Sigh...just spent my usual Tuesday night, when I chase Mal around with a rag because the nanny's used a tamping rod to get food down him because "He's too thin!"
Then I had to sing TMBG's Alphabet of Nations about 47 times for him. "Algeria Bulgaria Cambodia Domenica Egypt France the Gambia..."
Good rant, MG. I was on the receiving end of the DH's work rant at lunch. The short version is that he can't get his work done, his boss keeps double-booking himself into meetings and then making DH take one, which puts the work off yet again, and he gets so many emails that every 4 hours he has to delete 50-60 in order to have enough server space so that he can SEND e-mail.
I suggested he block out 2 hours with no boss, no email, no interruption. He said, "I shut my door for 3 hours yesterday and you know what happened? The secretary went shopping all day and the intern went home."
I'm just happy because I was supposed to brief a congressman on Thursday, but now I'm off the hook. The congressman, who I won't name but is a Representative from Florida, has made it very very clear that he and he 70-person entourage are disinclined to work on this trip.
Whatever. As long as I don't have to take the wives shopping. That never goes well.
