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.
so it's kind of delightful having a boss who doesn't really understand my work, instead of being the long-standing expert in it.....
I find having a boss who doesn't really understand my work leads to him making up goals that have no connection to my reality and bad reviews when I don't meet them (cuz I was busy doing the job he doesn't quite comprehend rather than his made-up shit). I'm glad your situation went the other way.
DH tends to leave MSNBC on but I make him change it. Rachel's voice puts him to sleep almost instantly. Mostly I make him change it to HGTV or Netflix. I like Newsy for a change. Never watch local news unless there is a hurricane, and then I tend to go to the local news website.
Thanks for the birthday wishes. I may do something this weekend.
Laura, did your place get through Isaias okay?
11 calls in one day sounds like an OSHA violation
In my defense, I'm an analyst and I have to run 2 of those calls - that is stressful! Analysts shouldn't have to run meetings, we should be able to just provide Sales with the information they need and sit in a corner quietly until we are needed
Happy birthday, Fred Pete! I think I already wished you one elsewhere, but not here, so have more wishes
Happy Birthday Fred Pete! hope you stay safe and comfortable!
Happy birthday, Fred Pete!
Laura, congratulations and welcome to Judah! I love the name.
My sympathies to all of those without power and/or trees. That storm was quick but powerful.
In other news, I would like to come home from work one day this week without rage-crying. It doesn't seem like a lot to ask.
Happy Birthday, Fred Pete!
Congratulations, Laura! (WEEEEE Babbies!)
{{Sophia}} I am sorry. I love how people we don't see that often can have such a remarkable impact on our lives. It sounds like he was an amazing person and I am glad he was your friend.
ND, you are constantly at the back of my mind during all this.
My co-worker may have went into labor and my boss has to quarantine because her husband got sick and is waiting for a COVID test, while another co-worker is out on vacation. Shifts are going to be a little crazy around here for a bit.

Oh dear, yes, that would be suboptimal.

That sounds right! Good luck with your future meetings.

Yow.

Yes, I think I may have had more rain here in NY than DH did in Florida. He still did all the prep because it won't be the last storm.
