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.
What is wrong with me!?! I have 2 blog posts to write (and not boring ones either!) but I am avoiding doing them by combing through the QA site to check the next release.
Brain does not feel like being creative and instead wants to do nitpicky stuff. OH NOES! Someone has replaced my brain.
I need to ask Boss if I can work from home this afternoon. Head is not responding to sumatriptan. Technically it's not allowed for consultants, but maybe I can get dispensation. I'd like to try again after a nap. Otherwise I just bail and no work gets done and I go unpaid.
I woke up with a bad sinus headache and am staying home.
Gopod bless Mayor Mike Haeg for uploading this incredible video of a 1975 artists' soapbox derby in San Francisco.
Wackiness! In San Francisco!
Sorry to hear that, ita, and I hope they let you.
I hate the special rules for contractors. Sometimes I feel like I'm doing my job with a handicap. We don't get onboarded, we don't have full access to systems, can't WFH, hell, I don't have some calendar privileges.
1) People who were to send me layered files so my team can create a graphic for them, sent everything in black and white. It is due Monday for placement next Tuesday.
2) The release hasn't been deployed in QA yet, so I'm back to having to write the 2 blog posts.
3) Please post more!
Boss has just said it's okay! Oh, god I'm outie, as my sister would say.
Yeah, people who are full time here get pretty liberal work from home policy. I think Boss is relaxing on what he'll let us consultants do--it's a matter of trust.
Biggest handicap we have is that as contractors we don't have admin access to our PCs, so we can't install random new apps. Not even quicktime, for crying out loud. Yet, Opera and Firefox. But it really got in the way of getting my laptop work-ready.
My boss is liberal about it, but company makes her fill out a billion forms to allow me to do anything. VPN requires a lot of paperwork, so I don't ask to work from home.
OH HOLY GOD, now they've sent a power point presentation for the designers to make graphics out of!
I want to go to there.
I love you, Jess.
Did you know that some people are proposing that we send people to Mars... to stay? For the rest of their lives?
Where do I sign up?
Ha! They made a point of saying they were sending over font files as well.
This font they apparently had to send us? Helvetica.
