We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

There's a place on the lower east side that does French onion soup dumplings

Oh! I've been there! I was in NYC for a long weekend several years ago, and I went there with Nutty because our friend's sister is the pastry chef there. Social Cafe? Something like that?

ION, I had a nice bitching session & dinner last night with my predecessor in this job, and she admitted that she too hated My Nemesis, and we shared horror stories about her for a while. It was very nice to catch up and get sympathy from someone who understands perfectly how difficult it is to get anything done here, and how dysfunctional the management is.

I think, however, in the absence of a firm offer in hand (I haven't heard anything from anyone since last week), I'm going to take advantage of the opportunity to stay a little longer. I can always give notice and go anyway, but sticking around for another month is (sigh) the sensible thing to do.

And next week I'm going to have an open chat with a fairly senior guy back east about how the program is being run. We'll see if it makes any difference, although it probably won't.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Stanton Social, yes! I haven't been in ages, but their food is so good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse - is this good enough for GoodStuffHappenedToday?

So good!

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

Network is down and everything is Citrix based. Whee!

At least the coffee works.

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

My big boss (the horrible one) said I should hear something soon. I believe nothing until I see it in writing.

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

Shit, I thought the email my boss sent was about a work group I'd already joined, but apparently not, I am now on, like, three as well as having half my time allocated to a different director. It is now clear I have overreached.

Pity me.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I just had to invoke the underpants gnomes in a meeting. Seriously. And it wasn't to be funny; it was to point out what an IDIOTIC "plan" this dude had.

Stab stab.

Because books.

The .. underpants gnomes?

On hold with benefits people about getting H's 401k into my hands. Apparently they set up the beneficiary account last August but didn't transfer the funds or tell me whatever I needed to do to make that happen. Sigh.

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

The .. underpants gnomes?

Profit!
