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.
Oof, that's a tough line to walk.
I have done that on a couple work trips, and ended up buying another cord at Radioshack. Which was not cheap, but was better than trying to tell my boss I couldn't do any work...
Oh, that sounds better than going by the office, at least! I will try that when I go to the orthodontist.
I need to write a review of the manager of my current project (for inclusion as part of our annual 360 review). She is AWFUL.
Tough one. Disorganized. Unresponsive. Lacking in focus. Not a good fit for the role/doesn't demonstrate the expertise necessary for the role. Doesn't make smart, timely decisions. Not an effective communicator.

Yep. All of the above (this is the woman that when I replied explaining no, it was unlikely I could get to a certain place by a certain time, because it was in North Dakota (and therefore fewer flights/far), she replied "Thanks Dora the Explorer!")
Unprofessional.
Maybe put those under "Areas for improvement".
The last time I had to buy a power cord on a business trip I was able to expense it. So technically my spare cable belongs to the company but since it's for my work laptop it's not like I needed it for anything else!
I don't do autopay because my paycheck is tied to a day of the week, not a specific date. I don't want to risk not having the funds on the date the payment drops.
she replied "Thanks Dora the Explorer!"
Yeesh. I think the word for that is just "asshole".

Well, YES. This is the same woman who, before she was the project manager was a coworker. Once she was at a clinic for a different project she was on, and knew a coworker was supposed to be there the same day for our project. She didn't see the coworker at like, 9;15AM. Rather than assume it was none of her business what the coworker had arranged (like maybe the person she was working with comes in late or had a meeting, or maybe she was flying in that morning), rather than calling the coworker to say "hey, weren't you supposed to be here today? Are you running late or did something come up?", she instead called the coworker's BOSS to say "OMG, I'm SO WORRIED about [coworker] because she's supposed to be here and she's not!" (Coworker walked in about 15 minutes later, had been stuck in traffic). Seriously. BITCH.
meara, wish I could help, I'd write something similar in my boss's review. Do they want specifics, or will something general like "lack of communication skills" suffice?
So, the porch is clean, the Welcome mat is out, the gate is open, the lights are on, and a vat of candy is on the table outside. Hopefully none of the little varmints will take the whole thing. Me and my persistent hacking cough are going upstairs to sort laundry.
While I'm normally down with whole ingredients I have to agree that he ultimate grilled cheese is Kraft American on Wonder bread grilled with fucktons of butter.
