On man, msbelle. That is bad news.
I have an iPod. Well, for the day. K-Bug loaned it to me so I'll have entertaiment during the iron treatment. I could get used to this pretty darned quick.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jeez, msbelle. That you did not need.

msbelle, maybe it will work again when it dries. That happens sometimes.

msbelle, I have no idea regarding iPods, but is there any way to take it a bit apart and/or let it dry properly? Sometimes after drying off, some of the electronic instruments regain their ability to work.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Wait until it dries and then turn it on, msbelle. Otherwise you run the risk of frying it.
I spilled a glass of water all over my laptop the night before I left for NYC for the summer. It was DED. When I came back 2.5 months later, all better!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
WTF? Co-worker casually mentions something about us moving. I check with one of the managers, and - oh yeah - we're moving to the 5th floor (from the 27th) next month. Also - oh yeah - as of next pay period I'm taking over her timehsheets. (A completely NotFun biweekly audit.)
Nobody fucking told me. I'd go yell at my NewBoss except she's in a closed office with the firmwide HR director flown in from Philly.
I hate this shit. We're not a big group. Even my minion knew about the move.

I'm getting the pig!
Hec, that sucks. You'd think that even if NewBoss didn't have time to gather everyone and tell them in person, she'd at least send out a group email.

That's crazy Hec, how could they not make sure everybody knew about it?

Admittedly, I've been doing half-days this week with Emmett sick. However, I sincerely doubt this decision was made this week.
NewBoss is so overwhelmed with this job. I attended her presentation about Harassment and she was so good. It's clear that's the kind of HR work she likes to do. Instead she's constantly stressed and swamped and being shit on from above. I remember when she started and naively said, "Well, we're doing reviews now but it'll be better when this process is over." And I thought, "Not hardly. Reviews are far from the most stressful process we do. After this it'll be something else, and then something else again."
On the one hand, I feel like she trusts me to take care of my stuff and not worry about it. On the other hand, I feel completely unmanaged. Which sucks. I don't want a micromanager, but having somebody communicate to me ever once in a while about what the department is doing would be nice.
