my student workers, almost all of them over the years, get confused about envelopes and folders-- they use the words interchangeably, they put things in envelopes when you ask them to put them in folders and vice versa.

WUT. I can't even comprehend how you can confuse a folder and an envelope!

(Although I work with people who refer to folders on the network server as "files," so there you are.)

Jesse, the Good Stuff tumblr may see a lot more hits soon. I shared the link on FB with a friend of mine, who works with Katie Goodman and Hal Sparks. She just told me it's been shared far and wide.

A good while ago I worked with someone who thought you needed a zip drive to read a zip file ... nothing would convince her otherwise. Or maybe she was just trying to get me to unzip files for her.

And I was once in the post office where someone wanted to send a package, but they'd reversed the position of the to and from addresses - the address of the person they were sending the package TO was in small writing in the upper left of the package, the return address was larger and in the center. The clerk managed to not "go postal" at having to explain that that wasn't going to work.

Surgery~ma, Strix!

Easy surgery and quick healing~ma to Strix.

I have absolutely no umph today. I don't wanna work. I don't wanna take a day off (how pathetic is that). I just don't wanna.

Aw, thanks!

Good luck, Strix!

Yay Aims!

I agree about this week. Every day, I have looked for something that would lighten my mood because this week has been fucked up.

I hope we are done because the anniversary of the OK City bombing is tomorrow and I'd rather not be any more mess this week.

At a certain point you just let hem send it and they can take it up with the clerk on duty next week.

sarameg, I just got an RFP from your place of employment. Did a double take, and then shook my head. RFP memo is dated 22 March, and closes today at 4 pm. When did we get it? Today. And it doesn't provide all the necessary information. And of course I can't get the subcontracts specialist on the phone to get answers.

Well, that's ridiculous. I think sarameg's employer should be embarrassed. Perhaps nobody will respond, and they'll have to re-announce it.
