I have a few Trump Fools among my FB friends. I am trying to balance when I will start engaging. Too early and it will be forgotten, while too late and they will be that much more committed to the madness. At least 3 of them are women!

So for good potential job news, he had a phone interview this morning for a place that we thought was in CT, which made no sense, as we would never have applied to something there. Turns out, the job is in Atlanta. I could do Atlanta.

Idaho, upon hearing that husband has another interview Monday, is lobbying to interview him today. Do not do this to me, Idaho.

Don't you hate it when geopolitical entities stalk you?

Idaho is a great state, they have potatoes and... uh... Boise is the capital and... hmm... they have a state song.

Ugh. Am supposed to be meeting with someone right now, he set it up, we need to review these financial documents...and he's not answering emails or on IM or calling in. I know as soon as I try to do something else substantial he will call me. Grr.

All kinds of fun polka-dotted stuff from eShakti today.

Ah ha ha -- just had a meeting with a group of people where a fundamental question came up about their role, vis a vis my team and also in general, and the person who is their boss was like, "You're right! That is a fundamental question!" Um. A fundamental question you should be answering, jackass!

Corporate, in their infinite wisdom, has decided to centralize certain cross business groups. We have been through this before - for example, each office used to have an accounting group, then that got centralized to three offices-Boise, Denver, Spartanburg. Now? The bulk of that work is now in Krakow, Poland.

They are putting a ton of effort into training the new folks in Poland and so far the people I've dealt with are getting the work done. But the time difference means you rarely, if ever, can talk with someone there in real time. Everything is delayed. Tonight is their Friday, so any work that we would normally push through on a Friday for us, now needs to be done on Thursday.

Good luck for job offer somewhere you want to live, Dana!

I don't know if I can even explain my irritation right now. I developed this report to be used by our department and two other departments for a specific purpose. Someone told our senior director that it had information she could use for a different purpose, so she asked me to send it to her and senior sales. It's not organized for their purposes, it's organized for ours, because that's why it was created. So director asked someone else to reorganize my report for their purposes. Which is all well and good. But this person cannot seem to understand that what she was tasked with is not actually the primary purpose of the report and is trying to tell me to change my report, which would actually make it harder for my department to use. Which she not only sent me in an email but came by my desk in person to tell me about.

I'm way angrier about this than I need to be, but it's just so dismissive of the work I've put in.
