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.

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
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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.

This makes me so happy, but probably not as happy as it makes you. Have a wonderful time this evening!

Commiserations for people stuck with icky work stuff and training and glayvin.

Okay, that meeting got ugly. This does not bode well for future meetings.

Yay smitten!
And for making me aware of the egregious use of 'decimate' in that headline.
I can understand why the customers are upset. They still have 90 per cent of their chicken sandwiches left but aren't selling them.
