This chick is exhausting me. Lead developer on my primary platform has moved back to India, so although he still works for us, he can no longer be lead, because he's in the wrong timezone to deal with issues. Replacement developer has zero initiative. In the middle of my worst working week on record, she's forcing me to hand hold her through all sorts of troubleshooting efforts I've also never done before. She's the one who had plenty of knowledge transfer before the old lead left. But she never does anything, unless I suggest she does it. No sense of urgency or that she's the only one working on anything. Driving me bonkers. This would be irritating at the best of times, but it's getting on my last nerve right now.

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

And that's it. What a frelling waste of many people's time.
Oh I've lived this. I'm so sorry Consuela. It should feel good that BigPeople liked it, but mostly it feels smacky that stupid won.
Also, Cash - I was sitting on my hands watching your fbook convo. I wanted to say that anyone who didn't immediately pony up $250k for each and every 'save' they make - to pay for school, food, medical and dental care through high school, strikes me as lacking conviction.
ETA - DOH, thank you Smonster for the clue. Don't post and try to get a 7yo to brush her teeth at the same time, is the lesson here.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
(psst, Sox, that was Consuela, not Cash)

Yeah, it's just dumb. I spent all that time on it, and then someone said "No." Not, "Fix this and it's okay," but just "No."
This organization, I swear. Argh.

OMG, I just got excited about my plans to be driving again by NEXT MONDAY. And then I realised it's only Tuesday today.
Sadface.
Still, I now have enough groceries, because Polgara gave me a lift, and the worst I'll run out of will only mean ordering in dinner. And I *swear* I cannot find simple delivery groceries near here. Which is not the cue for anyone, especially bon to pointedly give me links. I have started down the Von's path more than once. I just...keep balking. It never seems to be straightforward or even vaguely economical enough for what I want.
