Good luck, Maria
Woes, I had one bite of my dinner and dropped it on the floor. Good day for the dog; the one bite I had was delicious.

Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My boss sent me an email...telling me to email an author to let the author know he will be receiving a galley. Wouldn't it have taken the EXACT SAME amount of time for her to just email the author herself? And then save me -- and by extension, the AMA -- the time it takes to send that ema
One of my new, above me in the org chart but not quite a supervisor, coworkers does this. She emailed me asking that I email another coworker to ask him a meeting. And to email her back letting her know if he'd come. I know she has his email, and he's hardly intimidating. But no, we needed to double the number of emails in the mix. @_@ Luckily she seems to be the only coworker with that quirk. And in better news, I found out today that I can work from home on Wednesdays. Yay!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, Maria!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Woes, I had one bite of my dinner and dropped it on the floor.
Oh no. That's just cruel. Especially since it was delicious.
I found out today that I can work from home on Wednesdays. Yay!
Yay is right. That's a nice break during the week from being in the office.
Thank you all! We'll see how it goes. As long as it keeps moving forward I should be OK. I will be asking for presentation~ma though. I'll take all the help I can get.

I love working from home on Wednesdays. Except today, naturally, because there was more training.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Maria, much job ~ma. What a crazy situation.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Too Damn High.
Yeah. I'm kind of adjacent to the crazy startup scene -- I mean, I technically work for a tech startup, so there's that -- in a way that sometimes makes me think that it would be better for career advancement blah blah to be in either NY or SF. And then I remember that we bought a house in a MUCH smaller but super-techy area in a dodgy but charming neighborhood near the bottom of the real estate crisis, and I decide that the local tech world is plenty startup-y enough, thanks.

WFH Wednesday sounds amazing. I had a boss once who came back from mat leave at 80%, and Weds was her home day. So nice to mix up the week like that.

When I was full-time retail we got a day off during the week because theoretically we'd work weekends, (although the part-time people always wanted those shifts so I usually did not have to) and Wednesday was my day off. That was nice.

I believe there are folks here who are familiar with the work of one Mr. Stephen Sondheim?
My sister will be squiring him around on Saturday as part of her job. She felt like this might be a good place to go for some jealous gnashing of teeth.
(Rick Bayless will also be in the mix. Jealousy for everyone!)
