my birthday in the constant company of my coworkers.

Who are mostly very nice, but I'd rather have had the day to myself.
