Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Therefore as a special birthday present for aurelia I shall grant a Clinton win in 11 days. Happy birthday!
Best. Gift. Ever. Thanks!
I can't get into my workplace unless security has opened the building so I can't be the only one in the building. I have often been the only one on my floor aside from the security desk though.
I love being the only person in the bakery, although that's always in the evening when I'm closing, not in the morning. It's so wonderfully quiet when I'm alone there.
I work with crazy people, so by the time I wander in at 7:30 am half my team is already there. (Two of them get here at 5:30 am. I'm not even awake yet.) We also always have someone at the front desk and our Help Desk is here 24/7 so the building is never empty.
The interesting thing I've learned from Wikileaks is that things are pretty much the way one suspects they are.
Listening to the shocking details this morning DH and I were mostly looking at each other and shrugging at the news that the campaign was competent. Like wow, they prepared themselves for possible questions from the press. How practical! That is some October surprise.

Since I don't work in an office, I genuinely have no idea: what's the proper way to ask someone higher up than you if the two of you can discuss XYZ project? Is "touch base" something that only goes from higher-up to lower-down?
Yeah, I don't know. And I don't know that I could come up with an actual rule, it was just the whole tone was "here's what I need from you," which is not the right tone to take with your new boss IMO.
I've always just walked up and asked. But maybe that's in the tech world which might be different.
She was emailing before work, so neither one of us was here yet.
One of my co-workers is pregnant, the girlfriend of another co-worker is mysteriously ill. Much discussion of childbirth and "I should definitely not have a kid but it could be cool" has resulted. I feel old. And amused.
Yeah, I don't know. And I don't know that I could come up with an actual rule, it was just the whole tone was "here's what I need from you," which is not the right tone to take with your new boss IMO.
Would it be better to word it as "Would you be available to discuss my project"?
