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

Do you need something looked up, Sparky?

Fortunately, what we needed was in the supplement, which we do have. It's only the bound volumes that have gone AWOL. I'm going to cross my fingers that the law review article doesn't cite to Nebraska again.

Susan, could you go in for a couple hours this afternoon and win yourself some dedicated-employee points that way while you let them know you'll be leaving early Friday?

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm in the "give as much advance notice as possible" when it comes to emergency time off. First thing tomorrow should be okay. Though if your boss usually arrives after you do, "first thing" means any time before boss arrives.

Mostly lurking...

So I guess the assignment went well for you?

Yeah. It was actually fairly useful. Go figure. Also, I had it turned in a week early. Oops. My prof was all, "No one else turned this in. Are you sure it was due?" First time I've ever been early due to misreading a syllabus!

Susan, I agree with the others. I'd think first thing tomorrow morning would be fine.

Susan, could you go in for a couple hours this afternoon and win yourself some dedicated-employee points that way while you let them know you'll be leaving early Friday?

At this point it's probably too late, partly because of commute logistics. I won't bore you with the details, but suffice it to say parking is expensive and hard to find and the bus schedule is impossibly convoluted except during peak hours when the express I take runs.

I think what I'm going to do, since it does look like it's going to have to be me instead of DH taking AB to the appointment, is get him to do the daycare drop-off and pick-up tomorrow so I can go in a bit early and stay till the very last express bus leaves that evening. I'll tell them first thing in the morning, then spend the day being impressively productive.

As I keep having to remind myself, I do work for chaplains who explicitly prioritize self-care. And even if my new boss is more efficient, driven, and bureaucratically minded than any of the other staff chaplains, she's still, you know, a Buddhist priest. Not that being a member of the clergy guarantees that you're a wonderful person or anything, of course, but still.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Suzi, yay on the good med stuff.

Susan, good luck. Hopefully new bosses catches the "day care priority" bug that the rest of the company follows. And best of luck with all that.

I'm going credit union this time around.
Aimee, I didn't see the LJ post, so I don't know the details (wimpers...didn't make the cut...wimpers). But I would concur, Credit Unions ROCK!
