Several comics had to come off of cubicle walls here because the department head got annoyed at people saying nasty things about customers. He felt--with some justification--that it fostered an attitude towards customers that could affect how we treat them directly, and it looked really bad when other department people saw what looked like our attitude. We are known as some of the best support in any IT operation, and locally we have a reputation of being exceedingly picky about who we hire--very few people from the local outsource support sweatshops get hired on here--and the department head wants us to show the kind of professionalism our reputation deserves.
I don't disagree with him, and my customer-nasty cartoons stay at home.
And somehow in skimming down the page, I thought you were saying he was a cross between Dr. Horrible and Sienna Miller...
That's...not outside the realm of possibility, you know.
He does have many parts of the Dr. Horrible outfit, including the goggles.
Taylor just called me for advice. She wanted to know about having blood drawn. It tickles me because even though I haven't talked to her in maybe 6 weeks, clearly I am still someone she feels like she can talk to and trust me to be honest. (Her mom told her it was no big deal, but as Taylor said" But she's had so many surgeries and IVs and stuff, it is no big deal to HER!") She was relieved when I told her it hurt much much less than shots for dental work. Those really traumatized her (understandably.)
She's got a summer internship at Johns Hopkins in radiology and pathology starting in 2 weeks. She's 15. I am SO DAMNED PROUD of that girl and her parents.
Poor Ryan! I hope he gets better soon.
That's...not outside the realm of possibility, you know.
Just Sienna Miller didn't seem like his style icon to me...
Hope Ryan feels better soon. When I was first in Alabama, youngest nephew had the ick and coughed like a seal and was burning up and miserable (diag as bronchitis) and gave me the edge of it. My brother got the full version and basically slept 2 days.
I want these [link] and these [link] and these [link] and these [link] and these [link] and these [link] (though the heel shape gives me pause.)
Stupid budget.
Dear Right Hip:
What did I ever do to you?! Why are you achy?
No love, me.
Huge sandpile across the street explained: [link] I'm happy to see something so community oriented going in there. And that we still have the open fields used as a dog park and youth lacrosse fields open in the NW corner.
Serial posting.... so a work friend is in several bands, one an 80s cover band [link] (not sure if this works.) Anyway, what you can't really tell from the video is that she barely comes up to my shoulder. She's a teeny thing. It never fails to amaze me, the sound that comes out of that tiny lady. She's got a great speaking voice, but the things she does with it singing, from raspy scream to pure melody to out-and-out belting? Is amazing.
