That is completely cool. I want that. Or maybe I just want to keep scrolling for hours.

I'm leaving work at 11:40 so I can be home for the plumber. I'm not coming back (today). And I've done nearly nothing this morning.
And now I've even left this comment open for twenty minutes. Oy.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I snuck out of work a bit early. Official word said we could leave 2 hours early, but a) my boss left at 10:30, b) I finished all my work by 11:30 and c) despite what the e-mail said, the nearby cafeteria was closed today(and I didn't bring a lunch). So at noon I decided to leave.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's a really cool tumblr layout.

If you scroll the page and keep your eye on the top left, you'll see what I like.
Nifty!
I'm still at the office. Still no sign of postal worker. Pout.

The Nook tablet order is the result of a B&N gift card I got for Christmas. So I have not started any new books in the last few days because I wanted to give the new device a try. This might be why I am pouty.

I really want to have gone to Trader Joe's, but I'm not that excited about going! It's cold out and a long walk. But I do have a warm coat, and for christ's sake, I can tell that I feel better when I at least move my body a little, which I have not been doing lately. OK. Up and at em.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In case of interest, I finally put my Great House pictures into one set: [link] and also updated my Jamaican food set: [link] with pictures over the past year or two.

There is officially no one here to send me home.
My co-office mates (but who work for a different dept.) are also not being sent home, so there's comfort in misery.
However Megan has sent her staff home and my coworker's DH was sent home at 3. (We all work for gov't.)

I'm supposed to work until 3. But right now I am so irked I may trash my computer before then.
See, we have to document all our contact with the doctors and nurses. Both for the FDA, and to prove to the people paying us that we're doing our jobs. Granted, I have been just saving all my emails and putting this task off.
At my last company, they got a system going so we could just forward (or if we were smart, cc in the first place) our emails to a specific address, different for each project, and make sure a specific number was in the email chain, and voila, it filed itself (and then you could go look at all the emails online, if you wanted to find out about somethign someone else did). So nice.
This one? Well, first off, I have to print all the emails and send them in via fedex. Annoying, but not that big a deal. But then I ALSO have to put them into our system. So first I click to open a new "correspondence". Then I have to type in the date it happened. Then I have to click on the "performed by" box. Which opens a new box. Where I have to click to enter a new line. Then click on the "last name" field to open a list of names, then find my name on that list of name (I'm on the third page) and click on it. Then click OK that yes I meant that name. Then Click on another box for the "Topic" (and click for a new topic, and for a list of topics, and then on the list of topics, which one you want). Then cut and paste the body of the email into the "comments" section. EACH AND EVERY EMAIL. It's insane.
