Since I'm having a crappy day otherwise, I thought I'd report that I just had a kick ass lunch. Who knew a box of vacuum-sealed Indian food under the name "Tasty-bite" could be so good?

Those things are great, huh, brenda? Shockingly so.
Question for the group: Is there a good way to make a PERT chart without MS Project software or similar? Or will I just have to draw little boxes in Word. PERT is the one with the little boxes, right?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Just got an e-mail that we're having pictures taken for photo ID badges tomorrow. Whoopee.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I hate "streamlining"...
At my old job (at the Uni), I ordered all the office supplies, etc on-line.
Currently (at the same uni), my boss tells me what she wants, I look it up in a catalolog, and give it to a woman who types it in.
Now, to streamline, I have to give it to the admin assistant to the director who will give it to the woman who types it in.
Now, the online ordering system is set up so that you can have orderers and approvers, so why the fuck can't I place my order on-line and have the approver approve it!

Yeah, yeah. But I did remember that I faked one once with an org chart thingy-do.
God, I'm so technical.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
PERT is the one with the little boxes, right?
Each box is an event or milestone, and is joined to other boxes to indicate tasks.
I have lunch in the freezer (a Trader Joe's bowl of summat). But I don't want it. I was so good last week--didn't eat out at lunch once. And I haven't had steak, or sushi, or a good burger in forever.
Hmm.

To recap: I knew this is what I want to create, was not certain of the name. Again, any better way to make one without specific software for it?

I'm assuming you don't have Visio, which is my tool of choice for boxes with connecting lines. I know people mock that stuff up in Word (and AFAIK, Project doesn't have an obvious way to do it, unless they're calling it something else) because I've had to edit them and it was brain hurty.

I thought Project made one for me last semester, but since I don't have access to it any more, I can't be sure. Will mock up, or just make a timeline in table form or something. Thanks.
