Today is our first day of orientation.
Tomorrow, first thing, I have a root canal.
Love makes you do the wacky.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You can glare at the movers balefully tomorrow while you fold your blanket fort.

I'm going to find some comfort food to shove in my face for lunch, I tell you what.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, I had pizza for lunch and breakfast.
Breakfast happened at the same time as lunch because I didn't get actual breakfast.
So, my co-worker who's always taking vacations asked me again to back her up, and this time I said no, I can't, I'm swamped, I'm losing my mind. So she got someone Else. This morning Else messaged me and said our boss doesn't want Else to do ALL THAT WORK by herself, and told her - of course - to give me the portion I'd already said no to. HIGH-larious.

My boss sent me less crazy feedback today, although she AGAIN said she did ABC despite her email saying when XYZ happens we *never* need to do ABC. So I replied asking very explicitly, hey, this is what YOUR email from May 4 says [insert direct quote about *never* needing to to ABC]; since you have been doing ABC when reviewing my work, I need concrete guidelines on when I should disregard your previous instruction on the matter.
We'll see what happens.
I should look for a new job, but I sure don't know what I want to do. So instead I'm going to watch 90210 on Hulu while I eat lunch.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Jeez, Zenkitty. Said boss knows damn well that you are overwhelmed, IIRC.
shrift, I wish you timely, efficient, and careful movers.

Zenkitty, our bosses need their heads clunked together.

Steph, that sounds very professional to me.

She actually replied with a useful concrete guideline AND explained the reason behind it (which boils down to "the people above her on the food chain want it that way") AND said "Thanks for sticking with this and not giving up!"
And I just wanted to say "You could have mentioned all this earlier, and I would have known to do it. I can't read minds, so when higher-ups want something to change YOU HAVE TO TELL ME." But I didn't. I just said thank you, that's very helpful and I'll be sure to double-check for it in the future.
Sheesh. And NOW I am watching 90210. (PS: Claire is THE WORST.) (So is Ray.)
