Spike ,'Get It Done'
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.
Zen, this made me thing of you:
The End of Absence: Reclaiming What We've Lost in a World of Constant Connection - Boing Boing
It has a glossary of new terms:
Going Walden
The often ill-conceived decision to live without connective technologies for a period of time in order to cleanse the spirit. “While we’re in Bali,” said Harry, “what if we went totally Walden?”
Your job sucks, msbelle. It's not you, it's them.
Ugh, Scrappy. That's a no-fun day for sure!
There's something deeply wrong with a workplace culture that makes people as uber capable as msbelle and juliana feel unfit for work. They're the problem, not you.
I got a wierd call from my boss yesterday. Internal audit had called him about my timesheets, asking general audit questions and questions about teleworking. I'm not an official teleworker. By the time I looked into making it official this year, they said they weren't approving any new requests. Plus, the teleworking requirements would cost me more money than I'd like to spend.
He said not to worry about anything but just wanted to give me a head's up. To that I say, wtf?
I killed Natter. Oooops.
Teppy - wanted to say thanks for your help with 504 resources. We had our meeting last week and were able to address a bunch of stuff. Now it is just a matter of both the teachers AND CJ doing their parts. So far so good - he has 1 A, 2 B's and 2 C's. And the B's are close to A's with the C's being close to B's - so at least he isn't starting in a hole.
Well, it just got super dark. Watch out for severe thunderstorms and hail, Chicagoistas.
Yup, just started here.

That's excellent!
IT's way too hot here, but no t-storms predicted until tomorrow.
Going back to the being unfit for work thing, when I was younger I used to think I used to think that I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't have a job. Like it would be great for a little while but not long term.
Now I think retirement would be awesome and how soon can I make that happen?
