Where I work I know most people's faces and names now because they walk by my desk all the time. I can't tell where anyone's office is but I know them

I don't know people who work upstairs in the other building.

Also there's a lot of gossip and stuff that goes on in the reception area. We don't have people walking in off the streets so I've found stuff I out I shouldn't have known.

Well we get a lot of solicitor's who ignore our No Soliciting Sign and then get pissed when I tell them they have to leave.

I so don't want to drive in to work tomorrow morning. The roads will be a mess still. I don't teach on Thursdays, but I've got a meeting I need to go to in the morning.

Quester--I don't think you have to change yourself, you simply have to change a few of your behaviors. A coach could help you pinpoint specific things to work on--eye contaqct, tone of voice, smiling, whatever, and you will be able to freaking ace the workplace without changing who you are inside.

Hil, maybe you'll get lucky and it will be cancelled. I have a 3PM meeting tomorrow, but I can walk there.

Well, have a short-term temp job at the Airport, telling people where the bathroom is. I train tomorrow and then I work, not this weekend, but next weekend.

I fear I will not be able to cover the bills again. I need to remember to go to the Unemployment Office and see if I can file for last week. Oh, joy.

Dear ex-neighbor: after you sic your lawyer on me for not being proactive with dealing with my crazy tenant, do not be surprised that when I do say something to her about your complaints (and in a mild way, seriously) she goes insane on you. Did you think I was ignoring her just to annoy you? Apparently so.

Nora, I'm sorry you're dealing with so much crap.

Vortex, I hope the job shift is okay in the long run despite your trepidation. A bad boss can be murder, I know.

Just on a whim I stuck a yogurt in the freezer and now I've got something quite like strawberry banana kulfi. Frosty goodness!

Condo suckfest continues. Just crossing everything that the crazy lady living there leaves as planned.

GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!!!

This is what I was trying to say.

Oof. Well, a chance to practice those skills, I guess.

Nora, did the Tenant go crazy on the neighbor or Sid the lawyer? First I read it as the lawyer and was impressed. Then I realized you probably meant the tenant. Sorry b
