oh, I hate when I end up being an intermediary and passing information from one person/group to another ... it takes more time and leads to misunderstandings (anybody remember playing "telephone"?)

In other news, here's an old PSA for those who see something that looks like a tooth.

Here's a thing I don't understand. Why do my customers ask me to work with another group in their company to fix a problem the first group found. Why can't they just talk to each other and sort it out? I am literally just passing information from one to the other, I don't know what they need to do!

Similarly, I, the newest employee in the Dept., met with people from another Dept on a space use thing in our building. They had questions I could not answer. I sent the question on to person who would know and gave them the other Dept's contact info. They answer the question to the other dept - GOLD STAR. And then they email me and ask "will they also be needing X or Y?" - I wrote back, "I have no idea, probably best to ask them directly." Like WHY!! Why do things the most inefficient way?!?

I got my June mortgage payment made! I am getting very close to not being delinquent.

Wow, in case you really need to appreciate the Muppets more than you already do. (Though the advice IS sound).

msbelle, have you tried the "What's the name of that book?" thread/group on Goodreads?

Yay, -t!

msbelle, reading about your issue with the unknown old name change for someone - in a previous job, there was a mailing/contact list I maintained. It was a carefully guarded list - other groups kept trying to get the information from us, since it was not only relevant but I kept it up to date. Well, I changed jobs and the list passed on to someone else. She found that it had gotten outdated, so she sent a mailing to everyone on the list asking them for their new information. The catch - she used the same letter, with no indication who it was sent to, for everyone. She was talking to me about updating the list and asked if she couldn't just search the list for the old info. And I asked her, "search on what?" ... which left her realizing what had happened. Most annoying.

I don't know carbs and the calories are 164 per bar, but Coconut Bliss dark chocolate bars are the best ever. Fudgesicle-fudgicle, whichever. I'd love to find the coconut milk ice cream the Thai restaurant serves, in a store somewhere. So far, near as I can tell, it's proprietary. Seems...crass, not to mention expensive, to show up with a plastic bucket and order a dozen desserts to take home and put in the freezer, but I've been tempted.

he he ... I found this amusing.

Jilli-font:

There is a spider in my kitchen. It's big enough that I yelped when I saw it last night, but usually I can force myself to pretend the spider isn't there as long as it has hidden itself from my view when I come back. Y'all, this spider is in a crevice under my windowsill and I can see ITS DINGDANG LEGS. Or its entire body when it thinks it's safe to come out. It's not like I can burn down the building, what with the plague, so I think I need to kill it for my own sanity at this point.

In conclusion: UGH.

Timelies all!

A couple of Mr. S's front teeth are loose. Of course, he won't stop looking at/poking at them..

Sheryl, I recommend giving Mr. S a peach. That's what worked on my first baby tooth.
