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

I only do it twice a week, and being off at 3 is really nice.

I thought no fish in communal microwaves was the rule!

There should be a rule against fish. What? Did I take it too far?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Not as long as crab cakes are still allowed.

Also, that is not the sentence in my post I would expect to be taken as crazycakes. Not because it isn't, but because a lot of what I say tends to be.

I actually had fish for breakfast, but cold, as God intended.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's just... I'm barely functioning now, and it's past 9:30 here! "Running," "morning," "office for 6:30" are all no-goes for me.

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

Should be a rule against fish in communal microwaves, period.

Absolutely, yes. I usually eat at my desk, but even when I bought lunch with fishes I figure that's too obnoxious for the office environment. Garlic is as far as I'll go. Not that I've gotten as far as that this week. Must actually take lunch today.

Hmm. I haven't gotten email at my main address in a while. Test emails are not coming back to me either. Shitsnacks.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm pretty sure there IS a rule against heating up pickled herring.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have decided to pull my energy from a more positive place. So far this morning it is working, but there are cracks starting to form.

I applied for a second internal position after talking with someone up the chain of command over it. I also followed it up with an email to the HR person, as he suggested. I am not holding my breath.

The first internal position that I applied for is not moving forward as far as I can tell. I submitted the application yesterday morning and have heard nothing. The people over the position have not been given my name or my resume from HR. The admin in that department did speak to them on my behalf and so they know I am applying. They are both opting not to contact HR and just see if HR will allow me to be considered as a candidate. This does not bode well, IMO.

So.... I am getting a few more tasks of my desk and then I am setting up a spreadsheet for my job search. I am going to list all the companies and organizations that I have applied with or that I want to keep on my list for places to search each week for positions. Then I will track weeks across the x access. I can document each date that I submit an application and even link to the job posting so I can stay up on whether it is still open.

When I put things like this together for myself it makes me wonder how other people say that I do not have strong organizational skills. Maybe because my work area is not cleared off and often looks messy? huh, I bet that is it. I will note that as something to work on. Working files should probably all go in my drawers.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Fish AND popcorn should not be allowed in communal microwaves.

I think I hate everything today.

You don't hate me. So not everything. Just remember, it's Friday. You don't have to deal with work shit for two whole days.
