Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sigh. Still makes me teary.
Oh, Wallace. Sigh is right.
While on speaker phone, my boss, who is not necessarily a quiet person, will often lower her voice to the point where you can barely hear her in the room. Oy. I've now explained this to several people, because they're always like, "Can you move the phone closer??" Oh, the phone's close. She's just whispering.

ita has a 90-minute conference call/meeting every single day? The SAME meeting? Egads.

that's a little too much like Groundhog Day for my liking.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, it is the same meeting but it's not always 90 minutes. Today it went on for 2hrs and 40 minutes. I'm so glad I was working from home. Not only could I get work done, but there's no way I wouldn't be visibly sleeping in that conference room. Jaysus.

This does not improve my feeling about the meeting.

Ouch.
Performance review went well. Kind of staggeringly good commentary in my end-of-year, really. And the things I got dinged on were a) small and b) fair cops, so I can't complain. 5% boost in salary and bonus eligibility for next year, which is actually cool given the industry and the economy. And my bonus for this year is actually more than double my "target" (which is actually on the small side since I bargained that away for more salary when I came here).

I have more gold in my mouth than I do gold jewelry. This strikes me as funny. (I don't know if I have any gold jewelry.)
Yay, brenda!
I'm kinda in a bad mood born of disagreeing with the boss. It's my job to make the call and I'm very much a "rip that bandaid off" or "just get it all done at once" and they...aren't. But 3 < 4 days. It just is. So saying that 4 is of less impact just isn't true.

yeah, I called my insurance company to insure the new 'puter ($8/year for $3k in coverage, nice). They told me that I was only covered for jewelry loss for up to $1000, did I need more? Har.
