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

Oh.my.dog.

So there's this thing, a database maybe? I don't even know, but a customer is asking us to update it with information that is apparently missing. I obviously can't do it, my salesperson doesn't have access. I kinda remember department A having something to do with it so I ping them asking whether they handle it, copying my salesperson. My salesperson hears from someone else that maybe department B knows something about it, emails them copying me. I search through my emails and find person C saying she doesn't do it anymore, but department D handles it now, so I email department D copying my salesperson. Department A loops in department E for some reason. Department B says the supervisor of Department A might know something about it, loops him in in that separate email chain. Department E loops on peron C.

Meanwhile, my note to the customer saying I'm not having any luck getting the thing updated, can I just email her some information comes back with an autoresponse that my contact is working remotely and shell answer as soon as she can

This is all just so stupid.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Feeling cranky right now. I got home from work half an hour ago, and I'm already annoyed with Mr. S.

I am still super-cranky about the way they took about my GIS program without giving me the opportunity or guidance to download all my project-specific data. Which means I lost six years of project information, yay.

And I bitched about it and nobody has emailed me back and I think it's because my email might be broken? there was an all-hands email yesterday that I never got for some reason.

Bah.

Oh, dear, Consuela.

Well, it's been a day and a half but my work day is done and while it felt like I was getting nowhere pretty much all day I did actually accomplish some stuff. W-E-E-K-E-N-D

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm exhausted. It's been a long week.

Can I just say, I like learning new things, and I like figuring things out. I do not like doing those things under pressure.

But I still like my job and my coworkers and my boss and even my office. Since apparently I have to have a job, this one is a pretty good one.

ION, I've discovered I really like Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream. This is not a good development.

Mmm, Chunky Monkey is good stuff

Trudy, if I ever hear about any high ranking Republicans walking around with some kind of sci fi artificial lungs I will be SO PISSED

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have to work tomorrow, feh. But maybe not that much, and it's not like I had any other plans, so.

Given the fact that hydroxychloroquine causes heart problems, coupled with the amount of cholesterol the man shoves into his mouth, I'm amazed he hasn't had a massive coronary at this point.

I don't believe he's taken any. Either he's lying to us or his doctor is lying to him.
