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

Has Never Used PowerPoint

ENVY

It is the default method of communication here, even if not given at a meeting. And I managed to get cred for being good at them, so...

RIGHT. BACK TO WORK.

I took a short detour to throw someone under the bus for not responding to me, and it was remarkable how quickly he called once he saw the business cc-ed on the email where I asked him for information. And how sure he was he knew how the system worked (I was lead on the project, he was not involved in the design or implementation) and that he'd never received incident response documents (I wrote and mailed them to him a year ago, and we've had two handover meetings since then--one where he told me "that's not how it's going to work" and one where he told me "well, maybe it's going to need to work this say"). Oy.

I feel zero shame.

And it turns out he told me the wrong information! Yay!

I'm going back to the slides...well, painkillers and then slides.

Bad PowerPoint. The worst, actually.

Not sure if anyone else here deals with job cost accounting. I'm working on a new project that has 539 tasks so far. Most projects are under 20. I'm going cross-eyed dealing with this project.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The comments on this blueberry muffin recipe are classic. Especially the people who insist it is actually a cupcake. [link]

I've decided to disengage from social media for a while so I can get my anxiety levels under some semblence of control. That means I will likely get my news here, so check your sources before posting, folks! (insert winky emoticon here so I don't sound like a jerk.)

My first reaction to Steph and David was, "well, duh" ... but I'm trying to be nicer. Not msbelle's level of nice, 'cause she's the nicest, but nicer than "raging bitch."
