BBQ and games on a work night - probably not the best idea. But it was so nice to blow off some steam and just hang out. Bonus jello shots and boozy gummy bears. Damn, those are dangerous. We played Cards Against Humanity until about midnight. That is when a couple of cops showed up because we were laughing so loud that a neighbor called in a noise complaint. Ooooops.
But I'm paying for it now. I think. I don't have a classic hangover, I'm just exhausted. But that could be the sleep issues I'm having.
Tonight is my sleep study. I want to nap right now - but probably shouldn't even consider it.
That is a fabulous dress!
Yay, Penny!
Teppy, that kind of thing is the worst! Ugh.
I wanted to go dancing last night. Even took a shower after PT and changed clothes...but dancing didn't start until 930 and I am too old and instead crawled into bed then. Sigh.
Not yay, author standards that are not right. Really not yay, Steph being stuck in the middle.
Dear Coworkers. I am on vacation. You can tell from my OOO message, and also from how I told you, and asked for back-up. Please stop making me work.
Oh, also, I'm the only one on my team who knows how to do Absolutely Essential Thing. The only other person who knows how is on another team and just... won't do it anymore. I mean, I can ask her, but the last time I did, she said yeah sure and then didn't do it, so... there you go. No one else has been trained and there are no plans to train anyone. So while I'm away, Thing doesn't get done.
shrug
Okay then.
In such situations, I have no trouble throwing upper management and whoever mis-wrote the instructions under the bus.
Absolutely. "I'm so sorry - I read the instructions the same way you did, but I'm being told by Higher-Ups that, in fact, the situation is XYZ."
Are any LAistas at UCLA today. Campus on lockdown. Shooting or gun.

Don't think of it as missing a deadline, think of it as underscoring your indispensability to the company!
Stay safe, LA
Argh, Zen. Enjoy your vacation!
Man, coffee flavored yogurt sounded like a good idea, but now that I have tried it I'm glad I only got one. Shoulda had a Luna bar instead.
Yipes, shooting at UCLA makes me nervous. DH just texted me, so he's safe.
