Trudy - that sucks and I hope that HR does the sensible thing and reassigns you.
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I loved the "then just go home". Fuck off, Big Boss. Bug someone else with your tantrum. You'd have been happy for me to be sick yesterday when you were here.

I really think that is the likely outcome -- they DON'T want to lose someone good they've trained. But I'm still sending around the resume.

{{{Trudy}}} Re-assignment~ma. Your boss is being unreasonable and hopefully HR will find a way to deal with her.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Phone: *Ring*
Me: You know it's Friday, right?
Phone: *Just...'Ring', okay?*
Me: Damn you to the deepest of hells.
Fuckcake O' the Day: Hey, Joe...it's JOE! Ha ha!
Me: How can I help you?
FCOtD: Wondering if you had an answer yet.
Me: To...?
FCOtD: We talked the other day.
Me: I received a great many calls a day. I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't recall yours.
FCOtD: But how many calls share your name?
Me: ...
FCOtD: (expectant pause for laughter and recognition)
Me: ...
FCOtD: Um. I think I ended up talking to (Other Person)
Me: I'll see if they're available.

My manager is due in my office sometime in the next hour. She flew down to do my annual review. I already know what my raise is (a nice 4% - not fantastic, but not horrid), so why am I so nervous? I feel like there are a zillion butterflies in my tummy.
Oh, and in kid news, CJ gets his braces off today. K-Bug is taking him to the ortho for me. Afterwards, she plans on buying him some Laffy Taffy.

Here's an interesting thing for Nilly and our other Buffista jews. apparently, a modern version of Hava Nagila is in the running for best selling song of the Christmas season. You can see the video here: [link]
"British singer Lauren Rose has released a modern version of traditional Jewish song Hava Nagila, and gambling pundits have even given odds on the song to take the top spot in the U.K. Christmas pop charts.
"According the British newspaper The Sun, bookmaker William Hill has given 17-year-old Lauren Rose a 16-1 shot at having Britain’s best-selling song on December 25."

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Timelies, my Lovelies.
Soooo...Boss just spent several minutes in here telling me about more places we're going to have to start babysitting people & more things that she "asked P to handle, but he didn't, so could I take care of it..." Okay, I'm over the fact that having a slacker co-worker makes me look majorly productive by comparison. Now I just keep saying, "the amount of crap that I have covered for the last few months BETTER be reflected in my annual increase."
Trudy, sorry your sitch is so sucky. Definitely start looking. You don't need excess stress and BS making you even sicker. Better situation SOON-ma.
DJ, much ~ma to Kevin's Mom.
Hmm. Would MM be as entertaining to the rest of us if he wasn't given such awesome raw material to work with? It's hard to know whether to be sympathetic or thankful...
