Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

Oh, ita, this Storm seemed very you.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Our server is down. We can still access the web (obvs), email, and SAP - but cannot access any documents. good times. it makes working hard, but not impossible for at least some tasks. On the otherhand, I am in a fog state and would really prefer to just be left alone and possibly sleep. I cannot wrap my head around how to do anything this morning. I consider it a great achievement to have gotten mac to school and myself to work on time. I doubt anyone else at work will recognize this is a major feat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You should work with me! My boss totally sees getting to work today as a feat -- it's grey and gloomy out, and she spent all weekend handing family shit.

ION, who wants to give me a ride to buy this awesome bar cart? [link]

Apparently I'm moving desks again. Seat assignments are not set and as yet we have no map of the floor we're moving to, so I may be wandering aimlessly next Monday.

I also have to write my self-assessment by end of day for annual review, which is going to be super great since I spent much of the last review cycle shutting down a product. Woo?

Self-assessment: "I shut that shit DOWN."

Pretty much what I'm gonna say, may add in "LIKE A BOSS" since I did it at 80% reduction in staff?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That is a most excellent Storm, Hec. Bookmarked.

I have come in today to a failing work computer, so I have to hand it to tech support for a while. Which, should my boss need me for one of his exit meeting, will bother him considerably.
