You can't really expect them to address how to access existing features of a building, can you? They're not superheroes!
I know, right? The time she spent bitching to me couldn't possibly have been spent writing "Elevator" with an arrow on a piece of poster board and putting it in the lobby for the second-day attendees. That would just be silly.

Thanks. It's ok though. People get worse for doing far less, and I don't think I speak up often enough. I should change that. The moral high-ground's a lovely place. I think I'll build a summer cottage here.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And by this time next year, the biggest employer in town will know her name, and not favorably.
Okay, slower revenge, but probably more satisfying.

Good lord, Calli. It shouldn't have to be on the people who desperately need something to be the only ones to notice or ask. I was at a conference a few weeks ago and was reminded of someone discussing how people who say "oh I don't really need a microphone" are not being cool to anyone who has any degree of hearing loss. And repeatedly at the conference that happened or there weren't enough mics...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Bummer, Calli. That's so disheartening.
I was supposed to leave work 10 minutes ago, but one of my sales people sent me a list of 200+ items with the question "are we good to go with inventory?" at 3 and a coworker came by to ask about a rarely used tool at 3:25 and BAH. NO MORE QUESTIONS

At 3:15, mission control confirmed they'd set a variable wrong a year ago and, um, it might affect the times on all the data processed since then. Whoopsie? Could we let them know if it did?
We'll look into it next week, I said, and went the fuck home. If it's been wrong since last June, it can be wrong a whole fucking week more.

Not good Friday afternoon protocol, coworkers of -t!

See above, coworkers of sarameg!

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
At least this time, Mission Control setting a variable wrong didn't cause something to crash into a planet?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's some bullshit, Calli. Good on you for trying to do the right thing.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Today was our second rain day in a row and we have a mandatory meeting tomorrow morning, so the boss told us to leave early. I ran an errand, fed the kittens, and went to a movie.
now I have the hiccups and I do NOT like.
