It doesn't sound like a big deal written out. But that's my boss.

No, I get it. Been there.

"If we do Z, things are more efficient and actually work, so I've been doing Z."

"But...shouldn't we wait to start doing Z until we get a feel if, maybe, possibly, somewhere along the line somebody may object to Z?"

"No, because doing it the old way, pre-Z, did. Not. Work."

"I just don't want to upset anyone with Z..."

Like, grow a pair, Boss! Sack up! Z works.

...

I am fucking grumpy today.

No shit you are. You must CHILL.

My boss just asked me to explain how the water cooler works. Like, why doesn't all the water come out?

Being a former engineer, I guess he was curious. Anyway, I explained it to him. Only a slightly annoying diversion from my work. (And depending on what I'm working on, such diversions might be welcome.)

edit for sense....

A lawyer friend of mine now has, as office decor: a 3 point mounted deer head wearing a tie and a lifesize cardboard Cher.

Both of these things are so at odds with her philosophy, taste and career that they are almost perfect representations of how damned quirky she is. I love it.

yes dearheart - wink wink.

I push, I nudge, I shove.

ION - 15 MIN TO LEAVING WHEE!!!!

Awesome news about Grace!

Theo, unless you were leaning over the guy's desk and shaking dandruff out onto it, he was clearly being toolish.

Since I didn't go to the actual site, dunno if it's "real" or not....

I tried!

Kat, I really want to visit you guys this weekend.

Or, you know, reenacting that scene from The Breakfast Club. (Although that would be more cute than unhygienic.)

Relatedly, it makes me sad that my actual cat doesn't get it when I say to him, "OH HAI." Or "O RLY?"

I got some catfood for Amarna yesterday, and while I was pouring the bag out into the Rubbermaid storage container, she was goggle-eyed, and while I took a few minutes to crumple up the bag, she went for the entire container. I quickly put the lid on saying, "Oh, so you're all 'WANT' now, hmmm?" She just gave me a puzzled look and scratched meaningfully at the Rubbermaid.

I tried also ... I have my computer placed so the back of the screen faces the hall, so I don't have to worry about NSFW sites. Got the same message as ita ... but the images on the page linked from here were blatantly Photoshopped, so I get the feeling it's a spoof.
