Everything is coming through one set of speakers. I'm pretending I can hear, but I totally can't. Smile and nod, smile and nod.
Natter 74: Ready or Not
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.
You are making me very glad I own a house, shrift. Even though it needs many smallish repairs and maybe bigger ones that I am resolutely not looking into and the floorboards are suddenly buckling near the front door and I can't shut the iron gate by the driveway any more and yardwork never ever ends. At least I don't need a resume to live there.
Things it is important I do today:
-
Unload the dishwasher, reload and runneeds to be done again - Make cheesecake - started

Work
OMG one of the things that made me crazy yesterday is that they are rolling out a new expense system to everyone. It starts Monday, but yesterday was the only training session they had before next week. And lo and behold, they could only fit 200 people in the webex, so it got full and no one else could log in and they tried to send another email but because it was going to everyone in North America it never actually came through...etc, etc. so shitty.
Ugh, meara. That sounds like a complete mess. Tons of ~ma for everyone dealing with work badness right now.
The people in Europe want to go home, and it's getting shirty here.
And I've got a government contractor who wants us to completely requote something to base + option years when they asked for a straight lease term before, and doesn't understand why I have to reprice everything including the sales and excise tax.
tl;dr meara and Dana, I feel you. And not in the fun way.
My work computer has a nasty virus, despite us having AVG anti-virus software. I'm waiting for AVG to get back to me so they can remote-in to my computer and (hopefully) fix it.
Luckily today I have work to do using a different computer.
ION, tonight I have a date with Anna. I can't stop thinking about her--I am well and truly smitten.
I am well and truly smitten.
This makes me so happy, but probably not as happy as it makes you. Have a wonderful time this evening!
Yay tommyrot! So lovely to hear.
Commiserations for people stuck with icky work stuff and training and glayvin.
