Spike ,'Touched'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Gah. Someone is trying to throw me under the bus for their own failures on a project we just wrapped up. This person is a known trouble-maker, and she's got a reputation for hogging credit while pointing fingers, but still...
I was finally relaxed enough to start being able to feel happy about what we achieved this week, and she had to go and pull this stunt. I was feeling down anyhow, and starting to pull out of it, and now this...
We're at the airport with a couple hours to spare.
have a great trip, sj!
Safe travels, sj!
Grits:
Anne, I think your cow-irker and Consuela's should be consigned to having to work together.
Uggh, Anne, that sucks so much. I get so irritated by people who act like that, it's like they got stalled out in their development and are now acting like my neighbor's 6-year-old (who has learned to lie if he thinks it will get him out of trouble). Let's all be grownups and own our own mistakes, shall we? At least if she already has a rep, it shouldn't be too tough to re-aim the bus, right? In the meanwhile, do you have anyone you can vent to? I sometimes go to my boss' office and close the door and just tell her outright that I don't expect her to "fix it" but that I need to vent for a minute. I usually feel better, plus then my boss is apprised of the sitch if the blame-shifters keep trying to aim my way.
Anyway, I hope you get ice cream or chips or a good TV show or some knitting or whatever will help you have a bit of peace for the evening. And that tomorrow things will be better.
Bon voyage, sj & TCG!

This morning, his mummy asked him if he had a stinky nappy, and he attempted to shift the blame to the animals on his Baby Einstein DVD.
Sorry about the work unpleasantness, Anne.
Brane! Tired! Words! Escaped! Glut of punctuation! Send help.

Oh, Ryan, even your devious is heavy-laden with cute.
So, we didn't win. Sadface. But we totally should have!! We really truly had the best pitch, and slides, and I tossed out a few glass bead necklaces at the end! I didn't even want to win until tonight, and now I really wish we had. But the president of a local recycling company came up to me and gave me his card, and we're going to set up a meeting with him. I don't know how the hell we'll have time to make this happen, but we're going to try! (The winning idea involved people trading unwanted beads for bathroom tokens along the parade route, and I gave her my contact info and told her I'd help her since I have green event experience.)
