I forgot to mention that my uncle is going by Gunpa. Yes, as in gun.

eta - Gunpa is not married to Gigi. Different uncle.

I made sure all the other appliances watched, because I want them to know what happens when they get uppity.

You have to set an example.

I'm already thinking about lunch, and have a noon meeting. Should I go get lunch at 11:30, or track down a snack? Hmmm.

Bring lunch to your meeting. Preferably something messy, like ribs.

Yeah, that's a no-go. No food in the meeting!

new note to myself on my desk: meditate on the positive, on accomplishments, on positive goals. Frame things in the positive. What you say and think about expands.

So rather than a list of the F-ups thus far today, here is what I am/have fixing/ed.

2 visitors from head office:
- got swipe cards activated that were not ready when they got here(request was in several days in advance)
- got desk set-up for one visitor both approved and in progress, as it was held up by secondary approver FOR NO GOOD REASON.
- logged helpdesk tix in both US and Ger for one visitor b/c he cannot access the internet from his laptop (known issue that no one let us know about and no one wants to take ownership) I will escalate.

get lunch before. I am also hungry and plan to go get lunch within the half-hour.

I discussed it with my coworker who Gets It, and she recommended snack now, late lunch. Which makes sense.

You know, if those were cheap they would be great to hand out to people who couldn't afford a crib. We had 2 infant deaths last year that they blamed on the infant being in bed with the mother and other children. (I am not sure that this is the cause, as obviously people sleep with their children without them dying all the time!)

My theory is that it is a trap. After you spend $255 dollars on that a team of men in black suits abduct you and force you to go through a sterilization process to make sure you never reproduce again.
