Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Happy Birthday, Tom!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Happy Birthday Scola! May it be a great day and an excellent year!

My DH came home from Oxford and redeemed himself somewhat by bringing me a copy of Skullduggery Pleasant: The End of the World.

Woo! It's fun, and did A Thing that I didn't expect, so props for that.

Happy Birthday, Tom!

I'm annoyed: I have a mandatory 9AM staff meeting at the other offices, several miles away. And then I have another meeting there at 2:30PM. Every time I go there it's a major hassle and I usually end up waiting outside for the shuttle for 45 minutes or so.

Today, I think I am going to drive, even if I have to pay for parking at some point, it's just not worth the hassle factor. Cannot wait until they move the rest of the division to my building.

It's official, my new overlords are micromanagers. We're supposed to now submit a weekly report of our planned objectives and report on how we accomplished them. Which is fine, except that this is going to the director that's three levels removed from me. The director also sent an email saying that if we're absent, we're supposed to go back and mark it in calendars which she has access to...which has not been our practice. I'm sure it will be fine, but it chafes.

Happy Birthday, Tom!

And this will allow her to go back in time to notify her past self and re-plan her day's objectives accordingly?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Happy Birthday Man with the Awesome Smile!

I'm sure it will be fine, but it chafes.

Yesterday I went back to the office after being out for 3 days last week, and discovered that in prep for a bigwig visit, my manager had gone in and neatened up my office and cleaned one of the counter tops which had gotten some scuffs that nothing seemed to get off, except for this stuff she found which did get them off. Unfortunately the stuff she found is stuff I'm allergic to.

ION, am I wrong, or is this pup obese?

Right??

All these added layers of crap are just making me feel that I need to get out of here. I am, however, terrible at planning/exit strategies. Which is why I have somehow made a profession out of something I thought was going to be temporary. I need some kind of life coach.
