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.
I'm having chili for lunch, and it's a little spicy to eat by itself. I'll need to remember to get Fritos before I eat the rest!
I've been running my bedroom humidifier all winter, and it's definitely helped with the chronic sore throat, but it's still deeply weird to be voluntarily adding water to the atmosphere. The kettle on the fireplace doesn't seem to do anything, however. Which is kind of good, I guess, in a less heat-loss out of the top, more heat coming out the front where it will warm me up kind of way.
Ooh, chili. Maybe I'll go to Hale & Hearty today.
Looks like Fat Chance Belly Dance, juliana.
it is! I will send you the Groupon email.
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 pretty careful not to take on stuff like travel arrangements that have nothing to do with my role. I see some of my junior team members jumping on that stuff trying to be uber helpful and I cringe. It's not an easy habit to break someone of and it creates expectations that are even harder to shake.
I know I'm a little late re: the commute conversation. But I have to vent: it took me two hours and fifteen minutes to get to Denver this am. One hour for the first 70 miles and another 1:15 for the last 15.
The only good in that is that it has mostly cured the pining I had been doing for a particular job up here.
Yeah, on days like today I'm glad I don't drive to work. I've read that trips on the expressway that normally take 30 minutes are taking 2 hours.
