I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

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."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Bad PowerPoint. The worst, actually.
I am straight up not lying when I say I thought I recognised a couple of those. Before we separated, I am pretty sure I saw the peers of the IT Modernization Roadmap and the Strategy Map For The US Army/Army/Army Scorecard (how is that a title?).
But if I had seen the Design For Social Change I think I would have LLOLed (first L for literally, honestly, seriously, no joke).
So the team I just got pulled off of? The guy they replaced me with didn't get back from lunch until 1:40. Kickoff meeting was 1:00. Not his fault--he didn't get the email in time. But it makes sense to pull me off, because I'm already on a parallel team for "executing on" other findings from the same study.
Everyone is running from meeting to meeting--this same guy had to attend a meeting in my place this morning because of my first sitdown with the CIO. And all the day since then has been putting together the slide deck for the 3:00 regroup. This is my ten (five?) minute break that I take at my desk, as opposed to the one I took waiting in line for lunch (half of which is still on my desk).
