I just spent my entire appraisal meeting trying to figure out (with my boss) how the hell our new online appraisal system works. It's improved by an order of magnitude over LAST year's online appraisal system, but still pretty fricking clunky and unintuitive. This is why my objectives are also listed in an Excel spreadsheet.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy birthday, Sean!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I am so annoyed at the web forms at work that, after you fill them out, require you to attach a spreadsheet or word document for additional info, that could have just been put in the web firm in the first place.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
At my mother's job, they got a new electronic expense form, to reduce paper -- that they have to print out and submit with their receipts. Good times.
I am eating my brought lunch! And have wasted most of the day so far, aside from a couple of strategic emails!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Strange things are afoot at the conference room next door to me. I'm kind of regretting getting up this morning.

I came in super late today (not until 11:00!!), but will probably leave around 5:00 (which is early, comparatively speaking).
tommyrot, I heard about that Toledo Strip war on the History Channel's show called "How the States Got Their Shapes," which is actually pretty informative in a casually presented way.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am eating my brought lunch!
I packed my lunch and forgot to bring it. Am flake. Am also way behind status report. Blargh. Bad Friday. Bad, bad Friday.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
We were supposed to be sent home at noon (accorsing to my boss and a cow-orker), but there is no email yet. It is 12:22.
I finally just went ahead and went to lunch because I was so hungry

Ann, that's a ferret.
Best wishes for your family, ita.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've done that. Occasionally I've left my lunch on the counter at home, which meant I had to throw it away when I got home after work.
