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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

I hate that shit. The rumor here was that we were going to find out earlier in the week, but at least they told us first thing this morning. It was always like that at my old job: "OK, you can leave.... now!" Sucks for plan-making.
I am unreasonably proud of myself for bringing my lunch.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Every time this software does anything - anything at all - it sends me an email. The email is completely uninformative. "Started workitem", "Delegated workitem", "Generated PDF", useless because it doesn't tell me WHICH ONE. I have 108 articles in various stages of editing/production right now, and no way to tell which one these emails correspond to. I have 92 emails right now, that came in within the last ten hours, none of which are useful in the least. Even better, all of these little notices are also sent to my workflow management "inbox", with not much more info. Each one is marked with red flag as if it were urgent. What kind of demented software developer marks things that can be deleted without even being read with a red flag?
I'm tired. If anyone here thinks I'm working for one minute during this 3-day weekend, they're bananas.
