This happens to me all the time, and apparently the solution is to nursemaid the colleague.
I've sent three emails. I don't have a phone number. There's fuckall I can do for now. Besides,
some people
who've read the policy plastered everywhere for the past 15 years actually get this sort of thing straightened out ahead of time.
man, this week is crawling along so slow, Sunday seems like a long way away.
Tell me about it. I have Friday off, and it is never ever going to get here.
I don't have a phone number.
We're very well documented, so I always do. When asked "Have you got an answer on X?" that means I need to scurry and call them and walk through the email and wait for the response to show up in my inbox.
Adults.
It is damned hot out here. 100 degrees, also in the shade, according to the rental's thermometer. Which'd be a lot less of a problem if I hadn't decided to browse for stuff in the outdoor mall, and if I weren't wearing work clothes, a-la not shortsleeved shirt with a wool (thin!) tunic over.
I went clothes shopping yesterday (before the doctor visit that resulted in a cast). Do you know what I found?
Crop pants. Racks and racks and racks of them. Does no one wear actual pants any more?
hey, Tom (of the Scola type), did you find throw pillows?
Crop pants. Racks and racks and racks of them. Does no one wear actual pants any more?
Heh. I made this work for me when I went shopping for my mom. She's about 5' even, and all of her lack of height is in her legs. So crop pants are just pants she won't have to hem.
Since I'm 5'8", with all my height in my legs, it's less optimal for me. Good thing I like skirts in the summer.
I wear actual pants! I do, I do!
Although waders, and jokes about high water, are not unwarranted in my area these days.
There were also gauchos. I blame Jesse.
I wear actual pants, but it seems they don't want me to. I try to make them as long as possible too, even if it means I need to wear heels.
I hate sweating in work clothes. It's just wrong. And I have two more meetings left to go.
I was glad to hear that the Gap was going to re-focus on pants, because I like their pants. Pants. Though they seem to be cut longer these days.

thegap.com does not resolve to gap.com. New business plan!
