GUYS! STOP THIS IMMEDIATELY.

You know how I said my boss tore into me last week? He asked the other day if he'd been upset. I said "Yeah, totally. Me and A went off and cried."

And he looked at me kinda weird, so I confess there had been no crying, but yeah, we thought he was mad.

He didn't apologise (which I don't feel he needs to), just said that he was being serious about the news he felt had just been sprung on him. Which was...I don't want to see him mad.

I am avoiding him right now, although I owe him $20. The current main project of mine just got delayed by at least one extra month, and he takes the fiscal hit for that. And that's my fault, more than it is...no, it's my responsibility. I swear it's totally not my fault. But I am not passing any bucks, and that stings.

I'd really like this week to end though. For everyone, in a good way.

Oh, hey--speaking of good--I want her day: [link]

Those are no good days, msbelle and Kat.

Protip: When the guy across the aisle says "OMG! We've all been waiting for you on the conference call!" he's probably lying if he's not actually on the phone. And the meeting's not scheduled to start for another hour--those are the tells.

He's managed to convince everyone but me that we had a meeting at 2:30 and everyone missed it.

This should not be as amusing as it is.

Sorry about all the suck.

and

Neilmed" = squeezy bottle?

Yeah squeeze bottle. Neilmed is late into Neti pot market. Squeeze bottle is their speciality.

It is so hot, that someone's iphone refused to work

Oh, hey, I've seen that message.

Ugh, msbelle.

I have managed to misplace one of the parts I ordered to fix my swamp cooler's water connection. I had it in my hand and thought to myself "I don't need to bring this to the hardware store [to get still more parts, natch]", but where did I put it then?

I suggest trolling a sibling in order to lift your spirits. It's doing wonders for me.

Timelies all!

Sorry you've had crappy days, Kat and msbelle.

I mentioned a while back that my lab was shutting down due to various factors. I updated my cv and sent it to the appropriate person in my division, who sent it out. I've had a few interviews since January, and the last one(beginning of June) worked out for me. Upshot is that as of the last week of July I have a new job.

Its going to be a challenge, as my new boss is starting up her first lab, so she'll be relying on me a lot for running things.(Not to mention being the voice of experience. Eep!)

Yay, Sheryl! I hope the challenge turns out to be the good kind.

Found the missing part in a stupid place. Have reassembled the waterline.

I don't want any of the food I have, and I don't want to go out.

I just went out. I don't recommend it.

Freaking dog. (And she's all jumping around in the 102 like "ooh! best idea ever!" And I'm all "you are a crazy person, we are going back inside.") Fortunately opposable thumbs win again.
