I hope things work out with the rescheduled interview, Scrappy.
Frankenbuddha, I hope your day has improved.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, good luck, Scrappy. Can you reiterate how unlike you this is in a followup note?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Doing that right now!

There, see! Of course you're a rockstar of an applicant.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I swear 5 hours have gone by since I looked at the closk at 3pm.
Doesn't help that the admin who sits right by me has her granddaughter here and said child will NOT sit down and read her book.
ION - I did manage to get a couple of things off my desk that needed doing. I am reaching that point of winding down the job where the battle to finish EVERYTHING is overwhelming and the attitude of "good enough" is starting to emerge.

Oh, Scrappy, I can easily imagine how that must feel. Hope it doesn't hurt your chances!

I am so sorry, Scrappy. mr. flea once went to a formal interview in a suit and felt great about how it went and went out to his car and looked in the mirror to tell himself, "You rocked!" and realized he hadn't shaved.
I was propositioned for the first time at work today! Sigh. What makes you think that a 40 year old librarian wearing a wedding ring would possibly be interested in getting freaky with a presumably unemployed guy who spends the day hanging out in the library? I mean, he was relatively un-crude and polite about it, but seriously??

Wow, flea, that is certainly a thing. Un-crude and polite is better than it could be, I suppose.
Man, today seemed very long and busy (no longer than a usual day, but it was busy and lunch was a departmental "party" that I honestly did not know how to account for on my timesheet, so kind of no time off) and it turned out to be the last day for one of the other temps (as she was leaving, the rep that sits across the aisle from me said "see you Monday" and she said no we wouldn't is the only reason I know that). I'm not sure how to react to that. I kind of don't have to, though, so, whatever, I guess.
And I have at least a quart of potato salad leftover. But someone asked me for the recipe, and someone else said she doesn't like beets, but they tasted okay in my dish, so that's nice.
Is it time for wine yet?

I was all pleased with myself for making dinner, but honestly? It wasn't any healthier than anything else I would have eaten (takeout or popcorn or whatever): pasta with bacon and peas and cheese. Ah well. It was delicious, at least! And practically free!

It is time for whiskey here! I even had one of my project managers tell me to go get a cocktail. Oh, man what a week. I've been working overtime a lot lately, but in the 45 hours/week realm, not the 56 hours I had this week. I'm hoping I can take a day off next week. While the OT pay is nice, right now, I'd just like a day where I didn't have to do a DARNED thing.
