That sounds like fun!

Why do people in offices bring in those Glade Air Freshener things. I have a new co-worker/professor whom I support (but who is not my boss), and she is two doors down from me, and that damn Fresh Breeze scent is KILLING ME. I feel like my sinuses are being roto-rooted by a metal bottle brush.

NACHOS!

Someone called me way too late about a job last night. Like, not too late jobwise, but too late evening wise. I do my sleep hygiene which involves starting winding down at 8 or so (otherwise I watch TV and it ruins everything. If I'm going to be up at 4-5 anyway, might as well start soon, right?

So I don't know what the details were, but luckily she sent me an email with job description information, but I have no idea what the next steps are.

I'm just chuffed she jumped right on my resume, since I submitted it for the first time yesterday.

But now what? ::rechecks email:: okay, my resume is with the hiring manager. I hope they are similarly excited.

The banking-related interview I had this week which seemed iffy from my PoV because I don't have loan servicing experience may be less iffy than I had thought. I might go to the next level with that one. Location-wise, it's better than last night's lady--she's in downtown, which is with all the traffic, it's in the same neighbourhood I worked before.

If I get the downtown job, Colin and GF will be on me for moving for sure.

Object. Just object. You are in pain, right? Object.

We have a couple women in my office who are a leetle too fond of perfume. One of them, about ten minutes after she'd arrived, I could smell her perfume in the lobby. Sometimes the perfume triggers my allergies ... which tempts me to sneeze on them.

Fingers crossed for you ita!!

And I would love one of you to open me a tab. ;)

Oh, I hate room fresheners. Fake floral and fruit scents are of the devil.

I am so sick and tired of people hijacking my email address. It's first name dot last name at gmail, but any variation of that also comes to me, with or without punctuation. I've had people sign up for Facebook accounts, I get bills from Orange mobile in the Dominican, and I get order receipts and shipping notifications for Marks and Spencer in England amongst other things.

I wish there was some way to make it stop.

edit: And I get dance school notifications/bills and I'm on a kid's soccer league distribution list in New Zealand. These are run by people, yet I can't convince anyone to take me off of them because I'm not the person who lives in Auckland.

It happens to me, too. I don't know if people really think that their version of my address, but with a dot in the middle, is their actual email, or if they just use it as a burner, or whatever. But it's annoying as hell.

(I don't know how they can actually think it's their email, because they wouldn't be able to log in to gmail with that email address. It makes no sense to me.)

t edit I just tried it -- logging in with my email but a dot in the middle, and it logged me in as me. So I feel like these have to be throwaway addresses people use when they're forced to enter an email address to sign up for stuff.

The dots in gmail addresses don't mean anything. I have a couple of those people, too -- mostly Jimmie H.

I get way too many gmail things that aren't mine too. School stuff, doctor's appointments, and a lot of pinterest lately. Annoying. I used to write back and tell them wrong address, but I stopped bothering.
