Man, a co-worker just pissed me off. He's looking for the developer that sits in the cube next to me. He comes, she's not there, he starts muttering. Her (and my) manager pipes up and says "Well, maybe she's taking lunch?" And co-worker replies with, in the pettiest snottiest tone "Well, she's been doing that for two and a half hours!"
Seriously? Do you not want anyone on your side ever again?
He's also the sort of guy who deliberately and pointed reads every word he can see on your screen, and will even flip idly through windows if you let him use your keyboard.
Who wants that person around?
Customer service question #2: Muzak is a punishment, right?
Okay, who has worked phone support before and can confirm for me that sometimes, if things aren't going well, you "accidentally" disconnect people.
Of course.
Who wants that person around?
I don't even want that person on my planet.
On the brighter side,animal photos.
CIO said in the meeting today that her direct reports keep a pair of sneakers in their offices, because she has her 1 on 1s walking around the block--she did 5 miles of meetings yesterday.
Oh, man, I would so benefit from that. My boss only goes so far as to try to have meetings standing up. I actually have a cousin's husband who has running eetings.

And this is why I HATE having my back to my cubicle doorway.
You can only sneak up on me from where my manager sits. And she's normally perfectly loud so that I can have my windows properly arranged by the time she's in view. But my boss is a sneaky ninja, and sometimes he comes basically from where I can see him and I don't notice a thing until it's too late and I'm doing a keyboard smash and hoping the right windows disappear.
Went for a slice of banana bread, and the cafe gave me two, because it was Friday! Whee! And I already had a spare muffin from the morning, so my dinner's pretty well set.
Lunch was 5 Guys burger. Didn't like it so much--the ketchup is really sour. However, they do let grownups order off the "little" menu, so at least I wasn't wasting as much food as normal.
Oh, that reminds me. I have half a sandwich in the office fridge.
In theory. They apparently clean them. Huh!
Timelies all!
Only plans I have for this weekend are visiting the comic book store and buying a Fathers' Day gift.
Denture cleaner is brilliant at getting tea stains out of mugs. And it ate through a bunch of the water depositing in the bottom of the wine carafe that I use for water at night.
I went to see Prometheus this afternoon with about 100 of my coworkers. I don't know what I'm doing this weekend.
I usually use bleach to rid myself of tea stains.
Father's Day? Do I have to go look that up or something? No...my mother's birthday isn't *that* soon.
Man, when I slump in this chair it hurts my buttbone so much that I look like a real freak reseating myself. Poor buttbone. Poor me.
