Host ,'Not Fade Away'
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.
Maybe Nadine is more popular in other cultures?
I have known a couple of Caribbean Nadines, actually.
My favorite name thing, which I'm sure I've shared here before, is a woman who picked a last name out of her family tree when she wanted to get rid of her ex-husband's name but didn't want her birth name back. Eventually, her son changed his name to that, too! I feel bad for the genealogists of the future, though.
Also, I walked to work, as I normally do, and it was a HUGE MISTAKE. So, so sweaty. Even though it's "only" 84 right now, apparently.
Yeah, cooler here today but it's about a million percent humidity.
My last name is a weird spelling of a common word, so I always spell it out.
Unfortunately, my parking spot is half a mile from my office, so not walking is not an option. Boy, the AC feels good once I get here.
We had a storm go through here yesterday, so I was able to have the windows open overnight and air things out. Back up to the 90s today, though.
In my ongoing get-out-of-the-south job hunt, I ran across a position in Ontario. Which certainly qualifies. No idea how likely it is that they need an eLearning technologist badly enough to import one from another country. Maybe worth a shot? If any of our Canadianistas have done time in HR and would like to weigh in, that would be awesome.
I was just saying to a coworker, the upside of no (or inadequate) air-conditioning at home is that it makes going to to the office so appealing!
True. A big part of why I am actually at the office today.
Funny, I'm pretty sure when I left on Tuesday there was some stuff left undone that I was figuring I would get to today, but sure can't think of any of it now...
I feel like I heard somewhere about someone developing or testing silent fireworks - all light and no boom for less trauma. Can't remember anything about it though, so not sure it was real.
Aaaaaand remembered what I was working on on Tuesday. Do not want to work on it again, but I guess I will. And writing myself a note.
One of the nice things about dropping everything at work for a work emergency is that the everything looks so much more appealing when I come back to it. Hello, everything. The Assistant Director isn't looking over my shoulder while I deal with you. (I mean, she's perfectly nice, but still—AD.) Let me work on you in a calm, non-stressed manner.
Let me work on you in a calm, non-stressed manner.
This is how my whole office feels this week, I think, after the 5-year Campaign ended last weekend. Ahhhh. Nothing is urgent or high-stakes? Perfect. Let's see how long we can roll with this.
Also, even with not that many people here, the scones and cookies I left in the kitchen at 8:30 are totally gone without a trace. I mean, even the packaging is gone. I don't care, because getting rid of them was my goal, but what happened??
