must share this story from work.

boss says work needed today was late due to one of my employees not being focused and having a sense of urgency.

my employee says he sat on approvals for 4 hours today.

boss say nuh-uh.

seriously people. SERIOUSLY!

I feel for him. [eta: Mac, not your boss, let's be clear]

I still have that hotel web page up, and if I were truly organised I could wrap up (maybe) my SCUBA certification on this trip. But there's no way I'll do the bookwork and closed water dives before then. But still, I can dive the day I'm by myself for no extra charge, and maybe even Friday too. That should leave plenty of time for me to adjust for the flight back on Sunday afternoon.

I just got a really really nice letter from a librarian about my book.

Made my day.

boss says work needed today was late due to one of my employees not being focused and having a sense of urgency.

I had one of those last week! While I was out, my minion got "in trouble" with our boss because of not getting something to her early enough for her to review it. Previous conversations have indicated a one-week lead time. Minion gave the document to boss a week ahead of time. Boss did not get it from her assistant and/or did not read it for four days. Whose fault is that??

Seriously.

Those are great write-ups, Daisy!

And ALSO, I had my first meeting with a career counselor tonight, and it was awesome. She is totally going to help me think of completely different kinds of work I could be doing.

Aw, yay, paperdol.

That's lovely, Allyson. I love seeing ita vacation plan. Uh, wanna do some for me?

Okay, many yays today.

YAY for Mac's leg! YAY for Daisy's bars! YAY for Allyson's letter!

Everybody must get stoned....

So this guy decided to follow all 700 (or so) rules in the Bible, and then write a book about it. This bit from a Newsweek article amused me:

...and then there were the rules that were hard to do in modern life, like stoning adulterers. But I did manage to fulfill that one. What happened was, I was in the park, dressed in my white garb, and this man in his 70s came over and asked what I was doing. I explained I was trying to follow every rule in the Bible as literally as possible, including growing my beard, not mixing fibers, stoning adulterers, and he said, “I’m an adulterer, are you going to stone me?” I said, “Yeah that would be great.”

I just called the cab company to report service above and beyond. Good on him.

Congrats, paperdol!

Sure, sara. Where can I send you today?

Okay, naptime.

I posted something about it in Technology, but you all are aware that Stephen Fry is blogging, right?
