What are you doing this weekend, SUCKERS?!@?!

Farmer's Market, Yard Sales, and George's Island. [link]

Okay, out of the dozen people who work on my floor, I am the only one here! Supposedly two others are at meetings, but I am suspicious of one of those. (she often books meetings and goes out for long lunches.) This is not inspiring me to get work done, but I have to revise some guidelines by the end of the day, because I am off on Monday.

Bravo, JZ!

JZ for the win.

I have a long ongoing work saga that seems to be ending in a fail.

there is a copier/printer that is supposed to double side print. The ONLY printer than can do so for us. Using the setting for double side printing on the computer, however, does not get you double sided copies.

I have reported it. Been told it is fixed. Tried again to no success. Reported it again. Been ignored. Asked on status. Was just told that the help line was going to be provided to ME since apparently the person whose job it is CAN'T MANAGE IT!!!

Go JZ! Also, your reasoning about your staying power cracks me up.

sigh ... there was a major power failure this morning and, while my office building's generator had one elevator running and we had the "emergency" lights, we had no phone or computer service. So - bad worker bee that I am - I was hoping that the power would stay off so I could get an early start on my weekend. No, the lights came on and everything's working ... except the people who gave up on trying to get in. BUT! we do have a/c, so I can survive!

What are you doing this weekend, SUCKERS?!@?!

Pretty much nothing, and I like it. Hopefully seeing a few movies I haven't been able to get to (Iron Man, The Fall, maybe Indy 4) and house cleaning.

I should have added "FUCKOS!" in honor of Rio (who I also miss).

I'm waiting to see if I need to go to work tomorrow.

Go JZ! Also, your reasoning about your staying power cracks me up.

Your turn will come. In the next two or so years, you'll find yourself looking at, probably not the worst of your students, but the average misbehavers, and privately rolling your eyes and thinking, "Last night I had someone scream so long and so hard he threw up all over my lap because I didn't want him to go to bed with his shoes on. Your little snit is very...little."

Dude. I have a toddler and I'm step-parenting a pre-adolescent. I am used to not only saying the same thing in cheerful robotic tones for hours on end, I'm used to doing so while being wept and snotted on, audibly sneered at, and having tiny heels drummed into my kidneys. You're no toddler and definitely no preadolescent boy. Believe me, you will get tired of hearing the same thing over and over LONG before I get tired of saying it. Don't even try to outlast me.

Haha - suck it, DP! Mom FTW!
