Wash ,'The Message'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I have discovered why these red pants were in that section of my closet. Hem issues.
If I were ultra-handy super-fashion woman I'd have fabric tape on me, but instead I have medical tape, so I'm making do.
On the up side, red pants! These are so not me. These are totally my sister.
SQL's coming along. The dreaming was actually useful, although even at the time I was wondering how I was putting each TV show into query format. But it worked then, and what I'm doing is working now.
In annoying IT-ish news. A while ago my company eliminated banner sheets on our print jobs and made it so anything we sent to the printer got held in a queue until we walked over to the printer and released it. The thought being that we would save paper and folks wouldn't accidentally walk off with your print job.
Instead it is a honking waste of time. I don't normally print much, but I have had to create a document binder this week and OMG, the amount of time I have spent standing next to the printer. Even if I try to get it printing and then make tea or run to the restroom, it isn't enough. Grrrrrrr.
How do you know it's your job you're releasing? Can you jump ahead in line if someone's assing around and not paying attention to their stuff? That would drive me nuts.
Hell, it would drive me nuts just as you describe it. Have you been having a problem with people leaving with your stuff?
Right now our local printer prints a blank sheet in front of every print job. Major environmental fail.
The printer has a little screen with a menu, we go to "retrieve" and then our username shows up with the number of print jobs, so we can print "on demand", even pick and choose which jobs to print or print all.
Without the banner sheets, it is way to easy for someone to not notice that your one page thing is at the back of their 30 page document. So we save paper, but waste a TON of time.
I'm falling asleep at my desk. This isn't cool. I actually had a good night's sleep last night. The caffeine isn't working.
Anybody else having trouble getting in to gmail?
My gmail's working fine, Hil. Just got one a second ago.
Hmm. All morning, the site hasn't been loading for me.
Isn't Mooshu a doggy? I is confused.
Yep. I is the confuzzled one.
This has been quite the week. It's State Standardized Testing week and the kids have gone 'round the bend. Beginning the day with 2.5 hours of testing for 4 days straight? Not good.
And, on Friday I somehow got an alien baby large lump on my wrist that hurt like a mother f-er. I went to the doc on Monday thinking it was a ganglion cyst only to discover it was an infection that started to spread up my arm. I'm on antibiotics and it seems to be taking care of the infection and shrinking the alien baby lump. Which is good otherwise doc said I would have been put in the hospital yesterday.
Dear IT help desk guy,
Seriously? You think telling people who call because the system is displaying a note that they won't have access to Outlook for 105 minutes to just relax is a good idea? Especially when you know there are surveys going out after each call to see how happy we were with the service?
Seriously?
Which is good otherwise doc said I would have been put in the hospital yesterday.
Ah, stealth infections, such fun.
