One place I worked, we used to get sent home if the generator ran out and the electricity went. And as they never remembered to buy oil, that was every couple of weeks. Yay!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
When the a/c goes off here, we get sent home. It's only happened a couple of times, once a brownout and once the line that powers the wings blew up or something. There was still power in the core of the building, but the ac was dead.
We had this happen twice when a nearby water main has broke, but never with the a/c. Of course that's because we've never had the a/c go down (although it's needed serious re-adjustment several times, both up and down).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Dana, could you get kicked off in a good way?
Maybe. I doubt she could prejudice my boss against me, so it's possible that I could just get moved to another project which wouldn't be staffed by crazy people. I'm just pissed that I couldn't make this work. On the other hand, it's not like I killed myself trying, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
WRT ita's link, I know there are people I THINK haven't aged much, but Richard Simmons has looked identical for, like 30 years. I mean, he doesn't even have a new outfit or haircut. It is very weird. Although, I kinda like him.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Dana, always remember that they are the crazy people, not you.

On the other other hand, she's batshit crazy if she's human, so don't go beating yourself up. Beat her up. Or just imagine it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Unrelatedly, one of the funniest videos I've ever seen.
Oh. My. God.

She is totally batshit crazy. I am secure in that. And all my other projects have loved me.
She signs her e-mails with "Make it a great day!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh. My. God.
Suddenly I adore Richard Simmons. I forgive him for everything he did that ever irritated me.
And all my other projects have loved me.
Ignore the crazy lady.
In other work news, I really don't know how to get people to attend my meetings. It's not specifically me that's being ignored, but dammit, when it's my project, just behave, will you? Read your e-mail, and when you accept an invite to a meeting, show up, or send me a note saying why you can't. You know all this shit is important.
