I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

so quiet in here today.

I am finally getting to that point in this job where I know a few more things about what is going on than annoying know-it-all co-worker who held the position previously. I am not eager to become the holder of knowledge, but it will make it easier to avoid her interference. She is so torn by wanting out of an admin position, but wanting to control things. SO much tension from her this week as I have stood up to her on a teeny tiny minor thing and also seen me answer things she was unaware of. I kinda feel for her, but really just want the lines between our positions to be wider.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Anybody want to run an independent bookstore in rural VA for two months? [link]

I really wish I could drive. I bet I could make some kind of deal with my job, even.

That sounds awesome, too bad I don't get any sabbatical.

If it didn't come with cats, I would be tempted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just had a series of panic attacks on checking my email. The servers we should have access to for project 1, we don't. The storage space for project 1 looks like the wrong storage space. Suddenly we need Java expertise on project 1 and we have none. Project 2 starts on the same servers as project 1 a week before project 1 ends, and my boss has just compressed 7 months of work to be delivered by Christmas. I'm on the record as thinking the risk is too high, but shit...I don't care who we're hiring...that's too much.

I need to do some biofeedback exercises to calm my ass down. But...jesus. The CIO told us to take 7 months.

I just sent an "OMG, freakout" email to my manager, but I don't know if that's enough, because I need to use her as an escalation path. My word isn't being counted as important here. I need to know if I'm alone in this POV, in which case--alone. Suck it up.
