[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Oh, Nora. I hate those meetings. I still twitch when I think about the time one of my more asshat supervisors said that he'd been irritated all year that I didn't bring my calendar to meetings. I didn't see any need for it, because I knew my immediate schedule and I'd put any dates in my notes and enter them in Outlook. I, on the other hand, had been irritated all year that he was the last person in the department not using the Outlook calendar system, which had made him miss several important meetings.
He was the same supervisor whom I would ask for help, since I had had an ever-growing website added to my existing duties, and he's say, "Well, everyone's plate is pretty full." Then when something was late a few weeks later, he'd say, "Why didn't you ask for help?"

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
I just sent my boss an email thanking him for his feedback, appreciating the fact that he continued to hold the conversation with me while I was in tears, and offering to start the new year early by readjusting my attitude to expectations as of today.
Basically, the only thing I really meant was the thing about continuing conversation while I was crying, but I hope the other two will help me, in a "fake it till I make it" kind of way.

"fake it till I make it"
A key to getting through this. It sucks, but it's real.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds like a good response, Nora. Good luck.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Anyway I write this here in the hopes that one of you has a site you use for work that you LOVE?
java, we use Accellion, and it's pretty great, especially if you want your files to be secure. It will shred the fuck out of them after fourteen days.
But it's not like YouSendIt where you can just go to the website and use it; they set up a company-specific secure file transfer site for us. Which is easy to use.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Hang in there, Nora. Put on that cheery grin!!!!
