I've managed to work at least two hours on every day of my vacation except Christmas (and including today, of course)
My boss assigned me this week's articles, which can normally be returned the following Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (though ideally they want them back as early as possible). But she said "Please start them immediately, because next week is my last week before vacation." And I get what she's saying -- she only has next week to wrap stuff up, but, seriously, your vacation is not my problem. But I want to help out, so I'm doing what I can, even though I have a deadline for my other client, too, which means I'll be working all weekend and then have nothing to do next week. Which would be okay, except for the part where I'd like to enjoy the weekend with my husband.
Shoot, my manager just came by to discuss something else and didn't mention leaving early today, and I didn't think to ask until after she'd walked away.
Strix, I'm sorry. Did I meet Greer? I know I saw Cosmo and Gimlet.
Our office closes at 3 pm today, but I'm off until Monday. Going back to work will be difficult.
I am doing a very boring training, that is due by Friday--there was a "pretest" and I got 11/12, but still have to sit through the training. BOO!
Yay for Buffista get togethers and pictures!
I went to bed about 7PM last night (but I'd been up since 2AM), and thought maybe I'd get up early and get stuff done. Instead, woke with a headache and got up around the usual time. Did manage to go buy food for tonight at Trader Joe's prior to any madness there. Hoping i don't have lots of leftovers, though.
In theory we get let go two hours early today. In reality, I'm leaving at about 12:30 because I have an eye appointment. :)
Rare day off. Mac and I are have a day at the dollar movies. Just saw Book of Life.
Oh! Random question for the buffistas: So, my sister and BIL have a 3 year old (foster kid who may be eligible for adoption soon). And sister's BFF and I were in the car with sister and kiddo, and singing...and sang "Shake your booty" and my sister informed us that she does not want to use the word "booty" around the kiddo and it is not appropriate language. We were flabbergasted--obviously not trying to use actual foul language, but we didn't think of that as inappropriate, and both thought of it as a kid-friendly term for butt, but my sister thought the word has been overly sexualized and is not ok anymore. Thoughts? (I mean, obviously I'll do whatever she wants, when around her, but...just curious)
Alcide just walked past me. Real life is a good look on him. shame about the busted arm, though.
Timelies all!
I'm so sorry, Strix.
Even though I didn't get official word, I left work 2 hours early. Didn't have anything to do.
Theo, glad you're feeling a lot better. Um, tomorrow, feel better still!
Preeeety Buffistas!!
Strix, I'm so sorry about your Greer kitty.
Do I want lunch? Breakfast was late, and dinner will be early, so I'm thinking no.
