I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm in a ReadyTalk work conference, but I cannot connect via the phone. So I can see their screen and hear everything (through the computer) they're saying, but I can't give any input (which is fine by me).

But I sent an email to the facilitator saying "I can't connect via phone, but I have ReadyTalk open and I can see and hear everything you're doing." When the facilitator read the email, she said "Stephanie, you connected by phone, but can't see the screen, is that correct?" [silence on my end] [obviously] "Stephanie?"

Seriously, they took the exact opposite from my email that I meant. Jesus.

Can see. Can't speak. Fire bad. Tree pretty.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Wow, Tep. A metaphor for our times.

I eventually got through on the phone, but it was pointless, because the part of the demonstration that affected the freelancers was about 7 minutes of the whole damn thing. Yawn.

Congrats on the new job, Jesse!

I love my job, but I might take a pay cut for a shorter commute. 1:30+ each way is pretty draining.

Wow, Jess, that's a very long commute. Do you ever get to work from home? How long was the commute before you moved?

I am so spoiled, I don't think I could go back to working in an office.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That commute would definitely kill me. An hour is too long IMO.

My new commute will be 35 minutes walking?

I have given notice and told my staff. Phew! Of course today is the day they are rolling out some layoffs and other changes.

Brooklyn to New Jersey was over an hour too, and even the closer office took 3 trains. I haven't had a commute under an hour in 13 years.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am soooooo spoiled . 10 min by car. And I am still about to negotiate work from home 1 day a week.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Mine used to be 45 minutes each way, but has expanded to an hour. Thank God for podcasts and satellite radio.
