No, but using it for work wouldn't affect my use costs. If I was home I'd be on the net anyway.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah, but it goes from something you choose to have for your own reasons to something you have to have to do your job.
Shrug. Seeing what executives get to get reimbursed for (or just send the bills to be paid by the company) has made me really bitter about this stuff.

I am sorry we didn't make plans!
Np, it would have been difficult to find time anyhow.
Something broke today (not customer facing) during a push to production so now I'm in a bar trying to fix it.

My compensation for working from home would be not losing a day of PTO for not being willing to drive through a storm.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Been kinda quiet here in Natter lately....

Yeah, well, that's a raw deal also, Connie. I'm not meaning to urge you specifically to take some kind of a stand, I'm just generally annoyed at the whole system.
In short, capitalism, feh.
Unrelatedly (or is it?) I just got my annual review because hourly employees get it earlier than salaried and my supervisor had it available so she wanted to give it to me while I'm here instead of sending copies back and forth through interoffice mail. 4 out of 5 stars, I guess that's good? No raise because I'm switching to salaried. When I accepted the salaried job I was told I would be eligible for a raise there, I don't know how that's going to work since this review covered both positions for the whole year. Whatevs.
Also got the list of accounts I'll be handling and it's pretty much a lot of special snowflakes who need their hands held often, so that'll be fun.

I had to abondon the hotel bar since the emergency alarm went off. The fire department arrived quickly and there are no signs of smoke so I'm pretty sure the hotel won't burn down. Still, it was way too noisy to work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oy vey, both of you!
I am trying to focus on how my job would be fun if I had 30% less work, which I will when I get my last open position filled.

In other news, I am having a footwear crisis. Suddenly I hate tall boots! I don't like mine, I don't like them on other people, I don't want to wear them! Is this just my usual late winter hating all my clothes, or am I really just done with boots???
