My plans?
Lots of tv and tapes. . . and some cleaning and a trip to the grocery store.
I rushed home from work and turned on the tv to discover: no digital cable. You can imagine how besides myself I was.
I even called Comcast and when I finally got through . . . uh, it turns out that at some point I'd changed the channel on my vcr off of the channel it has to be on for the digital to run through it. Sigh. Relief.
Missed the beginning of Nightstalker -- I guess I'm going to have to Netflix that episode.
Woo hoo Shrift - for the gainful employment.
Thanks, Lee.
I am such a Dunce.
Yay, shrift!
employed or otherwise. There should always be yay-ness for shrift.
YAY SHRIFT!!
If possible, my work from hime day was just as stressful as being in the office. WTF!?!?! My workplace is seriously chaotic right now and I am hating it. I must have had to tell 5 different people to actually read my emails today because they would respond back without answering anything that I had asked.
and the one thing I needed done for me, didn't get done.
I am logging out and walking away from the computer. I think a bath before tv tonight.
BSG better be FUCKING Good or I am having hateful dreams.
Hey, I just realized that no one said anything about last night's GA (which I will be watching tonight).
Why not? Was it bad?
Ok, shrift is getting a big head around now ...
Well, really, what is wrong with that?
Yay, shrift!
There's this document inspection process we do that takes four people through 250 lines of a document in two hours. It's mandatory that people come in totally prepared, with an assembled list of questions referenced by line number. Then we fine tooth come the document for flaws, and without fixing them, note them for the author to fix later.
It's a hell of a taxing procedure. While I think it would improve all the documents we produce and those we have to use from others, it's going to be a bitch to get buy-in from people who haven't done the training.
On Monday I'm moderating an inspection with 8 participants. To encourage them to read before showing (I know these people. They won't read) I told them to submit their questions to me by 9am Monday morning or don't bother showing.
But more politely.
The person who's told me to shoehorn in a review panel into a formal inspection process replied to all telling them their presence was mandatory. I emailed her asking her to encourage all these people that their PARTICIPATION and preparation were what's important.
Nothing yet.
I have 8 people, about 500 lines of document, and 90 minutes. I need to work out how to tweak things so it's not such an obvious setup to fail.
