Friends with Benefits!!!!

And lunches were delivered to the wrong address. And the off-site people started eating the meal for Big Boss's meeting. And I assumed I had put in the wrong addres because I am the queen of the small mistakes and not paying attention to detail. I sped to get secondary lunch, bring it back over to Big Boss's meeting and hope pary pray hope there are the right # of sandwiches and that he does not flip out that lunch is only snadwiches and then I start bawlling because I am not allowed to make mistakes and already have a written warning in my file from the last 30 days. BUT I DID NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE, I just checked the order and the delivery was just wrong. And then I realize I do not want to be a person who flips out at a delivery guy and gets him fired becuase he went to the secondary site of a company instead of the primary site,because iT IS A LUNCH!!? Not a cure for cancer. ANd then I realize I work for a guy who likes to create this work environment for his underlings and that is an a.sshole move.

Ack, msbelle. I hope you can get out of there ASAP.

Happy birthday, Kat!

Happy birthday, Kat!

They are friends! It's grooming!

He's deciding on a seasoning. Don't be naive.

There's a guy on IO9 calling me names because I keep asking him how the pre-1913 change of the word "actor" to be gender-neutral is a reflection of political correctness gone amok, and he's just furious with me. Some people are peculiar. Unfortunately for him, he's also funny.

When I woke up this morning, I was really pissed that my alarm went off. Every bone I had was convinced it was Saturday. It took me a good ten minutes to not be mad anymore.

And I'm so exhausted during the days. I did work late yesterday, but not so late that falling asleep at my desk made sense. And I stopped on my way home to wake myself up more for safer driving.

Does that help my insomnia? Not a whit.

Am I falling asleep again? Even earlier today.

I just emailed HR for a meeting.

I mean I get I am not bringing in the healthiest emotional state to any day of work, but I should not be scared of losing my job at any moment. I am not that bad of an admin.

What kind of asshole wants his employees to cry? The kind msbelle needs to get the F away from, ASAP.

Glen Greenwald on Chic-Fil-A and free speech. [link]

From the article:

Obviously , it’s perfectly legitimate for private citizens to decide not to patronize a business with executives who have such views (I’d likely refrain from doing so in this case). Beyond that, if a business is engaging in discriminatory hiring or service practices in violation of the law — refusing to hire gay employ ees or serve gay patrons in cities which have made sexual orientation discrimination illegal — then it is perfectly legitimate to take action against them.

But that is not the case here; the actions are purely in retribution against the views of the business’ top executive on the desirability of same-sex marriage:

After reading the following, I think keeping Chick-fil-A out of Boston and preventing more from opening in Chicago is a good thing:

Memo To The Media And The Ambivalent: Chick-fil-A Condemns, Discriminates, And Campaigns Against LGBT People

One quote:

Chick-fil-A has given at least $5 million to anti-gay organizations, including known hate groups and proponents of ex-gay therapy, since 2003, including almost $2 million in both 2009 and 2010.

If a community is opposed to discrimination, isn't that enough reason to keep Chick-fil-A out?

Yuck msbelle. Sending you many hugs.

I have no motivation to do anything. There are things to be done, mind you, I just have no motivation.

Sorry your day is Clusterfucky, msbelle.

You should declare it the Clusterfuckiest and take a detached but focused attitude to fix what you can when you can. Get Zen, baby! 'Cuz it's the Clusterfuckiest.

Happy birthday, Kat! Cupcakes!

Maker Faire Detroit: The Girl Who Plays with Fieros Interview

So cool. I had to share that with certain Rookie editors, and Matilda's Aunt Angela who got burned out doing counseling with at-risk teens so took a training course and worked as a car mechanic for a couple years.

Happy birthday, Kat!!!

And msbelle, I'm sorry your day is the clusterfuckysuckiest. DO NOT WANT.
