Completely and totally NSFW. ita!, were you involved in this???

edited to fix my html shenanigans

Hahaha! OK, that was entertaining.

ION- if you are forced to read a bunch of boring documents at work, I try using the computers "text to speech" option. It can make it a little more entertaining, at least in the short term. It keeps you from skimming. And you get a great laugh at some of the pronunciations. Although, I was also entertained by the "breath" sounds between sentences. As if that makes it more believable. All in all, it's helped get through this 30+ page document on OSHA regulations.

The flash drive and local eatery gift cards are great ideas. I've got a few folks to support in that way.

The hivemind is amazing.

If the campus is large, and parking far from class, maybe a skateboard or razr (or whatever they are called, skateboard thingy with a handle) so he can get to class a little faster, with less effort.

Rant ahead:

There seems to be no avenue to promote anyone in my library.so worker bee gets to fill out a reclass form. Which is ridiculous and bureaucratic. But the reclass process looks broken, which is interesting because everyone at my level is doing it. But we are hiring at the level above- so do an in house application.

And yes - you have to go through the interview process.

So I email the hr person and get an ' oh didn't I email you?your interview is sometime Thursday - I'll have to let. You know tomorrow'

I am ragey at the hoops I have to jump through to change my title ( and take a temp salary cut).but that unprofessional email is the bitter frosting on my moldy cupcake.

I am really good at what I do I have been told by many people that I do this better than my predecessor . I do not want to lose this because I am so angry I can't see straight.

angry and incoherent

ahh well

as long as I make sense at unknown place and unknown time on thursday

Maybe take today to be pissed off (and maybe get details about tomorrow) and then bring your calm A-game on Thursday?

Beth, I'm sorry this process is so frustrating. And irrational. And frustratingly irrational. And... er... bothersome.

thanks - I just got an email with time and place. I slept well last night - so i am better this morning

Delurking to declare my new-found love for Sherlock and Benedict Cumberbatch. I'm shocked to find that I'm actually crushing on BC, whom I've always thought looked like an insect. Him as Sherlock? SWOOOOONNNN!!!! DW thinks he looks like Amelia Earhart. LOLOLOL!
