I'm just trying to wait for a gap in my manager's day so I can tell her I need to go home. All I'm doing is staring at a blank screen.
Mal: You were dead! Tracy: Hunh? Oh. Right. Suppose I was. Hey there, Zoe.

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

Motivation today - nil.
Deadlines today - one big one, but I'm missing input from 6 key people.

And then I dumped the ring out, he took it, got down on one creaky knee and proposed, and after the yeses and kisses, he said, "Seriously, this is called a tiara setting. You get to wear a tiara every day!"
OK, I'm seriously grinning like a loon right now. That's such a wonderful, sweet story. Good job, Tim!

I am home. She looked at me and said "I hope you weren't waiting all this time to ask that." "Kinda."
And now I'm going to lie down.

This is my next-to-next-to-last day of work, so I'm putting together several PPTs of projects I've worked on, so Andy will have some documentation and I'll have some visual aids when I interview for future jobs.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am lobbying to move locations at work. I currently do calendars and basic support for 2 VPs and 4 Directors. They do not all office in the same building. Our campus is 5 buildings laid out in a circle (parking and a lunch area in the middle). So right now, I support people in 3 dirrent buildings. Until recently, the building I am in had 3 of them, and the majority of the non-directors in the department. But now there has been a move and another building has 3, but a smaller number of non-directors in our department. So if I stay here, what I fear is more and more of my time being used up by non-directors stopping and asking for things that they should really be doing themselves (ordering lunches, faxing, scheduling meetings, finding people). Case-in-point a guy from one division of our department just came and asked if I could move the dates of this 2-day meeting his division is having in a couple of months. He should only be asking me to do that as a directive of his boss, the Director of the division - but...I dare not assume and so I ask "have you ben asked to do this by X?" no, he has not. "Have you discussed it with him at all?" no, he has not. DUDE, it is NOT my meeting. It is not YOUR meeting. It is your BOSSES meeting and I will only change the date of it , or anything about it, with his instruction. Totally interrupted my task, took no more than 5 minutes, but got me out of the screens I was working on....just crap like that all day if I stay here.

And now I need to curse at y'all for a bit, mainly Jesse. With your responsible fiscall yaya talk earlier, I went and looked at my budget and damn if I haven't already spent my monthly eating out budget. That seriously sucks. Half a month, no eating out? While I might barely survive that, mac will very likely call the UN human rights council. POOP!
