I hope everything gets finalized for you soon, ita.
And I hope the Copenhagen office trip comes through for you, Jilli. It sounds like a nifty city to visit.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

ita! Things crossed.
Jilli, hope you get the trip and see northern lights. Just saw some vid from a friend, and I really want to see them sooner or later.
Baked cookies for my pool crew. Didn't eat much of anything today. Gatoraded after my swim because there were some weird moments during it. Not sure what the hell my digestive tract is doing. But it is stupid.
I really don't want to go back to work tomorrow. Even if it is only for another 11 days. Maybe 10. Or 9. Attitude in toilet.

I'd love to see Copenhagen. Some of the buildings my great-grandpa worked on(he was a stonemason, like Tony Soprano's grandpa) might still be there.

Hiring-ma to all the Buffistas.
I'd also love to see Copenhagen. I'm actually feeling super twitchy and in need of travel. I need to pick a place and just buy tickets to go to there, I guess.
I made my second trip to a Coinstar machine today. $13 this time. I have another giant bag of pennies to take in, and then I will be done. Where did all this spare change come from? Did it breed like Tribbles? I'm planning to take more old electronics to Best Buy this weekend, so at least I can feel good about getting things out of the house.
Attitude in toilet.
Ha ha, yeah. I know that feel.

The thing is, for the most part, I love my job. I just don't love being treated like shit by my employer and having a crazy trying year at the same time. Bottom line is that I want my job fellows to hurt the way I am due to my employer and that makes me feel like ass. But has to be done and I'm doing it. So pretty much sign me up for 'oops, don't care, not my problem' until the new year and then some.
And now I need to wake to my alarm at 6. Fuck.

Fingers crossed for ita and Calli, and Plei I hope something lands in your lap soon.
Am I the only one around here who pictures Danny Kaye singing "Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen!" for Jilli?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Just hearing or reading the word cues it, Burrell. But then it usually segues into "There once was an ugly duckling..." so there you go. "And then we drink!"
Which we will do when Calli, ita, and Plei are all gainfully employed.

Me, too please? Uber doesn't really count as a job.
Although, I DO get paid today.

So…
I was gone 2 weeks and essentially nothing got done that was supposed to happen. That had to happen.
People seem to think 1. I care and 2. I'm going to do something about it.
And IT, with your urgent new software installs and training and horseshit? Yeah, I'm not gonna be able to do that. Bite me.
But hey, I got a raise.
Of 1%.

Now have unofficially gotten word of 2 people leaving CSC come the new year. One is in our branch (and we're kerfucked on the work she does) and another is pretty much one of the guys the mission will cut off their own heads to keep, so I'm guessing he's just jumping contracts.
The fun begins.
