omg, we are currently 3 positions down in the 2 locations I support. 1 position I do not think they are replacing, 1 is down due to illness and I have not heard a timeframe on that person's return, the 3rd position has not yet been approved for filling...AND NOW someone failed a drug test, so we are about to be down 1 more. Crappity crap. It doesn't necessarily increase my workload, but it makes me have to harass people a lot more for paperwork and information I need.
For context, there were 13 non-driver people working in the 2 locations when I started, so it's like a quarter reduction just from loss and slow hiring.

Ugh. I need to go upstairs and start doing work, but I am just not wanting to. I'm telling myself it's not even that MUCH work and if I get it done I can do other stuff, but...ugh. I opened the computer and looked at some easy emails earlier, but now the things waiting for me are actual work. Why am I not just independently wealthy?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Today is "what the hell is this bone in my mouth" day. And also, apparently, "No more hourly work for you from old job" day.

yay for getting the bone resolved, boo for old job deciding that.
meara, you should get some Texas work and I can set up my spare room as a remote office for you and then we can hang out and have the funs!
yeah, so a little socialness yesterday just really made me realize how much I miss it. EVERYONE IS INVITED TO VISIT.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Apparently tomorrow is a work from home day. So that's something? I'll have to figure out about if I can get into the files here or what.

I am eagerly awaiting the answer to "what the hell is that bone in your mouth," Dana!

Good luck with your bone teeth, Dana.
We are supposed to be getting the snowpocalypse tonight/tomorrow. It's also cold as balls here. They almost never let us stay home without using vacation time, but tomorrow may actually be that bad. Getting to stay home is the only reason that I would hope for bad weather, as I am completely over this winter already.

I think thanks to the cold-as-ball-ness, the snow is light and fluffy and pretty and easy to move, so there is that?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Also vibing for good answers to the "what the hell is that bone in your mouth" question, Dana. And for easy passage through the snow for everyone.
We are slowly gearing up for the drive home, although right now it's just everyone on their own computers. My sister and her husband are both at work, and their kids are both asleep. Speaking of sleeping in, Franny slept until 9:30 this am. Dang. She might be morphing into a tween!
