I'm continually weirded out that Chicago and Dallas are in the same time zone. Now I have to account for the panhandle too?
Hush you! I really am hoping that Paul Ryan would prefer a gets things done legacy to an obstruction legacy.
I'm pretty sure he would. Unfortunately, it sounds like he has to spend all his time fighting with the Freedom Caucus rather than actually trying to work on legislation.
Right. Doesn't matter. He's read the tea (Party) leaves. Get things done gets him primaried. Our muscled out a la Cantor. He'll continue with this "more in sorrow than anger" BS he's done with Trump, but he'll stay in line.
You ever feel like you'll welcome a really bad cold or the flu because you'd get the spend several days in bed without feeling guilty about it?
All the time. Though I was super excited last Friday when I took the morning off and then got to work from home for the rest of the day. I knocked like 8 things off my to-do list! Man, that felt good.
I jokingly long for a mild listeria exposure. When exposure to anyone with exposure to Ebola was getting people a 6 week quarantine, I was jealous.
Oh my lord. One of the people who does graphics at the AMA got completely pissed off when I emailed her directly to ask when a figure would be ready to send to the author. Apparently freelancers are NEVER to email the graphics people directly and have to bother our coordinators and ask THEM to ask the graphics people and then email us back.
The funny part, though, is that the graphics person complained to HER manager, who then talked to my coordinator. So the graphics person couldn't even talk to my coordinator directly (and my coordinator grumbled about that to me, so apparently it's not that the graphics person wasn't allowed to talk to my coordinator, she weaseled out and didn't want to).
Basically, I think the graphics person is a whiny baby and is creating inefficiencies, but since I am the bottom of the hierarchy, I will make sure to not defile her inbox ever again and make extra work for my coordinator instead of just being goddamn efficient.
Y'all, I am almost literally unable to do work that doesn't involve someone talking to me directly. Calls? I can participate in those. Actual self-directed work? Not happening.
I'm a journals coordinator, and that would annoy me. Waste of time; just answer the question.

Oh, I could tell my coordinator was annoyed at the graphics person when she emailed me to tell me about it. But, yanno, not my call.
Misha Collins is road-tripping through Ohio today to campaign for HRC, and he's going to be at the HRC office close to my house (WAY closer to flea's house than mine) at 6:30. I feel like I should go, for Buffista solidarity, but I've only watched one episode of Supernatural and I hate crowds.
But I'm still amused by it. And that's a super-small office, so I'm wondering how it's going to play out.
CLEARLY you can tell by all my posts that I can't concentrate on a goddamn thing and will probably be like this until the networks call it tomorrow night.
I have work to do, with actual deadlines, and it is NOT HAPPENING. Ack.
Ha! I never watched Supernatural at all, but I can see things being a little crazy there! When Bill Clinton went to that office, it was unannounced, and he was outside on the sidewalk.
