Best thoughts for Matt in his Job Suckage. Did a Bitch send me a post card of the Inner Harbor recently? Cause I can't read the name on it, if you did.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Why does it feel as though the higher up you go on the org chart the less the common sense?
This is why I'm going back to school. My only other option was management and I so don't want to go there.

DH calls this "failing their way to the top." The most incompentent people get moved up and around enough to screw things up but are always gone by the time the shit hits the fan so they never have the taint of failure. It's frustrating for the people beneath them who are the ones who are getting the job done.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Then there's the old thing about rising to the level of your incompetence.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
well, I did get an e or two from Matt - The PTB have backed way off. I'm not sure exactly what this means, but I guess they aren't harrassing him about the fact that this happened. Plus I did my usual when his job sucks - I sent him some job postings - two of which he is interested in.

Ugh, I do hope things ease up quickly.

Thinking good thoughts for Matt.
I wish I could use my standard phrase on these stoopid managers as I use on my kids - "Don't make me knock heads and use duct tape".

Happy belated birthday, Lee and erika!
At my old job, the campus closed down for the week between Christmas and New Year's Day, as a cost-saving measure. There were three days that weren't considered holidays, and you were required to take them. Initially, you could opt for either leave without pay or vacation. Later, the leave without pay option was only available if you didn't have vacation available. It was nice for all the folks who wanted to take the time off anyway, but used to have to take turns so someone would be in the office. It wasn't so nice for those who didn't want to take it. I had a friend whose husband worked two weeks on, two weeks off, and almost always worked on Christmas week. She always wanted to work that week, so she could spend the holiday with him when he came home. (Plus, she got to shop the after Christmas sales for her family's Christmas presents. Score!)
On the other hand, locking people in is just wrong like a thing that is wrong.
