Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
REQUIRED EXPERIENCE: 2 yrs being dicked around about the status of the very job described herein.
While doing that job.
If there are other people who have SPECIFIC EXPERIENCE of disposal of that thing you work on, I will be sort of amazed.
I mean, I once saw an academic job posted where they wanted someone who could teach latin and greek and also knew Chinese archaeology, and they found a person, but still.
Budget Motivation - If I cut back our eating out budget by one-half, that will cover our hotel room for 5 days by the time we take the trip. Clearly, we have been out-of-control in that area.
My favorite xkcd is the "You're a Kitty!" ridiculous things you say to cats one, very closely followed by Click & Drag. There are other good ones but I can't find the links at the moment.
ION, I just interviewed a new realtor. He is going to send me a marketing report in a day or two.
Relatively speaking, hooray, I guess.
That sounds about right.
Went out at lunch and bought cupcakes: left one on my boss's desk.

Suela, you are a good person with the cupcake thanks. I'm glad they fixed your posting. Just. Ohmigod. Still sending jobma.
In incompetent coworker news....
Two weeks ago, they moved one of my classes to a colleague to teach it as an auxiliary. They were then supposed to create a class in my 3rd period as honors lit. I have an awesome and exciting curriculum for it and am stoked about teaching it. I gave them a list of kids and then... nothing.
Today I came into work because I thought they have not filled the class yet. I have no students. I'll leave and go home at 12:00 since I don't feel 100%. But no. They GAVE ME STUDENTS TODAY. But not all of them. Just 9. So I'm babysitting and still not teaching.
This issue could and should have been resolved before school started, when I pointed the issue out. It's been 7 weeks. GROWL!
Also, I'm with Steph. My fave is Someone is Wrong on the Internet.
