Ugh, Zenkitty. Those would be the times when (physical location permitting) I yell "FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU" while typing what I hope is a very diplomatic email.
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because books.

Sadly I have done this many times. Ugh.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The email I sent was more diplomatic than the ones I didn't send, but I'm not sure it was essentially diplomatic. It takes me a few tries to get the vitriolic sarcasm out. She hasn't responded yet.

My boss just replied to an email from me by insinuating that I don't know what my job is or how to do a simple thing I've been doing for years.
Hah. I had a call this morning from a matrix report who got a one am email last night from a VIP saying "I'm used to [prior person in your role] being able to do this for me."
She's not doing it for you because you said many times over the last few weeks that you didn't need her help. Now its due Tuesday and she's booked up. Deal with it.

So if anyone needs cheering up this morning, check out this marvelous video of divers and seals. (Note: this interaction would be pretty illegal in the US: you're not supposed to engage with marine mammals, for their own protection.)

They're like giant sea dogs!

They really are!
Also, Chicagoland Buffistas might be intrigued to hear that my brother's restaurant business is expanding again: they're going to open a cider-based place downtown. [link]

She hasn't responded. Typical. She probably won't.
