Without further ado, my egg sized stone [link]
Awesome! Yay surgeon for taking the picture.
I am now taking a wine break.
Yay msbelle! Well deserved.
Fuck that COO, Scrappy.
Yes, this.
ION, sucky cruise internet is sucky.
Cruise sushi made up for sucky internet because it was beyond delectable and delicious. Pix and I had a Snow Crab California and a Champagne Lobster Roll. They were so delicate and melt in your mouth. The word orgasmic may have been used. Also the other items we tasted from Drew and Brendon's plates. Even the miso soup was much better than my usual places.
Tep, I am so glad I have you to validate my tendency to communicate via quotage.
That would have had all the +1s if we did that here!
I just got the worst salad for lunch. I didn't look at the ingredients closely enough to know for sure if I really got what they intended, but bleh. A weird mish-mash of ingredients with a too-oily dressing.
Dear Contracts Manager
Yes, I called you out, privately, on your rude tone in all of our exchanges this week. NO apology or even acknowledgement that you could have communicated better while griping about how overloaded you are does not make me sympathetic. If you would just DO your job without fussing, this whole mess would have been over last week. But as it is, you are doing it piecemeal and then getting your nose out of joint when I ask you to do the following steps.
No love,
Me
Oh good, my plane got here. In about 3 hrs, I'll be in Birmingham. Hopefully with my luggage.
JFC someone just asked if they could get me feedback on something next week. We're closed next week! It's vacation! It's a three-page document! Just fucking do it now!!!
Too bad the person I want to say this to is some important contact of our board chair, so no.
Scrappy that really sucks.
I went to the library and got Die Hard. Christmas Eve and Christmas DVD line up is now: Die Hard, RED, Oklahoma, High Society and Looney Tunes.
There's going to be a lot of cursing before this year is over, I can tell.
Even more than in the past few weeks?
We have a new person who's above me - and possibly above my boss - in the office hierarchy. She's about to kill me - complicated projects dumped on me at the last minute, refuses to acknowledge when I tell her that a schedule won't work. Most recently, she's been submitting articles to be included in our weekly e-newsletter (it's a compilation of news articles - which we try to make as recent as possible - that I'm responsible for). I've told everyone repeatedly that the company that sends it out for us closed down last Friday and won't reopen until January 3; the intervening issues have been prepared and queued up to go out on schedule. But nope - she keeps coming up with "news" that will be ... olds? ... by the time the next issue comes out.
To make life complete, I'm losing a vacation day because I have to come in to send out a mass email next Friday. It's too long to schedule in advance (at least, not reliably) and she's going to want to make changes up until the last minute. grrrr ....
In better news, I saw a nice doctor Tuesday. Since August, I've lost 18 pounds (my pants are slipping off my hips!) and my A1C is 6.2. For which I am heartily grateful.
