You guys, I am completely overwhelmed at work. There's stuff due for a hard deadline that there's no way I can make it. So many ops issues have happened in the past 2 months, I don't even have time to do the paperwork describing why it isn't getting done. I keep telling people this, but they aren't listening.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
sarameg, fwiw I'm swimming up the same shlt creek. No one wants to hear there's too much work.

Otoh, the frustration makes for really fast swims. Last couple of days, sub56. Almost got under 55s averages tonight. That's rare for me.

And everyone knows we have to much work. Just no one wants to take the hit.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We've discovered the little guy's not so fond of green vegetables. We tried feeding him peas, and he kept spraying them out of his mouth. Tonight was green beans, which ate a little, dribbled some out, then refused to open his mouth to eat any more. We'll keep trying...

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
That just saps a lot of strength at work, sarameg and Zen.

Their hiring another level of chief engineer whose responsibility will be to manage the balance higher up, as the level at which mgmt assigns the work, they don't have the pull to push back. Or something like that. But they're still in search mode.

My place hired another manager, from within, so thus taking away an editor. I'm super burned out. Supercalifragilistic.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
AND you get $10 to either eat an overpriced Snickers from the honor bar *or* towards your bar tab. So I'm going to have to get a snooty cocktail later.
Which Kimpton?
The Palomar. Love this hotel. I'm now leaning toward the overpriced M&Ms to eat on the flight home tomorrow.

Punishingly Intricate
The Palomar.
Nice! We'll be at the Monaco in a couple of weeks.
