Actually, Ed McMahon died earlier this week, didn't he?
That would make Mr. Magic Fingers t moment of silence #4.
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You should totally leave early! Unless there's some "coverage" issue... I have worked in places that believed it was important to have certain bodies in certain seats at certain times, even when it was bullshit. Like in an office where everyone had a direct phone line, so even if someone did call my boss when I was in and he wasn't, it really didn't matter. And yet! He wanted me there. Meh.

I was sure I read about the Magic Fingers guy earlier in the week. Maybe it was yesterday morning. The whole day did feel a week long.
ETA: He died last Wednesday. The date on the attached in June 20th [link]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I can't leave early - Tom Jones On Happiness Island is playing on the big TVs, and I can't look away. At least not until the speedo boat scene.
[And hey, here's 30 seconds of it on YouTube so you can all see what I'm seeing: [link] ]

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
my boss is gone and I can probably leave as soon as I want, but I really need to get like 5 more things done. WAH!

I've done some email cleanup and misc., and I have a small project I should really just get done, but I don't want to! I have until the end of the day Monday, so it just feels non-urgent for sure.

I'm covering my department's help desk today, so I'm here for another 2.5 hours. But hey, there's AC, caffeine, and broadband, so I'm pretty ok with it.

I am not at work, but have work angst. HR is prepared to make an offer to the person we picked, but they lowered the salary by about $6K, and will be offering less than what she's making at her current job. The big boss is unwilling to fight them on this at this point, because he says they've done him a few favors lately and he doesn't want to press for more.
So I'm mad because I don't think she should have to pay for the favors HR did for him, and I'm wondering if it's kosher for me to get word to the candidate through the backchannel of mutual acquaintances that she should ask for more money (it's there in the budget, and the Dean is okay with it, so don't ask me why HR gets to call the shots).

I would do that, Sparky. Most subtly, you could encourage mutual acquaintances to remind the candidate about what a good idea it is to negotiate your salary.
But hey, there's AC, caffeine, and broadband, so I'm pretty ok with it.
Yeah, I'm definitely most grateful to have a full-time desk job in the summer! Due to having heat but not central air where I live.
