IT. powered off one of our systems without much warning and then all went to a meeting before turning it back on after finishing the power work.
I'm unamused.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I remember reading something science-y that claimed people over 40 shouldn't work more than 30 hours a week. I'm going with that.

In the theatre world we actually have a regular thing called a 10 of 12, it's a 12 hour day with a 2 hour dinner break. These are typically used for tech rehearsals. I don't think I've ever worked a 40 hour week.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds terrible.

They are not the best way to get good results from creative professionals, that's certain. Film shoots are even worse, span of day so bad that it's not uncommon to have people die because they fell asleep at the wheel getting home. It's a real problem for the movie industry.

Apparently I am indispensable at work lately. I need to figure out how to include this in my performance evaluation this quarter so the mere thought of not having me around strikes terror in the hearts of others.
Edit: unfortunately did not refresh my browser to see ND's post before I wrote my post, yikes

I'm going to eviscerate IT at our next meeting.
And possibly another coworker for not reading carefully and possibly giving me more of a mess.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Got a weird e-mail today. I recently registered myself and Mr. S for a con(one we attend every year). The e-mail was from someone in the registration department, asking if Mr. S was a stuffed animal, since he had been listed as "Mascot" in their files. I quickly replied that, no, he's a child. I have no idea how that listing happened.

Lol! I love that people even could be listed as "mascot"?
I am super over work. Covering for one person this week and a different one next week and some of that is fine but some is aaaaaaaaargh.
