Dear You and You and You and You:

Please confer with one another. Please confer with your superiors. Please do not send me an email with your "idea for a great new thing" and then follow it up two days later with MY boss' boss asking why I am taking so long about it. Please understand that ecommerce and data collection take some time when trying to unify seven (7) competing databases and that yes, although you can "do something like this on Amazon.com," please to note the size of our staff vs. that of, say, Amazon.

Also, in plain English (since you say I geek too much): You. No. Listen. Website. Go. BOOM.

Happy anniversary, Burrell and DH!

Burritos can fix anything.

He sent me a snippy e-mail back about how my changes had messed up the whole document, and making it clear that he considered me a trained monkey who knows how to use Word.

My coworkers and I are plotting revenge against him, including writing his name on the whiteboard, with the comment "OMGWTFBBQ."

I enjoy my coworkers.

I ran across a book with the Best Title Ever today: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot [link]

Which is also how I am feeling as the semester is over so all the faculty are dredging up the silly and elaborate questions they have been sitting on for months, and asking them. Also, my boss is procrastinating, which means she is digging out her desk and handing off her projects to me. Sigh.

Beats being an untrained one who can't
