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.

Good lord, yes.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

we have a mandatory meeting tomorrow morning

Booooooo!!

yep, once a quarter. I have to plan it. We don't have a space big enough on site, so it's at a hotel and we get crappy hotel buffet breakfast with it. I hates it. Oh and over half the meeting will be about safety issues that do not pertain to office staff, but the two of us who do not supervise people and work in the office still have to be there. I added two things about processes that people keep not doing or messing up which creates more work for me, so I get to be a process bitch for part of it at least.

Well, I can't help with the Saturday meeting, sorry, but I heard of a hiccup cure that's weird enough to share. Evidently, if you say "fish!" emphatically and drawn out (FIIIIIIIISSSSHHHHHHH!) it can help realign your diaphragm or whatever's out of whack with hiccups and stop them.
