Ouch, sara. I wish you speedy healing.
I just learnt that fleshbot has been sold.
Good god, it's hideous now. And I say that as someone who wholeheartedly despises the gawker re-design. This is worse. It looks like a trashy porn site. And Lux isn't trashy. I'll kinda miss those naked kids. But I don't want to work out how to navigate that.
OMG, I just remembered the rope course we did at my now defunct MI employer. There was one guy who was stunningly bad. Like, he must have been doing it on purpose level of bad. So everyone mocked him. So worth flying 3000 miles for team building exercises so we could dump shit on him.
We also did team-building through improv.
Who the
FUCK
think improv builds good business team skills? Good god, the sniping and the backstabbing and shit that improv got me used to...oh.
Goddamnit, sara. I'm sorry. If you need me to do anything for you tomorrow, let me know.
oh OW, sara!! I'm around all week if you need anything.
It's comically, painfully ridiculous. I'll be fine. Just bored. I do have to call in for a couple meetings. My screen tolerance is much better than last time, but I just can't look at a screen for more that a few seconds. I mean, this time I can drive.
You know those blinks when you eye is sealed tight and there is actually a bit of pressure pop when you open the lid (often when you wake up or if you've screwed your eyes tight shut)? Apparently that was sufficient to pull the scarred tissue open.
Maria, I am quite relieved on your behalf.
I don't want to send you away, sara, but should you be at a computer right now? Or will you go nuts if you aren't?
Ok, mr. flea has spent at least 4 hours on the phone with our mortgage company in the last 2 weeks, trying to get them to fix their error of paying $4000 from our escrow account to a random GA county we've never even been to; this error has made them raise our payment by 30% to "refill" the escrow account. Their current solution is for us to pay them extra now, and they'll cut us a check for a refund of the extra we pay. Sometime. Possibly in May. Any thoughts on how we can escalate beyond the phone bank manager? It's US Bank. I hate them so much.
I look at the screen with only one eye. In bursts and I look away before there is any strain. I can blather but can't really do any work because that involves being able to study output. Conversation is different than analysis.
I heard an enormous and long rumble and crashing from upstairs. I go to investigate. Trashcan from the bedroom is upright and reeling and is now in the hall. Bathroom rug rucked up. Pumpkin is in the laundry basket in the spare room.
I keep the laundry basket in my bedroom, around the corner and down the hall past the bathroom. This cat.
flea, have you been asking to talk to everyone's supervisor on up the chain? Or do they refuse? Can you threaten to sic a lawyer or the BBB or something on them? Go into the bank and refuse to leave until they deal with your issue? No idea.
I am on hold trying to get Apple to allow FedEx to hold my iPad at a FedEx until I get home (currently not allowed), and not keep trying to deliver it and eventually sending it back!! (OK, they answered and apparently know what I"m talking about and will do it)
oh, ugh, flea. I would just keep on asking to talk to a person who can fix the error that they made. If there is a branch where you can go in to talk to someone face to face that might be good. So ridiculous!!
I made expensive, local, grassfed steaks tonight that I've been saving for a while and I freaking overcooked them. Tragic! I need to learn how to cook meat more accurately. Honestly, they were still tasty but I feel terrible about it!
