Matt, I don't know what your co-worker is like the rest of the time, but when I ask the advisors who stay later than I do (and as supervisor of customer service, part of my job is to lock up after everyone else) I'm asking because I know it's inconvenient for them to have to turn the printer back on if they're still using it, and the same with the rest; it's not that I don't trust them to lock up. It could be in the way she's wording it. I always phrase it something like, "J., do you still need the printer?" It's because I'm lazy, too. Saves me a step.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

I know she meant well, but it felt like she was reluctant to leave and kept thinking up more excuses not to go, like a kid who doesn't want to go to bed and starts asking for one more story, a glass of water, etc. Didn't help that I was hyper focused on trying to finish a batch of files before 8 and the questions kept derailing me every 30 seconds.

Learning management systems seem to have been designed without consulting anyone who has ever taught or taken a class! But probably half my job is facilitating between instructors and IT to try to make Blackboard bend to our will.

I can understand the frustration of being constantly interrupted; that's annoying as hell. New business opportunity--cone of silence! Although, that used to be called an office with a door.

THEY LOST THE PUCK IN THE GOALIE'S PANTS?!?!?!
I do not ever want to learn the truth of what happened in this game, I am so happy to imagine it based on y'all's descriptions/reactions.

Losing the puck in his pants sounds like such a euphemism. For what, I have no idea...
So annoyed at myself. Got in to town last night and my friend canceled on me for dinner. I was exhausted and took a nap, and woke up groggy and gross feeling, and eventually got some dinner. Decided is work out in the morning--there's a river trail nearby and the hotel has awesome fancy treadmills. Instead, thunder like crazy right before my alarm, I turned it off for 30 more minutes sleep. Bleh. At least I'm going home tonight.

I am dead in the water at work; one of our main servers on campus went down. I can't get into my e-mail or the shared drive where all my work resides, which also means our printers are down. I hand wrote calendars for the conference rooms. Oy.

I'm up, breakfasted, and have been in the office for an hour already and all I can think of is closing tomorrow. I have too much work to do to be distracted, but...but...I want tomorrow to be NOW.

Today is my Friday and I was up late due to hockey shenanigans, so I need to find the force of will to get things done today in order for me to fuck off on vacation until Tuesday.
