You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

I miss ita.

Me too. Whoever's in touch with her, please let her know that we're thinking of her and sending her good vibes.

Good luck Tom!

Since December, one of my coworkers retired, they announced and hired and filled his position. And I'm still waiting for "my" spot to be announced. WTF. My boss says it's because that other job is in a different division, with a competent HR person, but our HR person isn't. He'd asked to switch HR reps, and been refused.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good luck, Tom!

Because books.

Yes, much luck, Tom!

Jesus, Consuela. I don't understand how your workplace gets anything done, ever.

In horrible bosses news, S. was in a meeting yesterday with his department. They were talking about offering an incentive to readers -- a gift basket you could win -- and the possibility of putting Phillies tickets in it.

The boss immediately shot it down and said the tickets would be too expensive for the value of the basket. One of S.'s coworkers (a young, really nice guy) offered to buy the tickets himself out of frustration.

The boss? In the middle of the meeting, with everyone there, looked at him and scoffed, "You? You can't even pay your bills."

Unreal. I think I would have clocked her. Or at least imagined it in great detail.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I miss ita too. I worry about her.

One of my coworkers just told me that I'm "probably the best editor on the floor." Aww. That made me feel good. It's sad how much I need validation.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Good luck, Tom!

ION, damn those otters are cute. I want a pet otter, can I have one?

In less-than-cute pet news, our cat peed on the top bunk bed. You know what is worse than changing the sheets on the top bunk? Trying to change them whilst avoiding the cat pee.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I want a pet otter, can I have one?

Yes! You should go get one today.
