I got some awesome Hello Kitty stickers and a Target Gift Certificate for Admin Professionals Day. I still liked my old office where they actually just gave us the day off!
Natter Area 51: The Truthiness Is in Here
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh, man, I am so glad I read the board this morning. Even after bitching about it yesterday, I completely forgot about the needing to go in early for staff appreciation day thing.
Although I'm pretty sure I'll be spending most of the day furtively running errands because I'm getting on a plane tomorrow morning.
Checked in for your flight yet? Huh? Huh? I have.
I also woke up really early today, which I guess is good, considering how early I'm going to have to get up tomorrow. Also, I should pack.
And the weather here is horrendous. Better today than tomorrow.
Checked in for your flight yet? Huh? Huh?
Oh, duh. I could do that, and I shall. I'm mostly packed already, although I need to poke at the TSA site because it's been a while since I've been to the airport.
I also woke up really early today, which I guess is good, considering how early I'm going to have to get up tomorrow.
I'm trying to decide when I should ask the taxi to show up. I am thinking probably 5:45am, which is horrendous, although I'm not complaining because I'm sleeping in compared to you.
Oh! Hey! It's secretary's day!
Awesome.
A sample math question for a Chinese university entrance test, compared with one for an English university. Damn. The English one is incredibly remedial, but the Chinese one - I'd have to sit and think a bit on that one.
The tests are set for prospective science undergraduates.
The UK's Royal Society of Chemistry is offering a £500 prize to one lucky but bright person who answers the question below correctly.
It has also published a test used in a "well known and respected" English university - the society is not naming it - to assess the strength of incoming science undergraduates' maths skills.
A glance at the two questions reveals how much more advanced is the maths teaching in China, where children learn the subject up to the age of 18, the society says.
Happy Admin Professional Day to all the Admin Professionals!
Ugh. I got an update on my BIL. He's still in the Hospital with hallucinations and way elevated blood pressure. He's been there since Monday.
Oh my word, Gud. I'm so sorry. Health to him.
I'd forgotten about it, but this morning I got a nice handmade card, lillies, candles and breakfast from my people. I love my people. Now if we could just get the clients to behave today, it'd be perfect.
I has a boarding pass!
