So, I was interviewing someone for a tech writer position today and, when I asked his opinion of the Oxford comma, he responded "is that the comma with the dot over it?"
How far are you from me? I got some anxiety issues to work out physically...
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I think I'm going to be prefacing my annual review with " I've been kinda of a dick because..." Luckily I think my audience understands. But jesusfuck, today alone was 7 hrs of mtgs on one project, one an all hands presentation and 3 more on another. And I stuck to 8 hrs because I'm a bitch that way and want the rest of my life even if at this point it is numb on the couch or zenned in the pool, (which is why multitasking =braindead. 10 hrs of braining in less than that.) I was still puzzling db queries postswim. I've got 61 records that changed in 24 hrs and I have Jo idea why and I want to strangle people.
I don't believe I'd be able to go on with the interview after that, Lisah. I'd have done a Dawn "Get out! Get out!"
ION, I hate computer shopping. There are no apples to apples comparisons, unless you're only comparing Apples.
Jeez, sara. I get anxious when I lose two hours at a meeting (especially since they're always ending two hours before the end of the work day) and it's always frustrating for the day to be pretty much gone before you can take action on any thing.
(I used to work earlier hours and staff meeting would end after I was supposed to clock out, and had an evil boss who would give me a honey-do list she wanted done "before the end of the day" and I'd be all "days over honey, I'll get on that first thing tomorrow!".
There's nothing quite like the feels engendered by turning on a computer and getting the boot screen.
Oh, like having that happen to a lighting console the day tech is supposed to start? I know today isn't Monday, but man has today been a Monday.
Oh my god, it is 2.5 hours past my bedtime, and I JUST finished my grades and comments that are due in... oh, God, 8.5 hours.
I really should not have procrastinated this, but spring break was so PRETTY.
Okay. Sleep. Good night.

HA! Oh Gris, I laugh because I AM THIS. Spring Break has just started for me, and Future Pix is already giving Present Pix the stinkeye.
Get some sleep!
Speaking of break, ND and I are headed to Arizona tomorrow to meet up with my mom and spend time with my aunt and uncle. I’m super excited to see them. We’re doing a belated 70/40 birthday celebration (Mom turned 70 in December; I turned 40 in February).
Head pats, teacher/grading folk. It sounds difficult and obnoxious.
I am flying back to Indiana tomorrow. But didn't get the things I needed to done today. Boo. So I'll be doing work thurs/fri when I should be on vacation. (I mean, I won't take the vacation days, but I'd rather).
I'm flabbergasted that someone would not know the Oxford comma. But not know it when you're applying for a tech writer position?? My GOD, if that's who they give an interview to, who applied that they DIDNT decide to interview????
Wow, lisah. Amazeballs.
Also sarameg although I guess I should not be surprised anymore that your days are like that.

Future Pix is quite the go-getter, never putting off until tomorrow the stinkeye she could give today.
