ION - looked up my boyfriend from the 3 months I was in Australia when I was 16. Found him on FB. oh my. He was 24, so he's 8 years older, but I dare say, I look more like 16 yo me than he does 24 yo him. Granted he has probably worked outside most of the last 27 years.

He's the only one from Australia that I have been able to find which seems odd in this day and age.

And no word from HR on the boss situation. He is not here today, he told me yesterday was his last day in the job and.....no memos, no emails, no calls from anyone to let us know what is going on. Obviously some people know, but COME ON!.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You should know who your boss is, msbelle. I am reminded of the time I got called by HR to let me know my boss was getting fired and they were concerned that he might cause trouble. (He did not.) And your other post reminded me of my beautiful roommate from DC who has not aged well. Because of course I have googled him in the past few years....

Where are you going this time, Jesse?

Haiti! (I feel like I should be more circumspect because a person could pretty much figure out where I work, but meh.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ooh, exciting!

And a different kind of exciting for msbelle - that sounds mysterious and interesting, your boss disappearing and no information forthcoming about it...

The batteries for my heart rate monitor should arrive today! I am unreasonably excited about getting the whole system working.

Because books.

Sounds like he was asked to leave his position pretty quickly. Maybe others have caught on to him being a giant dickhead.

Haiti! Jesse is the world traveler these days.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh msbelle, your wprk! In both little ways and big ways they so often get it wrong. I'm a bit boggled that they'd leave you and others bossless without any clue of who's replacing him, and when he/she is coming on board.

Haiti! Jesse is the world traveler these days.

Yes indeed!

Today is the last day of my break and I haven't gotten any of my own writing done. Feels like a fail to me. le sigh. Well at least I've managed to schedule a haircut and mom/kid play date for the afternoon.

NO official word until next week. "CHANGES ARE NOT FINALIZED" - capitalization mine.

They have not even sent a memo that he is gone. I only know because he told me (and he packed up his office).

This company really does not do transitions well.

Haiti! Very exciting, Jesse.

I forgot my phone at home. DOH.
