I have probably spent 4 of the last 8 hrs of work typing the same damned info over and over to this box of hair who has zero reading comprehension. If he's reading at all. I've been yelling at the screen all morning.

I am simultaneously happy that I'm not in Houston, relieved that the hurricane won't seriously impact New Orleans, and guilty about those two feelings.
With you on all that.

Co-worker, as we prep for hurricane duty: "I don't know, we might get competent users." Mad laughter erupts from several points of the floor.

It's my 9th anniversary at work today. I'm celebrating by... sleeping in and working from home like I usually do on Fridays?
