I kinda have no redundancy. It's not great for the people who rely on me OR for me when I want to not be at work. The role change that may happen for me could involve building out a team so I'm not the only one doing this, which could be interesting.

In other news, do I want to spend a little bit more money to get a desktop with a 13" chassis? It would take up less room under my desk and provide endless opportunities for dirty jokes.

No redundancy or training for coverage is HORRIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICE.

Cosigned. Co-signed?

Unexpected buffalo wings for lunch, hooray!

Did not win the baking contest, but my cheesecake is almost entirely gone, so that's satisfying.

Am actually making some progress on work work. Color me surprised.

ETA: more money for more dirty jokes sounds reasonable to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our registrar (who is the only one who can register students, posts grades, do incomplete contracts and degree audits ) is going out for surgery with no back-up. The plan has her working from home part-time as she can.

That is so crazy!! WTF, jobs.

My head so needs a steam bath. Why did I leave Iceland? There weren't even all these things blooming there to make my stupid immune system overreact.

Good question!!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

No back-up is a bad, bad thing.

We recently had a staff member die. At a conference. She was 37. There was, luckily, one person she shared information with, so we're not completely screwed, but still ...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Why did I leave Iceland?

I just don't know. We didn't even get to go to the Chuck Norris Grill!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I've been sneezing and mouth-breathing all day, hopefully whatever I'm reacting to will settle after it rains. And now I have a headache, possibly from the fumes of the bathroom renovation next to my office.

Oh, Todd, how awful! In general, and specifically with the no coverage thing. That happens.

I just don't know. We didn't even get to go to the Chuck Norris Grill!

Right? I should probably break into my Icelandic Easter Egg, anyway.

Hm, there's an opening for a financial analyst here. Hm.
