I was in denial about this draft article I am supposed to send out this week, and thought I was nearly done. Then I realized one chunk is not written at all. SIGH OF ONEROUSNESS.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

My weekend was a bit too heavy on the arduous task scale, with grading all day Fri and Sat and culling and cleaning all day Sun and Mon. But we squeezed in the Lego Movie too, so that was fun.
Sending good vibes to you and the kids, Kat. And K too.

mr. flea and the kids went to the Lego movie yesterday, and I went to the academic library and took notes on a book that has, I shit you not, 1142 pages. And also talked to my crazy former boss, the one with whom I once had a sit-down meeting about whether or not there was toner in the closet.

Brag ahead.
As a huge corporation, our company moves very slowly with the annual review process. Today I talked to my boss about my performance over the last year. I won't find out about the promotion he put me up for or any salary increase until some point in March.
He shared the feedback write up that is the basis for the promotion request which included the following...
She instills confidence quickly due to her clear knowledge of the cost and control tools. She mentors others and transfers knowledge within in the PM community. She is very much an exemplary project controls professional.
That last sentence. Damn. ::blush::.

That's great Suzi, brag away!
flea, it sounds like you got a raw deal.
I am so dang tired, I can't find my motivation to grade, but it's not like I have a lot of choice on this one.

I once had a sit-down meeting about whether or not there was toner in the closet.
Did you sit down in the closet with the toner (or where the toner should have been but was not)? Because that has a directness I can appreciate.

No, we sat down in her office with the door closed to discuss whether or not there was toner in the closet (20 feet from her office), instead of just looking in the damned closet to see.

Yay, Jilli! Are you planning on putting them in a locket or choker?
I had all four out over winter break one year. Going back to college like that was fun.....(And I just realized, I have no idea what happened to the teeth. She may have just thrown them out.....)
