'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Ouch Consuela. Is your resume ready?
ita - I have been trying to kill time between now and SPN by cruising Provacateuse. Which has lead me to wish you had a weapons grouping. Oh, and there is a shot in Moneyball where Pitt is covering his face with one hand and that covers the whole screen. Want.
Enough of my shallow musings.
~ma to Daniel, Maria's DH, and everyone who is in need.
Took me and S. doing it together four tries to pick the pit, and my first try was the Bull Terrier.
Consuela, I hope you can find something excellent as soon as you're ready. Your office sounds just awful.
Skipped ahead for a quick question: Do I watch Supernatural or Fringe live? I have no recording capability so I have to catch up on the web. What would you watch?
Ugh, David. Suckola.
Also ugh, Consuela.
Tom, I deleted and reposted your Good Stuff so the picture will show up on people's dashboards.
How should I be submitting those?
When you go to submit, do you click where it says "Submit a text post"? There you can pick "Submit a photo," and I think that would do it.
That is a pile of suck, Hec. I'm sorry.
Likewise, I'm sorry things are screwed up at work, Consuela.
Successful dinner experiment: chorizo, potato, onion, red pepper, arugula, and apple. Yum.
Dana, that sounds delicious!
Maria, SO SO SO glad about the news.
Kathy, woah. yikes.
Perkins, are you going to be in the bay area on October 16? Wanna have dinner?
Your office sounds just awful.
Well, I can't say it's fabulous, but I've definitely worked in worse places. It's just that there seems to be no real commitment in the organization as a whole to manage staff as people rather than widgets.
I finally made a pitch in a meeting today to have a once-a-quarter teleconference of all the environmental staff, because otherwise nobody ever knows what anyone else is doing, and that can get really quite dangerous. Like, litigation-risk dangerous. Happily, my suggestion was agreed to immediately and if it isn't followed-up, I'm going to push it hard.
The sense I have of the organization is that, for all the reorganizations and everything, it's ossified. Oh, and ridiculously territorial. Everyone's more afraid of losing some of their power/position/people than they are committed to making the organization more successful. Which is just sad.
