Yeah, I don't usually mind the commute to work near as much as the commute home on bad weather days.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

we are only expecting an inch of snow. It's been really cold (for NYC), but we are so lucky to be dodging the snow.

We're supposed to get some light snow after midnight tonight. If the roads are bad, i can walk to work, but I'm driving if it's just cold.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do you work for New Guy?
He's the project manager for the project I'm business analyst on. Since I have PM experience, I'm also his backup. I'm happy enough to take his place in meetings, etc, but actually scheduling them is borderline, and when it's for stuff he wants to talk about and can't be arsed to make? Plain irritating.

Had to go and get Chinese for lunch today, just so that I could have scallion pancakes.

he seems to be asking you to do his admin stuff, which pings me becuase the female PMs seem expected to do more of that here than the males.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What's the original end date for your contract, Jesse?
Jan 31.

I no longer want to eat what I brought for lunch. I want a salad.

That's totally true. Women, regardless of their role, are expected to take on administrative tasks. I loved that moment in Mad Men when Roger said "Peggy, can you get me some coffee?" and she simply replied "No."

Yeah, I'm setting up another meeting for him right now. At least this one I am sure he'll attend, because the boss is going to be at it. Maybe I should schedule it for 8am...
And I had to remind him to cancel a meeting for today. I don't want his position, even though I interviewed for it. I just don't see how he's coping with it properly.
